"Did you kill hiet the answer out of him I propped myself up on one elbow and stared down at him

He looked atto be taken for an idiot, I said, "I’hed and shook his head "No"

I studied hi to slip in that face of his If he was lying, he didn’t show it

"Are you a thug?"

He burst out laughing, but I didn’t allow that topatiently for him to calm down and answer the question

"No," he finally said "I’"

"What do you do?"

"I own a few businesses around town"

"What businesses?"

"Why don’t I show you toot o back home So why not just tell me what businesses you own?"

He twisted his lips, and propped himself up on his elbow too so that ere face to face barely a foot away "So you won’t let uess you’ll never know"

Irritated by his cockiness, I turned away and settled myself back down on the far end of thehe was being, but I wanted to talk to hi the sa to create beneath the covers – I couldn’t focus on sleep I felt that ache again, an ache that could only be satiated by his touch I tightly squeezed et too carried away by es flashed before my eyes; his tattoo, the broad shoulders nearwhen he thrust into ave me, and the fullness I felt of hirouchy now that I was horny as hell and couldn’t do a thing about it No way in hell would I initiate anything again, and if he initiated it?

I closed ined cool air hitting h and away from the noise of the world below I tried to think of the tranquillity I’d feel in the co happy and at peace… And then, just like that, I thought of sex with Jaxon, and that peaceful, tranquil sky oing to be a long night

I was thankful that sleep won over sometime later I fell into a deep, content slumber, and not once did I stir I was pleasantly surprised that my body alar for once Not even the sunlight ofbothered me like it normally did I was too content, comfortable and warm Too warm, actually

I opened one eye, and shut it Then I opened it again, and shut it again Where auest room in Lucinda’s house I opened my eye, this tiht away that I was no longer on the edge of the bed where I had fallen asleep I was actually right in the centre What the fuck is pressing into my back?

I ide awake now, and completely mindful of Jaxon’s body wrapped around , and not just that, but I had a leg between both of his Fuck, did I initiate this too soht?
