"I wanted to irl to be going to those types of parties"

"What’s that supposed to irls at those parties know the deal They fit the lifestyle" Zane paused "I didn’t want to see you getting hurt"

"So what deal is that Zane?" I frowned "Do you s for Zane club’?"

"The what?" He looked at hed "Did you just lared at him "It seems to me that you seem to think you are the only one who can look after hiirl, but I don’t need you to come save me Zane You can save that for the 2 whores you take out every Friday night"

"That’s a lo, Lucky" He frowned "And I’ll have you know I don’t sleep with every girl I take out"

"Oh really? So you didn’t sleep with any of the girls I’ve seen you with at Lou’s"

"Well, hold on" He grinned "I never said that"

My heart fell at his words I was hoping he was going to say that he had never slept with any of theht, and that hy he had gone on sohimself for his future wife and then, I would tell hi ether

"So you’ve slept with most of them?" I looked up at hiency behind the question

"I’d rather not talk about my sex life with you, Lucky" He peered at me with a serious expression "I’ you, but I thought it was for the best And it turns out, I was right I followed ot horily I waslife

"She got ho to let you get so, we can call a tow truck and have it towed to the shop"

"I don’t have any hed softly "Well, I have soh" I looked down at the lush crea e out" He reached over and grabbed my arm "I promise, Lucky It’ll be okay" His blue eyes crinkled war to coe, and I felt e

"I hope so" I sighed, lettingto feel even ht melancholy build up in me A wave of exhaustion hit rinned and winked "I’ll see you in the ht" I watched him as he walked out of the room and quickly shouted "And thanks"

"No problem" He didn’t look back as he sauntered down the hallway and I quickly closed the door before pulling offon his boxers and t-shirt I sniffed the t-shirt to see if I could shed atsized bed I moaned out in pleasure as I slipped in between the sheets They reminded of hotel sheets, and I knew that they had to be 500-thread count Egyptian cotton I ainst ainst the down feather pillows, and I wondered what Zane was doing and thinking I felt a war concerned for me It had been a little creepy that he had waited for me, but part of me felt exhilarated and cared for He had to like et houileless, local girl and he felt a responsibility for me because he saw me every Friday at Lou’s I felt disappointed then Maybe he didn’t really care for me at all At least not in the way that I wanted I feltand I yawned I rolled over exasperated withht to myself as I drifted to sleep

I awoke about two hours later, sweating and delirious I felt disoriented in the big bed, and juo home I wanted to be in my own space and look at the photos of my parents I wiped o down to the kitchen to get a glass of water I knew that I couldn’t go back to bed right away Not with the ihtly, hoping not to make any noise and I looked around the house in awe It was beautiful and large, in a non-ostentatious way This must be what Scarlett O’Hara ht as I floated down the stairs i myself to be the lady of the manor What would it feel like to live in a palatial home like this? I looked at the statues in the foyer, lit up by the h the as a bit surprised at the décor of the house It seee, but what did I really know? I juround, and the h to htly I paused, and looked up the staircase to make sure that I hadn’t disturbed Zane

I walked quickly through the hallway and into the kitchen, trying to be as quiet as possible I walked into the kitchen and looked around in amazement--it was beautiful I was just about to open the doublewide, stainless steel fridge when I felt soh!" I screa rapidly

"Hey sorry" Zane’s voice was calm and slow, and he looked at me with a twinkle in his eyes "I didn’t et so at his nad chest Zane looked even htly overwhele to runsexy--Ifuriously

"I don’t see why you can’t have been feeling both ways" He laughed and opened a drawer "I think I’ll join you in a glass"

"Did I wake you up?" I watched his biceps flex as he took the glasses out, and I sed hard

"No, I couldn’t sleep"

"Oh" I wanted to ask hi nosey

"I was about to go in the hot tub"

"Oh" I looked down and realized he earing a pair of swihs and wondered if he played soccer I had always had a thing for guys who played soccer

"You are welcome to join me if you like"

"I don’t have a swimsuit" Please don’t tell ht toone of his skanky girlfriend’s outfits

"We can skinny dip" He winked, and laughed at , Lucky"

"I knew that" I sed the water quickly, trying to ignore the telltale feelings in o to bed"

"Or we can just talk?" He smiled "If that would help"

"You don’t want to talk"

"How little you trust me, Lucky" He cocked his head and smiled "But actually yes, I would love to talk"

I bitelse or anything, just that maybe you wanted to relax and not feel the need to entertain rinned and opened a cupboard "Want some cookies?"

"What cookies do you have?" I paused "And do you have hot chocolate as well?"

"You are not going to eat cookies and drink hot chocolate as well?" Zane looked at me with a shocked expression

"There’s a reason I’htness between us I wasn’t sure what had changed between us, and it was ale in the way Zane was s at me
