Surveying her apron--one that reads Warning: Wo--I patpeople is Storm’s passion and she’s an excellent cook They’ve joked about installing a revolving door for all the people who pass in and out of their Miaers and lots of other stuff Enough for a crowd, and there see around here" There’s a pause and then, "So tellnew dancer?"

"Thirty seconds in the door, Storossip," I toss back Inside,I don’t knohat the hell happened thisAfter what I can only describe as the kind ofsex that sated every fiber of my body and soul in a way that no other woladly accoerly continue where we left off

But the only thing she see over her words, offering weak excuses Practically beggingthe hell out of me

In fairness, she was so exhausted that she practically passed out inher onto her bed I know because I sat beside her and watched her drift off, pushing her gorgeous blond hair off her face, worrying that I should wake her up to take those da for pricey bedsheets that I couldn’t find

Still, exhausted or not, sos Maybe everything I told her started sinking in and she freaked out Maybe I should have taken her back tothat happen on the pier I couldn’t helpevery second, every word that escaped her mouth Every moan

And I still can’t er proet Charlie here Now I guess I’ll just have to wait And dodge Storation

"I’ difference" She s me her perfect white teeth "And when it comes to the mysterious Cain’s love life, yes, your friends are all extremely interested I swear, Ben is infatuated I don’t reirl sowith several bottles of wine, atte to distract her, as bare feet pad out from the kitchen "Cain!"

Ben’s obnoxious voice carries halfway down the hall "she was gone when I woke up, though, which sucked because damn, she had the most spectacular--"

"Cock?" I interrupt loudly as I step into the roo Ben’s shoulder as I pass by him I’m not surprised to find the lot of thea out on one of the h Stor reh the wall-to-ceiling s and, aside from the tan leather sectional and chestnut-brown cabinetry, everything’s decorated in whites and grays

"Boss uys burst out in a round of laughter over hlights"

"Eh I don’t really doubt that every bit of what Ben says is true and happened exactly as described Sometimes I wonder how his dick hasn’t fallen off yet

Dan rounds the couch with his large hand outstretched, a genuine smile stretched across his face "Good to see you here, Cain"
