Page 48 of Sins or Secrets
“There are some seriously hot guys floating around town.It’s the beach. It brings them out in droves.”
At the mention of hot guys I instantly conjure up Logan in my mind.Him on the beach shirtless. It’s an image from the past.I’m sure he looks even better now, shirtless with all those hard military muscles.I used to like running my hands all over him.I felt so lucky to be with him that I made sure I enjoyed myself every time we were together.Clearly a little too much if I still remember it .
I push the image from my mind when my mouth starts watering.I’m sure the only woman enjoying those muscles these days is that Monica, even ifLogan said she wasn’t his girlfriend.
What the hell am I even thinking.
Not even a minute ago I’d sworn off relationships and here am thinking of hot sinful things.
“My God, you look guilty. Who were you thinking about?”
“Nobody.” I laugh.
“You’re lying. I can so tell.”
“Bree, you’re going to get me in trouble.”
I’m saved when my phone rings in my pocket, but I instantly right that thought about being saved when I retrieve it and see it’s Riley.
God.
Speak of the devil and he comes.
“Shit,” I hiss. “I have to take this.” What the hell could he want?Why is he even calling me?
“You okay?”
“It’s Riley.”
Enough said.
I get up and answer the phone as I walk a little way away from Bree so I can talk in private.
“Hello,” I say, keeping my tone even.
“Hello, Quinn. I’m just checking on you.”
“Checking on me? Or, checking up on me?”
“Isn’t that the same thing though, sweetheart?”
“Don’t call me that.”
“We’re still married until that divorce is finalized.You are still Quinn Langdon. You’d do good to remember that the next time you see your ex-marine.Make sure you tell Captain America to stay the fuck away from you.”
My mouth falls open. What the hell?
Has he been watching me?
Is he here?
A chill races down my spine and I whip around looking over the house.
“Relax I’m still in L.A, but I have eyes everywhere.Don’t embarrass me before the ink’s dry on the paper.”
“You asshole, how dare you think you can call me and threaten me.” I sound more ballsy than I feel.
“Quinn, it’s only a matter of time before I figure out what you have on me and I’ll haul your ass back here kicking and screaming.You’ll be mine again. Soon. So, don’t go running around having too much fun.Remember who you belong to.”
