“God, you’re such an asshole.”

“My lady likes me that way.”

“You’re lucky you found her because I don’t think anyone else would have you.”

“Damn right.” He looks at the time. “Well, it was a good talk, but I need to get to PT.”

As he’s scooting out, the phone rings, which is a shock because I can’t remember a time I’ve ever used it.

I pick up the receiver.

Alistair:Hello?

Cole:We need to talk.

Jesus Christ…

Alistair:Right now?

Cole:Tomorrow. First thing.

Chapter8

LET ME TAKE CARE OF YOU

BRITNEY

Maisy and I spent the day hanging out together. Thankfully, she loves the Keep, and I can already tell she’s flourishing.

She enjoys spending time with Eva and even agreed to help with the kids for a few hours each day. It’s like a fog has been lifted, and everything I thought was lost is slowly being found.

The same cannot be said for me.

Despite my joy, my worries are never far from my mind, and now that I’m returning to the apartment I share with Alistair, I can’t help but wonder how the night will go.

Alistair gives me a curt nod as I enter, then returns his attention to the television.

Unexpectedly, I’m jealous of a 70” box hanging from the wall.

To think, for the last few months, I’ve been avoiding sex only to now crave it.

That’s right, I said what I said—crave it!

All I could think about all day, as I was with my sister, was his head between my thighs, making those hungry sounds. I don’t think my cheeks will ever stop flushing.

But he’s a gentleman. So much more so than I gave him credit for.

Now, I’ll be frustrated all night—all week. Longer. For the rest of my life, I’ll always want what I was too stubborn to give.

Yeah, that’s a little dramatic, but I can’t see any way out of the situation I’ve put myself in.

The way his white shirt clings to his muscles no longer makes me roll my eyes like it used to. He’s not the bulkiest man here. That’d probably be Cole, and I’m not into that.

Alistair has more of an athletic build, with long, sinewy muscles I yearn to run my hands over, all the way down to his…

Dare I be so bold? I’ve never seen an actual cock before, outside of the occasional glimpse of one on the television. Would his be big? Too big?

I was too scared to look at him in his boxers last night to know.
