He walked across the room and dropped down on the bed beside her "I don’t like the sound of that to be honest"

"Big surprise there"

Lucian grinned as he stretched out on his side in front of her "What were you doing?"

"Nothing really" She lifted a shoulder "Just checking the news"

"You going to join us for dinner tonight?"

"With you and?"

"Gabe should be back, but it would be later or tootten earlier in the day Other than that, he wasn’t sure as going on

Sy I could do for hiers around hers Right now, he didn’t want to think about as going on with Gabe There’d be ti to change their lives "What do you think?"

"Lucian--"

"Let me tell you what I think first" He drew her hand to his mouth and kissed her palm as he stared up at her "I think you should have dinner with us and then spend a little ti holed up in your room"

She didn’t try to pull her hand away "I don’t know if that’s a good idea"

"Why not?" He flicked his tongue along the center of her hand, pleased when he heard her suck in air

He lowered their joined hands to the bed "Because what?"

"I just don’t know if it’s right"

"Well, things that are fun are rarely right"

She sighed "Why am I not surprised that’s how you responded"

Lucian chuckled and then he rabbed her by her shoulders She let out a little shriek that turned into a laugh as he brought her down to the bed, flat on her back with hi over, a knee on either side of her hips

"That surprised you," he said, kissing her

Julia laughed into the kiss and then pulled away "It did" She loosely looped her ar to you" He smoothed his hand over her cheek, down her throat

"Can’t wait to hear this," she said, tone dry

One side of his lips kicked up as he dragged his hand down the center of her top, stopping between her breasts "If I’ so to hide them That may sound crude, but it’s the truth"

Her eyes widened "Wow Do you normally hide the women you sleep with?"

"As you know, I normally don’t sleep with the same woman more than once--"

"That still sounds as bad as the first tied as he slid his hand down her belly "But I never hide the fact that I’ve been with them Just like I don’t plan to hide the fact that I’aze lifted to hers "And I’ with you"
