Page 53 of Accidental Abduction

“I think you’re the one who’s supposed to beupfor it,“ I teased.

He kicked the door open, and it bounced off the wall with a thud.

“Hey! I’m not paying for that if you dented our wall.”

“I’m the one who fixes that shit anyway. If I want to dent the wall, I’ll dent the fucking wall. About to put a fucking hole in the one behind your headboard next.”

“Too late for dents,” I laughed.

“Yeah, tell me about it. Fucking lucky bastards.”

He tossed me onto the end of my bed before he crossed back to the door, flipping the lock.

“What is that supposed to mean?” I asked, leaning back on my palms.

He stalked toward me, pulling off his shirt and revealing his heavily inked skin. He didn’t stop when he reached me, bracing his hands next to mine, and leaning in close to my face.

“It means I know exactly how you dented your wall.”

“You were serious that you could hear it?”

“Yes,” he whispered, leaning in to kiss me. “This bedroom is directly above my office. It wasn’t just a line when I said you deserved more than the one-night stands you bring up here.”

“I’m sorry. I thought you were just teasing me. If I would have known you actually heard...”

“Honestly don’t give a fuck, we both have pasts that we need to leave there.ButI’ll be the only reason you dent that wall from now on. I may even fix it and then see how much damageIcan do to it.”

“Sounds a little possessive. What if I want to give someone else a shot at it?”

I didn’t, but I also still wasn’t sure if this was more than a fling.

“Don’t fucking test me, Charley. You know you’re mine.”

“No, actually,” I whispered, cupping his jaw, and rubbing my thumb over the scruff on his cheek. “I don’t know. Because we never talked about what comes next.”

“You,” he breathed, pressing forward until I was flat against the mattress. “You’re what comes next.”

“Oh,” I moaned as his teeth scraped down the side of my neck, Hudson nipping at the teeth marks he’d left behind. “But what if you decide it was just temporary? What happens once the novelty of fucking your little sister’s best friend wears off?”

“Don’t bring up Haz while I’m trying to get you naked. But you don’t need to worry about that. You’re all I want in my future. And not just this fucking sinful body,” he whispered, lifting the hem of my tank top, and kissing my stomach, his tongue swirling in my belly button. “I want your smart mouth, and the way you challenge me. Those eyes that cut right through me.”

A moan was my only response as he flicked the button on my jeans open dragging down the zipper with his teeth.

“I want to spend my nights worshiping this pussy, and every morning waking up to your horrible alarms. I can hear those in my office too.”

“Mmm,” I hummed as he peeled off my jeans, taking my thong down with them and blindly throwing them behind him. He leaned in, closing his eyes and inhaling deeply.

“I want to spend all my free time with you. I want to watch you throw unruly frat boys out of my bar when they touch what’s mine. I want to help support you when you need it, and even when you don’t. I want to find a place in here...” His palm covered my heart, and I sniffled, tears cropping up in the corners of my eyes. “And have Reid tattoo my name on your ass or maybe your tits. I haven’t decided yet.”

“Um. No,” I giggled, but the thought didn’t seem so unappealing at the moment.

“We can negotiate that later. Maybe I’ll just get you a necklace with my name on it.”

“What if it wasn’t real?” I choked out, trying not to laugh at the idea of him standing guard and glaring at his best friend while he inked Hudson’s name on my ass.

“I may have lost my shit when you walked out of my bathroom at the cabin,” he started, laying his head across my stomach.

“Just a little,” I whispered, combing my fingers through his hair.
