FIFTEEN

MAGDALENA

Jac’s still fast asleep, and I think he’s more beautiful like this.

Like this, he isn’t angry or cynical or any of the things that weigh him down in ways I don’t think he realizes.

Ways I don’t think I did until now.

He’s perfection with his inked skin, the broad expanse of back, with covers tangled in a way that expose his fine, tight ass.

I like that he sleeps on his stomach. Hendrick sleeps on his side, at least he does when we’ve slept together. Looking at Jac soothes something in me, something I know would be complete if I had Hendrick here, too.

But he’s not. Right now I have Jac and…shit. I could fall for him, too.

Maybe I’m on that edge, I’m not sure. Or, maybe I just don’t want to know.

I do know I want to reach out and touch him, trace the lines of him.

He stirs, flipping to his back, and even though his cock is soft, it’s sizable. I’d love to palm him, explore him and make him hard with my tongue, but if I do that, I’m going to be in here half the day and I can’t. I need to do some B and E, and research. I might need to drop by Harry’s.

My phone buzzes—the burner—and heart thumping, I pick it up.

It’s a picture of a ring.

And it’s fucking stunning.

Sure, it’s big, probably garish to many, but to me, it’s beautiful. The right outfit with just that, and…

Breathing out, I send it to Harry.

The ring’s old, perhaps not a full-on centuries old generational heirloom, but I’d say about a hundred years or close to. It looks twenties, but that could also be something commissioned to reflect. What I do know is that it’s a natural black diamond, and this would go for about ten thousand per carat with its unusual hue in the black, and the clarity of cut along with the size.

Worth an absolute fortune, but not up there with the priceless pieces.

Wow. That’s all that Harry texts.

I respond. Just came through. Got the bracelet thanks to Jac. Now we need to just get the Heart of Dark Desires and whatever the last one is.

And this, she texts.

Any thoughts?

She sends back a shrug emoji.

“Damn it.” Harry hasn’t seen it before, but I’m hoping she can find it. I’ll look, too, but I want to get back into Lacey Photography because apart from Quinate photos, they tend to have a cornucopia of rich people wearing their jewels in photographic form. Which I guess isn’t surprising since it’s a photo studio.

Anywhere’s a good place to start, and it also gets my mind off Hendrick and stops me giving into the urge to crawl back under the covers with Jac.

Jac mutters something, and I look at him, heart squeezing tight. When he sleeps it’s like a glimpse to how he might have looked when he was a boy, before joy and love was stolen from him. His mother, and then… Lili.

The bond of love that causes hate between the two men.
