“Baby, you’ve always been my good girl.” He kisses one cheek. “From the moment I first saw you.” Then the other. “From the first night I watched you sleep, hands tucked beneathyour chin, so fucking vulnerable yet strong.” He thumbs my mouth, tugging the bottom lip down. “You can do no wrong, Vanessa. Never in my eyes.”

“I look forward to testing that notion.”

He sighs as though awe-struck. “What are you telling me, pretty girl?”

“I’m telling you…” I draw a deep breath, noting the feel of his arousal pressing against me. “That when we get home, I hope you plan to keep up what you started.”

He smirks, fingertips tracing the shape of my brow.

“That I want to know you’re always there, Chaos. That whenever I need you, I don’t need to look far.”

“I’ll always be where you need me, babe.”

“Promise?” I breathe the word.

He nods. “If I break my word, I break my heart, Ness. I ain’t fucking around.” He searches my gaze before adding, “You’re all there is for me. End game, baby.”

End game.

“Where did you come from?” I whisper.

This absolute paradox. This midnight promise.

The physical embodiment of unconditional love.

“Your wildest dreams.” He grins.

It’s infectious. I burst into a fit of giggles, knocking his chest as best I can with my fists when he’s this close. “You clown.”

“Your clown, baby.” He rears back, hoisting me beneath the hips to toss me further up the bed. “Want to know something else that’s funny?”

“Sure.” I can’t help but match his smile. “Lay it on me.”

“Despite the stunt I pulled putting these in your house,” he thumbs to the device on the table. “I’ve never fucked anyone on camera.”

“Chaos,” I say. “I think most people haven’t fucked on camera.”

“Yeah.” He thumbs his chin. “But we ain’t most people, are we?”

“What are you saying?” My nipples pebble, blood rushing to my clit at the sheer thought of what he proposes.

“I’m saying.” He leans across to angle the camera better. “This moment is too precious not to keep a record of.” Chaos removes his cut, hanging it in the closet before shedding his T-shirt. “I want to be able to look back at what happens next and remember how fucking good it felt to celebrate your freedom by doing whatever the fuck we wanted.” His hands trace from his pecs to his stomach, asshole well aware of what the sight does to me. “How we want.”

“You just want your own personal porno.” I lift an eyebrow in challenge.

“Why not?” He shrugs. “Hottest shit I ever seen is right here, right now. Right in front of me.”

“I want it too.” My legs tremble as he approaches.

Chaos nods to the camera. “If you ever change your mind, I delete it. No questions asked.”

“You talk as though I’m not going to fuck myself to the vision later and then send you the evidence.”

He hisses a breath between his teeth. “Fuck, baby. You promise?”

“I ain’t fucking around.”

He leans forward and tucks his fingers in the waist of my jeans, jerking me toward him. I squeal, bouncing on the bed as he removes my clothing.
