Chapter Eight

Marshal had insisted on a movie marathon.

Since he had gotten off his business call, he had refused to be alone. Ava was okay with it. He’d insisted on turning it into a pajama party, and had even loaned Knox a pair of sweatpants. They were curled up on his sofa. Ava was wrapped in Knox’s arms, and Marshal was on the other end.

They were watching romance movies—Marshal’s choice—and so far, three movies had made him cry. Her ass was numb and she used the excuse to go and make some popcorn. She was trying to figure out how to get Marshal to go to bed so she and Knox could have sex. That was all she could think about. Sex. Lots of sex.

He’d brought her to orgasm while draining potatoes. How did that happen? Before she could even suggest that she help Knox with his arousal, Marshal had entered the kitchen. If he’d known what they had been up to, the man didn’t show it.

She liked Marshal. He was a nice guy, a little shallow at times, and he let his money do all the talking, but right now he wasn’t being a great guy. She was tempted to tell him to leave her the fuck alone, but she didn’t want to be rude.

“This is fun, isn’t it?” Marshal asked.

Ava looked at him, really looked at him, and saw the large smile on his face. Marshal wasn’t doing this on purpose. He was enjoying the movie marathon, and he looked happy.

She knew when she’d stumbled onto him in rooms in the past few days, he’d be standing there, staring at nothing, appearing so lost in his own thoughts. Marshal had a lot of wealth and could have anything at his fingertips, but the irony was, he didn’t have anyone he could trust. Sure, the snap of his fingers and the house would be beaming with people he didn’t know, but that wasn’t what he wanted. Anyone would turn up for a party, but it didn’t mean they’d watch your back.

“Yeah, this is great.”

“I’ve never had a movie night before. At least, not where I got to pick the movies.” Marshal smiled.

“What happened to your parents?” Ava asked.

Marshal shrugged. “Car accident, I think. I’m not really sure. I know I inherited their small fortune and their business was failing. All I could do was attempt to rebuild it.” He gave another shrug again.

“You weren’t close to your parents?”

“Nah, they were more interested in their own lives than their son’s. All they wanted from me was to be left alone and to grow up. What about you?”

“I didn’t know my parents,” Ava said. “I grew up in the foster care system.”

“Shit, I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine. I like where I’m at today.”

“Is that how you know Knox?”

She shook her head. “Nah, Knox rescued me from a very bad situation.” There was no point in telling him that Knox killed a serial rapist and murderer who intended to make her the next victim.

“Knox is a good guy.
