Ruin Me Slowly, Daddy~~
I said, my voice carrying authority without needing to shout, “I’m heading to my room. Yssa, entertain your boyfriend, but don’t burn the house down.”
As I walked away, I could feel Kate’s presence behind me like a shadow, familiar and dangerously magnetic, and even though my head screamed to act like nothing was happening, my body remembered too well the heat of last night, the way that kiss brief, impossible, and infuriatingly real had lingered like a phantom.
I can’t lose control. I won’t. But damn it all, she makes it hard to act like I’m the calm, unshakable man in this house, and I know, deep down, that tonight isn’t going to make things any easier.
