The Four Leaf

“You know what I think, Sam? I think you like it when I chase you. And even more so when I find you.”

“No one touches you, Bambi. Not without your consent.” Adrian nods to Willow, who smiles and starts making what I assume is his regular drink. He turns to the side and places one forearm on the bar and the other hand on the back of my chair. His hazel eyes burn a trail up my frame until he reaches my face, to which he grins. “And I’m the only one who gets to massage your feet.”

“Once I find you, there’s no going back. It will change everything. So I advise you to choose your spot wisely, Bambi.”

She will be my greatest hunt yet, and if I have it my way, she’ll be my last.

“I need you to know something, Bambi. I’ve waited a long time for this. I won’t be sweet, soft, or anything remotely close to gentle. This will be years of pent-up desire, unleashed in a way that will leave you a fucking mess. Are you sure this is what you want?”

“You’re so fucking gorgeous, and I…” he trails off, falling to his knees. “Am fucking starving.”
