“I’d never seen Grimm cry before. He was not that kind of man. Allowing himself to unravel before me was one of the greatest signs of how much this man and I shared. How much trust existed between us.”
“I loved the vulnerability that I saw in his face when he allowed me to fuck him in the good ole missionary position. It was my favorite because then I could stare into his face, seeing every rapt look of wonder that crossed his features when I was pushing inside his body.”
“I loved Grimm Buckley more than life.”
“I’d had a crush on Grimm since I met him; then I’d fallen madly in love with him when he bought me my first professional makeup kit, so I’d stop getting breakouts from the cheap stuff.”
“You are mine to protect, Jamie,” I told him fiercely. “For as long as you are here in Smoky Vale, you are under my protection. That means I’ll have to make tough decisions sometimes. I may have to be harsh with my men because if they don’t respect me as a leader, then they’ll want to overthrow everything my family has worked hard to build.”
He knew what his role was here, nothing but a fuck hole. He’d given in to me too many times before not to understand what was at stake. He had come to my bed willingly, offering himself up just the way he knew I liked ’em. Too horny to say no and with too little self-worth not to accept everything that was being done to him without protest.
He was nothing but trash. Sweet, but trash nonetheless. I treated him as such because that was the only thing he knew and responded to. I had no reason to feel guilty about it as we all had our own roles in this life. His was to keep a dick warm.
He was high and dressed slutty like the men in my club liked him: jockstrap that left his ass readily available and a mesh halter top that showed off his toned body. I was never one to judge, but for a hot second, I was irritated at the way he carelessly offered his body around to anybody willing.
“Jamie, I—” He stopped and swallowed, eyes boring into mine. He inhaled deeply and let out the breath on a sigh. “I know,” I told him. “I know, and I feel the same way about you.”
