“Was that alright?” he smirks.
I burst into a relaxing laugh that eases up the tension in the air around us. “Did you not just hear me come? Cause I’m pretty sure your neighbors did.”
He chuckles then says, “I meant, are you okay? That I did that?”
Understanding he’s checking if he didn’t overstep my boundaries, I bite my lip and nod, unable to stop the smile that forces its way on my face. “I’m good.”
He drops a kiss on my forehead and lets himself relax on top of me. Still between my legs, His head rests on my chest and I wonder if he hears my heart skipping a beat.
“Let’s watch something,” he says.
“Really?” I ask, surprised. “Don’t you…want me to give something back? That boner looks painful.” I don’t know if I truly want to.
I feel him shrug against me. “Nah. It’ll go away.” He presses his hand on top of it before grabbing a pillow and covering his crotch. Then he grabs the remote and turns on the TV. “How about someFullmetal Alchemist?”
“Oh, now you’re just trying to turn me on all over again.”
He laughs as he goes through the animes on Netflix. “Which of the brothers gets you all wet?”
“Edward. Of course.”
“You sure?” he teases. “Cause Alphonse looks like your style.”
I slap his chest as I giggle. “No, stop!”
He takes a deep, serious breath and peers up at me from where he’s resting. “That giggle…It does something to me, woman.”
“Are you making fun of me?” I snort.
“I wish I was.”
Time stops, and I run a hand through his hair. “Stop it,” I let out in a whisper. “You’re going to hope for things that are impossible.”
“Impossible doesn’t exist in my world. I get anything I want. And believe me, I want you.”
Now that he’s made me speechless, he puts our anime on to fill the silence. We watch quietly, my hand caressing his hair all along. His head on my chest and his arm wrapped around my leg.
After three or four episodes, he stops it and looks up at me. “Do you wanna eat?”
I can see that he’s scared I will say no and leave. Only the simple truth is…I don’t want to. He would never admit it, but I think Caden was lonely tonight. I’m enjoying his company, and who knows when I’ll ever be able to be this way again with him. So I smile and nod.
“I would like a burger.”
He sits up and raises an eyebrow at me. “Oh, she wants a burger, does she? And who made you queen of our food?”
“Me,” I say proudly, poking his chest playfully.
“Alright, then, if you want a burger. A burger you’re getting. Do you have a favorite place?” He gets his phone out and my eyes widen.
“Delivery services don’t come to the North Shore,” I say as if he hasn’t lived here his entire life.
“Thanks,” he laughs without looking up from his phone. “I know. I’ll just ask one of my guys to pick something up for us and bring it here.”
My mouth falls open. Because I stay silent, he looks back at me.
“What?” he asks, confused.
“How important are you in the Kings’ hierarchy?” His name means a lot, of course. But Caden is not his dad, Sawyer, or even Kay. At the end of the day, no one has any obligation to listen to his orders. I guess everyone just does because they’re terrified of him.
