CHAPTER 14

Tian

I’m obsessed with Jude’s hickey.

It feels like something personal that I should ignore, but I can’t stop thinking about that mark on his neck, imagining how Daddy Evan gave it to him. There are so many scenarios floating around my brain, like clips from a movie on repeat. No one needs to know how many times I’ve wanked off to the possibilities.

Except when I glance over at Jude again, I realise he’s watching me and totally catches me in the act. I quickly turn my head back and try and conceal my blush, but now I can feel that he’s the one looking at me.

“Is everything okay?” he asks. I can tell he’s genuinely concerned, but there’s also his usual playful tone as well.

“Yep, fine,” I squeak. “What about this?”

We’re on Oxford Street attempting to find a Christmas present for Daddy Sai, which is a terrible idea as it’s teeming with tourists. But neither of us wanted to sit in front of a computer and do it, especially as that’s difficult to do when Daddy Sai’s always in the apartment, and my room at my place is so cramped.

Jude came and met me after work, and we’re trying to not put too much pressure on ourselves by putting an hour’s limit on it before we head home. We’ve still got time to search elsewhere if we don’t have any luck tonight. I’m just trying not to let all the jostling bodies get to me or the Christmas songs being blasted from all sides, competing to be heard.

Outside it’s cold and windy, but inside all the shops the heating is blasting, so the staff don’t freeze. I’ve taken my hat and scarf off so many times, I’m worried I’m going to drop one of them, and I’ve given up on my gloves entirely for the moment, just exposing my hands to the elements.

We’re currently looking through the window of a place that specialises in scents. I know aftershave might not be a frightfully original idea, but I love my Daddy smelling nice in something I’ve bought for him.

“Tian,” Jude says patiently, making me look up at him. “Come on. It’s me. What’s our number one rule?”

“We always come home,” I say automatically.

He rolls his eyes. “Don’t be a brat. That’s my job. What’s our other number one rule?”

“Communication,” I say with a sigh, shoving my tingling hands in my pockets and starting to walk along the busy pavement again.

We’re coming up to Regent’s Street and I start to steer us that way so we can try looking down Carnaby Street. There are some alternative stores there that might offer us up something more original. Plus, the light displays are stunning. I don’t know what the theme is this year, but it’s always good.

Unfortunately, Jude isn’t letting this go. He loops his arm through mine and jostles me. “Seriously, Tee. Are we okay?”

“Of course we are,” I cry in horror, looking at him like he’s crazy.

He chuckles and shakes his head.
