“Jayden,” she murmured against his lips as he kissed her again. “I need you. Now.”
Jayden pulled back and stared at her in the dark, his eyes dilated with lust and greed. He looked deadly and dangerous and she loved it.
She loved him.
Her heart trembled within her chest at the revelation.
She reached her hand down and cupped him through his jeans.
“Jesus, Haley.” He gritted out between his clenched teeth.
She loved how he responded to her touch. And how her body responded to his. With him everything was so right, so perfect.
“Where am I going to sleep?” Granny’s voice screeched across the porch as the old lady opened the door and flipped the light switch on.
Haley froze.
Jayden cursed.
“Well, there you two are. I was looking everywhere.”
Haley smiled at the old lady from around Jayden’s shoulder. Thank God, Jayden had his back to his Grandmother and she couldn’t tell he was sporting a tent in his pants.
“You can sleep in the room next to the bathroom,” Jayden called out. His eyes were closed and his jaw tight. Haley figured he was trying to force his erection to go down.
“The room with the missing door? I can’t sleep in there. That’s Haley’s room. If I sleep there, where will she sleep?”
“She can sleep in my bed,” Jayden spat out.
“Absolutely not. Not while I’m in the house. You two are not mated.” Granny crossed her arms.
Haley slowly moved her hand off Jayden’s erection. He groaned.
“I’m an adult, Granny,” Jayden warned.
“And you’re not mated.”
“Granny…” Jayden’s voice held a warning.
Haley righted her clothes and spoke. She didn’t want them to get into an argument over her.
“It’s okay,” she whispered before stepping around him. She knew he couldn’t turn around. Well, not yet.
Haley smiled at Granny. “I’ll sleep in my room Granny. Don’t worry.”
“That’s a good girl.” Granny patted her arm and smiled. “Come on inside and let me show you what I brought for you.
“You brought me something?” Haley frowned and stepped through the door.
“It’s what you ordered from the party.” Granny led her through the room to the third bedroom where her small suitcase sat on the bed.
“My order?” Haley frowned and then her expression changed. “Oh. My. Order.” She hurried to the door and closed it. She felt her face heat with embarrassment.
Holy shit.
She was such an idiot.
“Let’s chat.” Granny sat and patted the bed, motioning her to sit.
Haley smiled and eased onto the bed. She hoped Granny wasn’t about to give her the sex talk. She really didn’t put it past the old lady.
“I see that you and my Jayden have gotten close.” Granny’s eyes twinkled.
“Well, he was assigned to protect me.” Her throat felt like sandpaper as she tried to swallow.
Granny patted her arm. “Haven’t told him you love him, have you?”
Haley jerked her gaze up to Granny’s old eyes. Her face heated as she shifted her weight on the bed.
“Jayden has been through a lot, ever since that night in Louisiana when he was beaten so badly.” Granny’s eyes grew sad. “I had never seen him so broken, physically and mentally. But he wouldn’t let me worry over him. Not my Jayden. Even with his body broken like it was, he put on a brave face.”
Haley’s heart broke for both Granny and Jayden. She wanted to kill the red Weres responsible for his injuries.
“But since he’s been here with you, he’s different. He’s better. You have healed him in a way that no one else ever could.” Granny cocked her head.
“But I’ve heard that Jayden is not the one-woman type of guy.” She wasn’t the type to share. It was all or nothing.
“I wouldn’t listen to all the rumors, Haley. Jayden might have sewn his share of wild oats, but I think he’s ready to settle down. Well, enough of that. Let’s get down to business.” Granny smiled and pulled out a black bag and handed it to her. “Go on. Have a look. I need to see if you’re going to like it.”
She reached inside the bag and pulled out the four-inch vibrator with a curved head. It was neon green.
Granny frowned. “Is it the right color? I could have sworn you ordered electric blue.”
Haley bit her cheek and tried not to laugh. The whole situation was hysterical.
“Turn it on and make sure it works.”
“Right now?” She was not having this conversation.
“Yeah. That way if it’s broken I can return it immediately.” Granny sighed and sat on the bed. “You would be surprised how many women try to return some of the products they’ve already used.” Granny shook her gray head. “People have no manners anymore.”
A giggle slipped past her lips.
Granny’s gaze was trained on the green vibrator in her hand, waiting for her to turn it on.
Haley closed her eyes and hit the button. The vibrator started trembling.
