“An hour? Two?”

I sucked in my bottom lip to hide a chuckle. “Probably longer than that.”

“You’re not leaving me,” he said, his voice stern.

“No, Fender. I’m not leaving you.” This time, I couldn’t hold in a laugh. He was getting way too damn anxious for my liking. Was I really making him feel this way? “I just need to be alone with my thoughts for a while. That’s all.”

“What about Jagger? Is he allowed to be around you?”

“He lives here. I can’t kick him out.”

“But I can.”

I shook my head and cupped either side of his jaw with my hands. “No, you can’t. He’ll spend most of the time at the club anyway. Give me a few days, okay?”

He wasn’t happy with my decision, but if he wanted this to work out, he had to give me the freedom I deserved.

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, then he nodded and pulled me closer to him. I kept my hands on his face and took in every inch of it.

“Can I at least text you while we’re apart?” he asked as he leaned his forehead against mine.

I smiled. “As long as they’re sweet and not dirty.”

“Can’t promise that, baby.”

“You still have my video,” I reminded him, and mischief flashed in his eyes.

“Fuck…you’re torturing me now. You’re really making me jerk off alone instead of giving me a hand?”

Nice word play.

I kissed his lips softly, then leaned back to look at him again. “Only for a few days,” I told him, then he finally gave in and nodded.

“Fine. But I want you to call me the second you don’t want to be alone anymore.”

“I promise.”

He claimed my mouth and kissed me deeply, holding me close to his body as I moved my hands into his hair.

I would miss him too but once I had cleared my mind and figured things out for myself, the bond Fender and I shared would only grow stronger.

Only two hours later, and Fender had already texted to check on me. I was curled up on Jagger’s couch, eating cereal and watching TV, and while I was liking the time I was spending by myself, I couldn’t help but smile when I read his message. I was missing him already.

This place feels fucking empty without you around. Kinda missing the days you kept staring at me from across the room.

I scrunched my nose. He was mocking me, trying to make me feel better. And it was working.

I never stared at you.

Sure did.

How would you know? You always ignored me.

There was a pause and he took his time to respond. I watched the three dots appear and disappear multiple times, then he finally sent the text.

I didn’t ignore you. I was protecting you from myself.
