you.”
“Are you out of your fucking mind?”
JB threw up his hands in defense. “Don’t worry, I checked her for weapons, she’s clean. The guys were getting really worked up waiting for their turns with the other two. I told her to sleep on the floor.”
JB nodded to the makeshift pallet on the floor. “Maybe she got too cold. Damn, it’s an icebox in here.” JB wrapped his arms around himself and rubbed.
“I don’t give a damn what you thought.”
“We found some expensive-ass-looking jewels in her trunks. We have to keep her. She’s got to be valuable.”
Kane shook his head. “She can’t stay here. Lock her in one of the unused cabins.”
“You mean one of the cabins everyone has access to? Think about it for a minute. If she’s rich—and judging from the size of her jewelry, she’s loaded—we need her. You keep saying how we need one really big score to go somewhere remote and live normal lives. This can be it, Kane. I have a good feeling about this.”
He raked an irritated gaze to the creature in his bed. If he put her in one of the other cabins, the men might pursue her. All four of them. If she was as valuable as JB thought, it might be worth his while to keep her out of harm’s way.
“Do you want me to make her get on the floor?” JB asked. “I can tie her to the bed or something if that’ll make you feel safe.” He held back a chuckle.
The day he was scared of a princess was the day he might as well turn himself back in to the Galontaers and get out of this business altogether.
“If she wants to stay alive, I’m sure I won’t have any trouble out of her.”
“Good, because I have business to finish.”
Kane noticed he wasn’t the only one dealing with a massive hard-on. JB shifted from foot to foot, adjusting and readjusting his crotch.
“We’ll talk about her sleeping arrangements in the morning,” Kane said, dismissing his friend before JB burst right in front of him. “The other two are all right?” he asked as JB turned to leave.
“Oh yeah, they’re a handful.” JB grinned and pointed to the scratches.
Whatever , Kane thought. Nodding curtly, he dismissed JB again.
Kane turned back to the female as his door closed. At some point during the conversation, she had put her arms stiffly to her sides. Her gaze was still locked on the ceiling. He had no doubt shocked her real good. But she could have stopped him.
Right now he needed to find some release for his purple member. Going back to Jess’ cabin was out of the question, especially since she had told him she was through with him. Actually she had screamed it, right after she had begged him to spend the night and he chose to leave. The screaming had been followed by flying boots aimed directly at his head.
What would have been the reason for staying with Jess? He hadn’t been able to keep it up anyway. A problem he had been plagued with since Anna’s death. The guilt of losing his wife always surfaced during sex, causing him to go limp within minutes of beginning.
The only way he could ever finish was with his hand. Hell, he was surprised Jess had put up with him and his performance issues for as long as she had. But truth was, their relationship had run its course.
Kane let out a huff and walked into the bathroom and closed the door. He had business to take care of. He grasped his cock and closed his eyes, pumping hard and fast. He wasn’t going for anything but relief. His swollen cock erupted after less than three minutes.
Satisfied, he left the bathroom, bypassed his nice big comfortable bed and lay on the makeshift pallet JB had made for her. He planned to fall asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Wrong again. The eerily quiet room kept him awake.
Is that thing in my bed going to strangle me while I sleep?
He was going to fuck JB up in the morning. As tired as he was, he now had to keep one eye open because of it .
She shifted and settled in his comfortable bed while he lay on the
