her, I’ll kill you. Or worse, I’ll publish the pictures I still have of your tiny dick on every website from here to Timbuktu. You’ll never live that down. I’ve got your face in some of them, darlin’.”
Without another word but feeling somewhat vindicated at the horrified expression on his face, I spun around and stormed away from the douchebag. Come what may, I had the truth on my side.
That had to count for something.
Chapter 23
CHRIS
Dinner with April earlier this week had been good. It had been nice to get to spend some time with her alone. As much as I knew Adi was a part of the package if our relationship was to get serious and as much as I truly enjoyed getting to know the little girl, building a relationship with April meant wanting and having to spend time with her sometimes too.
Almost a week had passed since our dinner date, and I still caught myself grinning every so often at some of the jokes she’d made. When I’d arrived at her place, I’d still been worried about Craig having come to the hospital and what he might be planning.
April had waved my concerns off and told me she had it under control. I couldn’t get it out of her how she had it under control but she’d assured me everything would be fine. We’d done some talking about him and how shitty he’d been to her, but eventually, we’d decided to stop wasting our time on him.
What followed had been a discovery of April in a different light to how I’d seen her before. I’d caught glimpses of her lighter, more carefree side, but I’d finally gotten a chance to experience it when it was her being that comfortable with only me.
As I lay in my bed on Friday morning with the sun barely peeking over the horizon, I let my mind wander to what had happened after dinner. April and I had a few drinks and had ended up necking on her couch, which had quickly turned to heavy petting but nothing more.
Fooling around without taking that final step was underrated, if anyone asked me. It didn’t always have to be about the rush to the finish line. Just thinking about her moans and her sighs as she straddled me while grinding against my cock was making me hard all over again.
I ran my hand down the length of my torso and got comfortable on the bed, about to reach into my underwear when my phone buzzed. With a frustrated sigh, I flipped over onto my side to check the caller ID.
Hunter’s name flashed on my screen, and the phone stopped buzzing only to start again. Fuck.
“What?” I snapped when I answered.
He chuckled. “Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Jesus.”
I shoved my hand through my hair and rolled onto my back again, sending a piercing glare at the white ceiling above my head. “What do you want?”
“For you to meet me at the corner of Crescent and Cliff in an hour. No questions asked. Just come.”
“Fine. I’ll meet you there.” I would’ve said pretty much anything to get him off the phone as soon as possible, but Hunter and I had a no questions asked policy. Which meant I had to be there.
But I had an hour.
My mind kept conjuring up images of April with her lips parted and her eyes half-lidded, her skirt ridden up and her head dropped back. It wouldn’t take me long at all.
Hunter thankfully hung up after I agreed to meet him, and I got down to business before getting up to take a shower. I ended up getting to the address he’d sent me exactly one minute late and found him standing in front of an abandoned warehouse.
It was in an up-and-coming district with tons of warehouses just like this one that had been renovated already and tons more just waiting for someone to restore them. Hunter grinned when I approached him, spreading his arms wide open as he turned in a slow circle.
“What do you think?” he asked.
I pulled my sunglasses off and dipped my head back to survey the wrecked building in front of me. The windows were blown out, the small garden overgrown, and there was probably an entire short story’s worth of graffiti on the walls, but it looked structurally sound at least.
“I like the neighborhood and I think the building could be a real investment once it’s fixed up. You looking
