Fuck, she doesn’t need to beg me. I’d do anything for her. Lennox thinks evil follows in her footsteps. She has no idea that I have her back now, and I won’t allow anyone or anything to come between us.
Chapter 14
Lennox
“Rise and shine, sleepyhead.”
Ghost’s gruff voice greets me as I stretch from my silky, warm cocoon. I slowly open my eyes and look around, remembering that I’m in Ghost’s bed. The first thing I see is Ghost’s face. He’s lying beside me, smiling and looking more than satisfied. I let him in last night. I knew better, but I did it anyway, and can’t bring myself to regret it either. The way he’s looking at me is everything.
“This is different.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s the next morning and you’re still in bed with me,” I laugh.
“You like that?”
“I never have before, but with you I find that I prefer it,” I confess with an honesty that isn’t easy to come by—at least for me.
“Noted. How’re you feeling, Tiger?”
“Better than I should. Thank you for last night. I’m not used to?—”
“Last night was the best that I can remember ever having, Lennox. No need to thank me.”
I raise an eyebrow, shaking my head, instantly dismissing his words as fake flattery. “You like it when a woman falls apart on you?”
“If that woman is you? Yeah.”
“Ghost—”
“Don’t say it,” he snaps, shocking me.
“You don’t know what I was going to say.”
“Unless it’s agreeing you’re staying here with me, I don’t want to hear it.”
“I can stay tonight,” I laugh with a smile. I want to soak in every minute I can with him.
“Not long enough.”
I smile and curl into him, placing a kiss on his chest. “I’ll stay the rest of the week.”
His hand goes out to capture my hair, and he twists it around his hand, pulling until I feel my scalp sting. “Not long enough,” he repeats.
“Ghost.”
“You’re staying until we see what we have.”
My heart slaps against my chest and beats erratically. “Did you not hear anything I said last night?”
“Yep.”
“That’s it? Yep? Are you insane?”
His full lips stretch into a grin. “Quit challenging me, Tiger. You’re making me hard.”
“I … You’re insane.”
