Chapter Forty

Nicholas's POV:

When we got back to the house, things were pretty smooth. She was getting comfortable with me, and I didn't actually like it. But she was injured, and I couldn't tame her. So, I would just let her be while I worked on the business.

"Lie down and get some rest. You have been through enough."

"You are not sleeping in the same room with me?" She asked, sounding disappointed.

"Oh, my pet. I have pressing things to handle. Don't miss me too much."

"I am not missing you," she said, rolling her eyes. "I just wanted to make sure. . ."

"That what?" I cut her off. "I don't fuck you hard and raw?" I finished.

Her breathing quickened, and I could see her unintentionally wriggling her hips. "It is not what you think. I just never mind."

Smirking, "okay," I agreed innocently. "Whatever that makes you happy." I leaned in and kissed her on the forehead, gently patting her shoulders before leaving.
