“It’s my lotion.”
“Hmm…” Jaxon mimics me. By the time the movie ends, we’ve scrunched up our pillows behind us, and our thighs keep grazing each other. “Give me that remote so I can find something creepy.”
A few minutes later, as I’m flicking through my library app, he’s found his winner. “Okay, phone down. This will do nicely.”
I look up, and he’s turned onThe Conjuring. Oh crap. I’m going to be in his lap before this is over. I gulp, and he smiles victoriously.
“Do I need to turn the lamp back on?”
“No, but the storms better not choose a scary moment to fuck up the electricity again.” Jaxon's throaty chuckle warms me as he wraps an arm around my shoulders and pulls me into his side.
“I won’t let the ghosts get you.”

Jaxon
Fucking cupcakes. It’s all I can concentrate on, outside of floral shampoo. Vanilla, flowers, and Holly. It’s addicting, and I’m dying. I’m sort of glad she hasn’t climbed me like a tree yet, because I’ve been fighting a hard-on from hell for the last twenty minutes. It’s early in the movie though. She jumps every time the thunder claps outside, but if she ends up in my lap, she’s going to get one hell of a surprise. I had to put my arm around her shoulders to keep my hand from finding its way back onto her thigh, where it really wants to be.
“Want your drink?” I ask, reaching for mine.
“Yeah, sure, thanks.”
I smirk at the nervousness in her voice. Me or the movie? I clear my throat.
“So, um, question.”
“Hit me.”
“Who’d she end up choosing in that book?”
“That’s random. You’re going to have to be a little more specific. I read a lot of books.” Holly looks up at me, handing her drink back over. She looks damn good snuggled up against me in my shirt.
“The one you let me listen to in the wine aisle.”
“Oh, that one…” she bites the corner of her lip, and fuck, I want to kiss her. It’s been so long. “Um, she doesn’t choose.”
“What do you mean? Who does she end up with?”
“All of them. It was awhy choose romance.”
I squinch my brows together as I come to grips with what I’m hearing.
“So, she’s with both of them?”
“Yes.”
“At the same time?”
“Sometimes just them, sometimes with all four.”
I about spit out my drink, and she giggles.
“How does that work?”
“It gets very detailed.”
“And shadow daddy can make extras of himself...”
