Even if I did, I’d drag my ass back from hell to get another touch from her.
Chapter 14
Val
I wonder if Ihad told him to strip all the way down if he would have?
Seeing him without his shirt on lit a fire in my belly that a shot of the smoothest tequila doesn’t quench.
How much longer can I toy with him before I make him beg for me?
He’s so quick to please. The heavy-lidded stare he gave me when he fell to the floor left very little to the imagination of just how hungry he is.
Picturing him naked and on his knees is a pleasant distraction from the underlying stress Halloween gives me every year.
It was six years ago today that everything changed for me.
My best friend was brutally killed while my husband was one of the monsters involved.
Yes, it’s much more fun to think about how I want to ravage poor Sawyer.
Make him whine and moan with need.
Watching his white wings twist through the crowd with the subtle confidence of an elite athlete, it makes it hard to breathe seeing other women turn to stare.
Maybe I should have marked him as mine.
Ran my nails over his tanned skin. A giant “V” over the muscles of his back so there would be no doubt who he belongs—
Whew. That makes me step back.
I don’t want ownership. No relationships, that’s a firm rule.
“Can I get another Long Island iced tea?” Sophia saddles up to the bar, her oversized foam hat bouncing with the movement. “And whatever Wade is drinking. He gets all worked up too easily.”
“Oh yea?” I start grabbing the liquor from the shelf. “What’s he all antsy about?”
I can’t see him past her ridiculously large costume.
Not that it matters much, I have shit to do. It’s probably his girl.
She is a spitfire. I’m sure she gives him a run for his money.
“Elena.” Sophia confirms my suspicions.
“Ah. Well, we could all see that coming,” I chuckle. That’s what he gets for hooking up with a criminal.
A flash of white catches my eye as Sawyer races by.
Who am I kidding, I’m always looking for him now.
It’s impossible not to.
But when I see him grab Wade by the arm, and they both take off running. That sends a chill of ice down my spine.
Sophia steps back to her table as Blue leaps off the stage.
“What the hell is going on?” I yell at him, but he pushes through the people too quickly to answer.
