My stomach rolled.
“You’re the worst,” I groaned.
She just laughed. That sound shouldn’t make me feel so light.
I gathered my willpower to get up out of the chair, knowing that I should try to start getting ready for my appointment soon. I groaned as my temples throbbed.
“Here,” Kat said. When I turned her way, I saw that she was holding out two red pills in her hand. “It’s ibuprofen.”
“Thanks.” I took the pills dry, but she handed me a bottle of water too. I drained it.
By the time my client arrived, I felt so much better. I would think that Kat was a saint if she wasn’t constantly sending me mixed signals. She was so damn hot and cold, but all I wanted was to fuck her again.
I managed to eat some beef jerky in the afternoon without my stomach rebelling, so I felt damn near normal by the end of the day. I told myself firmly that I wasnotdoing drinking contests anymore.
Either that, or next time, I was going to put more money on the line.
When it was time to leave for the day, Piper left before Kat and I were done cleaning. It was the first time I’d been in this space with her alone since our first kiss. It felt like a lifetime ago, but I couldn’t help thinking about it.Wantingit.
“Kat,” I said, stopping her just as she was about to leave.
“What?” she asked, but when she turned to face me, I could see that her breath had quickened. She knew what I was thinking, and I hoped she was thinking the same thing.
I moved closer to her until only a few feet separated us.
“I have an idea.”
“Oh, really?” she furrowed an eyebrow. “And what’s that?”
“A…chemistry experiment, of sorts.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Sex, Kat,” I stepped closer so that we were almost touching. So close, but not quite there. “I’m talking about taking you to my apartment and spreading you wide.”
She visibly shuddered, but her gaze dropped to the floor. “I told you, Blade. We can’t. Las Balas and Outlaw Souls are—”
“That doesn’t matter. Not if it’s just sex.”
“No strings attached?” she asked with a sexy little smile.
“Exactly,” I agreed.
“Well…as long as we’re in agreement, I don’t see why we couldn’t do that.”
My cock was heavy in my pants, and I desperately wanted to take her right here, but that wasn’t an option.
“Follow me back to my place.”
“Now?” she asked with wide eyes.
“Fuck yeah.”
We started to leave when something else occurred to me. “Wait a minute, if we’re going to do this, I have one condition.”
“What’s that?” she asked suspiciously.
“I get to call you Kitten whenever I want.”
