Page 66 of Nothing to You
“It’s beautiful,” she said, going to the full height windows that looked out over the view of the grounds.
“Yeah, the fingernail crescents in the back of my hand scream ecstatic.”She glanced down when he stopped beside her.“The scratches on my back, I can handle.They come with a happy ending.”She bit the inside corner of her mouth.“What did I tell you about holding back, Radley?”
“I’m not holding back.”Her head shook.“I don’t know it’s…”
“If you don’t like it, we’ll look at other facilities.”
“We have appointments with other places.”
“Okay, so is this one out?That big-eyebrow guy we met at the front desk kept popping up to check out your tits.”His own eyes dropped to them, and he nodded to the side.“Which I guess is fair for a guy not at liberty to play with them.”
“It feels wrong.”
“What feels wrong?”
“Relocating her life to suit mine.She has friends where she is, people who give her routine and stability.”
“Okay, so we relocate them too.We’ll relocate their whole families.No one will object.”
Because he’d pay them not to.She wasn’t mad.In fact, when he was being so generous, it was difficult to remember they didn’t like each other.
She smiled.“What if I want to relocate Mosaic?”
“Then we relocate Mosaic,” he said with a semi-eye roll and zero hesitation.“We’ll make money wherever we go, baby.The location doesn’t matter.”
“Providing it has a bed.”
“Now you’re getting it.”
“I’ll talk to my sister,” she said.“Get her opinion.”
“She live near your mom?”
“She tends to… travel.”
His brows got slightly closer.“Oh-kay.”
“We’re covering the cost, it’s not like she has to pay anything.But I do have to tell her where our mom is.”
“Do we know where she’ll be?”
“Not yet.I prefer to see everything that’s on offer before I make my final decision.”
He moseyed in closer to embrace her, switching her angle to show the bed.“While you ponder, let’s talk about payment.”
“You want to have sex in a hospital?”
“It’s not like a hospital, hospital, people aren’t dying.”
“So long as no one’s dying, it’s not disrespectful?”she said, containing her laugh.“The door is open.”
“Never stopped us before,” he said and crouched to kiss her.“I think you like the exhibitionist thing.”
“I think I do too,” she said, though sex and proclivities with him didn’t always match up to her previous experience.“Helps that you have the money to pay off offended witnesses.”
“That’s what those babies are for,” he said, eyeing her chest again.
Enjoying each other always came with a time limit.Work.Friends.Commitments.They used to hang out for hours just arguing with each other.
