Page 125 of Her Wicked Plan

Going straight to Heaven because that is what Veronica is.

She is Heaven.

My vision clears, and our breathing falters as we return from our trip to paradise. Leaning myself back, I find sleepy eyes staring up at me. Behind the belt, I can see a satisfied grin on her face. I pull out of her slowly; her arousal is dripping off of me. Swallowing hard at the image, I search for a towel to clean us up.

After cleaning both of us off, I toss the towel into a bin and then pick up a pair of scissors to cut her hands free of the zip tie. A red ring is paired with an indent on her skin from the plastic digging into it.

Next, I undo the belt, freeing her mouth to find her delicate skin reddened and it has drool escaping the corner of her mouth. She wipes her face clean with the sleeve of her cardigan, watching me put her underwear and pants on.

“I think I’m okay with you not sharing me.”

“Yeah?” I glance at her as I kneel on the ground before her.

“Mhm.”

“Good.” I stand up, placing a tender kiss on her lips. “I’m going to leave first. Count to 100, then go straight back to your room. You need rest.”

Sleepily, she says, “Yes, sir.”

I smirk, planting another kiss before I open the closet door. Peaking out to ensure the coast is clear, I slip out the small sliver of the open door. When it securely shuts behind me, I clear my throat and head down the hall.

It doesn’t take long to get back to my office, where, to my surprise, Myles is still waiting. When I enter and close this door, he whips around in his chair.

“Where the hell have you been?” he questions. “And where is Veronica?”

I don’t miss how he tries to peer behind me in case she hides. “She isn’t coming.”

“Why not?”

I sit in my chair, head falling against the back as I stare at him. “Because I’m not sharing.”

He rolls his jaw, clearly upset with my decision. He’ll get over it. “Guess I can’t get mad knowing you just got off.”

“How the hell do you know that?”

“Hmm, I don’t know. Maybe because I’m your best friend, and I can tell when you just had sex.”

“That’s not creepy at all.”

“I know she’s most likely clean and whatnot, but you still wore a condom, right?” His question makes my brows furrow. “Unless, for some reason, they provide birth control in this place.”

My confused eyebrows shoot up. “Shit.”

“Okay, at least tell me you didn’t come inside of her.” I don’t make eye contact with him. “Leo...”

“It’s fine.”

Myles shakes his head. “Whatever you say, I know you want to keep this a secret, but what if she becomes pregnant? How is she going to explain that?”

He’s right.

Fuck.

CHAPTER 34

Veronica

Another morning lying in bed with my journal open, struggling to write a single word. All of these thoughts running around my head, yet nothing will transmit from my brain down to my fingers.
