"You’re not borrowing anything You’re stealing" I grabbed her arht it would be kind of kinky to er’s house, I ado"

"Hold on, let me see what she has in the closet first" She pulled away fromin here soround and then I heard her take a sharp breath as she stuffed so "Louis Vuitton will do" She turned towards et laid, I’m all yours" I watched her in horror and lust as she pulled her top off and then pulled her bra off as she walked towards e to grab her and bend her over

"You know you want to" She pressed her lips against ressively and I pulled away in distaste

"No Let’s go"

"Fuck me, asshole, or I’ll tell Mr and Mrs Smith that you broke in"

"I think I’o ho her in the eyes I felt disgusted withof horror that was seeping into my veins What we had done hadn’t been sexy or fun It had been invasive and creepy Who was I beco to wonder who she was

"You co in, Noah?" Lucky opened the door and peeked out at ot distracted"

"So what’s this I hear about a dinner date?" Her voice was excited and happy, and I knew that at least I had gotten one thing right

"Remember that waitress at the restaurant?"

"The one that didn’t like you?"

"Yeah," I laughed "Well she’s coht!" Her jaw fell open and I could see a million questions in her eyes "Come inside, we need to decide what to cook"

"I’ood" I followed her inside and into the kitchen

"Whatever I decide to cook?" She laughed and shook her head "You Beauible" She slipped her arhthe whole dinner tonight But I’ll help"

"Please, Lucky" I gave her a pleading smile and she shook her head

"Nope Anyways, it will be ht, Zane?" She looked over at hied "I don’t care who cooks the food as long as it tastes good"

"Zane" Lucky frowned at hiuess you don’t want me to cook anymore"

"No, no, no That’s not what I meant," he backtracked quickly and I chuckled

"No, children No need to bicker" I looked down at Lucky and saw the mirth in her eyes as she beaood"

"Is she vegetarian, though?" She suddenly frowned

"I have no idea" I shrugged "Should I call and ask her?"

"No, no" She pursed her lips "I’m sure she would have said if she was"

"Who is she?" Zane interrupted us with a confused look "Who are you two talking about?"
