Page 36 of Ghost
After about two hours, I notice the women in a circle, heads down as they chat.They then head toward the stairs, Xanthe grabbing Atiana’s hand.
Patch stands in front of the exit, blocking it.
Good man.
Leaving the security room, I go up to Xanthe and grab her around the waist.Instead of being angry that I was clearly here the whole time, she spins around and jumps into my arms with a smile on her face.
“Where are you going?”I ask, frowning.
“We’re going to Club Cobra, and not one of you is going to tell the men that we’re coming,” Ora says to me, Patch, and Romeo, who also came to check on the women.She puts her hands on her hips and looks at me.“Okay?”
“Fine with me as long as you let us keep you safe and don’t run off,” I reply, running my hands down Xanthe’s back.“Come on, let’s go.”
The sooner I take them to their men, the sooner I can leave and have Xanthe out of his red dress.
XANTHE
Groaning, I roll over to find my bed empty, but Ghost has left out some water and painkillers for me.
My mind roams to last night, Isla seeing Skull with some stripper on his lap, and me telling Skull we were taking Isla home with us.I’m pretty sure I even threatened him.I’ve never threatened anyone in my life, and I know it was more than the alcohol talking.I felt so safe because Ghost was behind me, and I knew with all my soul that he’d never let a thing happen to me.
It made me feel confident.
And then when we got home, I gave Ghost a lap dance of his own and then pushed him back on the bed and fucked him hard, just like I said I would.
I remember him talking dirty to me, telling me to use his cock however I want because it belongs to me.My pussy clenches at the flashback.
Tipsy me took control in the bedroom for the first time ever, and although I prefer Ghost to be the dominant one, I had to admit it was pretty hot.
The fact that Ghost stayed at Strike to watch over me instead of being at the strip club with the rest of the men really turned me on.
I knew he’d have eyes on me, but since both prospects were there, I didn’t think he’d be in the security room taking a whole shift to make sure I was safe.
Sitting up and pulling the sheet with me, I swallow two tablets and drink half the bottle of water.I’m not much of a casual drinker, but when I do drink, I tend to go hard, and right now I’m paying for it.
After a quick shower, I brush my teeth and throw on a soft yellow maxi dress before I leave my room in search of Ghost.I find him in the kitchen, shirtless, frying some bacon.
“Fuck, I love you,” I blurt out, and he stills, turns off the stove, and faces me.His muscles flex and ripple as he storms toward me, gently cupping my face.
“What did you say?”
Swallowing hard, I repeat my words.“I love you.”
I know he said it to me once before, but I didn’t say it back.It felt too soon, and we haven’t addressed it again.He told me how he felt, and he let it sit without any pressure.I love him even more for that.
“I love you, too, sunshine.So fucking much,” he rasps, kissing me softly.
“I know,” I reply on a low breath.“You show me every day.”
Ghost might be the scary villain in some people’s stories, but to me, he is my Prince Charming.
He lifts me and sets me on the counter.“Let me feed you before I take you back to bed to show you just how much.”
I smile and watch as he serves me a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon, avocado, and toast.He sets it on the dining table and then carries me there before getting his own.
While I eat, I check the Baddies chat and catch up on everything I’ve missed.
“Isla said she’s fine.”
