I sigh. “I meant what I said though, that I want it to be just us, no one else. You agree with that?”
 
 She’s silent for a while. I begin to think she isn't going to answer. “Yeah, babe, I’ll agree to that. Onzo wanted to start things up again. I said no.”
 
 I stiffen at her words—anger forming coiling inside me like a snake.
 
 “Relax Dec. I said no, Onzo and I are done.”
 
 I exhale deeply and make myself relax. I need to trust her. “Okay, baby. Thank you for telling me.”
 
 “You're welcome.” She says softly.
 
 I nestle further into her. She must be able to feel me against her bottom, still hard, but not as hard as before.
 
 “You need release, Big Guy?”
 
 “Nah, I'm good. Go to sleep. It's late.”
 
 She yawns and does a little stretch, Christ she’s cute. “Kay, night Dec.”
 
 “Night Soph, sweet dreams.”
 
 I hold her in my arms until I feel her body relax as she goes into sleep, not sure what is happening between us. Now, not only is it sex, it’s exclusive sex. She's getting to me. I don't want to admit it but she is; the trouble is I don't know what the hell to do about it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Chapter Thirteen
 
 Sophie
 
 What a week...another week of shagging the hottest guy I have ever seen. It has been a week of exhaustion, soreness, and lack of time, but it also has been a week of me with a big smile that you can't wipe off my face. He is amazing. He said he hadn't had sex for years, but boy is he making up for it now. Sometimes, with our shifts, him working at the fire station and me working at the track and pub, we barely see each other - but even if we only have half an hour he will fit it in - in more ways than one.
 
 I lean over my mirror and put my finishing touches to my eye makeup. Girls night out tonight, but get this, Jack’s having a boy’s night, and Dec is going! Henevergoes out with them. It’s because I'm going, I think. It's still casual between us two – exclusive but casual - but seeing as I’ve been at work all day and he has the night off - I think some drunken sex is on the cards. A girl can hope. I can't seem to get enough of him.
 
 I grab the things I need for my handbag, sliding a couple of condoms in the zip pocket, just in case.
 
 The door opens ajar as he gives a casual knock. “You decent?” I hear his deep voice.
 
 I snort. “Like you'd care anyway, but yeah, come in.”
