Page 69 of Killer Confections

I tilt her chin up to me. “Relax and enjoy your bath. I’llcreep back in here before you wake up.”

She chuckles, her lips upturning and making my heart go haywire at the sight. “Always breaking in. I guess it isn’t really breaking in since you have your own passcode.”

“It’s like we live together,” I smart.

She shakes her head, but she can’t hide her amusement. “So delusional.”

I smirk before she grabs a handful of the bottom of my mask. “Can I get a kiss goodbye?” Her request sounds sheepish, like she’s embarrassed of sounding needy for me.

I, on the other hand, have a sick delight race through me. Shewantsme. And soon enough, she’ll need me.

“You don’t ask,” I say, voice husky. “You take what you want from me, Loxley. You’re my God, remember? I’m at your mercy.”

Her eyes dart between mine, and she sees the pure conviction in them. She sees the burning passion and desire I feel towards her. She sees the truth in my gaze, and it terrifies her as much as it’s turning her on. Her thighs squeeze under the water as gooseflesh pebbles her skin.

She swallows before shoving my mask up enough to reveal my mouth, but she stops there, leaving the rest of me obscured. Her eyes drift to the delicate tattoo on my throat, her name etched into my skin.

“I still can’t believe you did that,” she whispers as her fingers brush over it, but she doesn’t look displeased. If anything, mixed emotions of amusement and trepidation cross her features. “Tattooing someone’s name is forever…”

I know she’s trying to scold me, but my lips quirk into a devilish smirk. “I know.”

She shakes her head, but her smile reaches her ears as she leans forward and seals our lips in a tender, gentle kiss that leaves the receiver cravingmore. When she pulls back, she pats my cheek and knits her brows. “What do you do anyway?”

I still and a long “Uhhhh” leaves me as I quickly stand. I scrub a hand across my mouth before letting my mask fall backdown with a shrug. “Finance? Yeah, finances.”

She narrows her eyes. “I recall you being very bad at math—”

“You don’t even know who I am,” I waggle a finger at her.

“Yes, I do.”

I cross my arms, “Then say it. Say my name, baby.”

Her lips tug downwards slightly before she huffs and sits back in the tub. She rests an elbow on the table across her as she flips a page. “Get out of my house. Your “finances” are probably waiting.” She gives me sarcastic air quotes before slumping down further.

Is that jealousy I hear in Loxley Bennett’s voice?

I purr at the heat that spreads through my chest. My girl is jealous she isn’t getting all of my time. It gives me such an insane rush of satisfaction that I lean down and crush my lips to her neck, nipping and sucking at the skin.

“Fuck, you’re so perfect,” I groan as I taste her skin. She sucks in a breath, her hand shooting to cradle the back of my head. “So fucking perfect andall mine. You were made for me, baby girl.”

I quickly pull away before I plunge my hand into the water and stretch her tight pussy until she’s ready to be my little cock sleeve. She looks so flushed and lust-drunk that I press one last kiss to her swollen lips.

“I won’t be long,” I promise before pulling away.

She gives me a sleepy goodbye, tucked up nice and cozy with her head resting back and her book drawing her attention as I lock up the apartment behind me. I secure the system before I leave the building.

Dominic’s car is parked in one of the designated parking areas for the complex and he climbs out when he notices me lumbering towards him.

“Hayes’ team is on the move,” he says before taking a long drag of his cigarette. “Rowan is waiting for you back at the compound.”

I slap his back as he hands me his keys. “Thanks forkeeping an eye on Loxley for me tonight,” I say appreciatively as I duck down into his ridiculous orange sports car.

He grunts. “Whatever. Hurry the fuck up so I can go home.”

I wink at him. “I’ll be back before you know it. Keep watch of the perimeter and I’ll keep an eye on the building’s stairwells from my motion sensors.”

He waves me off, already walking toward the back of the building before he disappears from sight on his first patrol.
