Chapter Fifteen

Max

"No, no fucking way. Hell no."

Lennon had to be out of her mind.

"It's the only idea I've got, Max. The cops aren't doing much."

"What do you expect to accomplish by tracking down your exes?" I stood and paced the floor. "Do you honestly believe any of them would confess to trashing your place and crank calling you?"

Lennon's shoulders slumped, and she lowered her gaze.

"I've done a lot of things...mean things. I probably deserve everything that's happening to me. I can't just sit back and let..." Her voice broke, and I realized she was crying.

"Hey," I dropped to my knees and pulled her into my arms, “it’s going to be okay."

"I know I probably sound stupid for even suggesting it, b...but—"

"Of course, I don't think you're stupid. I told you, you have a lot to learn about me." I kissed the salty tears on her cheeks. "Lesson number three. I'll never deny you anything. Not ever. Do you hear me?"

She nodded against my chest.

Fuck. I was about to learn way more about Lennon's exes than I ever wanted to know. All while trying not to go to jail for murdering each one of those stupid bastards.

"It's late. We should probably call it a night. What do you think?" She nodded again.

"Okay." Lennon's nose was pink from crying as she rubbed her wet cheeks with the back of her hand. "Oops, sorry.” She pointed to the makeup stains on the front of my dress shirt.

"Bah.” I dismissed her concerns.

"I'd better go and wash my face," she said, then left the living room.

I hung back a little longer, turning off the television and kitchen lights. Then I took off all my clothes, dropped them into the laundry room hamper, and walked through the house completely naked. After making sure all the doors were locked and the house was secured, I climbed into the empty bed and waited for Lennon. As the minutes ticked by, I wondered how long it was supposed to take to wash off makeup. Did she have one of those insane beauty routines that took forever to complete? She was high maintenance, but not that high maintenance.

I threw back the covers and walked down the hall to the guest room to see what was keeping her. When I stepped inside, the lights were off, and she was lying in the guest bed.

"What are you doing?" I flipped on the light, feeling a little indignant. Lennon sat up and blinked at me.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" She looked at me like I had two heads. "Going to sleep."

"I can see that, but why are you in this bed?"

Finally understanding my meaning, her face softened.

"I didn't know you wanted me to sleep in your bed."

"I always want you in my bed."

Lennon's mouth twisted into a slow smile as she threw back the covers and stood.

"Is that lesson number four?" She asked coyly.

"Damn straight."

I flipped off the guest room light and followed Lennon to my room. I was also going to make sure she moved her stuff into the master bedroom first thing in the morning.
