I shove him playfully. “Man, go do what I’m paying you to do. But thanks, I like this for me too.”
Hendrix takes off in his truck, and I head back inside where Halo’s putting the food away. The items of the bag are still on the coffee table where we have it spread out, and she’s humming softly.
I approach her as she moves around my kitchen, wrapping my arms around her waist and leaning down to nuzzle against her neck. “Hendrix is going to head over to your place now with a few guys from his job. They’ll have everything installed by morning.”
“I still can’t believe you’re doing all of this for me. It’s so hard to feel like I deserve this.”
I spin her around to face me. “You deserve to be taken care of, Halo. Okay? I’m not saying I’m perfect, but when it comes to taking care of the people I love, I’m a pro at it. Let’s pack up Tony’s stuff and make sure we get you to the DA’s office in the morning. We can call your lawyer on the way, and if he’s as useless as I think he is, we can ask for more time to get a different attorney for you.”
“I think once the DA gets their hands on that bag, I’m not going to need much of a lawyer. They’ll probably be singing my praises. I imagine that’s part of what they were looking for when they raided the place. Hayden, I truly don’t know how to thank you for all of this.”
“Have you forgotten what we’ve been doing these past few days?”
She moves out of my embrace with a giggle. “Almost sex isn’t a thank you.”
“Well, I’m thankful for it anyway. You don’t have to do any of it, but you put your trust in me, Halo. With your life, your body. The least I can do is take care of you.”
“So what do you want to do now, Daddy?” she asks with a seductive grin, running a finger down my chest and stopping just above the edge of my pants.
“I think we should shower and go to bed, baby girl.”
“Are we? I mean, can we? Um, finish what we started in the car?”
My cock twitches as images of every fantasy I want to play out flood my head, both of them. I want Halo badly, but exercising a little patience goes a long way.
“We can, but baby girl, I think we should wait until after your place is safe and my brother’s done with the new security installation. The last thing I want is for us to get interrupted because I need to rush over there and help out or break Tony’s face because he decided to attack my brother or his employees.”
“You’re really going to make me wait?” she asks, her gorgeous green eyes wide and beckoning for me to cave into her demands.
“Baby girl,” I tip my head down and kiss her gently. “If you’ve been waiting this long, keep your pussy waiting for a little while longer. I promise it’s going to be worth it. Now, let’s at least get showered and ready for bed.”

HALO
After a shower, Hayden takes his time massaging my body all over to the point I fall asleep without even thinking about that delicious cock of his. I can’t say that I don’t want him to wake me up at some point in the middle of the night, or at least this morning with his tongue between my thighs.
However, I’m just as happy with Hayden taking care of me in ways that don’t involve me throwing my virginity at him. The smell of maple syrup wafts into the bedroom and I can’t wait to eat. This man keeps me fed, satisfying my appetite in more ways than one.
Once I push myself to get up, I sit on the edge of the bed when Hayden comes in with a large mug in his hand. Steam is rising from it as he sets it down on the nightstand. He dips down, taking one of my nipples in his mouth, swirling his tongue around it before pulling his mouth away to kiss me.
The kiss is swift and he waltzes back out of the room with a wink to me and tosses a hand towel over his shirtless shoulder. My god, the muscles in his back are insane. But I guess chasing down criminals and fugitives keeps him in great shape.
The coffee smells strong from the mug and it’s black. I’m ready to get up to get some milk and sugar when Hayden returns with just what I need.
“I didn’t know how you like it,” he says, setting a small cup of milk and a container of sugar beside the steaming hot beverage.
“Black with sugar is great for me.”
He smiles and picks up the milk, gulping it down and turning to leave the room once again.
It doesn’t take long for me to get the coffee down. My favorite liquid wake-up call tastes even better when I don’t have to make it myself. When I throw some clothes on and head into the kitchen, breakfast is sitting on the countertop.
There are two heaping plates of food and Hayden’s cleaning up the kitchen after making a lavish breakfast. Waffles, sausage, eggs, and toast seem a bit excessive, but I haven’t eaten this much food for free in ages.
I feel like I’m practically inhaling the food as he continues to move around the kitchen, cleaning up before he sits down beside me to enjoy his breakfast.
“We can head to the DA when you’re done, baby girl. I already spoke to their office and they’re willing to forego the handcuffs, warrant, and all that as long as you bring in the bag and cooperate. Just answer their questions and you should be free to go.”
