feel of him. Not that I minded, I liked it when he got a little rough.
    He pulled back and looked at me with serious eyes. “Promise me you’ll be careful.
    “As careful as usual,” I quipped.
    “Muriel, I’m serious. Don’t do anything foolish.”
    “Who me?” I said widening my eyes innocently and laughing at the pained look on his face. “Fine, I promise. No going to Hell or kicking demon ass by myself. Happy?”
    “No, which is why I’m having David stay here while I’m gone.”
    “Is this your way of getting me to come around to the idea of inviting him into a threesome?”
    “No, this is my way of keeping you safe and out of trouble.”
    “What? I don’t need David keeping an eye on me. I’m a big girl. I can take care of myself.”
    “Just humor me, please. It’ll make me feel better if David’s close by. Promise me, you’ll use him if you need him.” Auric’s eyes and tone were bland, making me even more suspicious. He was up to something. Something I probably wouldn’t like.
    “I’m not making any more promises. David can walk me to and from work so long as he behaves and doesn’t get in my way.”
    “David’s going to be sleeping on the couch. You need someone to wake you from the nightmare. He’s also here to protect you and if you don’t listen to him, he’s got my permission to spank you.”
    “David wouldn’t,” I said assuredly.
    “He will if he doesn’t want me to geld him when I get back,” Auric said his eyes glowing with menace. I shivered, instantly aroused. What could I say, he was hot when he got all bad boy.
    “I don’t suppose he can cook?” I asked hopefully.
    Auric grinned. “Not like I can, baby. Don’t worry he’s a master at ordering in, unless you want fresh meat, then he’s your man.”
    I thought of some poor fluffy bunny being brought to me like a cat brings a bird to its owner and grimaced. “Ugh. No thank you. I’ll stick to frozen dinners and take out, thank you very much. Do you really have to go?”
    “It’s only for a few days,” Auric said wrapping his arms around me one last time.
    “I’ve got a lead on something I’ve been looking into.”
    “This isn’t too dangerous is it?” I asked suspiciously.
    “Nope. Piece of cake,” he said. But I couldn’t see his eyes, and I wondered if he told the truth.
    I grabbed him by the hair and dragged his mouth down to mine, my tongue slipping between his lips to dance with his. Large hands reached down to cup my ass cheeks and squeeze them, and I pressed myself into him, feeling his erection pressing against my lower belly.
    “Let’s go for one more quickie,” I panted.
    Of course, that’s when the knock sounded. Auric tore his lips away from mine and with a chagrined look said. “I’ll be back before you know it. I love you, Muriel. No matter what. Remember that.”
    “I love you, too,” I said as he grabbed his backpack and headed for the door. I saw him exchange a few words with David who had arrived to baby sit me. Then he left.
    I watched from the window as he and Christopher headed away—from me.
    Something about the conversation hadn’t seemed right. But at least with him gone, he wouldn’t be bugging me about a threesome.
    Looking at David prowling the loft I shared with Auric though I only wondered how I’d stop myself from thinking–make that fantasizing–about it. That’s when the light bulb went off and I realized Auric’s devious plan. With him gone and David underfoot, he hoped I’d change my mind about it. Get to know David and fall in lust with him and ultimately agree to the decision to let David put his sausage in my bun. Not likely. I’d sew it shut first.
    “Okay, first off,” I said deciding to establish my own set of ground rules. “You are not sleeping here.”
    “Yes, I am,” said David crossing muscular arms over his chest.
    “Listen Auric’s going overboard with this whole protection bit.” I wouldn’t let on that I’d figured out the
