CHAPTER SEVEN

(Damien)

While Lexi puttered around the kitchen shortly after breakfast, I sat quietly at the island. I liked watching her move. She was efficient. Purposeful. Sensual. Every sway of her hips drew my attention to that delectable ass. It cried out to be spanked, which I hadn’t gotten around to yet.

Yet? No, scrap that word. This wouldn’t be happening again. I couldn’t come back here—not even for a quick visit. Because I didn’t think I’d manage to leave again without first burying my dick inside her once more.

Christ, that woman.

She’d kept a physical space between us since waking, much as she had on the previous sunset. It was for the best. But I fucking hated it.

Harvey’s words from last night kept drifting around my head. If I followed his advice, it might well come back to bite me on the ass. If I didn’t, well, I’d be kicking the shit out of any man who made a move on her. It really felt like I was fucked either way.

Fighting her pull would have been a lot damn easier if the attraction was purely physical. But there was a lot to like about Lexi Solomon. She was genuine. Accepting. Gutsy. Cautious and guarded, but still open to letting people into her life; open to giving them a chance to earn her trust.

And fuck, she could be funny. We’d talked a lot between sex sessions yesterday, and she’d had me laughing so hard when doing impressions of people. She was brilliant at accents, and her impersonation of Sam was perfect.

I couldn’t help but find it crazy that she wasn’t the least bit scared of Castor but almost had a major freak out when we spotted a spider on her bedroom wall. Oh, she’d dismissed it at first. Even as her shoulders went stiff, she’d acted all aloof and uncaring, clearly determined to ignore how its presence creeped her out—Lexi didn’t give into fear easily, I’d learned. But the closer it had crawled toward the headboard, the edgier she’d become until eventually she’d flown off the bed and done a full-on body shiver while insisting I throw the spider out of the window.

We’d exchanged more stories about our lives, and I’d learned just how damn useless her mother was. She and Lexi had ended up in homeless shelters on several occasions. But Lexi had never once tried to trivialise any of my own childhood shit; never been all, ‘oh, the poor little rich boy.’ That just wasn’t the way she operated.

“It’s not like you to sit in silence,” she said, wiping her hands on a kitchen towel.

I met her eyes. “I was just admiring the view.” She didn’t look as though she believed me. “I don’t regret coming here, or staying with you, if that’s what you’re wondering.”

“You should regret it.” She chucked the towel onto the counter. “So should I.”

“But you don’t,” I sensed.

She straightened, all defensive. “Well you make me come really hard.”

A chuckle burst out of me. “I love your honesty.
