For one thing, I finally found out where Raaf has heldwith the fact that er days It's still not so he wants to talk about, however, but since Raaf is si to think reticence is just a given where their, um, childhood activities are concerned

Raaf and I have also ether, and we live in the apartment next to Father's while Gerard and the rest live one floor down Father has been adamant about this, and he says it's the only way he'll seriously try being friends with my former kidnapper

That Father's essentially black us didn't really sit ith me, but since Raaf ift to say yes, I can't exactly complain In any case, Father did keep his word, and while they're not what I'd call the best of friends, both men always have the ti and safety comes up

Father and Raaf have sonet for really, really bad people As a result, I have undercover security following me round the clock, and while I'm still not sure how I feel about it, I've decided to let it befor now

Why does he always sood?

"Always get turned on by the way I smell," he finishes for me

"It's nothing to feel shy about I'm yours to sniff as ers curve around uides my mouth down to the side of his neck

Oh dear

My toes curl hard, and even though I know I'ht into his trap, I just can't resist it I take a litle sniff—-

Mmmmm

His chuckle is low and sexy, a sound that's only forin my seat
