My shoulders drop at the sight of him. He’s so damn sexy in my bed. Full lips rest gently together, thick dark hair curls right around his ears… Muscles ripple down his arms, his abs… My insides clench at the memory of his cock. I’m pretty sure I know whose horn I was riding, and it was thick and delicious.
“Carmieeee!” Sofia’s voice grows louder, effectively killing my love buzz.
Locked doors did not exist in Valeria’s house. As soon as the girls were old enough to walk, they’d get up every morning at dawn looking for company.
“Give me a minute, Soph!” I jump out of bed, grabbing my discarded clothing and pulling it on.
The sun is only just brightening the horizon, thank God. Everyone was drinking and celebrating last night, and I don’t expect anyone to be awake at this hour—anyone older than four.
“Deacon.” I gently nudge my sleeping Adonis. “Wake up, babe. It’s morning.”
“What?” His blue eyes blink open, and when he sees me, he smiles. “Hey.”
My heart melts, and I lean down to kiss him slow.
The rapid banging on my door starts again.
He hears it and pulls back. “Who’s that?”
“Carmie! You’re missing it!”
My eyes narrow. “That’s a four-year-old child.”
Deacon is out of my bed in a flash. “I forgot to set my alarm.”
He’s in the bathroom pulling on his jeans and tee. I’m sitting on the foot of my bed, my heart breaking at the thought of him leaving me. Returning to my bedroom, he looks my way and pauses.
“Damn, girl.” His eyes are hot as he surveys me, sitting in my short shorts and nearly transparent tee. Crossing the room, he cups my cheeks and kisses me, looking deep into my eyes. “You are so beautiful.”
Could I love this guy more? Sofia starts to whine, and panic tightens my chest. She’s going to wake up the whole house if I don’t let her in, but I’ll be damned if I let her see Deacon here. That girl cannot keep a secret.
I stand, catching his arms and leading him to the window. “This is so risky.” My throat is tight as I watch him throw a leg over the balustrade. “What’s going to happen now?”
His lips press together as he looks out across the yard. “This isn’t how I wanted things to go.”
“I know. I’m sorry—”
“Sh…” He lightly touches my lips. “I told you no more of that.”
“I can’t help it.”
His finger slides to my cheek, moving a curl behind my ear. “I’ve got to go to Harristown and check in with my clients there. I’d wanted to take you with me, see if you liked the town.”
“I want to go…” I’m half listening, half worrying about Sofia’s ongoing noise.
“I’ll only be gone a day, maybe two. Will you be okay here?”
“Oh, sure. As long as I do what I’m told.” Like a child. I’ve got to get my own place.
Deacon’s lips tighten, and he pulls me close, kissing me firmly. “I’ll be back soon, and we’ll work this out. You have the burner phone I got you?”
“I’ve got it.” The box is on my vanity.
“If anything happens, call me. I’ll drop everything and come to you.” His hands are firm on my arms.
“Can I call you now?”
He traces his thumb along my jaw, resting his hand on my shoulder. “We’re going to fix this, Angel. I won’t let you give up your family for me.”
