Maddox had brushed his fingers over the marks left on
my body, touching my past, lingering over the jagged and

she didn’t deserve anything less.

because he thought Riley wasn’t ready yet after the fiasco
with Jasper. They were doing everything else, except sex –
well, a home run. Riley did say they were on third base.
She spared me the explicit details except she mentioned
