afford my nice apartment anymore.”
Kade brushed a stray hair from my face. “Doesn't matter. Just move in with me.”
I kissed him and felt his soft flesh below turn hard. I reached down and stroked his length, imagining last night. “Ready for more, Kade?”
“You're going to kill me woman.”
“Then it will be a good death.”
Kade agreed and we kissed again. He rolled me over onto my back and spread my legs. I don't know how I even had the energy for any of this. But all I knew, was that I wouldn't be satisfied until we made up for those four long years.
We fucked over and over again until the late afternoon. My body was like goo, sticking to the couch and never wanting to let go.
“Would you like some breakfast?” Kade asked, finally prying himself from our fuck station.
I laughed and looked outside at the setting sun. “What do you have?
“Not much. I haven't been grocery shopping since I got out. Probably just oatmeal.”
I grabbed a blanket and covered my naked body, sinking further into the couch. I wasn't going anywhere today. “Oatmeal sounds perfect.”
Kade went to the kitchen to fix us some breakfast and I lay on the couch, staring up at the popcorn ceiling.
My life had taken a crazy turn ever since Kade Ellis showed up on my doorstep. I tried to forget him during those four years but it was impossible. And now he was back and I was his property once again. I liked the feeling of being owned by Kade. He'd do anything to protect me and anything to satisfy my desires.
But I had lost my father in the process. The only family I had left and now he was out of my life. If only I had known the truth sooner. Maybe I could have prevented Kade from going to jail.
We could be married now, with a couple kids running around the house. All those years we wasted. We needed to make up for all that lost time.
Kade returned, holding two bowls of steaming oatmeal. “Breakfast is served, Ms. Spencer.” Kade acted like a butler, bending over to hand me my bowl.
“Thank you, sir. You may have the day off,” I said waving my hand away.
“You're so kind, Master.”
Kade jumped on the couch next to me, still completely naked. I never got sick of staring at his inked chest. I dipped my spoon into the hot oatmeal and devoured it in seconds. I didn't even realize how hungry I was.
Sex really takes it out of you.
Kade set his empty bowl on the ground and wiped his mouth. “We need to talk, Ally.”
My heart skipped a beat. How could it possibly get any worse?
Kade sighed. “I didn't tell you the whole story. And now I need your help.”
“What is it, Kade? You know I'll do anything for you.”
“After I got out of prison, I was picked up by Mayor Peterson. He helped your father put me away.”
“That son of a bitch.” Anger rose in my chest like heartburn.
“He was also the one that got me out of prison.”
“I knew it couldn't have been for overcrowding.”
“Now he wants me to do something that I don't think you're going to like. He wants me to take down your father.”
My father...
“The mayor wants you to kill my father?” I could barely say the words without choking on them.
Kade shook his head. “Not exactly. He wants to destroy Spencer Enterprises. And I can do that without any killing.”
Even though I hated my father's guts, I didn't want him to get hurt. “What if you don't do what the mayor wants?”
Kade looked deep into my eyes. “He'll send me right back to prison.”
“Then what do you have to do?”
Kade held my hand, squeezing it for support. “I need access to his office. Your father has had dealing with a lot of nefarious groups. If I can get documents that will implicate him, that will satisfy the mayor.”
I looked up at Kade with determined eyes. “Let me do it, Kade. I can get access to his office and take
