Dirty Little Secrets CHAPTER 52
There was nothing wrong with putting a bit of OPI on your toes while watching Ocean’s Eleven on a Friday night. But paying someone else to paint my nails? Come on.“This is utterly ridiculous.” I stood up from the chair with my newly cut, blow-dried, salon-soft hair and ran my fingers through it.“Mhmm.” Leah looked at me. “Looks like you’re hating it.”I sighed and dropped my hand. “Can we go now?”“No. Conor told me I have to keep you here until . . .” She glanced at the clock. “Three o’clock. So another two hours.”I grunted and sat in the pedicure chair next to her. After another awkward night sharing a bed and waking up in his arms, I decided this morning that I was sleeping in my own bed tonight.Alone.“And why am I being kicked out of my own house?”Leah shrugged. “I don’t know, Chloe. He just said to keep you away until three, and since he’s paying, I’m all for it.”“Did you even try to find out?”“I did. He started ignoring me after, like, the tenth time I asked. I think he

Leah choked in an attempt to hide her laugh. Only because she knew exactly what I was doing.So maybe flirting with the security was a little underhanded and immature, but Conor wanted to fuck with the media. That was exactly what I was doing . . . with the added bonus of fucking with him, too.Two can play this game.“You aren’t from around here, are you?” I asked him.“Chloe.” Ajay said my name sharply, a warning in it.“I’m making conversation. You expect me to sit here for almost an hour and not talk to anyone? I certainly ain’t talkin’ to these pains in the ass.” I nodded toward the paparazzi.One got a little too close, and Ajay stepped forward threateningly. The photographer didn’t move, and I could see the camera lens in my peripheral vision.“I hope you got a strap on that thing, because if it ain’t out of my face in the next ten seconds you’ll be pickin’ it up off the floor,” I snapped.He scuttled back and I glared at the line. Nobody moved aside from a scuffle in the back,

“What—why?” I breathed, my eyes filling with tears.I turned to look at him. He shrugged, taking a deep breath and looking around.“Because,” was all he said again.“No, goddammit, Conor! Tell me why!”“I wanted it to feel like home,” he finally said. “I wanted you and Milka to have your own spaces, somewhere you could chill. Your dad’s stuff is packed in the garage for when you’re ready to sort through it.”I swallowed and looked around the room again.“I wanted you to have a place to be Chloe.”I spinned into him and grabbed him. I pushed my lips up against his, sliding my hands into his hair. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me against him.Our lips moved together slowly but firmly. I let my tongue flick against his bottom lip. The simple movement flipped a switch, and the kiss became deeper, his fingers digging into my hips a little harder.We both stepped back towards the bed at the same time, our feet tangling, and we fell back. He leaned over me, breathing heavily,

This was more, because I could feel it buzzing through me.“Conor.” My name fell from her lips in a whispered plea.Fuck.Chloe droppee her legs and reached down to remove her panties. I leaned up on my hands as she did and looked down, watching her slide the lace over her legs. She kicked them off and snapped the waistband of my boxers.“Please.”“Shit.” I practically yanked my underwear off and pushed her up the bed.She gasped into my mouth when I kissed her hard, and I let my tongue fall between her lips. She lifted her legs, opening them wide, and scraped her nails down my sides.Her hand sneaked between us and she wrapped her fingers around my throbbing cock, bringing me closer to her wet pussy.I didn’t need another fucking invitation.I covered one of her ass cheeks with my hand and tilted her hips up. Slowly I pushed into her, feeling her muscles clench around me as I entered her fully. She gasped, a tiny, high-pitched sound at the end of it, and twined her fingers deep into

“Why? Because she had your kid? You really think she’s gonna stick around, Con? She didn’t before. She didn’t give a fuck then. What makes you think she will this time?”Bray grabbed my arm as my fist swung back. “Whoa. Aiden, out of line, man.”“I’m just looking out for him.” Aiden said it to Bray, but his eyes were fixed on mine. “The twins might be happy to watch her hurt you again, Con, but I ain’t gonna do it.”He was baiting me and I fucking knew it. I was shaking with anger, because fuck. No one gets to talk about Chloe that way. No. One.“Pipe the hell down, dickhead,” Titus said calmly, stepping between us and pushing Aiden back. “Chloe’s the mother of that little girl you’ve spent the last few days on the beach with. Like Mom said, we don’t have to like her much right now, but we’ll respect her. That means even when she ain’t around. If you can’t talk civilly about her, don’t say a damn word.”“Next time I won’t stop him,” Bray warned him. “I’ve got half a mind to let him at

“Toys in the box,” he bargained, holding the packet up where she couldn’t reach it.Milka pouted.“Nope.” He shook his head. “Put some away. I’ll help you. Here.” He threw the candy in my lap and wrestled Milka to the floor.She giggled loudly followed by a shriek when he tickled her sides. My lips twitched in amusement. I licked my lips to hide it but failed. Damn, it was not tidying, but she was on cloud nine.“Dadda, no, no, no,” Milka shrieked through her high-pitched laughs.“Yeah, Dadda, thought you were tidying?”Conor stopped and looked up at me. “Eh, I prefer the fun stuff.”“You’re not getting the candy until you pick up.” I crossed my arms, the packet in my hand.Conor grabbed two toys. He handed one to Milka and they both chunked them in the direction of the toy box. “There,” he said. “Picked up.”“Honestly? That’s your idea of tidying?”“Yep. Now give me the candy.” He gets on all fours and makes a swipe for it.I got up and skipped away, dangling the candy over my head.

He blinked and turned his face towards mine. His expression was completely blank for a moment, then his lips twitched at one side. “Yep.”“It doesn’t count if you only just decided.”“Who said I just decided?”“The vacant look on your face.”“I was surprised you asked.”“Of course I asked. I’m a female. Why do you think you can get things past me?”“Oh, shut up.” He pushed me down by the shoulders. “Just yes or no, princess. It’s not a hard question.”“You never asked me a question!”“I—” He shut his mouth. “Fine. Chloe, will you go to dinner with me tonight, please?”I chewed the inside of my lip. I wasn’t being flippant about last time. And although our trip to the store was relatively uneventful, unless you count the magazine cover of us kissing the next day, I was still wary.While the media vultures were not as obsessive as they were before Dirty J.’s manager confirmed the “story,” they were still watching us like hawks in case we bring Milka out. As it was, we ferried her betwee
Dirty Little Secrets CHAPTER 59
Oh, hell.She drew in a sharp breath at my words.My true words. We both knew it. The more we used to argue, the more desperate and rough our inevitable make-up sex was. The angrier we were, the tighter we were wound, the more we needed the release.Sex wasn’t a problem solver, but it always paved the way for us to settle things. They were always settled naked and cuddling, but they were still settled.The issue with now was that there was so much tension and so many unspoken words that both of us were wounded tightly all the time. At least I was. There wasn’t a second where I didn’t want to grab her and kiss her, just because I needed some of that frustration to disintegrate against her sweet mouth.But that ends tonight. The unspoken words will no longer be unspoken. We had a thousand things we needed to say that will only end explosively if we talked in private. I knew us so well.Despite Milka, despite the time passed, we were still us.We were just buried beneath a bunch of bulls
