"Let's go back to sleep. We have a few more hours before we need to be up," Braxton encouraged.
"Is it okay if I sleep in your arms like this?" I asked nervously, worried it might be inappropriate.
I didn't want to offend Logan. Even though he said I could potentially date the others, I didn't want to look like I was making advances to Braxton and the other guys and neglecting him.
I was only in my lingerie and an extremely thin shirt, which was the reason why I felt so cold, but I didn't want to pull away from Braxton's warmth.
"Logan said it’s fine as long as we don't touch you in a sexual way. Or he'll kick our asses and make sure we wished we were never born," Braxton revealed.
"Well then. That's an intense punishment," I commented.
"I agree with you, but if I had a woman like you as a partner, I'd say the exact same thing. After beating the shit out of the person, burning them to ash, and throwing their remains in the ocean at the edge of Brighten,” he concluded.
I blinked and then gawked at his sweet smile.
"Now that's just cruel."
"Nah, Precious. When I have my eyes on something I like, I protect it from any harm and will make anyone pay if they dare look at what's mine the wrong way,” he whispered, his low voice sending thrills of excitement down my body as my heart skipped a beat.
"Even though you just met me?" I questioned.
"A person can meet someone once and feel like they've known each other for years. One interaction can be enough to set off a chain of interactions that can lead to friendship or even love. Just because I only recently met you, doesn't mean I can't show you kindness."
"You wouldn't let some random girl or guy lay their head on your bare chest," I pointed out.
His grin widened and his eyes twinkled with mischief.
"You're right, I wouldn't. I guess you’re the exception, Jewel."
I blushed, looking away and lowering my head.
"You're still a tease."
"And you're beautiful with and without clothes,” he complimented, making my face grow hot at the reminder that he had seen me naked. I slapped his chest and he flinched.
"Ow. You're not supposed to inflict damage on fragile items,” he complained.
"You're nowhere near fragile with that cock of yours," I teased and grinned when he stayed silent.
I took a quick peek and saw that his face was completely red.
"Jeez, leave him alone."
"Him, as in your cock has a name? Please don't tell me you named your cock," I snickered.
His face grew even more red and my jaw went slack.
"Your cock has a name? What is it?" I inquired, dying to know. "Please don't tell me it’s Jimmy or something. That's like the perfect vibrator name."
Braxton coughed at my words and shook his head.
"I feel in some areas you're as innocent as ever and other areas, you're too knowledgeable."
"I'll take that as a compliment, but fess up," I pressed. "What about Alexa?"
"I would not give my cock a female's name or name it after that stupid device that's some new trend. We have magic to open doors and give us a glimpse of the weather. Don't need to ask a computer,” he grumbled.
"You're avoiding the question."
