Page 39 of Prince Charming

Never had a chaste kiss cause her to almost come spontaneously.

Giggly with relief, she wasn’t ruined. Not broken.

Her dormant arousal blazed to life and was barking happily for Tag’s attention.

One silly kiss and she was ready to beg.

“Didn’t you know, darlin’? It’s not a decent night out for a biker until he throttles someone.” Delivered in his rich tone. His eyes softened. “C’mon, let’s get you home.”

It was the biker with the big heart who escorted her home, ushering her into the bathroom to take a hot bubble bath while he fixed them some food.

Glad of the time to think, she took a fast soak.

She didn’t know she’d fallen asleep until she woke up wrapped in a blanket and her head resting on a denim-clad thigh. His bare feet up on the coffee table.

“Good sleep, darlin’?”

“How long was I asleep for?”

“Couple of hours. You flaked out right after dinner while we were watching the TV.”

“Sorry,” she groaned, pulling herself into a seated position, “you didn’t have to stay.”

“Didn’t wanna leave you alone.”

So sweet.

Rising to his feet, she felt safe staring at his back as he walked into the kitchen.

When he returned, he was holding a mug of steaming hot chocolate. Sweetness drifted to her nose, and she almost salivated.

“I didn’t have any cocoa.”

Tag swung into his jacket, sent her a grin. “I put a carton in the cabinet the other day. Get to bed soon, yeah?” Bossy, bossy. She wrinkled her nose at him.

“And I’ll come pick you up in the morning.”

She blinked.

“I walk to work.”

“Not for work, darlin’. I wanna take you somewhere.” When she frowned, he went on. “Trust me.”

Marianna couldn’t admit his directives made her shiver.

He was her friend.

Onlyher friend.

A friend who soaked her pussy and made her breasts ache.

Was gratitude manifesting into attraction?

It showed how fucked up she’d been for a long time if she couldn’t tell the difference. Galina had been her only stable friend until him.

Kindness had been in short supply for years. The twin’s father, who she fondly thought of as a piece of shit, didn’t have a hand in raising the kids. Paternally or financially.

He played a pivotal role in why she was here now, though. Asshole.
