Her heart thundering like when she held on to me on the back of the bike.

Fuck.

I’m getting hard already.

My cock seems to have a mind of its own whenever Violet’s involved.

I adjust my erection and grab her Kindle from the top of the coffee table. All her physical books are some self-help nonsense and human sciences garbage.

So I expect her Kindle to reflect that.

Wrong.

My brows arch when I find what seems to be romance books with skulls, snakes, or men on the covers.

Hmm.

I take a picture of what’s in there, especially the ones she has in a ‘Favorite’ folder, so I can do better research.

I’m about to open one of the books when my phone dings.

Kane

What the hell is this, Callahan?

Attached is a picture of me kissing Violet.

I save it.

Preston

It’s called kissing? Something you do a lot of with Daphne, remember?

Kane

You stay out of it.

Preston

No can do. I’m Jude’s defender for life, and I like Vee.

Me

Her name is Violet.

Preston

Nah, too long. She’s so adorable, BTW! Had lunch with her earlier, and she gave me her drink and even shared her food. I want her.

You’ll want your fucking grim reaper when I’m done with you, Pres.

Preston

Jeez. I was just saying. Figuratively. Unless, it becomes literally. You never know.

Fuck around and find out.

Preston
