Forbidden Harmony (Harmony Falls #3) - Elizabeth Kelly Page 0,50

up, you’ll see I’m telling you the truth. No sex for possibly months, Sunshine. Is that what you want?”

“Shoot. No. I guess I won’t be getting my clit pierced any time soon.”

He was instantly jealous. It had barely been twenty-four hours since she’d asked him for lessons. Had she some found someone else already? Was his little schoolteacher fucking some moron who didn’t know how to make her come? How to eat her little pussy until she was screaming with pleasure?

He folded his arms across his broad chest and glared at her. “Who are you fucking?”

“Excuse me?”

He stalked over to her and leaned down as she pressed herself back into the couch cushions. He placed his hands on either side of her head and said, “Who did you find to teach you how to suck dick? To teach you how to fuck properly?”

She flushed bright red and returned his scowl. “That’s none of your darn business, Preacher.”

Her scent and the heat of her body was driving him insane. He had to touch her. He traced her exposed collarbone with the tip of his finger, immediately satisfied when desire flared in her eyes.

“Tell me his name, Sunshine.” As soon as she did, he’d track the guy down and warn him to stay away from Addison unless he wanted a goddamn broken kneecap.

“Obviously, there isn’t anyone yet. It’s been barely a day since I asked you. But I have a few different men I’m considering.”

“No,” he said.

“Yes.”

“You’re not fucking them.”

“Why do you care?” she said. “I offered you the opportunity first and you turned me down flat. So, why do you even care who I have sex with?”

“I’ve changed my mind.”

“I… what? Why?”

“Does it matter? I’ve thought it over and changed my mind about giving you lessons on fucking.”

“Maybe I’ve changed my mind too. Maybe I don’t want your help anymore,” she said.

He leaned closer and licked her bottom lip. She moaned, her mouth parting immediately and he grinned before nipping at her lip. “Liar.”

She licked the spot he nipped and glared at him. “You’re not playing fair.”

“I never do.” He straightened and pulled her to her feet before taking her phone and dropping it into her purse. “Let’s go, Sunshine.”

“Go where?” she said as he led her toward the back of the shop.

“It’s time for lesson one.”

“I don’t want to keep having sex at your shop,” she said. “It seems like it might be a bit unsanitary for your business.”

That made him laugh and she smiled timidly at him. He led her down the hallway and unlocked the door at the end of it before leading her up the narrow staircase. He opened the door and she stared in surprise at his small apartment.

“You live above the shop?”

“Yeah.” He kicked off his boots as she took her heels off and placed them neatly on the mat.

His place was just a bachelor pad with a tiny living room and an even tinier kitchen. There was a TV, a coffee table, a small bookshelf stuffed with books and a loveseat in the living space. His double bed was against the far wall with a nightstand on one side and a dresser on the other and that was it for furniture.

He kept his place clean and tidy, but he was suddenly a little embarrassed by how small it was. Not to mention the seventies décor. The orange shag carpeting that covered the floor was gaudy and ugly, the beige linoleum in the tiny kitchen was chipped and faded, and the avocado green fridge was hideous. But it was furnished and decorated when he bought the shop and he’d never gotten around to updating it. Didn’t seem necessary. No one but Gideon ever saw this place anyway.

This was his sanctuary from the outside world and he never brought the women he fucked here. He either fucked them at whatever grungy place they lived at or took them to a motel. He should be doing the same with Addison, but he was too goddamn horny to wait. He could make an exception just this once.

“I like your place,” Addison said.

“Yeah, right,” he said.

“No, I do,” she said. “It’s small but I like the seventies feel of it.”

She smiled at him before walking to the large window that overlooked main street. He followed her and yanked down the blind. She glanced at him and he shrugged.

“No one needs to know you’re up here.”

“Right,” she said. “I’m sorry. I promised I would be discreet and I’m already breaking
