Quinn couldn’t sleep. Lily was tucked up next to him, nestling in close, her hair silky over his chest and her breath warm on his skin. She’d fallen asleep so quickly and he was glad, because she sure as hell fucking needed it.

But apparently his cock wasn’t satisfied and wanted more, and it didn’t give a shit whether she needed sleep or not. As far as it was concerned, it had been waiting for months for this woman and now here she was, in his bed and naked, it wanted as much as it could get.

Fucking thing would have to wait.

Except he ached and his damn veins felt as if they were full of fire instead of blood and lying here next to her wasn’t going to do anything but make him fucking crazy.

So eventually he got up, making sure not to wake her as he tucked the sheet in around her, going out into the living area and picking his jeans up from where he’d shucked them earlier and putting them back on.

It was as he was doing his zipper up that he saw Lily’s phone lying discarded on the floor. Must have fallen out of his pocket. He picked it up, intending to put it on the coffee table where it wouldn’t get stood on, but his finger brushed the screen and it lit up in response.

There was a text notification on it, just one line.

He read it and cursed viciously under his breath. So, that’s why she’d woken up. She’d gotten a text from the prick who was blackmailing her, though what she’d been intending to do as he’d caught her creeping past his couch on her way to the door, he had no idea. Knowing her, probably grabbing a gun and maybe going to find the perpetrator herself.

Except she didn’t know who it was.

Carefully, he placed the phone down on the coffee table and grabbed his laptop. Then he went downstairs to the kitchen, making himself a strong, black coffee before making his way to the bar, sitting himself in one of the booth seats.

He didn’t open up the laptop immediately, staring at the seat opposite him instead, cradling the coffee mug in his hands.

Sleeping with Lily was probably going to end up being a mistake, but he couldn’t bring himself to regret it. Not when she’d made good on her promise to blow his goddamn mind.

And it was blown. With her soft, silky little body and her passion she’d blown it utterly.

Jesus, she was a problem in every way there was. She hooked into something inside him, a place where he was vulnerable and always had been. The need to protect and to care for.

It was a need he’d thought he’d put aside after Charlie, after Rush had gone to jail and Zane had joined the Army. After Deborah had taken Jack away. Then, he’d enlisted and the Navy had taken that need and honed it, controlled it, stripped all the emotion right out of it.
