“Is this Krystal?” I growl, growing angrier.
“You better be on the lookout because I’m coming for who you love, so you’ll know exactly how I felt when I lost Chad. You got that, Archer Boone?”
Before I can respond, the call ends.
What the fuck?Now I’m pissed.
I’m undoubtedly convinced she’s the one who’s been following us. Krystal could’ve put together how close Everleigh and I are by watching us, but her threats could also be referring to Annie.
How the hell am I supposed to protect my sister from miles away while keeping Everleigh and myself safe?
I contemplate telling Everleigh, but emotions are already so high that I decide against it. She’s constantly looking over her shoulder, and the last thing she needs is to be paranoid about a crazy chick who’s seeking revenge. Even though she’s convinced the SUV is following her, I have a feeling Krystal hired some PI to keep an eye on me. Could’ve been who was peeping outside of Everleigh’s window that night as well. The thought drives me mad.
The only solution I have is telling Tyler the truth about the Escalade and Krystal, and then move. The longer I stay, the more I put Everleigh at risk. If she wants to throw me a birthday party, then I’ll wait until after. One last goodbye, then I’ll walk away for her sake.
After hours of my thoughts getting the best of me, I call it a night. As I lay in bed, without Everleigh clinging to me, I wonder if I’m capable of leaving. A part of me thinks I should, sooner rather than later, and then another part doesn’t want Krystal to win. If she found me here, who’s to say she wouldn’t if I were somewhere else? I can’t live my life in fear.
Just as I’m about to get up and haul Everleigh’s stubborn ass in here, my door opens, and she tiptoes inside. I hold back a smirk, knowing that no matter how pissed she is, she’ll always come lie with me.
Instead of crawling over me like usual, she stays as far as possible on the opposite side of the mattress. Then she turns and faces the other direction.
Fuck that.
I roll over, slide my arm under her body, and pull our bodies together until we’re spooning. When she doesn’t fight against me, I brush my other hand over her stomach and find her bare skin. She’s wearing one of her skimpy crop tops that she knows I fucking love.
“Don’t hate me,” I whisper against her ear. “I’m just really trying to do the right thing.”
Without replying, she grabs my hand and lowers it over her panties. Of course, she’s not wearing bottoms either. I groan, unable to contain my erection.
“Everleigh, don’t test me…please. I’m begging,” I say desperately.
Instead of retreating, she pushes my hand over her wetness. My finger circles over her clit, and she releases a harsh breath. Goddamn, this woman is gonna be my undoing.
“Don’t stop,I’m begging,” she throws my words back.
How can I deny her or say no when this is what we both want? What I’ve craved for so many weeks?
And how the hell am I going to stop before this gets out of hand?
“This can only happen tonight, you understand?” I say firmly before pulling her earlobe between my teeth.
“I’ll agree to anything as long as you touch me, Archer.”
Giving Everleigh the pleasure she so desperately wants, I dip my hand inside her panties.
“You’re so fucking wet,” I growl.
“You do that to me,” she admits. “Yes, more of that…”
I rub her eager bud as my own body ignites, but I ignore it. Tonight’s about her. If I let her anywhere near my dick, I won’t be able to stop her.
“You’re so needy,” I whisper, then glide down her slit. “You want my fingers inside you?”
“God, yes.” She widens her thighs enough to allow me to push two in.
“So tight and wet for me, baby. Goddamn, Everleigh.”
“I need more of you,” she mutters as she arches her back.
