“And that’s a bad thing?” I frown.

“I don’t know,” he sighs. “I just have an uneasy feeling about what he might be doing.”

With that, he sits next to me and leans down for a kiss.

“Did you get enough sleep?” he asks when he pulls back.

“Yeah,” I nod.

This earns me a small smile. Then he brushes his hand over my cheek, the light contact making me shiver. His gaze travels all over my face for a moment until he finally looks at my eyes.

“With Diamond out of the city, and most of his crew locked up, Director Jackson said it’s fine for you to go home,” he says softly. “And back to your job.”

“You don’t sound very happy about that.”

“I’m not.”

“Do you think I’m still going to be in danger?”

“I don’t know,” he sighs. “We hit him pretty hard this morning, but the simple fact that he came after you doesn’t sit well with me.”

“I don’t like it either,” I tell him honestly. “But I can’t hide forever, Ashley.”

“I know,” he nods. “But…would you consider staying with me? At my apartment?”

I can’t help the smile that lights my face at this. His eyes seem to twinkle at the sight. So, I decide to tease him.

“You think just because I love you that I’m going to shack up with you?”

His eyes darken at my words. Then he palms my pussy through the thin sheet and blanket. My legs part immediately, and I roll my hips. He applies just enough pressure to drive me crazy.

“I think that because I love you, and I want to keep you safe, that you’ll stay with me until we can put Diamond away for good,” he rasps.

“And that’s the…only reason,” I purr as I push my pussy into his palm.

“That’s the most important reason,” he growls.

“Give me another reason,” I whisper.

“I don’t need one,” he smirks. “But I’ll play along.”

In a flash, he’s on top of me, his hardening cock pressing against me in the best way. I moan and he starts to dry fuck me.

“Ashley,” I breathe.

“I’m off for the next two days,” he says. “And aside from keeping you as safe as possible, I’d like to memorize every inch of your body. With my hands and my mouth. And I’d like to give you so many orgasms that you won’t be able to walk for a week.”

“Then how would I do my job?” I pant.

“For the next two days, your job is going to be me, Lorna,” he growls.

“I didn’t say yes, yet.”

“You will,” he smirks.

“Confident, aren’t you?”

“I am,” he nods. “I’m confident that in the next couple minutes, you’re going to agree to stay with me…and you’re going to come.”
