“I get it,” she tells me. “From what you’ve told me, Joey has been through a lot. He probably needs time.”
“Thank you, Scarlet, I appreciate you doing this.”
“You don’t have to thank me. I feel for him, and I want to help.”
She has no idea how much peace of mind it givesme knowing that someone is checking in. “Will you be at Elliot’s on Saturday?” I ask her. “He said he wants us all there.”
“I have work, but I’ll pop in after,” she promises.
“Good, we can catch up properly then.”
“Yes! I’m dying to get the scoop on Lucy and Miller. Things did not sound good at the café on Monday! Have you spoken to her?”
“Not since our coffee date.” Shit! I forgot about Miller. I’m the worst friend.
I hear keys rattling in the door. “I have to go, your brother is here.” I smile as Mason steps into my apartment, he’s still in his suit and looks just as edible as usual.
“Hmmm.”
“Did you just ‘hmmm’ at him,” Scarlet exclaims.
I chuckle down the phone. “Goodbye, Scarlet.”
Mason’s eyes are heavy and locked on me as I hang up the phone. His hands are relaxed at his sides, and he stands and waits, unmoving as he watches me.
“Hello.” I grin, flipping the phone between my fingers.
“Hi.”
I close the distance between us, not being able to help myself. “How was your day?”
His arms wrap around my back, and I stare up at his handsome face. “It was going great… until you showed up, gave me a raging hard-on and left.”
“Umm, I did no such thing. You need to control your urges.”
“You need to take responsibility for your actions.” His boyish grin makes my stomach flip.
“I didn’t do anything.” Ichuckle.
“You’re doing it right now.” He grinds his hips into me, his cock hard against my stomach. “Where’s my boy?”
“In his bed,” I whisper, loving the feel of his hands on me.
“He’s a good kid. We need more just like him.”
“If I had a penis, it would be getting soft over that comment.”
His head falls back on a laugh, then he says, “You want me to talk dirty to you, angel?”
“Always.” I grin.
His eyes darken within a millisecond. My Mase—my favourite Mase—is here. “Turn around.”
I spin instantly, a giggle falling from my lips.
“She’s obedient. Who’d have thought?” he tsks.
“What are you going to do to me?” I ask innocently.
