doesn’t care who brought me into this world—I’m hers.”
Tears joined the water on Eva’s cheeks. She didn’t know what to say to that. She understood Ginny’s theory. It was a man’s world and a woman just had to find her place in it. The time with Mox had her praying she’d found her place. “She’s amazing.”
“She is. I’d do anything for her.”
The conviction in his voice sent a little chill down her spine and a twinge to her heart. Would she ever inspire that kind of devotion?
Chapter ~ 10
She knew she looked lewd, sprawled over a mound of pillows in the center of their king size bed, but Eva couldn’t find the strength to move. She smiled into the comforter. Mox stopped at the foot of the bed, fresh from the shower. She yelped when he gave her ass a hearty smack, even though she’d been anticipating it.
“If you’re going to keep seducing me like this, we really need to talk about birth control,” he said with a chuckle.
“I’m on the shot,” she assured him with a yawn.
He frowned, rubbing the top of his head. “I don’t know much about it. How long does the shot last?”
She smiled. He was adorable.
“I need them every twelve weeks. I just got one two weeks ago, so I’m free to seduce you to my heart’s content.”
He gave her a lecherous eyebrow waggle and dug a shirt out of the dresser drawer.
“Are you going to be a good girl today?”
“Yes, sir,” she said, still smiling.
“Good. I don’t want you running away.”
Eva rolled over at the serious tone creeping into their morning play. She chose her next words carefully. “I like it here with you.”
His head cocked to the side, pale eyes narrowing slightly. She wasn’t expecting his one word reply.
“Why?”
“Why? Because you treat me like a princess, and the sex is amazing.”
Mox snorted in disbelief.
“I haven’t found a woman yet that more than tolerates me in bed. Amazing might be pushing it.”
Eva bit her lip at the bitterness in his voice. Rocco was the extent of her experience. Was she missing something? What were other women looking for? Foreplay with Rocco had always been one-sided. Mox had already explored more of her body than the Italian ever had. Where Mox had unintentionally caused her pain in an act of passion, Rocco was cruel, downright sadistic at times. She shook her head and shrugged softly. “It takes two. Maybe they weren’t right for you.”
The corner of his lips twitched as he pulled on work clothes. “I’m the common denominator.”
“You told me I didn’t deserve to be treated that way. Why do you?”
Mox paused with his t-shirt half on. He stared at her for a moment, and she wondered if she’d pushed him too far. Gathering her courage, she scooted off the bed and reached up to help him with the shirt. He grinned when she rolled it down over his chest. Smoothing the material, she smiled back at him and took her best shot.
“You’re a sweet and sexy man. You deserve a woman that realizes how good she has it with you. I’m going to do my damnedest to be that woman.”
His hand came up to cup her cheek as he searched her face. His thumb traced over her bottom lip before he lowered his head and kissed her thoroughly.
“I’m going to hold you to that.”
Eva slammed the refrigerator door with a petulant sigh. Where the hell was it? She’d searched the cupboards top to bottom. What was meatloaf without onion? She knew she’d bought one. Blowing a rogue strand of hair out of her face, she leaned against the island. She’d already started mixing the meat and eggs. She didn’t have a choice. If she waited until Mox got home, dinner would be late. After the previous day’s fuckups, that wasn’t going to fly.
Ginny had mentioned that there was a small grocery store right here in town. Trinity Falls wasn’t that big. Surely it was within walking distance. She bit her lip. Shoving off the island, she reluctantly moved to the large window
