“Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.”
– Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
Chapter 14
Carter
With Harlee wrapped in my arms, her back to my front, her ass nestled perfectly against my groin, I groaned when I heard my phone ringing.
Well, I groaned at that particular ringtone.
Sighing, I carefully extracted my body from Harlee’s, pressed a kiss to the back of her neck, rolled, and tagged my phone.
Seeing Caulson’s name, I answered it and said, “Hello?”
“Hey C-dawg, had a man call out. You want it?”
I pinched the bridge of my nose when I asked, “When would you need me?”
After he told me the details.
I hung up and then curled my body back around Harlee’s.
Intending to get a few more hours of sleep.
However, my woman had other plans.
