“Of course she is.Skull would never cheat on her.He’s obsessed with her,” he replies, smirking in my direction.“Sound familiar?”

“Cheating is a deal breaker for me,” I admit, and he nods.

“I know.And you don’t have to worry about that with me.I’d never be so fucking stupid to ruin this over some empty pussy.”He leans back in his chair, resting his arm behind mine.“I haven’t even looked at another woman in that way since I first laid my eyes on you.”

“Good,” I mutter.

“You weren’t tempted by any of the men trying to get your attention last night?”he asks, his tone suddenly rougher.

“No, Ghost, I saved myself for you.I’d never cheat.I might be a lot of things, but disloyal is not one of them.”

“What about all those fuckers you read about in your books?”he asks, scowling.

I burst out laughing.“They aren’t real, honey.”

His face softens.He likes me calling him that.Speaking of book boyfriends, I really should tell him about my writing.Considering I haven’t told anyone, not even my best friends, it’s going to be weird sharing that part of me.

“Ghost…”

His phone rings, and he glances at it.“It’s Prez, just give me one minute.”

“Okay.”

“Hello?”he answers, and then his eyes go to me.“All right, I’ll be there in twenty.”He stands up and bends down to kiss my forehead.“Prez needs me.You want to come to the clubhouse or stay here?”

“I’ll stay.I have a lot of stuff to catch up on,” I say, wincing.“And I feel like crap.”

“Okay, sunshine.I’ll come back when I’m finished and bring you some food and drinks.”

Another soft kiss, and then he rides off back to the clubhouse.

I do some cleaning and lesson planning, then get into bed with my laptop to write a few new scenes.

Ghost definitely gave me some inspiration last night.My cheeks heat as I remember how he talked me through it, telling me how sexy I am, taking his big, hard cock.

Smirking to myself, I write a one-chapter sex scene, which only gets me hot and makes me wish Ghost were here.

I don’t want to be that clingy girlfriend.

My sister FaceTimes me, telling me about another hookup, and all the things she’s done and seen since our last conversation.

I love hearing her stories.

She’s an extrovert to my introvert, and I love living vicariously through her.

“I can’t believe you are finally in a relationship.I can’t wait to meet him.”She grins, sounding genuinely happy for me.

And I am happy.

Good things do come to those who wait.

GHOST

Daisy.

It’s always aboutfucking Daisy.

“She needs to be handled,” Prez murmurs, and Skull and Bones both nod.
