“Drive for as long as you like. I’ll put more gas in it if I need to.”

I glance over at him, shocked before I focus on the road again. This isn’t the first time that Jovan has surprised me.

I doubt it will be that last.

A few hours later, Jovan is still lounging on my couch and laughing along with a movie we put on while we were eating. He grins as he looks over at me.

It’s hard to comprehend the sight in front of me. There is a man who murders people, sells drugs and guns, and who knows what else just sitting on my couch and watching a movie.

“What are we doing here, Jovan?” I ask as I lean back against the arm of the couch and face him.

He grabs the remote and pauses the movie before twisting to face me. “What do you mean?”

“You’re sitting here in my living room like we’re friends.” I try to phrase my sentences carefully because I don’t want to seem like an ass. “I appreciate everything that you’re doing for me, though you are the one who’s dragging me into it in the first place.”

Jovan chuckles and shrugs. “Well, you might be right about that. You were the one who didn’t want to tuck your tail between your legs and run while you still had the chance.”

“I’m not exactly the kind of person who is willing to back down from a challenge.” I pull my knees to my chest and wrap my arms around them. “I should have run away, though.”

His expression softens slightly as his gaze travels over my body. “Hadley, I wouldn’t involve you if I didn’t think that I could keep you safe.”

“You don’t seem like you want to keep me safe. You taught me how to shoot a gun today, Jovan. That doesn’t exactly scream safe to me.”

“It’s as safe as you’re going to get in a city like Miami.” Jovan grabs my ankle and yanks me across the couch to him.

I fall back into the cushions and he moves to hover over me, one knee between my legs.

“As for what I’m doing here, I happen to like your company, even if you remind me of a coiled cobra sometimes.”

My breath hitches as one of his hands lands on my hip. The other is beside my head, keeping him above me. His face lowers until his lips are brushing against mine. As he kisses me, my heart races.

This is a bad idea. I should tell him to go before we take things too far.

His body presses against mine as we kiss, our tongues tangling. Jovan groans and nips my bottom lip before pulling away slightly. His gaze searches mine for a moment.

I don’t know what he sees there, but whatever it is brings him back in for another kiss.

My fingers weave through his hair as I pull him closer, enjoying the feeling of his body on mine. As his cock presses against me, my core starts to pulse. I moan into the kiss, hooking one leg around his hip.

If this is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Staying away from him is impossible. I may as well lean into the attraction that flows between us and make the most of it.

Jovan rolls his hips and bites my bottom lip as I reach between us. I slide my hands beneath his shirt, feeling his flexing muscles beneath my hands.

“Bedroom,” he says, breaking the kiss and standing up. Fire is burning in his eyes as he reaches out a hand to help me up.

As soon as I’m on my feet, he spins me around with him and pins me against the wall. His mouth trails along my neck, biting and sucking a path that drives me wild. My hands roam his body, my fingers digging into his flesh.

Jovan looks at me with hooded eyes as I pull away from him and get to my knees in front of him. He pulls his shirt over his head and tosses it to the side before taking off the rest of his clothing.

His cock bobs in front of me as his hands pull the elastic out of my hair. My waves cascade around me as I lick his cock from base to tip. He lets out a soft hiss as I take him in my mouth and hollow my cheeks.

“Fuck yes, Hadley. Just like that. You’re such a good girl when you suck my cock.”

I suck him deeper as he pulls my hair back from my face. When he looks at me, I can feel wetness pooling between my legs. I flick my tongue over the head before sliding my mouth down his length as far as I can go. Another hiss leaves him as I graze my teeth along the sensitive skin.

“If you keep doing that, I’m going to come in your mouth.” Jovan rocks his hips in time with my sucking, pushing himself deeper.
