Chapter Three

Lucian: Hey, thief, is Sarah around your house?

Olivia: I told you to leave her with me.

We could be having a lot of fun—and she wouldn’t be trying to escape.

Lucian: That doesn’t answer my question, is she with you?

Olivia: I wouldn’t know.

I’m not at home.

Lucian: Let me go look for her.

Olivia: That’s a great idea.

Look for your dog, and don’t bother me.

But maybe you should just give her to me.

I can keep an eye on her.

Lucian: Are you aware that your fence is .

. . a bit broken? Is this part of the charm but old as fuck look in your home?

Olivia: What do you mean my fence is broken?

Lucian: Attaching the image of the half-fallen fence right about now .

. .

Olivia: What happened to it?

Was that your dog?

Lucian: So now we’re blaming me for the fence too?

Olivia: Where is Sarah?

Lucian: Just because she’s in your backyard, it doesn’t mean she’s at fault.

Olivia: She broke it, didn’t she?

Lucian: No, she didn’t.

She’s jumped that fence multiple times and has never done any damage.

Olivia: Have you considered hiring a trainer?

Lucian: I have a great coach.

Have you seen the headlines?

I’m the best running back in the league.

Olivia: I’m so not amused by your response.

Lucian: Who hurt you, Olivia?

Olivia: Excuse me?

Lucian: It seems like you have, or should I say: You lack of sense of humor.

I thought it was me, but I’m starting to believe that you have .

. . issues.

Olivia: I don’t have fucking issues.

You’re my current problem, Lucian Crawford.

Lucian: Tell me more, I’m a great listener.

Olivia: What are you talking about?

Lucian: We’re trying to figure out why you’re so unhappy with your life.

Just so you know, my rates are high, but you and I .

. . we can come to an agreement.

:wink: emoji

Olivia: You and I aren’t coming to anything.

Lucian: Oh, but we can.

I can make you come hard and loud if you allow it, and .

. . maybe that’s all you need.

Someone to give you a couple of good orgasms to level up.

Lucian: Think about it.

No stress, no overcomplicating things—just you, me, and a little relief.

I bet you’d sleep like a baby after.

Olivia: Wow. So generous of you.

Truly, a selfless act.

Too bad I’m not interested in being your charity case—or your stress relief.

Lucian: So, you admit it.

You have problems, but you don’t want me to fix them for you.

Olivia: I admitted no such thing.

Lucian: You did. In writing.

I have receipts.

Olivia: You also have a dog who thinks my backyard is her personal vacation home.

Lucian: She has excellent taste.

And so do I.

Olivia: Is this where you start trying to be charming?

Lucian: Oh, sweetheart.

I’ve been charming. You’re just trying really hard not to notice.

Olivia: I would notice if you weren’t failing.

I’m totally unmoved.

Lucian: For now.

Olivia: Forever.

Lucian: Big words for someone who types so fast when I text.

Olivia: I have a strong urge to block you.

Lucian: That would require admitting I’m getting to you.

Can’t have that, huh?

Olivia: Your ego is a beast. I’d rather wrestle a crocodile.

Lucian: I bet I could make you beg.

Olivia: For you to shut up?

Probably.

Lucian: For something else.

Olivia: Your delusions are next-level.

Lucian: You sure?

Olivia: Positive.

Lucian: Then explain why your breathing just changed.

Olivia: My what?

Lucian: You’re flustered.

Even through text, I can feel it.

You’re picturing it, aren’t you?

Olivia: I’m not liking this exchange at all.

Lucian: Nah, you love this.

You love how I get under your skin.

How I make you squirm.

Olivia: You are so .

. .

Lucian: Detailed?

Explicit? Capable?

Olivia: Infuriating.

Lucian: Sure . . . but your fingers haven’t stopped typing.

What’s that about, Doc?

Olivia: You need a hobby.

Lucian: I just found one.

Charming you. And I’m getting really, really good at it.

Olivia: Congratulations.

You win the gold medal for being a pain in my ass.

And what you call *charm* is more like an annoyance.

Lucian: Gold medals are nice, but I’d rather do something else with your ass .

. . your mouth, your cunt.

I’m good at it. Really good.

Olivia: I walked into that one, didn’t I?

Lucian: Oh, sweetheart.

You didn’t just walk—you ran straight into it.

Full speed. No hesitation.

Olivia: You’re disgusting.

Lucian: Not disgusting, dirty.

I can prove it to you.

Tell me when and what you like the most. I’ll deliver.

Olivia: I like when people leave me the fuck alone.

Stop texting me—and fix my fence.

Lucian: Liar, you like me.

Olivia: Seriously, do you ever stop?

Lucian: Not until I get what I want.

Olivia: And what exactly do you want, Lucian?

Lucian: You. Spread out, gasping my name, wrecked and satisfied because I made you feel better than anyone ever has.

Lucian: You there, Liv?

Ready to beg for it?

Olivia: I refuse to dignify that with a response.

(Throws phone against the wall and plans another change of zip code)

Lucian: You don’t need to.

I know exactly what you’re thinking about now.

Olivia: That you’re a menace to society?

Lucian: That you’re wondering if I really could make you come undone.

Wondering if you want my mouth in your cunt or my fingers inside your ass while I’m fucking you with my big cock.

Lucian: Babe, are you there?

Olivia: Don’t call me babe.

Lucian: Why? Because it makes you feel things?

It makes you feel like mine?

Olivia: Because it’s annoying, more so when we don’t know each other at all.

Lucian: You know what else is annoying?

That you’re still pretending my texts aren’t getting to you.

That you’re not soaking wet and ready for me.

Olivia: Oh my God. You’re insufferable.

Lucian: And yet, you haven’t stopped texting me.

Olivia: I have something to tend in the clinic, get lost, Lucian Crawford and .

. . fix my fence.

Lucian: I’ll see you when you’re back home.

If you need my hands or mouth, just text, they’re ready for you.
