“Yes, it is.”

“Good. So next time you have an earth-shattering orgasm, instead of touching you lightly or letting you run, I’m just going to hold you really tightly, okay?”

“Okay,” she said hesitantly. He just kept holding her for a long time, then he picked her up, carrying her back to the bed.

He lay on his back and positioned her so she was lying on top of him once more.

Then he wrapped his arms around her, and she started to breathe easier. Her body was finally relaxing.

“You were such a good girl to let me do that. God, you tasted so good. There’s a problem we’ve got now, though.”

Right, the fact that she went cuckoo after coming. She got it.

“Yep. The problem now is that I’m addicted to your taste, which means I’m going to want to do that all the time. We might have to get you a chastity belt or something to keep me off you.”

That was not what she’d expected him to say, and she leaned up, staring down at him incredulously. Her legs fell on either side of his hips, so her pussy was pressed against his lower abs.

She suddenly realized that she hadn’t seen him completely naked, and she really, really wanted to.

“A chastity belt to keep you from putting your mouth on my pussy all the time?”

“To keep me from eating you out all the time.” Then he licked his lips. “Yep, that’s going to be a real problem. I seem to have some impulse control issues when it comes to you and that delicious pussy of yours.”

She smacked both hands down on his chest, giving him an exasperated look. “Harvey, you seriously cannot say stuff like that.”

“I seriously can,” he replied. “And I just did.”

Harvey grabbed hold of her, rolling them both onto their sides so they were facing one another. “Now, it’s time for some sleep. I’m going to go to sleep with the taste of you on my tongue. I’m pretty sure I’ll sleep like the dead. But I want to know that you’re going to sleep first.” He cupped the side of her face with his hands, staring down at her.

She could already feel the fatigue washing through her, and she nodded, her eyes growing heavy.

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure I can sleep now.” She closed her eyes as he brushed his lips over her forehead. “Good girl. Now, do as you’re told and go to sleep.”

Harvey watched her fall asleep, for once doing what she was told without argument.

She was learning.

She’d probably be horrified if he said that to her. He’d tell her tomorrow just for her reaction.

Somehow he’d just known that underneath her blank looks when she’d been with Rick, was someone with some fire and sass, and he was more than pleased to see it coming out of her now.

It meant she felt safe with him, which is exactly how she should feel.

He kept watching her sleep. He was buzzing now, unable to fall asleep himself, despite what he’d said to her.

His phone started ringing, and he rolled over to grab it before it could wake her, although she certainly seemed to be deeply asleep.

Sitting up, he frowned as he saw who was calling and walked out onto the landing, shutting the bedroom door behind him so he wouldn’t disturb her.

“Sam, what is it? What’s going on?” he asked. Sam was currently watching the clinic.

“The doctor left the clinic in a rush about an hour ago,” Sam said. “I followed him back to his house. Then I got curious about what he was doing going home this early, since he hasn’t been going home until two or three in the morning every other day. The curtains were open so I could see him, and he was throwing his clothes around. Looks to me like he’s packing to leave, and I don’t think it’s on holiday, with the way he’s rushing.”

“Fuck, he’s leaving? All right. I’m on my way. Whatever you do, don’t let him leave. Have you called Ronan?”

“Yeah, he’s on his way as well. Paddy too.”
