be late.
Maybe I'd forgo the washing and just spritz a little water to clean it a bit.
Last night had been a revelation. The people that I had seen as the bad guys, the criminals, I hadn't known them. Now they were like real people. And they wanted to help me. It felt like they were pawns in a bigger game too.
Or are you just making excuses?
God, I probably just wanted this to be true. But I knew it in my gut that East was not the bad guy here. So what the hell was going on? If I didn't figure it out quickly, my career would be up in flames. And unfortunately, he might get caught in the crossfire. So I needed to figure it out.
"So, you were just going to get into the shower without me?"
Despite my rambling thoughts, I smiled as a warm male stepped into the shower behind me.
The shower was enormous. It could have fit six people comfortably. There was no need for him to be so close. "You're a little close there, aren't you?"
"Well, I think you need my help washing your back."
I giggled. "My back huh?" His hand slipped over my belly and down between my legs, seeking his favorite plaything. "You know, that's not going to happen."
"What?" He nipped my shoulder and then trailed kisses along my neck. "Are you sure that's not your back?"
"Yep, mm-hmm, yeah, totally sure."
My knees wobbled. He had my number. I was complete jelly for him.
Hell. We’d barely made it out of Ben’s house last night. Strictly speaking, we hadn't really made it out the first time. He dragged me into a closet, pulled down my dress, and sucked on my tits and played with my clit until I'd come all over his fingers.
He was very naughty.
And the thing about that house was that it was so enormous I don't even think anybody noticed we'd been gone or suspected what we were up to. It was weird.
Well, okay, Telly seemed to know. Because she'd looked at him and winked and gave me a big old thumbs-up sign.
Oh, what was I doing?
His fingers stopped, and he nudged the side of my hair. "Hey, I can feel your brain spinning. Just enjoy what's happening, okay?"
"I'm trying, sorry."
"No, don't be sorry. I know this is probably a lot."
"It's hard to have a conversation with you when your fingers are..."
He slid his finger over my clit again. "When my fingers are what?"
"Ah, being naughty. So naughty."
"Well, naughty is my middle name."
"I know. East Naughty Hale."
"Well, I like it. I'm going to change my birth certificate now."
"Are we going to talk about this?"
He nipped my ear. "Yeah, we can talk about this. But how about we make love in the shower first. You go see your dad. And then we can talk about what's happening with us, okay?"
I gasped when he slid a finger inside me. "Oh God." I cleared my throat. "So there's an us."
"Oh yeah, there is absolutely an us. You're in my snare now, Agent Kincade, and I'm not letting you go."
"Jesus, East." My breath caught.
"Yes, Nyla?"
His voice was a whispered chuckle against my skin.
"You're killing me."
"Oh, what a way to go though, right?"
The heel of his palm rubbed against my clit as he fucked me with one finger.
"You know, I was having the best dream about you last night."
"How does it feel?"
"Amazing. Slow. I want more."
"Ah, more of that?" He slid his other hand up over my belly and cupped my breast, gently touching the tip. They felt full. Too full. Achy. And I moaned at the contact. "God, Nyla. How did I not even know it could be like this with you?"
"Oh, I think you knew."
He chuckled. "Oh, you're right. I did know. Which is probably why you've been under my skin since the moment I saw you."
Then another finger joined the previous one, and I gasped. "Oh, boy."
"No, love. I'm a man. You can feel how much."
And I certainly could. The length of him was slapping against the small of my back. "Oh yeah, I can feel that. He wants some attention?"
"Yeah, I think he does."
"Well, you have to let me go so I can turn around and maybe talk to him."
"Nyla, I'm busy."
"You are in fact busy."
I was too close, and I wanted this to last as long as it could. Because once I saw my father and the day got away from me, I might not be able to see him for a bit. "But
