I had felt like the biggest pussy in front of my teammates that day. I hated thinking about how weak I’d looked to them. But when no one had given me shit, I had known it was serious.
“I saw the scar.”
“Yeah. Turns out, the doctor was right because I got a new knee at thirty-eight.” I lifted my leg, but the scar was hard to see in the dark. “And it feels great. I can walk, I can run”—I nuzzled Olivia’s temple—“and I can fuck you like you deserve. But it’s too risky for missions. I would never be able to live with myself if someone got hurt or died because my body had failed me. So, here I am.”
She sat up, and I watched the sheet fall from her small breasts. I never knew how much I liked them little until I saw Olivia’s. Perky and still enough for me to suck on.
She ran her hand down my chest. “I’m sorry.”
“What for?” I tugged her close and drew a nipple into my mouth. “They taste good, too,” I muttered.
“What?”
I smiled. “Nothing. Talking to myself.” I sucked on her dark bud again.
“Tommy?”
“Hmm?” I hummed around her nipple.
“If I need your help, I would be very grateful if you came home with me.”
I released her with a pop. “Really?”
“Yes, but I feel like you’re going to be awfully bored. I work a lot, and I don’t do anything fun. You’re going to want to go home after the first day. You could always look for something to do while you’re in Des Moines.”
I frowned. “But I’ll be there to take care of you. I mean, watch over you.”
“But I’ll be at the office most of the time.”
“Then, that’s where I’ll be.”
“But you’ll have to sit out in the waiting room. Attorney-client privilege.”
“Is Derek excluded from everything?”
“No, but he works for me. I need his help, and he signed a contract with the firm.”
“So, hire me to work for you.”
She laughed. “It’s not that easy. I don’t have a position for you. And before you say bodyguard, that doesn’t fall under attorney-client privilege.”
“You’ll figure it out.”
She raised her eyebrows. “I’ll figure it out?”
“Yeah. You’re smart. Therefore, you’ll figure it out.” I ran my thumb over her other nipple. “But until then, I want you to know, you’re plenty fun.”
“Me or my breasts?” she asked suspiciously.
I sucked a tip in my mouth and swirled my tongue around it. “Both.” I pulled her body over mine and rocked my shaft against her pelvic bone. “Open for me.”
Her legs slid to my sides. “You’re insatiable,” she said against my lips.
Only for you, I thought as I pushed my cock inside her.

I blinked open my eyes and took in my surroundings. I was in Tommy’s room in Maddox’s old apartment, facing the wall.
This was the second time I’d woken up here, but unlike the first time, I had no desire to move from the warmth of Tommy’s arms.
I rolled over slowly so as not to wake him, but I should have known that would be impossible to do.
“What are you doing?” he asked without opening his eyes. His voice was rough and sounded sexy from sleep.
“Looking at you.”
“Do you like what you see?”
“Meh. It’s okay.”
He laughed but didn’t say more, and within seconds, I was pretty sure he’d gone back to sleep.
I scanned his face. I’d never noticed how long his dark eyelashes were until now. Some women paid good money for eyelashes like that, and it just wasn’t fair to waste it on a man who probably could not care less.
Tommy’s face had a good amount of stubble this morning, and I kind of liked it. I wondered if he’d keep it if I told him not to shave. Above the facial hair were a couple of striking cheekbones, which I’d also never paid that close of attention to.
I thought it was because when Tommy was awake, there was so much of him. Not just his body, but his presence also, and certain features got lost in the whole package.
He really was a gorgeous specimen of a man.
I closed my eyes and considered going back to sleep when I noticed a warmth on my face. Something about this made me lift my lids again, and I looked around.
The brightness was the same as it had been before, so I didn’t understand what had made me hyperaware of the situation.
I was halfway to thinking I was crazy when it hit me.
I gasped and sat up. “Tommy.”
I must have startled him because he flew up and out of the bed, naked. “What’s wrong? Is someone trying to break in?”
I pointed behind him. “The window.”
He spun and sprinted over. He felt all around the seam and turned back to me. “It’s fine. It’s locked.”
“It’s open.”
He hit his thumb against the glass a couple of times. “No, sweetheart, it’s not.”
I ground my teeth together. “I meant, the shade,” I said as I gestured with my whole arm. “The shade is open.”
He stared at me blankly.
“The shade is up. We had sex last night with the lights on.” I flopped back on the bed and covered my head. I was never going to be able to face Addison and Maddox again. Especially Maddox.
Although…just because the shade hadn’t been drawn, that didn’t mean the two of them had looked through the window. They had probably been too busy having their own sex.
The comforter was slowly pulled out of my hands and lowered from my face.
Tommy stood over me with an amused grin on his face. “Care to share with the rest of the class?”
I shook my head. If I told him, he’d want to know how I knew.
He sat down next to
