mine and he kisses me. I moan into his mouth and slide my hands up his chest, winding my arms around his neck. I pull him close and he shifts a little as he moves us. When he pulls his mouth back we’re on the sofa with me straddling him and I have no idea how we got there. “We need to talk.”
“Ahh.” That’s never good. “Maybe later?”
I laugh again, because who wants to talk when we could go back to what we were doing? He grips my hip and brings me back down onto him.
“Careful.” I repeat the word he said before we started kissing because we have a tendency to get sidetracked.
“Yes, the call was about people trying to hurt our family.”
I lift my hand, putting it over his mouth. “Is everyone safe right now?” He nods. “Then I don’t want to know.”
He takes my hand away and narrows his eyes like I’m crazy. “You don’t want to know what is going on?”
“Nope.” I hop up from his lap and I think I only get free because he’s shocked at my response. I always want to know everything that’s going on. “Has anything really changed?” I grab my bag and make sure I have everything I need. I’ll have to drop off a few of these books the professor loaned to me because I couldn't afford to buy them.
“I’d like to move us,” he says, and I look over at him.
“To where, a hotel?” I close my bag as he nods. He’s watching my every move. Vaughn plays it cool but the man never misses a thing. “I bet it’s a fancy hotel.”
“They have better security,” he confirms.
“With room service and giant bathtubs,” I add. “I’m not going to argue with you on staying in a fancy hotel for the night,” I laugh.
“Why do you need room service? I cook for you.” He points toward the kitchen, looking offended, and I laugh harder.
“I’m sure your cooking is better than room service, but it’s still cool to get to order it.” I’m not used to his luxurious lifestyle and I’m more than happy to indulge.
“Come here,” he demands, and my body complies without even checking with me first.
A week ago I would have laughed at him for trying to order me around. Now, my body is so attuned to his commands. I’m pretty sure it will do anything he wants because all Vaughn does is give me pleasure. He feeds me and rubs my shoulders while I study, and then he makes me buzz with the best orgasms of my life. So yeah, when he tells me to come I always do.
I drop down into his lap not so gracefully and harder than I need to. I’m still a little miffed at being bossed around, but I’m here nonetheless.
“I know I told you to stay out of that head about this.” His hand comes up to cup my face. “But we’re going to a hotel tonight then back to the island after your last exam.”
“I know.” That’s been the plan, but what happens when everything settles? “I said from the beginning I’d come back. I promised my sister,” I remind him.
“Yeah, I know, but you’re coming back with me.” He punctuates the word “me.” “Staying with me.”
I lick my lips as I lean into him. “There’s nowhere else I’d rather be,” I admit, and it’s the truth.
“Good, because you don’t have much of an option.” There’s that smirk I’ve grown to love and I narrow my eyes on him.
“You better watch it,” I warn playfully.
“Trust me, sweet thing. I’m always watching it when it comes to you.”
Chapter Nine
Vaughn
She’s on her final exam of the day and only has tomorrow before she’s finished. God, I’ll be glad when this is over, and I’m not the one having to worry about taking a test on top of the stress. I’ve been checking in with security while I had her flat cleared out and the boxes sent to the island. Most of the furniture is staying and she only has one or two suitcases that need to stay until tomorrow.
I plan on getting her the hell out of here the second she puts her pencil down on the final test. Everything is putting me on edge lately and I’m tired of worrying about shadows.
“That’s the last of it,” I say to the head of security as I hand over the key to her flat.
He nods and adds it to the envelope with
