I shrugged. "I'll be fine."

"The senator wants to speak with you, so I'll show him in."She left me there.

My head was already beginning to feel the buzz of the alcohol when Beau walked in with a sympathetic look on his face. "I have the file," I stated, trying to keep my balance.

"I'd appreciate that. I'd also like the records you took from Mr. Hobbs so that I can prove that you are indeed a free man."

On wobbly legs, I entered the room where I kept Little Hopper and his new buddy, Spot. Reaching into the doghouse, I grabbed the chips that I had taped to the roof a few nights before. Standing unsteadily upright, I handed them both to Beau. "I don't deserve to be free. You can charge me with blackmailing you. I deserve it."

He frowned. "I'm not thrilled that you did it, but I get it. Just so you know, I wouldn't have brushed it under the rug like you assumed. I would have taken your claim very seriously, with or without sex." He sighed. "But I understand why you would think you needed this. I'm not going to press charges."

A tear slid down my face. "But I'm a murderer. I don't deserve to be free. I deserve to be tossed over the wall." I could no longer hold my own weight, so I crumbled to my knees in front of him.

"What do you mean?"

The tears in my eyes made his face a blurry mess. "They're going to kill him! I set it up! I loved him, and I killed him. He gave me everything, and I betrayed him."

Beau's face softened, and he crouched down to my level, placing a hand gently on my shoulder. "You poor boy. He really did a number on you, didn't he?" He got back to his feet. "I brought someone here to see you. Hopefully, he can make you forget for a while. I'm not sure if he is the correct bartender, but he was the hottest one I could find."

My heart felt lighter the moment I saw Vic walk through the door, and I stumbled drunkenly to my feet. He ran to me, lifting me from the ground and pressing his lips to mine. I kissed him back eagerly as tears ran down my face.

"I suppose I got the correct one?" Beau chuckled.

With a giggle, I nodded, running a hand through Vic's soft hair.

"What do we do now?" he asked.

"I suppose we can take a trolly to your place? Shouldn't cost that much."

"Why do you have to leave here?" Beau asked.

I looked at him dumbfounded. "Because this is Trevor's home?"

"You are a resident of Top Hill. This is your home as much as it is his. There is no law saying you can't have company, so there is no reason why your boyfriend can't stay."

I grinned widely and kissed Vic again. "Looks like you're crashing here tonight."

His smile was full of love. "Looks like it."

Chapter 50

"I can't believe how nice this place is," Vic commented as we rode up the elevator to Trevor's room.

I shook my head. Not Trevor's room. My room. This was my place, at least until I got kicked out for not paying rent. No sooner did the doors slide open than Vic had his arms wrapped around me, forcing his tongue into my mouth. I kissed him back eagerly as we stumbled towards the bed. The moment we hit the mattress, we toppled over.

Vic wasted no time pulling the shirt from his body and yanking my pants down to my ankles. His lips slowly brushed my thigh, around my hip, up to my chest, and along my neck. I pulled his face to mine, kissing him as I blindly searched the headboard for the lubricant. When I found the bottle, he took it from me and freed himself from his pants.

Vic bit at my neck as he poured lube onto his hand, sliding a finger inside of me. It pushed past my tight ring and rubbed my prostate with each stroke. His tongue slid down my body, tickling sensitive flesh until his mouth found my cock. Still teasing my hole, he took my shaft deep, and I let out a loud moan of pleasure. My hands gripped his hair as I twitched, and when I felt like I could no longer take the overwhelming sensations, I forced him to look at me. "I need you inside me!"

He grinned, climbing up my body and tossing my legs over his shoulders. Cradling my body under his arms, Vic gently slid me down onto him. My toes curled with every inch.

Pulling back, he snatched my wrists and pinned them above my head. Vic's hazel eyes locked onto mine as he slowly yet forcefully thrust deep.

"Oh yeah, baby, just like that!" I whined.

"I missed you so much," he grunted, pulling me onto his lap.

My fingers traced every muscle of his back as I lifted myself up and down on his shaft.
