And she’s wearing barely there pajama shorts and a tank top.
My dick instantly goes hard at the sight.
Jesus fucking Christ.
I close my eyes, pinch the bridge of my nose, and count to ten until my dick gets the message and goes down.
Then, I say her name, but she doesn’t rouse.
So, I move closer.
“Speedy,” I say a little louder.
“Mmhmm?”
“Why are you asleep on the floor?”
“Huh?” She blinks open her eyes and looks up at me.
I stare down at her, amused. “Do you not like the bed I gave you to sleep in?”
“Oh. No. I mean, yes, of course I do.” She sits up and rubs her eyes, and the goat is immediately awake. “Gucci wouldn’t settle when I tried to put her to bed. So, I came to lie down with her to get her to sleep. She’s used to sleeping with me. I must have fallen asleep.”
“You let the goat sleep in your bed?”
“Yeah. Of course I do.”
I have nothing. So, I say nothing.
And then my eyes make the mistake of going lower, and, Christ al-fucking-mighty, I can see her nipples through her top.
“Well, you can’t sleep here. Let’s get you to bed.”
I put my hand out to her, but she ignores it.
“If I leave her, she’ll cry.”
“And then she’ll go to sleep when she’s done crying.”
She narrows her eyes at me. “I’m not doing that. That would be cruel.”
“No, it would be called the goat doing as it’s told.”
“Stop being horrible. And she’s not called goat; she’s called Gucci.”
She folds her arms over her tits, and for once, I’m relieved because she’s covering those goddamn nipples up.
“Anyway, how does where I sleep affect you?”
My stare darkens. “It doesn’t. Sleep there for all I care. But, when you wake up, stiff as fuck, don’t come crying to me.”
I make it as far as the door before the guilt hits, and I stop and growl out, “For fuck’s sake! Fine! Take the goddamn goat in your bedroom with you. But, if it wrecks anything—”
“The money comes out of my wages. I got it. You’re the freaking best, Gabe.”
And then do you know what she fucking does?
She presses herself up against my back and wraps her slender arms around my stomach, and she motherfucking hugs me.
