“How the hell do you know what a regency romance novel is?” “I have eclectic taste in literature.”
“My beautiful girl. I’ve been helpless against you from the first day we met.”
“Your dirty little secret’s out, baby. And to think you told me you were conservative in bed.” He slides the drawer open wider, pulls out the giant pink dildo, holds it up, and wags it back and forth, smirking. “This is hardly conservative. You could puncture a lung with this monster.”
Busted. From under the sheets, I sigh deeply. “It utilizes both suction and deep vibration to simulate the feeling of lips and tongue.” Kage laughs louder, the bastard.
When I wake up in the morning, I’m alone. Kage is gone. And the cops are pounding on my front door.
“That’s where people go when they need to feel better: home.” “But your home is in New York.” “Home can be a person, too. That’s what you are for me.”
“If I find out you read that somewhere, I’ll shoot you in the face.”
“But you don’t need to go next door. I have clothes for you.” He raises his brows. “You want to see me in one of your dresses? And you say you’re not kinky.” “No! I mean I have guy stuff for you. Big-guy stuff.

“Don’t worry, buddy. Mommy has an unloaded shotgun she can wave around and probably scare an intruder away with.” Sloane pulls the cork from the wine bottle. “And Auntie Sloane has a snubnose .357 Magnum in her boot, which is loaded, so you really shouldn’t worry.”
“His name isn’t David. It’s Damon. And he’s still alive.”
I leave without another word. When I return an hour later, her house is in total shambles, and she’s gone.
“You noticed! Was it my boobs that gave it away?” His gaze drops briefly to my chest. Then he meets my eyes again. “Yes.”
Ah, Russian gangsters. Such a trusting group of fellows. I just want to pinch their cute rosy cheeks.
