I groan. Ivory scatters up.

“Fucking unbelievable.” I groan again. I nearly had her and nearly got my case of blue balls fixed.

“She’s not meant to be here.” Ivory says, grabbing her clothes, and pulling her jeans back on.

I pinch the bridge of my nose. “How long till we get our own place again?”

I hear her laugh, so I look at her.

“I mean it Ivory. Are you mine again?”

She swallowed sharply. “I don’t know.” And then she grabs her bra and underwear and throws them in the washing basket. Having to deal with knowing she was wearing no underwear, will be the death of me. “I’m not playing hard to get. I just think we are better off as friends, maybe with benefits.”

“I don’t want that.” I growl, and step towards her. “I want you in my bed every night. I want you coming, screaming my name. I want you, as mine. Not as a friend, that I causally fuck. If I wanted that I’d get a club girl.”

She looks at me, and I see the confliction. “But that’s all I can give you Kace. Right now that’s all I’m capable of.” Her eyes drop. “But that isn’t good enough, then I guess we just part ways.”

“Ivory!” And I could hear Elle stomping up the stairs.

I gripped her arm as she goes to walk past me. “Am I the only friend with benefits?” I asked, because knowing she was doing this with other guys, would make me go on a murdering spree.

She nods her head.

“Then come midnight. I want you in this bed, naked and ready for me to fuck you. Understand?”

“Ivory!”

“Coming!” Ivory shouts back and then looks at me. “Midnight it is.”

“That’s my girl.” And I see something flash across her face, and I wished I knew what it was.

Ivory

Iwas nervous, so very nervous as I glanced up and down the passage. Making sure my brother wasn’t lurking. I then tip toed to Kace’s door. Not wanting to get caught because Elle would give me a lecture and to be honest with myself, I wasn’t sure what Gabe’s reaction would be.

I see his door ajar and I push it open.

I’m wearing a silk dressing gown and lingerie underneath it, to drive Kace wild. Closing the door behind me, I turn around and see Kace sitting in the armchair, a cigarette burning between his fingers.

Then I smell it, that isn’t a normal cigarette. I walk towards him, his eyes locked on mine- pulling me towards him. Pausing in front of him, I take the joint from his fingers and have a puff, before giving it back to him.

My hands go to my dressing gown, and I let it pool at my feet.

He inhales sharply and reaches for me, but then hisses in pain, as he extended his arm.

“Shit. Kace are you okay?” I ask and lower to my knees in front of him, seeing pain in his eyes. “What’s happened?”

“The fucking storm, that’s what happened.” He muttered, and I continued to look at him for answers.

“You’ve been gone most of the night.” I was upset when he left. Because I wasn’t sure if he was coming back. As stupid as it was. I thought he had changed his mind again.

“Cameras were taken out at the club with the power outage.” He explains. “When the power got switched back on, the storm had moved the cameras so I had to readjust them. Only I fell off the fucking ladder.” He hisses in pain again, raising his arm, trying to reach out to me. “Bloody prince wasn’t holding it.”

“I’m guessing you landed on your shoulder?”

He nods his head.
