“Bedtime?”
“Probably.” I try to hold in another yawn, but it breaks out. I look around the room, seeing that Oliver actually brought in my purse that I let go of when he yanked me into that first kiss.
“Let’s tuck you in.”
“Can you spend the night?” I bite my lip, feeling like a schoolgirl. This isn’t the first time I’ve slept in the same bed as a guy.
He grins, and my stomach flutters. I feel the need to throw myself at him again, but sleep is calling for me.
“Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
Oliver
My feet dangle over the edge of the bed. Not the best feeling in the world. I would rather they be under covers and supported by a mattress, but the twin-size bed is barely enough to hold both Sally and me.
We pretty much have to spoon so neither of us will fall off. Though, if she asks for any sort of space, I’ll gladly fall onto the floor to give it to her.
It’s weird to think I’m currently in my childhood friend’s room and in his bed, though I’m too big for it now. Everything about this feels so familiar. I should run away from here before the memories start to hurt again, but oddly enough, I don’t feel sad right now.
Is it because of Sally?
Being with someone who reminds me of the old times and has experienced the same pain as me does help to fill the void, but part of me still wants to see him again, even if he forgot about me.
Last night was big for Sally and me. I’ve never been a label guy, but last night was different. I could have easily walked away, but it’s like she’s a magnet. I needed to be near her, hold her, kiss her.
With that thought, I realize she’s not pressed up against me anymore. I’d be hard right now if she was. Reaching out to wrap my arm around her, there’s nothing but a warm mattress. I frown, feeling the heat from where her body should be.
I shift my head, lifting it up enough to see my girl sitting on the edge of the bed, looking out over the dark room. Moonlight barely lights the space, and you can hear crickets chirping outside.
Without moving much, hoping not to alert her to my presence, my eyes follow her slender back and shoulders. She seems calm, but Sally hides emotions like an undercover agent on a mission.
She’s swimming in my dark green tee. The sight of her in my clothes causes my cock to stir again. She’s a vision, the best sight of all.
After all the adrenaline died down, putting Sally to bed was my main priority. She looked at me meekly before asking if she could sleep in my shirt.
I’m pretty sure I threw the fabric at her as she went down the hall to change. A few minutes passed, and Sally was back in the room, swimming in my shirt, and I wanted to kiss her again.
My eyes lift from her body and land on the still slightly red mark that blemishes her neck. My jaw tightens, remembering the red that I saw last night.
I want to find the asshole that dared to lay his hands on my girl. Sure, she wasn’t mine at that point, but it doesn’t matter. No one should dare to touch her in any way she doesn’t want.
“Does that happen often?” My voice causes Sally’s shoulders to jolt slightly.
She turns with a confused look adorning her gorgeous face, but my eyes never leave the mark on her neck. I keep staring like the redness will cower out of fear from my intensity.
She quirks a smile for a second, but that doesn't last long as my frown deepens, and hers turns to a thin slit.
“Princess,” I say in a warning tone.
Her lips part, and she turns back toward the room. “Some are timid, probably scared of their own shadow. They are so scared of being exposed for their fetish.”
I wince at the words, knowing she’s referring to herself as the fetish. There’s distance in her voice like she’s come to terms with the fact that many people view her as nothing more than a sexual object.
“Others…” The only sound audible is the crickets outside. The house is dead silent, and it makes me hang on every word Sally says. “Let’s just say some can be rough.”
My nostrils flare. “Why do you see these guys?” My words come out with a bit more bite than intended, but I’m also pissed.
