“I’m all in, Lachlan.”

Chapter 20

And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened.

Luke 11:9

“Come back to my new place with me,” I hesitantly ask.

I’m nervous to know whether Lachlan will or not. Tomorrow is Sunday. The holy day that Lachlan presides over Mass to a thousand or more people.

“Goldie girl, do you think I’m done with you tonight?” he answers with a smirk as he continues to clean up the altar space.

I blush in return.

“I hope not,” I reply honestly.

After we’re both dressed and the church is pristine once again, Lachlan takes me out a side entrance, and we make our way to his car.

His car is a black, sleek-looking luxury sedan. Thinking back on it, his home is nicer inside than I expected. I’m not with Lachlan for money; I have plenty of my own. But how does a priest afford this? There is so much I still don’t know about him.

“Just take King Street straight, and I’ll tell you where to turn,” I say.

“Got it, Goldie.”

He winks at me and takes my hand across the console. We’re together. I give his hand a squeeze. Lachlan releases it before settling his hand on my thigh. I could get used to this.

Arriving at my apartment, Lachlan opens my door for me and takes my hand. It’s a small gesture that makes my heart flutter. I take it, linking us together as we walk inside. It’s so easy to get lost in the small moments with him.

I turn on the lights once we get inside my apartment. Now that Lachlan is here, I assess what it must be like from his viewpoint. I’m proud of what I’ve done to the place.

“This is it,” I announce.

Lachlan wraps his arms around my waist and leans his head down to my right shoulder.

“I’m so proud of you, baby. This place is great. It reminds me of you,” he says before gently placing a kiss to my cheek.

My heart swells. I have poured my personality into making this space my own.

“Thank you,” I reply coyly.

“Now, why don’t you lead us to your shower? I know you have lots of fun in it,” he teases.

“I should have never told you about me using my vibrator in there.” I giggle as I lead the way.

“I beg to differ. That was my favorite part of that confession,” he says with a wink.

Inside the bathroom, the heat from the shower spray starts to create a fog quickly. I go to strip out of my clothes when Lachlan stops me.

“Let me take care of you.”

We smile at each other.

“Arms up.”

I do as I’m told. He gently brings my dress over my head first, then removes my bra and panties.

“Avery, have I told you how beautiful you are? I’m a fucking fool if I haven’t tonight.”
