Mendacity in mattress, I spotted my muscle tissues ached in a manner I’d by no means skilled earlier than. As a result of I’d been sick most of my childhood, I hadn’t been allowed to do many bodily actions. However even after the bone marrow transplant, my mother had turn out to be so hyper-focused on making certain I used to be nicely that I nonetheless wasn’t allowed to do something which may put on me out.

However now, every manner I moved, I might really feel the pull of muscle tissues I hadn’t recognized existed. It was a soreness that spoke of nice adventures and triumph. As I rested towards Hawk’s physique, his arm draped over my half-naked physique, I couldn’t assist however smile on the sensation.

The whole lot damage, and I liked it.

Sighing in bliss, I snuggled again into Hawk’s heat as I debated if there was nonetheless time to strive yet one more place earlier than anybody got here to search for me. I knew I ought to really feel responsible for ghosting everybody, however I couldn’t discover it in me to show my telephone again on. Bryce mentioned he’d deal with it, and I trusted him to just do that. He’d all the time taken care of me, and I knew he’d swoop in together with his massive brother vitality for this, too.

I ought to most likely take a look at how usually he rescued me. However later.

“Don’t inform me you’re a morning individual, Blazy,” Hawk grumbled behind me, his breath tickling my neck.

Smiling, I rolled over and ran my fingers over his naked chest, tracing his tattoos. In some unspecified time in the future, Hawk had made us each placed on some type of clothes to place a barrier between us. It was his try to steer us to maintain our fingers to ourselves.

It hadn’t labored the best way he meant.

The person seemed horny in grey sweatpants. Particularly when he didn’t have something on beneath them. Apparently, I seemed simply as irresistible in his t-shirt, so I suppose it was a good taking part in area.

“And what if I’m?” I teased, grinning.

“Hmm. I’ll need to rethink this.”

“This?” I requested, my voice hitching. I’d hoped it could possibly be extra, wished it greater than something, however I knew the pitfalls. Hawk was Bryce’s finest buddy, and it was clear the place I stood in that dynamic. Plus, Hawk hadn’t ever had a critical girlfriend earlier than. Why would he change that for me? I’d advised myself I used to be wonderful with one night time. That it was higher than nothing.

However now… hope springs everlasting and all that crap.

My physique tingled with anticipation as I waited for what he would say.

He cracked open one eye, the ice-blue colour searing into me. “I’m unsure what you concentrate on me and the way I deal with ladies, however I don’t go round sticking my dick in simply something.”

“Wow. So romantic,” I deadpanned.

Hawk narrowed his eye at me, and goosebumps raised alongside my pores and skin. I might already hear the possessive growl in his voice, even when he didn’t say something.

“And right here I believed you have been the king of one-night stands with a heave-ho the subsequent morning. Bryce even has a phrase for it. Stated you coined it.”

Hawk turned on his aspect, hovering over me and trapping me together with his physique as his eyes simmered like molten lava.

“I don’t give a fuck what Bryce mentioned. I’m telling you the rating. Do you hear me?”

I nodded, however the freedom to talk my thoughts with Hawk flooded out of me earlier than I might cease it.

“Oh, I heard you all night time lengthy as you screamed out my title. Perhaps I’m the queen of one-night stands,” I chirped, my cheeks heating at my taunt.

Hawk’s eyes darkened, his pupils so blown I might barely make out any colour. He leaned ahead till our noses touched.

“We may be out of condoms, child, however I nonetheless haven’t taught you what I can do to that sensible mouth of yours. Name your self the queen of one-night stands once more and see how that works out for you.”

Eek! I pressed my lips collectively, my eyes heating on the thought. Why did I need to check him?

The left nook of his mouth crept up, his stubble extra pronounced at the moment. I lifted my hand and ran it over the sharp edges. My physique bore the marks of his beard, rubbing me in all of the locations, branding me as his.

“However Bryce…” I mentioned, leaving it at that.

Hawk let loose a deep breath. “Yeah. I do know. I’ll—”

A loud noise interrupted him as a door I hadn’t seen in the midst of the wall smacked towards the dresser because it opened.

“Hawk! You in right here, bruh? I’ve been making an attempt to come up with you. Have you ever seen Blake?” my brother requested as he stepped by means of from the adjoining room.
