Rome

I was home alone because Calloent to Ruin He said he had inore He left a guard outside the house to keep an eye on the place so I wouldn’t be unprotected

Even though the guy was a trained professional and had a gun, I still preferred Calloway’s protection

I’d slept with hier Without any action for six weeks, I had been going crazy And knowing that big, sexy man was just across the hall from me tested my patience

So I caved

Nothing was different between us, and to top it off, Calloent to Ruin ireement were slim

I slept in one The insecure side ofup with a sub at that very moment, some woman who liked to have a chain around her neck He’d just h sex with someone else

I had to remind myself Calloould never do that

He looked exhausted, like he was out late last night In fact, it looked like he hadn’t slept at all “Good ”

I shouldered ”
