My hand rests over his heart. He’s covered in tattoos, and I want to explore all of them. Some of them look violent, while others look like passages from scriptures. “Do you like hurting people?”

He thinks about it for a long moment, and it worries me that he’s going to say yes.

“I only like hurting people when they've hurt someone who means something to me. Then I enjoy every single second of it. Otherwise, no, it's not my favorite part of the job.”

When I don't say anything, he lowers his face again and presses his lips to mine, giving me a gentler kiss than earlier. “Let's go back to sleep. Come on, lie down and I'll rub your back.”

My bottom lip trembles at the thought of closing my eyes again. Will I have another nightmare? “Will you talk to me while I fall asleep?”

He smiles. “Yes, I will. What would you like me to talk about?”

“I don't know. Tell me your favorite food or animal or color. Just something so I don't have to think about my nightmare.”

He eases me off his lap, then pulls me against his body with my back to his front. “Well, let’s see. My favorite color is scarlet red.”

That makes me smile. “Oh yeah, since when?”

“Since I met you, baby. That will forever be my favorite color. Everything about you is my favorite.”

And suddenly, I don’t think I can stop myself from falling for Killian Lachlan.

I think I already have.

KILLIAN

Having her body pressed up to mine is so perfect. It’s also torture. My cock is so hard, I could split wood with it. Hell, I’m a forty-five year old man and I feel like I’m in high school again with how often I’m sporting an erection lately. I already know sex with Scarlet will be life changing. She’s fiery and passionate but also sweet and soft. Sometimes I don’t know which side of her I’m going to get, but that’s half the fun.

She wiggles her ass against my dick even though I’ve already told her to stop moving.

“Little girl, do you want a red bottom right now? I have no problem waking up Grady and Bash with the sound of you getting a firm spanking.”

The way she immediately freezes makes me chuckle.

“You wouldn’t,” she says.

I stroke her hip. “If I were you, I wouldn’t test me, baby girl. Now, go to sleep.”

She grumbles something about me being a bossy butthead but stays still. Within a few minutes of me rubbing her back, her breathing evens out and turns into soft snoring.

Scarlet is staringat me when I open my eyes. It’s barely light out, and I’m fucking exhausted. I could sleep all day. Especially if she stayed in bed with me.

“Morning,” she whispers.

She’s on her side with one arm tucked under her head and the other on my chest. My cock aches for her, and my heart is pounding. She’s beautiful. Last night was a dream. Even though she didn’t get in the shower with me, it felt intimate and erotic. Watching her come with her shorts still on, hiding her pussy from my view, makes me want her more. I want to peel back her clothes and explore every inch of her.

“Morning.” I reach out and stroke her cheek. “Why are you awake so early?”

“Because you snore.”

“I do not.”

She grins and shrugs. “If you say so.”

“Lying is against the rules. Naughty girl. Why are you really awake?”
