You’re mine.Do you understand me, Ace? Or have I not been making it clear enough?
The butterflies in my stomach flutter around wildly as I stare back at him on the screen, admiring his dark features. God, he’s so handsome. So powerful. And dominant in the best way possible.
“You have,” I answer quietly.
He studies me, and I’m glad I walked down a hallway to get away from all the dancers to have some privacy, because I feel like I’m in trouble right now, and I’m not sure why.
“So, I’ve been making it clear, but you don’t believe me, angel?”
Shit.
“It’s not that I don’t believe you.”
His dark eyes soften, and he shakes his head. “Whoever made you doubt your worth shouldn’t be fucking breathing right now.”
That’s not romantic.
Not romantic at all.
Nope. Nope. Nope.
But it’s so romantic.
“I’m going to tell you again. I want you with me as much as possible. So why don’t you pack a bag to take with you when you go have a girls’ night, and then you can go over to my house to sleep. I’ll join you in bed in the morning.”
He wants me at his house… while he’s not even there.
“Or you could come to my house and climb into bed with me,” I say with a smirk.
Kian’s expression softens. “Doesn’t matter to me, angel. Wherever you are in the morning, I’m showing up there. Just know you’re welcome in my house, so you can soak in the hot tub before you go to sleep. I read it’s good for pain.”
The fact that he’s been reading up on migraines and my injury is so damn thoughtful. Kian is so busy, but he still finds time to research my issues?
“Actually, that sounds kind of nice. Maybe I’ll sneak into your backyard at midnight and go skinny dipping.” I smirk at him through the camera.
Kian’s eyes darken again. “You let anyone else see your naked body and I’ll cut their eyeballs out myself, angel.”
A shiver runs down my spine as heat spreads over my cheeks. “Noted.”
“Besides, you don’t need to sneak in. I already set your birthday as both the door code and the alarm code. Make yourself at home. Leave your scent everywhere for me.”
I can’t help but giggle. He’s so damn possessive, and I love it.
“Got it. Pee everywhere. Anything else, Daddy?” I ask with a grin.
Kian actually laughs and looks up as male voices talk in the background. “I need to go, angel. I’ll be in touch later.”
“Okay. Have fun… Whatever you’re doing.”
He makes a face and then nods. “I’ll try, angel. Be safe and be good.”
Ace: Is your invite for girls’ night still open?
Jordyn: I was hoping you’d change your mind. Come over any time after seven. Wear comfy clothes.
As I finish changinginto my regular clothes, my phone pings, and when I see Kian’s name, I smile.
Kian: Mathius is the driver picking you up. He will be standing at the valet stand and will show you his ID. Do not go with anyone else other than him.
