For an unknown reason it makes me smile. I usually don’t let anyone talk to me the way she does.
“You know I want you to lock your door,” I grumble as I pull back the covers to her bed.
“What are you doing?” She scoffs as she shoots upwards. “You shouldn’t be in here. What if someone saw you,” she whispers.
I nudge her hip with my knee as I climb in the bed. “Chill Vix, no one saw me. Scoot over.”
“Why do you want in my bed?”
“I want to lay with you.”
I can make out parts of her face in the dark. Her brows scrunch together as she looks at me. I can’t explain it either, Vix. I look into her eyes, so full of questions. She eventually scoots over, making enough room for me to slide in beside her. I get her situated with her head on my shoulder. It’s silent for a moment.
“You were gone all day,” she whispers.
“Yeah. We had some stuff to take care of.” I sigh.
“Does it have to do with the Serpents?”
“Tanner…”
“Sorry. I know. Don’t ask questions,” she says as her finger absentmindedly traces the tattoo on my chest.
My hand slides across the silky skin on her thigh.
“Maverick,” she says softly.
“Zeke.” I correct.
I lean in and press my lips to hers. “When we are in here, it’s Zeke.”
She pulls away and leans her forehead to mine. “Okay. Zeke……why are you in here?”
I look at her face and answer honestly. “I don’t know.” I lean in and kiss her again. “I just needed to be with you for a minute.”
Her fingers move to my cheek, and she smiles. I lean in again; I just need one more kiss. “Goodnight, Vix.” I whisper against her mouth.
I stand from her bed and sneak back to my room. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I closed my eyes. I’m not sure what is happening to me. I never want to spend time with a woman unless I’m getting something out of it. Let’s be honest, sex. I’m not a relationship guy. I have found the club is not really the place for it. Choosing to ignore my confusing thoughts, I rolled onto my stomach. It wasn't long before I was passed out, with strawberry hair filling my dreams.
