Chapter 125

• Hayley
• Knox doesn’t lean away until he’s sure I won’t say anything else. Opening the shower door, he kicks his pants off, and I help him with his shirt. He carries me into the hot stream of blissful shower water that stains red the moment it touches me.
• “I never want you to think you’ve ruined anything.” Knox sets me on the deep ledge intended for bath products but empty except for a small bottle of soap. This place is severely lacking, but I don’t need much as long as whatever is in that clear bottle cleanses my skin of tonight. “You’re lucky it was me you said that to, vixen. Monroe would spank you if he knew you assumed we weren’t still going to change La Vega. Because we are. This doesn’t change our plans. It doesn’t even change the timeframe we’re hoping for. We’re not alone. Tatum, Govan, and Walcott are all there running things on our behalf.”
