CHAPTER 11

PHOEBE

The following morning…

I woke to the feel of someone kissing my forehead. I inhaled deeply, his scent bombarding my senses. I smiled, opening my eyes to the glorious view of Lock Mills. Damn, he was so fine, especially up close. I leaned back further as I knew I looked a hot mess, and my breath was probably reeking.

I covered my mouth with the covers, but still managed to smile at him.

“Good morning,” I said to him. I noticed he was dressed, and I glanced at the clock in his room. It was ten minutes after eleven. My eyes widened, and I started to get up. “I’m sorry. I can go back—”

“What are you… No,” he pushed me back down. “Lay back down, Phoebe. You don’t have to get up.”

I did as ordered and kept hesitant eyes on him.

“Go back to sleep. I just wanted to tell you that I was leaving.”

I relaxed a little, not completely though. I wasn’t sure what the catch was or how hard the ball would drop.

“Oh, okay.”

Lock caressed my forehead, pushing my wild hair away from my face. “You and your girls are going to the mall today, correct?” I nodded, speechless, as his touch ignited my body, awakening desires only he could fulfill. I kept my freakiness in check, though, and focused on his eyes. No, not those beautiful things. Okay, maybe his lips… fuck… no, that’s a very bad idea.

“Phoebe,” came out in a rush and I jerked back from him, startled, more than anything else.

“Sorry, umm, what did you say?”

Lock shook his head, but I saw a smile creep along his gorgeous face.

“You’re going to the mall with Ayana and Noelle. Lester and Homer will be with you. Make sure you stay by them and don’t let Ayana talk you into ditching your protection detail.”

I gave him an innocent look. “What do you mean, she would never?”

He snorted. “Oh please, she does that shit all the time. Don’t let her do it today. Too much is at stake, got it?”

“Yessir, boss. I got it.” I agreed, giving him a salute.

He rolled his eyes. “Cute. Have fun today. I’ll call you later.”

He leaned over and kissed my forehead before he stood and left, throwing a smile over his shoulder before disappearing down the hall.

I couldn’t move.

I couldn’t breathe.

Did that just happen?

Hell, more like did last night happen.

Lock has been all over the place ever since we’ve spent the night exploring his dark side, what I like to call his alter ego. I had the most amazing time, but from the way he had kept his distance afterwards, I thought maybe he didn’t. I had been waiting for forever to tap into his dark side, that side he kept buried under a ton of moodiness and anger. I didn’t believe he would ever show that side of him to me, but he did. Oh boy, did he and I was hooked, addicted, and was dying for more.

It wasn’t as intense as I expected. He didn’t tie me up and flog me, which was something Byron had done all the time.
