Epilogue: The Dark Duet Read Free Page A

my mouth around her
     puckered nipple. I sucked on her greedily. I moaned loud and gripped her harder
     when her cry hit the air and her hands held on to my head, pulling me closer.

    Somewhere in my lust-addled head I knew
     the situation wasn’t ideal. As sexy as a Gallardo Superleggera is, it’s
     incredibly cramped and certainly wasn’t conducive to the all-out fuck-fest I had
     in mind. It took every ounce of self-control I didn’t possess to pull myself
     away from Livvie’s delicious nipple.

    It was harder not to go back to it when
     I got a good look at Livvie upon pulling away. Her body was tilted at an angle,
     with her head against the door, and her dress was pushed to the side to expose
     one of her breasts. Her nipple was hard and wet from my mouth. Livvie’s
     lipstick deserved an award because it had surprisingly stayed on her lips and
     wasn’t smeared all over her face.

    “Let me take you home, Livvie. Please.
     I can’t stand being this close to you and not being inside you for one more
     fucking second.” I put myself out there. I let her know exactly what my
     intentions were.

    She was slow to catch her breath. Her
     dark brown eyes looked on me with lust, but also with what seemed to be a
     myriad of other emotions.

    “What’s wrong? I know you want this as
     much as I do.” I tried not to sound annoyed, but it’s next to impossible not to
     sound like an asshole when my dick is hard enough to pound nails and I’m
     expected to have higher brain function.

    Livvie eyed me warily. Sadly, it was an
     expression I’d come to know very well in our time together. She could probably
     tell I was annoyed and it was scaring her. Carefully, she set about adjusting
     her dress and slipping her breast back into it. She couldn’t seem to stop
     fidgeting, and with every movement it became obvious she was pondering her next
     actions.

    Then, with her gorgeous tits no longer
     in view and her racy dress smoothed down to reflect a more demure appearance,
     she spoke.

    “I want to ask
     you a few questions, Caleb, and I need for you to be completely honest with me.
     Can you do that?” She looked toward me with her sad brown eyes.

    She had me in a precarious position and
     I was willing to do whatever it would take to make her happy again. I wanted
     the opportunity to taste Livvie’s happy tears again.

    “Ask me
     anything you really want to know. But only if you think you can handle the
     answer.” I couldn’t stress my point enough. She couldn’t ask me for honesty and
     then hate me for following the rules. Well, she could —but it’s a shitty thing to do to a person.

    “Okay,” she said resolutely. “You drive
     and I’ll ask my questions.”

    I raised a disbelieving brow.

    “Wouldn’t it be
     easier to ask me now, when I don’t have to navigate in traffic? And where
     exactly do you want me to take you?”

    Livvie smiled coyly and it made my
     chest ache. She could be such a tease sometimes.

    “I want you
     distracted, Caleb. I don’t want to give you the chance to shape your version of
     the truth. You’re far too good at half-truths. Just drive around and I’ll tell
     you when to stop. Stay in the city—no rural roads.” She reached for her harness
     and strapped herself in.

    I didn’t know if I was offended or
     impressed, but I decided to go with the more agreeable of the two.

    “Don’t trust
     me?” I asked and smiled. She’d always been a fan of my smile.

    “To a point,” she replied smoothly. “I
     trust you enough to get in your car, but you can’t blame me for being cautious.”

    I could feel my face and neck getting
     hot. I wasn’t immune to my guilt. I felt guilty for a lot of things where
     Livvie was concerned and she was right. She was entitled to much more than
     caution. I cleared my throat to break through the tension. I adjusted myself as
     surreptitiously as possible, put on my harness, and started the car.

    “Whoa!” Livvie
