I tried to keep track of the time as best I could. In less than twelve minutes, I was sparkling clean, and my hair was even dried. I went out into the bedroom and caught the biker pacing near the wall of windows.

He did a double-take and checked his watch. “Twelve minutes.”

I knew it!“Yes, I’m fast like that.”

He inspected me from afar. “The clothes fit?”

I crossed my arms over my chest when his gaze dropped to my tits. “Yes, everything except the bras. They were too small. I’m a C-cup, not A.” I twisted my lips, feeling self-conscious. My nipples were cold and erect.

He went to his dresser and took out a sweatshirt. “If you’re cold.” He handed it to me.

“I am, thanks.” I checked out the room some more and wondered… “Do you live alone?”

“No.”

“Have a wife and kids?” Stupid. I should’ve asked that question before I sucked him off. Then again, if he was married, he shouldn’t have let me give him a BJ.

He narrowed his gray eyes. “No.”

“Phew, that’s a relief.” I sat on the edge of his bed and put on the sweatshirt.

“Why is it a relief?”

“Because cheating on someone is despicable. I won’t be the other woman.”

He looked at me funny.

“I don’t mean we’re going to have an affair or anything. I just, well… I’m just saying.” I lifted my gaze to the ceiling.

“Do you want anything to eat before I take you to your room?” he asked. “

“You mean my cell.” I rubbed my wrist and bounced on his pillow-top mattress. “I’d rather sleep here. I mean, not with you, just—” Jeez, shut up already. “You said you weren’t married. Or do you have a girlfriend?”

“No. And no, you’re not sleeping in my bed.”

“I had to try.” I shrugged and got to my feet. “Do you have an extra pillow and blanket? Or is that asking too much? I mean, I didn’t directly offend you and not pay you back. That was Roland. Perhaps a hand job would earn me a little more comfort?”

“Stop talking,” he growled. “Fuck, you just keep going on and on.” He snatched a pillow and the comforter off his bed. “Let’s go.”

I felt victorious. Like a new woman, honestly. Oh, the wonders of a hot shower, fresh clothes, and making a man give in to me. It was magnificent.

Bone

Destiny surprised me. Her resilience and acceptance of her situation blew my mind. The time I spent with her, which was far more than I should have, I warmed up to her. Hell, I kind of liked her.

This was why I needed to stay away from her, but I didn’t think I could fight the draw to her.

She rifled through her big purse, probably making sure everything was still there. She didn’t need to worry. I had no use for her things. “I really appreciate you giving me my stuff back.” She smiled and removed the folded magazine pages. “You saw these, didn’t you?”

I nodded from the metal chair. She looked cute, wrapped in my white down comforter. Like she was on a fluffy cloud. The temperature had dropped the past couple of days, so I was glad I’d given her the extra blanket. Of course, it wasn’t lost on me that she had pushed my buttons, and I had bent to her will.

“I’m sure you’d think it’s silly, but all the walls in my bedroom were covered with my favorite pictures of places I wanted to visit, foods I wanted to learn to cook and devour, handsome men.” She wiggled her eyebrows and smiled wider.

“I don’t think it sounds silly. You do you, as my baby sister would say.”

“Aww, how old is she?”
