Chapter 9

The next morning, Maddox awoke with a jolt. Fully aware that something was different, he snapped his eyes open and turned his head on the pillow. Joss lay next to him, snoring softly. The sun beamed through the window, casting a warm glow onto her bare thigh sticking out of the dark gray duvet. Apparently, after he’d taken her again last night, he’d fallen asleep.

That never happened. Women never stayed the night. Ever. He made sure of it. He stared at her, his gut twisting as he realized how many rules he was unconsciously breaking with her. She crashed through indestructible walls with very little effort, and without him even realizing she was doing it, and he didn’t know how she fucking did that. Last night, he’d outright refused to go to dinner with her, and yet, somehow, she’d outsmarted him and basically dragged him there, making him feel like an idiot if he didn’t follow.

Now, as she slept peacefully, her hair curtaining her face and her cheeks rosy, his mind churned. She lay there like a sleeping beauty for him to wake with a single kiss. He couldn’t help but ask himself: What is it about you? Over and over again, he pondered the question, never getting a solid answer on why she captivated him so much.

He sighed, and that stirred her, causing her to rub her face into the pillow and open her eyes.

She blinked twice. Then, “Hi.”

“Good morning,” he said, voice tight. His head spun. What in the hell was going on with him? Last night he’d enjoyed going for pizza with her. He liked listening to her speak and watching her smile. Most of all, he liked waking up next to her. And that was a problem.

He turned onto his side and stared into the gorgeous depths of her soulful eyes, wondering how she possessed the powers she did. What sort of trickery was she using to get him to respond to her in the ways she wanted, without him even thinking about putting up his shields to stop her?

She slowly lifted her head off the pillow, giving him a measured look. “Is everything all right?” she asked, her eyes searching his intently.

Her hair was a mess, sticking up wildly, and somehow, she looked more beautiful than ever. “You confuse me.”

She considered him carefully for a good few seconds before she laughed easily, rolling onto her back. “Is that a good thing or a bad thing?”

He wasn’t laughing, far from it. “I don’t know,” he answered honestly, trying to find solid ground again. He wasn’t supposed to enjoy her this much. He was supposed to curb his hunger for her, not fall further, wanting even more of her than she’d originally offered.

Her smile remained when she tucked her hand between her face and the pillow, eyes even twinkling. “Well, Mr. Serious, if you don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing, then what do you know?”

“I know that I’m surprised I didn’t ask you to leave last night.
