“Seriously, don’t mention it. Are you done?” he asks gruffly and stands. I know he probably hated me calling him sweet, so I nod and get to work on cleaning up the place with him.

I follow Wolf back to the bedroom, and can only stare at him as he piles pillows on the right side of the bed and then takes off the shirt and basketball shorts he’d put on. In only his briefs he gets under the comforter then stares back at me with what can only be described as a murderous glance.

“Don’t make it weird.”

I jump a little but look down to get undressed too, then mimic his actions leaving about a foot of space between us. I want tocuddle up next to him but I fear that might be too close to putting my life in danger, so instead I just sit there quietly and wait for him to cue up the first chapter.

“Are we going to fuck again tonight?” I blurt for some insane reason. What is wrong with me?

Wolf turns his head slowly and stares for the longest time. Then he shakes his head once. “No.”

“Why not?”

“You’ve had your ass filled one time. You need to have a real break or you’ll be sore.”

I guess that’s a good enough reason, but maybe... “Can I suck your dick, then?”

“No.”

“Why?” That time it does come out in a whine.

“Because I just want to relax and watch TV, okay?”

“Are you sure it’s not because you don’t want me?” I really should put a muzzle on myself. Since when do I let all my insecurities out like this? I’m a born and bred socialite for Pete’s sake. I’m trained to show no emotion.

“CJ,” he growls. “The thought alone of seeing your lips stretched around my cock could probably get me more than halfway there, but I’m not in the mood to control myself tonight, and believe me you can’t take a face-fucking yet, so don’t fucking push me.”

“Okay, but some other time?” I can’t help but ask.

“Of course,” he agrees, way too easily. That’s suspicious.

I think about the pros and cons of asking a few more clarifying questions, but Wolf starts the show, and that’s the sign from the universe I needed to keep my mouth shut and just enjoy his company.

“You’re absolutely one of those people who hates it whensomeone else talks during a movie or a show, aren’t you?” I ask as I watch Kristen Bell open her eyes.

“I am,” he confirms and sighs heavily.

“Even though you’ve watched this already?” I check.

“Even though,” he confirms.

“Well then, you’re about to be real annoyed.”

A heads-up is the least I can do.

TEN

WOLF

There’sa woman screaming on the other side of the door.

My eyes spring open in panic.

What woman?

Where . . .

I roll over and see only CJ’s naked back. He has a phone to his ear and the woman’s voice is coming from what I guess is a call. Who the fuck is calling him so fucking early? I have an alarm set for seven a.m., so I know it has to be earlier than that.
