My eyes widened when he returned with his pants fastened and a warm washcloth in his hands. He parted my legs and gently cleaned me.

Apparently, my mouth had a mind of its own and opened without my permission. “Do you do that for all the women you’re with?”What the fuck did I just say?

Giselle Lambert had just ruined casual sex for me. The second my cock slid inside her, I knew there were no other women in my future. Intimacy hadn’t ever been my thing, but it was intense with Giselle, and I loved every moment I was with her. Thinking about Giselle writhing beneath me had my dick twitching again, but I had to get cleaned up before we got caught. We’d just taken a stupid risk, especially with the door partially open. But the way she’d looked at me, I would’ve given her the moon if she’d asked.

Once I’d returned from the bathroom with a warm washcloth to clean her, I glanced up, my brain registering that my action had stunned her. Butherquestion knocked me off guard. I rose, searching for the correct answer, but I knew only the truth would work. I never had relationships after Chelsey. I was a man-whore who worked a dangerous career, and taking the time to wipe up my mess wasn’t on my agenda. Also, I typically wore a condom. I mentally swore. What the fuck had I been thinking? I had just made love to Giselle in Donovan’s house while on the job. I’d put both of us at risk.

I massaged the tense muscles in my neck. “To answer your question, no. I have never cared enough before now to help a lady clean up.” I hurried to the bathroom, not wanting to continue this conversation. All I’d wanted to do was take care of her, but I’d accidentally lowered my guard and revealed my vulnerability. I hadn’t loved anyone since Chelsey, and there were times I never thought I would again ... until Giselle. Once she and her family were safe, then I could tell her. But not yet. I wasn’t ready to let her know that she had the power to break me, and some-fucking-how, I had to remain focused on getting her to safety.

I caught her beautiful smile slipping into place before I closed the door, then took a piss. Flushing the toilet, I cleaned up and located a toothbrush I’d stashed beneath the sink when Donovan had first given me this new duty. After I rinsed my mouth and face and cleaned my cock, I returned to her room for my shirt.

“Thank you.” She rolled onto her side and propped her head on her hand, her attention soaking me in as I dressed.

I offered her a lopsided grin. “No, thank you.” My brow lifted. “It smells like sex in here. If anyone comes up the stairs, our secret is out.” I fastened my slacks and smoothed my polo shirt.

“I can take care of that.” She sat up, then placed her small feet on the plush cream-colored carpet. “I’ll be back.” She gracefully strolled to the bathroom, naked.

I couldn’t peel my eyes away from her toned ass and legs. Giselle was beautiful with her clothes on, but she was stunning without them. The sound of the shower turning on reached me, and I sank into the chair, rubbing my forehead. I needed to talk to Vaughn to see how he and Claire kept it a secret for so long. More than that, how he managed to keep his dick in check so he could work and not want to fuck every minute of the day and night.

Almond and strawberry scented shampoo drifted toward me, cloaking the scent of our time together. My brain began to entertain the ideas of what I wanted to do to her next—her legs over my shoulders, sliding into her slick pussy from behind, watching her suck my cock ...

My cell buzzed in my back pocket, forcing me out of my daydream. I shifted in the chair, then grabbed my phone. Pierce’s text flashed across the screen.

We have a plan.We’ll meet tomorrow.

My attention drifted to the cloud of steam that billowed into Giselle’s bedroom. An intense wave of protectiveness jolted through me before I typed out a quick reply to my boss.

Okay.

Then, I messaged Vaughn, noting it was only ten-thirty that evening.

Need some pointers.

Little grey dots bounced while I waited for his response.

Shit! Did you fuck her?

My nostrils flared with annoyance.

No, asshole. I made love to her.

Even though Vaughn didn’t show his age, on occasion his mouth did. He was the youngest out of the four of us childhood friends, and every once in a while, I wanted to shove my fist into his face for some stupid comment. How the fuck could he be so insensitive? I shook my head as his response popped up.

That’s what I thought. Z-man is in love and in deep. Welcome to the club where you check in with your heart but never leave with it.

My forehead creased in confusion. What the hell was he talking about?

Huh?

You left your heart with Giselle, dude.

I slammed my eyes closed, a smile tugging at the corners of my mouth.

My fingers flew over the keypad.That was cheesy as hell. You can shut the fuck up now.
