I glared up at hi sex was part of the deal you ? Wasn’t that what you wanted?”

“Of course it’s what I wanted, but I wasn’t expecting it All I wanted was tolove is your decision I’ve never forced a wo now” His lips skimmed over my forehead before he rested his chin on top of my head “Lie still and sleep, baby”

Tears burnedhi to be part of the deal I’d made with him Maybe I’d even made it because of that, so I could have that part of hiain

It was too late for that now Withoutit, I’d let my walls down that day and he’d snuck in He’d never had to try very hard to getme like I was special had been my downfall the last time, and it hadn’t even taken that much this time around A small touch here, a deep look there and I’d becoain

I kneas because I hadn’t fallen out of love with him the last time As an, I kneas a big fat lie I wasn’t ever going to et over hi to be

With fingers that tre me that despite his words he was just as desperate for me as I was for hi to take advantage of you”

“Wh-what if I want you to take advantage?” I whispered

“I’d say you have to be the first one to otten what I want You back inafter that is only a bonus But you have to be the one to ainst ht here Take what you want But don’t expect me to do it for you”

His lips tasted just as I reerous That was hoould always describe thisI affected hierous as I kneas Just as powerful I could ht touch of ainst his

How had I forgotten that I had always been able to produce this reaction in this man? Even if it was just on a physical level, Jet and I made an incredible co for them The passion wasn’t there for them and that was just a sad life to have to live I’d never worried about us when it came to our attraction to each other It was only when one south for us

I wouldn’t be that stupid this time around I wouldn’t let ht be It didn’t matter that I was still in love with Jet None of it mattered I just wanted as erousness as I could get Who kne long it would last? Maybe he would get bored with ain in just a feeeks or o back to work for Eot with him

“Flick” He breathed my name in a choked voice “Are you sure?”
