Loch does. He gets the same orders from our boss, while I give Mutt a good-morning pet, scratching behind his ears before filling his water bowl.
When Loch’s done, he looks at me, grinning. “Let’s go home.”
“Home?” Butterflies tickle my belly. “Me and you? Together?”
He crawls out of bed, stalking my way with his cock hanging way too long in those sweatpants. “This is us, happening, Alena. There’s something between us, and we’re taking a chance together. Right? You’ll give me one?”
Why do I suspect I’ll give him a hundred chances and my life?
I grin, quipping, “Do I answer like your sub or your girlfriend?”
Shit!I wince. Me and my awkward mouth sometimes.Men freak out at that word, right? Why did I blurt it? Too many romcoms, I fear.
But he grins, unfazed. “Yes, and yes.”
Yes? Really?
“But how does it work? Any of it?” I whisper. “I’m new at this.”
He won’t stop grinning like he’s found hidden treasure, lingering his fingers on my cheek. “I’m going home with my newgirlfriend. I have a friend in Charleston who lets me and Mutt crash at his place, and today, I’ll visit my mom, and you’ll visit your dad; tell him what a badass you are. And tomorrow? I’ll take you on a date. We’ll play in the sand at Botany Bay.That’show we’ll work.”
That’s one of my favorite places. How did he know?
It sounds too good to be true. “But we gotta drive separate trucks,” I insist. “If we’re busted on a road trip together, the guys at work?—”
“We got this.” His lips seek mine. “I’ll secretly stalk you wherever you go.”
CHAPTER TWELVE
LOCH
DirtTGirl.
Holy shit, it’s Alena!
I auto-save my video call chats, but I don’t need to search my files to know her anywhere. Her dirty talk. Her fantasies. They’re seared into my soul. They shove me over the edge. I lose control for @DirtTGirl, and it’s…
Alena?
She’s so innocent, awkward, and sweet—and yet—she’snot.
Knowing her sexy secret, what it does to me. I’m half-flattered.
No, dumbfounded by Fate. You mean I’ve been with Alena online for three years?
But half of me is jealous. Of myself? Of @LuvPounder and his power over her? The dirty things he’s made her do, and she got off sending me videos? The banana in the dressing room last year?
How the fuck is this possible?
So, now what?
Alena wants @LuvPounderandme?
She’s been with him and is so damn loyal; does she love him? Can you love a faceless dick?
But now she’s found me, Loch. She knows we’re special, and so she’ll dump him?
Should I tell her I want to be exclusive? That’s the way I’m wired. Will that freak her out?
