I cross my arms, more to hold myself together than anything else. Neighborly? No fucking way.
Something dark flickers in his expression but it’s gone so fast I almost think I imagine

JayMoonlight spills through the tall window of her father’s office and lands on Madison. It brushes across the warm gold of her skin, lighting the curve of her breasts and the hollow of her throat in a way that makes it impossible to look anywhere else.Madison’s legs tighten around my waist where
