You better watch it, you’re going to be a bride too one day.

Quinn

And???

Quinn

There is only one set of eyes I care about being on me and I know without a doubt they will be.

Me

I mean, where’s the lie?

Sloan

Touché… but he’ll probably be unable to see from all the tears he’ll be shedding.

Quinn

Oh gosh I’m going to cry just thinking about it.

Me

I seriously can’t wait. When do we get to start planning?

Quinn

Lol maybe wait till he asks me first.

Twenty

After living with this man for about a month, I thought I had seen a lot of sexy sights, but this might be my favorite.

Parker lounges on the couch, book in one hand, while his other rests on top of a curled-up Binx lying on his shirtless chest.

“I knew it!” I exclaim, setting down the boba tea I was craving this morning.

He slowly lifts his head to acknowledge my presence. Looking back to my cat, and then up at me, Parker shrugs. “Binx and I have bonded recently.”

“Oh yeah, over what exactly?”

“Well, you, of course,” he says, giving Binx a gentle rub. He just sits there purring, making no moves to come greet me.

Traitor.

“He appreciates me keeping you so busy in my room all the time that he gets your whole bed to himself so it's a win-win relationship.” Parker smirks, and I try holding back my smile, fighting not to give in to his charm. “Actually, Binx even mentioned he thinks you should start sleeping in my bed all night because he really hates when you disturb him in the middle of the night.”

A thrill runs through me at the thought of Parker wanting me in his bed for more than just sex. I try playing it cool as I walk over toward them, scratching behind Binx’s little black ear. “Is that right, Binxy boy? Maybe I’ll give it a try tonight,” I say, then meet Parker’s grey stare, and that’s when I notice the book he’s reading.

“Learning anything new?” I giggle. I have been waiting for him to notice the new reading material I slipped onto his shelf earlier this week.

“Yes, first thing’s first. We need a safe word.”

“That sounds like a doable first task on our Dom/sub journey.” My heart races at what that would mean for us. Could he be considering this as more than temporary, or is he simply playing along?

“So, what will it be?”

I ponder on that, but it comes to me quickly.
