I backed away, unbuttoning et your shower, and find me in ten minutes"

His forehead wrinkled "Find you?"

I said nothing more After about twenty seconds, he realized I was done talking and walked off upstairs grinning

I smirked to myself He thinks he’s the only one capable ofsome printer paper from the faxhow he looooooved riddles--and left it on the bottoo to war,

I’d wait for the nights when you’d knock on my door

Now you’ll have to look for me in a room on this floor,

Where the va off my coat, I dropped it in on the floor next to the stairs Taking a few steps away, I started stripping off the rest ofthem at small intervals on the black-and-white tiled floor My flats, my jeans, my shirt, and then I unclaspedinto the hallway to the right

Clad only in , I walked down the dimly lit hallway and entered the theater room, thankful that the chill onin my chest

I hated this roo the dial on the wall, I brightened the area only enough to cast a soft glow As I looked around, I took account that nothing had changed Not that I expected it to

This room was used rarely, but it was built for a crowd Several black leather recliners and two long black leather couches all sat facing a massive flat screen mounted to a wall that was adorned with three smaller screens on each side Family photos and more sports paraphernalia dressed the coffee-colored walls, and with the crea looked cozy and cavelike in here

Madoc and I used to watch TV in here a lot, even though we rarely said anything nice to each other And the only time Jason Caruthers ca up on soft feet, I ran my hand over the cool, smooth black leather of our couch The one atched the Vanored each other on, despite the thick cloud of tension between us And the one we last slept on together before I was taken away

My wo le with a s toparent and another one so angry, he couldn’t even speak Myonly Madoc’s shirt Jason Caruthers had stood in the hallway, refusing to even ed past hiht, and within twenty ly carrying a child inside of me

This room should’ve been bad news to ood on rateful Madoc had talkedonto the sofa, I knelt up against the back and rested my forearms over the top I wanted to see Madoc when he found me When the door handle started to turn, I had to sn my smile and curl my toes to keep my exciteht tooff as playful and not the ny low, and his golden skin looked so war The little hills of his six-pack flexed, and I trailedthe way his kind-of wet hair stuck up like it’d been styled that way When I got to his face, though, his ever present aone

He sed and held up the riddle I’d left "The theater roo around

"I’ to puured it out," I said, cockingto entice him to come in

"Yeah, wellthe last line helped" He let out a heavy sigh "Look, Fallon I don’t want to be in here Can we just go to bed?"

What? Why?

"Madoc" I rushed to stop him "I know that this is the last placeeach other before I left, but we don’t have to be afraid of it"

I got off the couch and stood up next to the arm, my hands folded in front of me His steamy blue eyes fell down my body and then trailed timidly back up tothroughhis tongue in iasped when he pulled s around his waist

I loved that he pickedus to the door

"We leave in six hours," he threatened, "and that h tiet started right now We’re going to bed"

"Madoc, no!" I shot outhim in his tracks "No! I want to be in here"

He pushed a little, and I tightened ainst the stretch in eteasy on me

"Well, I don’t," he shot back "Co to do it in a bed like grown-ups and not on a couch like horny teens"

"We are horny teens"

He scowled up at o, or I tickle"

My chest tensed, and I al out of his grasp, I lowered round and sla over, I grabbed the door and threw it shut

Madoc’s wide eyes locked on mine as I walked the few short steps over to hiainst the back of the sofa, and started tointo his hair, my lips kissed him hard and fast on his mouth and then his neck, andin my hand

"Fallon, Jesus," Madoc cursed

But his head fell back as the pleasure overtook hiers into my hair as I trailed kisses down his chest and sto down onhiue ring bu He jerked, and his eyes popped open, looking down on me with fierce eyes and bared teeth
