Her cell phone rang, and she held my gaze, reaching into her jeans pocket to look at the Caller ID.
It was her twin brother.
“Lexie, where are you?” Aiden said on the other end.
I hated his nickname for her.
It didn’t match Alex at all.
“I’m coming home now, Aid.” She held the phone against her shoulder, rolling her eyes at me. “Be there in a minute.”
She stuffed the phone into her pocket. “I have to go, Damian. Put me down.”
“No.”
I leaned into her, our mouths so close that our lips nearly brushed.
“I drove over here to see you.” I sniffed her hair and drank in her delicious scent. She always smelled like candy. “I need to touch you. Taste you.”
“Oh, God,” she whispered. “Damian.”
I loved it when she said my name in that deep but sultry voice. Only Bash made my cock as hard as she did.
“When was the last time a man made you come?”
I knew the answer, but I wanted her to confirm it.
“I don’t know. I guess when you and Bash touched me in high school.”
“You haven’t been with anyone else?”
“Just you and Bash. And that one time Luca kissed me.”
“Good girl,” I praised, stroking my fingers through her blonde curls. “It will stay that way until we can be together again, understood?”
“Why all the games, Damian?” Alex sighed. “I don’t get it. Why did you leave me? Why haven’t any of you answered my calls, texts, or emails? I haven’t seen you in close to three years. And I got nothing.”
I rested my forehead against hers, reveling in the sensation of her skin against mine. It had been too long since I had touched her. Too fucking long since I held my woman and played with her.
“Do you want the truth?”
I could give this to her, but Luca would be mad that I talked to her.
He could fuck off.
Luca would be the Grand Master of The Devil’s Knights one day, but I was not here on The Devil’s Knights’ business.
This was personal.
Alex nodded. “Please tell me why. I need to know, so I can stop feeling like I did something wrong.”
“Baby, you did nothing wrong.”
I stared at her pretty face, surprised by the name I called her. It sounded good as it rolled off my tongue, but I preferred Pet.
Pet suited her.
She had a thin neck that would look good with my collar on it someday. It would happen eventually. I picked out a diamond choker for her.
