“Twins?” Ross didn’t speak for a long time. He seemed to be struggling for words.
“Look,” he said. “I have no plans to move. The mountain’s my home. For better or worse. But as for yourself...I’d pay you enough to go anywhere you want. You wouldn’t need to stay here if you didn’t want to. The kid would be my full responsibility. No hard feelings.”
“What if I didn’t want to leave?” She whispered.
He stared at her. “Then don’t.”
She turned away, her heart climbing up in her throat. “That’s a big decision to make tonight.”
“I understand. You can take your time.” He frowned. “But in the meantime…I’ll be looking into that place. Saturn Heights.”
Hell, thought Angel.Saturn Heights is hell.

THE AUCTION
Angel slept curled up against Ross’s body in spoon-fashion. She had to braid her hair to keep off his face, though he claimed he didn’t mind.
Sun came in through the window, bright and yellow. Angel turned over and looked at Ross. His eyes opened, hazel and yellow in the morning light. The sun beat copper into his hair. His red freckles expanded as he grinned.
“Morning,” he said.
“Good morning.”
“How did you sleep?”
“Like a newborn.”
He pushed a curl off her forehead. “Feeling good?”
“Oh, yeah.”
Ross grunted and tucked her closer.
“Ross,” she said.
“What?”
“Shouldn’t you go check on that lady?”
“I never knew Tina to get up before nine o’ clock. Sweetheart, if you don’t want me to fuck you, you’d better get your ass off my dick.”
Angel turned to him and wriggled closer. They kissed, Ross’s lips soft and salty in the early morning. Ross took his time, savoring her.
“I love your body,” he said. “I love every part of it. I’m glad you’re in my bed.”
“Stop,” she whispered, her heart pounding deliciously fast.
“It’s too early in the morning for lies.” He grinned at her. “You thought about what I said, didn’t you?”
She raised her eyebrows. “While I was sleeping?”
“Of course.” His kisses moved to her neck. He sucked on her.I love that, she thought. Oh, I love that. I love that.
“You thought about it…You’re going to say yes,” he teased. “Say yes…”
“Yes…”
