Page 47 of Liberty
Nodding at me Liberty, went on with his debate, “Yes and we know why Mr. Dastardly did that, now don’t we?”
Shrugging, I replied, “Still, that was not a rescue. He let us go and we bumped into you guys. Scarlet was driving me home in fact.” I smirked at him some more.
Liberty scoffed at my defending argument but he did give me a smile as he replied, “All I know is Justice and I hung out in that dank trunk for almost 2 hours, so that we could rescue you, ok? Then when we came home, you two were with us. So, I call that arescue.”
I kept shaking my head. “Call it whatever you want, but you never busted us out of there. I suppose we will never agree on that, but please do what I’m asking, Liberty? I love Scarlet so much and I don't want anything to steal the glow from her wedding, ok?”
He shrugged. “I don’t think it would. I mean I really think she’ll be happy about us. I am a really bad liar, Belle. So, I’m not sure if I was cornered that I could pull it off? But I do dread all the razzing I’m gonna get from my brothers.” He rolled his eyes.
“Yeah, they are going to roast you for sure.” I giggled.
He nodded. “They all told me, even Red. That I had the hots for you.”
I gave him my best smile. “And so you did.”
“Have the hots for you?” He chuckled. “Fuck yeah!” Stepping closer, he playfully bopped my nose with his finger. “You became even hotter when you whispered my name as you came.”
My jaw dropped open in shock.
He stared at my stunned expression then tossed his head back and laughed.
I was still stunned as I smacked his bare chest. “That was…Wow!”
“Shameless, remember?’ he teased.
I slowly shook my head as I laughed. “Yeah, I remember.”
He came closer and plucked at my towel with his finger. “I’m loving this towel but I’m thinking of stealing it and taking you back to bed.”
My skin felt hot again. The man was so sexy and I knew if I let him touch me, we would end up in his bed again, so I backed up. “People are already gonna wonder where we are, Liberty.”
He sighed. “Ok, but you’d better not walk out of here in a towel if you don't want to get discovered.” He gave me that smirk of his again.
I clutched at the towel. “Oh, yeah, you’re right.” I looked around. “Where are my clothes anyway?”
Liberty raised his hand to his chin and rubbed it with his fingers as he looked me over. “I like you better without them too, actually.”
I laughed. “Liberty! I need my—”
A knock came on the door.
I jumped.
Liberty laughed.
I tisked and placed my finger over his lips as I whispered, “I gotta hide.”
He poked his tongue out to lick my finger.
I yanked my hand back as if he’d burned me. It actually turned me on a little but I definitely was not going to tell him that. We had enough problems.
Smirking at me, he shook his head. “Go around the other side of the bed and lay on the floor.” He jiggled his brows and whispered, “Then when this asshole leaves, I will join you there.”
I smacked his bare chest and ran over to the bed. Rolling across it, I landed on the floor beside it. My towel slipped and I gasped and had to tug it back up over my breasts again.
Another knock came.
Liberty tisked under his breath and yelled, “Wait just a damn minute, will ya!” He stepped over and yanked the door open.
