If he did this for me, I’d owe him one, and in this life…
That meant everything.
CHAPTER
FOURTEEN
LUKE
I had to leave Friday morning for a meeting with a supplier, and I didn’t get back until Sunday evening. By the time I lay down in my bed, it was two in the morning, and I was beyond exhausted from the weekend festivities.
A text message came through on my cell phone from an unknown number.
Unknown number
Do you make it a habit of kissing girls and then going MIA?
I chuckled, leaning against my headrest.
Luke
Who’s stalking who now?
Duchess
I like to give the same energy I receive.
Luke
If that were true, you’d already be in my bed.
Duchess
What are you wearing?
Luke
Gym shorts and a smile. What are you wearing?
Duchess
I’m naked and wet.
I jerked back, not expecting her to reply with that.
Luke
What can I do to help?
Duchess
I’d love for someone to wash my hair.
I laughed, realizing she must have been in the bathtub.
Luke
Are we talking about the drapes or the carpet?
