Page 56 of Haunted Nights & Savage Sins
All of the more important information was coded and sent that way. I kept all of my father’s replies in the desk upstairs in the east section of the mansion where I was sure no one would find them.
I take a sip of the whiskey sitting on the armrest of the chair. I need it to calm my nerves.
Ash and Brim are curled in front of the fireplace getting some much needed warmth while Ember is settled right at my feet. I never thought to keep them in the house, but now that I see that I have them here, I don’t think I’ll banish them outside when all the construction is over. They can come and go as they please.
I reach down and pat Ember’s head; he lifts up so I can show him some affection.
The light from the flames dances across the room, but it doesn’t hold the same appeal it once did. I’m finding myself spendingless and less time in here. I’m sure that has something to do with Brenna keeping me moving. She brings a life into these walls. No longer is it just the haunted memories of a time long gone.
Of a mother burned alive after she tried to save her son.
Now there’s laughter and sassy back talk. Sexiness and intrigue.
With my thoughts now on Brenna, I stand, ordering Ember, Ash, and Brim to stay put so I can go searching for her.
I don’t hear anyone outside, so I’m assuming the crew must have all packed up and left.
I know they’ll be back first thing in the morning, and I’m not looking forward to it.
As I make my way down the hall searching for Brenna, I hear sounds coming from her room. Just as I put my hand out to open the door, she pulls it open on her own.
My mouth drops open at the very sight of her.
She’s wearing a very very short skirt. It’s fluffy, almost like a tutu but not long enough. She’s got on a sparkly bra-like top. Sparkly high heels. White thigh-high stockings. A crown on top of her head and a plastic-looking wand in her hand.
“Oh, look what we have here.” She purrs as she sees me staring at her.
“Who... what... how... what the hell.” I can’t decide on what to say.
“Well, you’ve been so good at letting me get started with the renovations I just wanted to show you some appreciation. After all, you are turning this old pumpkin into a castle for yourprincess. It’s only right.” She smirks at me, walking sexily closer to me.
This is my prize for enduring the torture of all that noise?
I look her over again. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything as enticing as this. No, that’s wrong. Brenna naked is far more enticing. Still, I’m going to enjoy unwrapping my gift.
No wonder men do so much for women. I’ve never experienced something like this before, but I’m already thinking of different things I can put up with if it means I’ll get more surprises like this.
“So what do you say? Are you ready to hear me say thank you?” She leans up and kisses the side of my mouth, almost sweet-like.
I don’t waste a second more. Wrapping my arm around her waist, I lift her off the ground and toss her over my shoulder as I rush toward my room.
She squeals and laughs.
It’s not a sound I’ll ever grow tired of.
She says she’s the one who needs to show me her appreciation, but she’s got it the wrong way.
I’m the one who needs to be on my hands and knees thanking her.
Thanking her for seeing something more than I could see in myself.
Tonight I’m going to do just that. Thank her, worship her, please her. With my head lodged between her thighs until that pretty slit can’t possibly come anymore.

BRENNA
He’s tryingto make me change my mind.
