right now, I need to know
about that damn ring and what you plan to do about it.” Morgan
leaned back against the rim of the tub and smiled. The man was even
more pushy about it than she thought he would be, but she wasn't too
surprised.
“Nothing,
Angel. I plan to do nothing.” He didn't answer her, it wasn't
what he wanted to hear, so she continued. “Who proposes with a
secret letter, and a Man in Black? It's ridiculous and I'm not
playing the game. You have to understand that much, right?”
She twirled her hair in one finger as she stared at the ceiling. She
sighed at the huff she heard on the other end.
“Okay,
forget the way it was done... even though I think that shit was
fuckin' slick, and just tell me which one you think it is.”
Angel cared mostly about what Morgan's feelings were, and not who she
thought had sent it, but he had to start somewhere with prying the
information from her. Morgan thought about her words before handing
them over, then came up with the perfect answer.
“I
think it was either Finlay, Tanner, or Sean. There, that's as close
as I can get to an answer.” Angel stood to his feet, and
Morgan could hear his shoes clicking against Gio's marble floor.
“What
if your plan works, Sticky? What if the one who sent it gives in,
and calls you... today? What then?” Morgan stopped twirling
and looked at her painted pink toenails that were barely above the
water's surface at the end of the tub. She took a deep breath, and
began to answer honestly.
“That
depends.... I guess. If it were..”
“Morgan?
Can I come in?” Ian's sexy voice sounded from outside the
door, and Morgan moved the phone to her chest to tell him that she
needed a moment.
“He's
back, I'll call you later.” She kissed a few times into the
phone, but Angel didn't return them.
“Your
ass better call me, I can't take this shit much longer. Love you.”
He ended the call, and Morgan stared at her phone for a few moments
until she put it down beside the tub.
“Yes,
you may,” she answered the handsome man on the other side of
the door and within seconds, he was knelt down beside the tub and
reaching across her body for a wash cloth.
“May
I do this too?” he asked, pouring a generous amount of vanilla
scented body wash onto the light yellow cloth. Morgan nodded, then
gathered her long hair from her neck and brought it around one
shoulder, then sat up and leaned forward a bit so Ian could wash her
back.
His
sensual cleansing led to a whole afternoon of foreplay, their only
interruption came when Morgan's stomach insisted it be fed. Their
evening was full of relieving the sexual tension they'd brought upon
each other all morning. The man wasn't shy about sex, which was one
thing that made Morgan's job even easier.

Tanner
texted me. I won't jump to conclusions, but he asked if there was
'anything new' going on. I know, it's a simple question and maybe I'm
reading too much into it..but there is still a possibility he's
wanting me to say I got a suspicious ring delivered to me, gee, do
you know who it's from? Morgan sighed and shoved her phone back
into her pocket after sending a text to her Brazilian friend. It was
true, Tanner had texted her. It ran through Morgan's mind again. Hey,
beautiful. How've you been? Anything new happen? “It's an
innocent question, I'm losing my mind. Stop this.” Morgan shook
her head, then made her way into the kitchen to find something to
eat. What she settled on though was another cup of coffee.
Ian
was gone for the morning again, but Morgan was thankful he had things
to attend to. Her morning text from Tan Man had really hit home with
her and she would have to figure out a way to deal with it. If it had
been just a simple question from one friend to another, then she
could write back that nothing was new and she was doing well. But if
he was the one who sent the ring and she were to write the same
message, he would be hurt for not bringing it up, or suggesting
