“Meet me at Carole Jean’s.”
“For dinner?”
“Yeah.”
She laughed. “First, it books up months in advance. Second, you bought me. You have free use of me at the club.The club, Carrera.We aren’t dating in the real world and we aren’t dating in the Bizarro world either.”
“One call to Jericho and he’ll make it happen for us.”
His close friend, Jericho Savage, owned the Michelin-starred restaurant.
Slash shook her head. “No way.”
To prove a point, he sent a text to Jericho.
If I needed a res for Carole Jean’s tonight, can you make that happen?
To his surprise dots appeared, then a response.
Whatever you need brother
He showed Slash his phone before responding to Jericho.
No to res, but appreciate the help. What are you doing up so early?
Liam and I have father-son time on Sat so Liv can sleep in
Seconds later, Jericho sent a selfie of him and Liam eating breakfast together on the screened porch.
After liking the pic, Carrera showed it to Slash.
“So cute,” she said, before pushing out of bed.
He wasn’t surprised she’d turned him down for dinner, but he had the rest of his life to get a yes from her.
She pulled on her thong and bra, left the room. After a quick clean up in the bathroom, he threw on a shirt and shorts before finding her getting dressed in his laundry room.
“I’m out,” she said. “Thanks for the sex-a-thon.” She stepped close, ran the back of her fingers over his bearded cheek. “You fuck good. Can you bring a micro-camera?”
She’d breezed right over the best part. He pulled her close, kissed her gently, letting his lips linger on hers. “I fuck good because it’s you.”
Her lips tugged up in that smile he was eager to see, but she shut it down fast. “We’re partners, that’s it, so save the flattery. It doesn’t work on me.”
Yes, it does, and I meant every word.
“Micro-camera,” she repeated.
“I’ll bring one.”
She slipped into her shoes, he unalarmed, then she left without a backwards glance.
Going forward, he would do everything possible to win her back.
Or I’ll die trying.
Slash
Slash felt morealive than she had in years. Carrera had awakened her libido, set her insides on fire, and taken care of her, repeatedly, all night long.
