EPILOGUE – JULES
Icrawl out of bed, stumbling to the bathroom to pee and brush my teeth. I need coffee, right now.
When I drag my achy carcass to the kitchen, I notice an open box of doughnuts and a note next to the coffee machine.
Jules.
If you skip breakfast again, I’m going to string you up at the entrance to the funhouse.
Naked.
During business hours.
Yours,
Elias
I snort. He would never—he’s way too possessive to share me with outsiders. Still, I grab some powdered goodness and bite into it.
Oh my god, so good. I might just cancel my embargo on sugarin the morning.
I make my coffee one-handed while nibbling on the fried dough. The digital display on the microwave lets me know I slept in, but didn’t sleep the whole day away like I sometimes do when Elias is particularly… vigorous.
What happened in the Big Top last night… Shit, I’m getting wet just thinking about it. I’ve become an insatiable hussy.
Shoving the last of the doughnut in my mouth, I open the door with sticky fingers, balancing the coffee in my other hand so the hot liquid doesn’t spill onto my fingers.
“There she is,” Elias hums, his low, content voice making my heart skip a beat.
“Here I am,” I agree as I set the coffee down onto the porch table. He has a weird look in his eyes today. Does he regret anything that happened last night?
“What?” he asks when I keep staring.
“Nothing,” I breathe, getting onto his lap. “Uh, did you want coffee?”
He raises a dark eyebrow. “I’ll just borrow yours.”
I shake my head. “Um, no, you won’t! That’s blasphemy!”
Elias’s shoulders shake with his quiet laughter. “You realize we shared our cum last night, right? Is coffee more sacred?”
“Hell yeah, it is. Especially if it’s mine. Actually…” I tap my fingers against my mouth. “What mine is mine, but what’s yours is also mine.”
He’s still laughing. “Fair enough, Little Sapphire.”
Finally, I press my lips against his, no longer resisting the urge to kiss that handsome grin. When we pull apart, he’s the one searching my face.
“Any regrets?” he asks as if he’s reading my mind.
“None,” I breathe. “You always find a way to give me things I didn’t know I wanted, Elias.”
“And make you beg for it in the end,” he adds with a wink.
I punch his shoulder. “Don’t get too cocky, mister. It’ll be your downfall.”
“You saidMasterwrong,” he corrects me with an infuriating smirk.
I try to pull free of his hold, but he won’t let me, his hands tightening around me.
