“Hayden,” he began.
“You just called me Hayden.”
“Because this is important, and I want you to hear me.”
“Okay, I’m listening.”
“I’ve got nothing to prove by hooking up with a bunch of women. I’ve been there. I’ve done that.”
“How great for you,” I said snarkily.
“Listen,” he said, not rising to the bait. “I’m not fucking around. I can’t get you out of my head. I can’t go five minutes without thinking about you. I don’t want anyone else. I don’t want to fuck anyone else. So until you’re ready to fuck me, I’ll use my hand and fantasize about you. Okay?”
“Okay.” I was glad he couldn’t see me blush. But I was blushing.

I stood on my toes and sank my fingers into the hair at the nape of his neck. “Bones?”

“I’m now the one holding out.”
“Huh?”
“We’re not crossing that line until you beg me for it.”
I let out a screech of outrage. “Beg you for it? What makes you think I’ll beg you for it?”
“Oh, Duchess.” He shook his head and gave me a wicked grin. “You begged me when I nearly had you splayed out on your dining room table. So I don’t think you’ll beg for it. I know you will.”
“Challenge accepted,” I said loftily, pushing away from his warm embrace. I trailed my hand softly down the front of his shirt to lazily glide against the fly of his jeans. I could feel the straining outline of him. “We’ll see who begs.”
Chapter 21
We headed back to the bonfire, hand in hand.
“Well, she doesn’t look satisfied,” Raze announced.
“So clearly he didn’t have his way with her,” Kelp teased.
“They were only gone a few minutes,” Smoke added. “So that leads me to one of two conclusions. One, he got off in less than?—”
“Fuck you all,” Bones said. He pointed to Smoke. “Especially you.”
“Relax, it’s just pay back,” Smoke said with a grin. “For all the shit you gave me over Logan.”
