A cheeky grin tugs on his lips, and he leans in close to murmur in my ear. “You better be in my bed. I can’t wait to unwrap my present.” He nips the sensitive skin on my neck before soothing it with his tongue.

“Who said you’re getting a present?” I say with a wink. I go to walk away, but he pulls me back to him for an indecentkiss.

“Don’t make me come searching for you,” he says with a squeeze of my ass before he lets me go. He turns back to Lachy, and I blow out a deep breath before heading for Harley’s bedroom. A quick glance over my shoulder as I leave the living room tells me that Kai’s still watching.

TWENTY-NINE

LILY

“ARE YOU AWAKE, Kitten?” The bed dips, and the smell of freshly washed male drifts over me. Harley brushes his lips softly over mine.

“Mm…” I mumble incoherently as I float into consciousness. I don’t know what time it is, but the house is quiet.

I roll towards the warmth of Harley’s body without opening my eyes. He tilts my chin, kissing me lazily, tasting of beer and minty toothpaste. My hands come up to rest on his naked chest.

“It feels so good to have you in my bed,” he murmurs against my lips. His hand runs a trail down my body, and I shiver in anticipation. He cups my pussy over the material and groans. “I’ve been thinking about this all night.”

I can’t stop the snort of laughter that escapes me. I pry open my eyes to find him smirking at me in the low light coming from his desk lamp. “That must have beenawkward,” I say, reaching down to stroke his cock.

My breathing hitches, and I choke out, “What the fuck?”

Harley laughs as I scramble back from him, almost falling off the bed. “You okay there, Kitten?” He arches a brow.

I splutter, my eyes darting between his face and his… “You have a pierced…?”

“Yes, Kitten. I have a pierced cock.”

I swat him on the chest. “Can you please stop laughing at me?”

He grabs my hands and pins them above my head, leaning over me to nuzzle into the crook of my neck. “I’m not laughingatyou; I’m laughing with you.”

I squirm under his hold. “This isn’t funny, Harley.”

He raises his head to look me in the eye. “It is kind of funny.”

“Harley.”

The smirk drops from his lips, and he releases my hands, moving back so I can sit up. I bring my knees up to my chest, resting my chin against them as I blow out a deep breath.

Harley pushes his hair back from his face. “Are you okay?”

“Yes… no… I don’t know.” My heart is racing, and I squeeze my eyes shut. I breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth, trying to stop myself from freaking out.

“Lily,” Harley’s voice has lost all of its playfulness. “Talk to me. I’m… a little confused here.”

“I’m sorry,” I whisper.

He brushes my hair behind my ear, cupping my cheek and stroking my skin with his thumb. “You havenothingto be sorry for. Can you open your eyes and look at me?”

I do as he says, looking up at him through watery eyes.

“Does this have anything to do with your ex?” he asks quietly. “Did he… did he force himself on you?”

I shake my head, and the relief on his face is palpable. “I’m sorry,” I say again. “I’m being an idiot.”

“You’re not an idiot. I just want to know what happened to have you feeling like this.”

“It’s stupid.” I bury my head against my knees, unable to look at him.
