As he flips us over and takes a nipple into his mouth, I’m sure that I’m going to regret agreeing to his terms in the morning.

But right now, I’m going to enjoy orgasms from a man who knows exactly what to do with his tongue.

FINN

Fucking hell. I’m stupid.

She’s going to want to end the deal we have and then I’m going to be screwed.

The sun is streaming through the thin curtains and casting a hazy glow over Ava’s naked body when I swing my legs to the side of the bed and sit up, rubbing my hands down my face in a desperate attempt to wake up. Maybe when I do, I’ll realize that last night was a dream, and I didn’t sleep with my brother’s ex.

As I get out of bed, I try not to look at Ava. I know that if I do, I’m going to want to get back in that bed and wake her up only to give her another orgasm.

If I do that, if I get another taste of her, I’m never going to want to leave her bed.

That will only cause more problems for me.

I stumble to the washroom and shut the door behind me.

When the lights come on, they flicker overhead, reminding me of a cheap horror film.

The sooner we get out of here, the better.

After splashing water on my face, I go back into the room and pull on some clothing.

While Ava is still sleeping, I load the guns and my suitcase back into the car. For a few minutes, I stand outside, trying to figure out if I’ve just ruined everything.

I probably did. The same way that I ruin everything else.

I sigh and stare at the wispy clouds drifting across the sky, trying to focus on something other than my mind spiraling out of control.

Even though it was a night that we both agreed to, it feels like the guilt is eating me alive.

Ava said that she wanted nothing to do with me. She said that she was never going to sleep with me, and then we slept together.

She’s going to think that I took advantage of her.

The door to the room opens, and Ava steps out, keys in one hand and her suitcase in the other. She’s dressed in a pair of leggings and a crop top that hug her curves. The swell of her breasts visible thanks to the low neckline sends all the blood in my body rushing straight for my cock.

“I’ll drive today.” I already have the car keys since I used them to unlock it.

My tone is cold, and I do my best to look indifferent as I take her suitcase and load it into the sedan.

“I’m fine driving.” Ava tries to take the keys from me. “I got more than enough sleep last night to be comfortable driving today. You should get more rest. You’ve only been out of prison for a day, and I know you weren’t getting a lot of rest in there.”

Even after last night, she is still acting like she gives a shit. We both know that she shouldn’t. We both know that all I’m going to do is complicate her life.

“I’ll drive.”

I get into the driver’s seat, knowing that if I don’t have something to do with my hands, I won’t be able to keep them off her. Not after last night.

Especially not after she wrapped those full lips around my cock and made my soul feel like it was leaving my body.

Stop thinking about fucking her and start thinking about the job you have to get done. You can’t afford any distractions.

Ava rolls her eyes but rounds the car and gets in the passenger side.
