A small smile tickled his delicious lips. He was oblivious as to how sexy he was. I could picture myself licking his lips and sucking his tongue as he drove the length of his dick into me without remorse. Desiree! My inner voice reprimanded.
“My home is my escape when I want to be away from everyone and everything. There, I’m surrounded by things that I like, things that I find interesting and beautiful. I suppose there is a certain level of happiness you can create if you try,” he added.
“Created happiness. Like my art. I love creating something beautiful, giving meaning to the things that others throw away. When I walked into your home, I got the sense that I had walked into something meaningful, something beautiful. I honestly felt like I belonged if that makes any sense.”
He stared at me with questions looped in his strained expression. He sensed I was talking about more than his house. I believe I confused him, but I was suffering. I throbbed with an urgent need, a hungry ached for his touch, his kiss, him.
I scooted even closer, removing the last bit of space between us, and liking that my leg was flush against his. When I placed my hand atop his thigh, he jumped.
“Desiree,” he warned, as he attempted to move away with nowhere to go. His buzzing phone sounded and caused him to jump up to answer it.
He spun back in my direction, and after being on it for a few seconds, handed it to me. My face crinkled, but I took the phone.
“Desiree.” Her sweet tone sounded in my ear.
“Patrena. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Tywin let me use his phone so I could let you know I was home and okay. He’s going to give me a disposable to use so we can keep in touch.”
“You have the gift I gave you for your birthday a year ago?” I questioned.
“Yes, it’s already in arm’s reach. Stay safe. Love you.”
“Love you too,” was my response before I swiped the shiny screen of Khane’s phone. The way Tywin had been eyeballing Patrena, I wanted to know if she had her mace spray ready. He was a big-ass dude, just as big as Khane. I knew I was being over-protective, but Patrena was like family, and I didn’t need her getting involved with a Vallin, or to get tangled any deeper in the mess stirring. She was already in enough danger because of me.
My questions after the spa incident returned. Was she always going to be in danger because of her involvement with me? Was I going to have to end our friendship to keep her safe?
