CHAPTER 16

EASTON

“Be careful. Let me know when you get to the hotel.” I placed a kiss on Lincoln’s lips before he could respond.

He rolled his eyes, much like Trevor did when Brax was being overprotective. Instead of the exasperated Yes, Daddy Trevor would have given, though, the corner of Lincoln’s lip twitched with amusement and his voice came out breathy. “Yes, Sir.”

The way he wiggled in the plush leather seat of his SUV, I knew he was remembering the spanking I’d given him that morning. It had taken me way too long to realize he was antsy about the owners’ meeting he was heading to. Over the last week and a half, we hadn’t really defined our relationship. We were both moving forward slowly, trying to figure out where we were.

For my part, I still held hurt and confusion and my heart was leery of opening up again. Was Lincoln going to decide this job was too much and leave me again? Would he decide the risks were too great and ghost me? Not knowing was scary. While I hated watching him walk out of the car and toward the airport knowing I wouldn’t see him for the rest of the week, part of me was relieved to have some space to start working through my thoughts.

Of course, when Lincoln turned around at the door and gave me a bashful wave, all my plans to take the week to examine my feelings were forgotten. I waved back, wishing like hell he didn’t have to leave. So maybe I’d already worked through more than I’d given myself credit for.

“This is good for you,” I said into the empty car as I drove it back to my place. The radio’s traffic report was in the middle of informing Nashville of yet another traffic snarl downtown and I was thankful I would be missing it all by heading to my house.

Three hours later I was going out of my mind with boredom and Lincoln was still in the air. My eyes fell on the little white bag that had been sitting in my room since the week before and it gave me an idea. Foregoing my phone, I jumped up from the couch and grabbed my laptop off the desk in my office, then returned to the living room to settle back into my spot on the couch. I tried to remember why I’d insisted on the front room being an office when Trevor had told me it would be a perfect playroom for him. I’d sat at the desk precisely one time, every other time choosing the couch over the desk chair.

With the browser pulled up, I stared at the blinking cursor as I tried to figure out what to type to find the book Lincoln had read. Every search term I thought of returned so many results there was no way I’d be able to figure it out. Fifteen minutes into the search, I decided I needed a change of scenery and headed out back to sit by the pool.
