you in the ring,” Gray said to Wiley.

Wiley said hi to me on the way to the bench where he grabbed his towel, mopped the sweat from his face as he grabbed his water bottle.

Gray and I stood alone in the far side of the gym. “Someone?”

“Harper’s brother. Said his name was Cam, and he’s in prison.”

“From your tone, it sounds bad.”

I met his steel colored eyes. “Real bad.”

“Then let’s keep it from the cops. I’ll call Quake Baker.”

The man had taken Emory under his protection. He ran a diner on the far side of town, a business legitimate, but I had no doubt he dabbled in less legal endeavors as president of a motorcycle club. I wasn’t going to ask about them, but I’d learned from Gray he’d taken care of the asshole who’d broken into Emory’s house. Quake was a good ally to have, especially with situations like this. He had the same thoughts as me and Gray—no one fucked with anyone’s woman.

“Good.”

“Want back in the ring?” he asked as we walked toward Wiley.

I glanced to Gray, grinned. My roiling anger was obvious, and there was one way to burn some of it off. With my fists, just as I wanted. Wiley would be good competition. “Definitely.”

HARPER

Reed: Do you like Thai food?

Me: Yes. Why?

Reed: I want to know what you like for when we go out.

Me: I never said yes.

Reed: Say yes.

Me: To Thai food?

Reed: To me.

Me: About what?

Reed: I told you before. Everything.

Me: I told you no to phone sex.

Reed: OK. How about texting sex?

Me: I have no idea how to do that.

Reed: What are you wearing?

Me: It’s midnight.

Reed: I didn’t ask what time it was.

Me: A T-shirt and underwear.

Reed: Underwear? Like boxers?

Me: Panties. Like lace.

Reed: Shit. Slip your hand inside those hot-as-fuck lace panties and play with your clit.

Me: I can’t do this.

Reed: What? Come? You came for me before.

Me: No, I can’t do texting sex.

Reed: Why not? It’s more fun than I thought. Touch yourself, princess.

Me: Is it all one-sided with you?

Reed: Sex?

Me: Yes.

Reed: Princess, I have my hand on my dick and pre-cum is dripping from it like a faucet. This is not one sided.

Oh my God. I was in bed reading. I pushed myself up and leaned against the headboard and stared at the texts. Reed may have gotten me off in his lap, and I knew he was into me, but he’d never actually said anything so… sexual to me before. I was imagining Reed sitting in his recliner with his hands down his workout shorts. I imagined him big, thick. Perfect.

Reed: Princess? Did I scare you away?

I blinked then panicked that he worried I was freaking out.

Me: No. I was… thinking about what you said.

Reed: Me rubbing one out while thinking of you?

Me: Yes.

Reed: I want you to come with me. Over your panties like before if you want.

I wanted. God, did I want. I was five thousand miles away from Reed. He couldn’t see me. He couldn’t hear me. He wouldn’t judge. I didn’t think, just dropped the cell on the bed and tugged off my T-shirt, then pushed my undies down my legs and tossed them onto the floor. I settled back into the bed, parted my legs.

Me: OK

Reed: Sorry, I dropped the phone. Fuck, ok.

I smiled and felt… silly. Light. As if I were sharing something secret. This was one of the most intimate things I’d ever done with someone, and yet he wasn’t even here. I began to touch myself in the way I knew would get me off. I didn’t play, just put my three fingers together and rubbed in circles just the right way. My feet slid up, and my knees spread. I cried out into the empty hotel room as I came, harder than I could ever remember. I was sweaty and breathing hard and… happy. I slapped my hand down on the bed searching for the cell, grabbed it up.

Me: Ok

Reed: You came?

Me: Yes

Reed: Shit… kde*d. S ksdfs we2

I stared and tried to figure out what he was saying.

Reed: Fuck, sorry. Can’t type one handed and can’t type shit when I’m coming all over my hand.

Me: Oh

I flushed thinking about him. He’d come because of me. Thinking of me. I’d made him that way. It was powerful. Exhilarating.

Reed: Go to sleep, princess. You need me, I’m here.

REED

“They’re back.” Gray stood before the wall of windows that overlooked the parking lot. His arms were crossed, his gaze serious. He was always serious. The only
