If you don’t fix this, I will.

Or one of your stalkers will have free entry into your home.

Your choice.

PS: You are so fucking beautiful when you come. It’s all I can picture, each time I get off. I see your face. I want to feel your breath against my skin.

Remember when you told me a tongue was just a tongue, no matter whose it is?

You’re wrong.

Mine is better.

My knees felt weak as I dropped the note to the kitchen counter, my body going hot.

So he had been here.

In my home—or around it, slipping notes in through my fucking kitchen window.

My cock was rapidly hardening, and my hands shook a little as I slid the note back over, rereading it again.

I was pissed at the idea of Draven finding my posts online and watching me, but the idea of him around here, without my knowledge, made me want to break his skull.Or have him break me. Whatever fucking way he wants?—

Goddamnit, I was losing it.

I was still pissed off at the thought of Draven traipsing around over there at Mr. Marsden’s old house, though, too.

He could just throw down a fat wad of cash and suddenly have whatever house he wanted?

Unfortunately, that’s exactly how it works.

Ihad wanted that house.

I couldn’t fucking stand it.

I grabbed my phone and tapped out a message to him.

Max

Did you break into my fucking house?

Draven

I told you. It’s not breaking in if I have a key. Or, this time, if your kitchen window is wide open.

I don’t trust you.

I didn’t come inside, Max, I just slipped the letter in. For your own good. If you’d like me to come inside sometime, just say the words.

I know you didn’t come to Bestens just because of Lily. And I’m still going to find out what you’re hiding from us.

Why did he always have to act like he was the one in control?

I tossed on a shirt and was in the driver’s seat of my pickup before I could second-guess myself. I wasn’t going to back down to a guy who thought he could come into town and intimidate me, when for my whole life I had made it my top priority to be friendly toeveryperson in Bestens.

No.
