Libby

Under Duke’s watchful eye, I call my landlord and ask if he can come check on the deadbolt. He’s reluctant at first, insistent the lock is brand new but eventually, he agrees to check it the next day.

“And what about the curtains,” Duke asks.

“They’ll have to wait until payday,” I tell him matter-of-factly.

We’re both laying on top of my bed, which is currently my mattress on the floor. Duke leans over and draws one of my nipples sharply into his mouth before letting it pop out. “Not good enough. I don’t want the whole neighborhood watching you.”

“Sorry, but my bank account currently says curtains are not in the budget.”

“I’ll take care of it then,” he tells me.

I glance at my phone to check the time. “Shit! I’m going to be late.” I scramble to get dressed for work, and occasionally glance back at Duke who’s watching me with a satisfied smile on his lips. Eventually, he gets up and pulls on his shorts and t-shirt.

“See you tonight,” he says with a smacking kiss and a wink right before he leaves.

What have I gotten myself into?

When I arrive at Merry Potter, a paint-your-own-pottery store I manage, it’s easy to push Duke out of my mind because the store is packed with tourists and locals all eager to create the perfect masterpiece. I’m so busy setting up palettes of paint and cleaning tables that when it’s time to close, I’m exhausted and ready to fall into bed. Alone.

Duke doesn’t even cross my mind until I pull into the driveway of my new home and realize the front door is wide open. This was supposed to be a safe neighborhood! There’s a light on inside but I’m not setting one foot inside by myself. I scramble from my car and hurry next door, racing up the front porch and banging on the door until the light above my head flickers on and the door opens.

“Oh my god,” I breathe out. “I think someone broke into my house!”

Duke’s brow wrinkles as he steps out onto the porch and looks across to my house. “Are you sure? Did you go inside and look?”

“NO! You told me to be safe! Why would I go inside my house if it’s been robbed?”

There’s a slight smile on his lips. “Good girl. Stay here, I’ll go and check it out.”

He walks across the yard over to my house. He pauses right outside the front door, poking his head inside before he takes a step. He disappears for a few tense moments before he reappears with his phone pressed to his ear and walks slowly back toward his house. His call ends just as he reaches the front porch.

“I called the police. They’ll be here soon.” He stretches an arm out toward me and I rush into his embrace. “Everything is going to be okay,” he says as he kisses the top of my head.

I peek up at him. “Did it look like they took anything?”

His mouth forms a tight line.
