Maid For Beckett Catching The Baseball Legend’s Heart novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167

1 lay bride And in the calito darksen of the room, harening to the soft rhythm of her breathing.

It was two in the torting, and I stand have been deep in deep by now. My body had been running on caffeine and energy drinks all day I had been tosung and marking the night before, the thought of Andi sleeping in the room next to mine bothering me more than 1 len on yet my borly hard refused to shut off. Every nerve in me was still lit up, too alive, too aware of the beautifal raked worm sleeping beside me

Andi had fallen asleep just seconds after her fifth release rolled through her. One second, she was trembling against me; the next, the was out, her lashes kissed her fished cheeks, her lips parted in soft breaths, and her breathing became even and dow. A soft wore escaped her. That made me uile.

She was completely worn out, well fucked, and I would take all the credit for that.

At some point between our coupling, we had moved from the couch to the bedroom. I couldn’t remember exactly when. I just know that my body burned with uncontained happiness. Now the low glow of the bedside lamp cast a warm light across the room, softening the lines of Andi’s face, painting her cheeks in a rosy hue that made something ache behind my

sternum.

She was finally mine, and everyone knew that by now. I still couldn’t believe it.

Maybe that was the real reason sleep won’t come my way. Not the exhaustion, not the adrenaline still coasting through my veins, but the fear. This gnawing terror that if I closed my eyes, I’d wake up and find her gone. That this would turn out to be one more dream I’d have to peel myself out of in the morning.

I had spent so long convincing myself I could live with just the memories. That if Andi asked me to let her go, leave her alone, I would do it even if it breaks my heart into pieces. I was prepared to set her free. And now here she was, buck naked, sleeping beside me, and my chest was so full I didn’t know what to do with it.

To add to that, she promised not to run away from me again. I know promises were made to be broken, but my heart wanted to hold on to her words, despite this fear pumping through my veins.

I had finally drifted off to sleep when my phone vibrated on the bedside table, jolting me out of bed.

I groaned and willed my phone to stop vibrating on the wooden table.

Everyone in my circle knew the rules when I was on the road. All calls will be rerouted to Siobhan, no exceptions except for my family, of course.

I reached for the phone without looking at the screen and pressed it to my ear, groaning an annoyed “what do you need,” with my eyes still closed.

“Whoa, did I just cockblock you?” Cole’s chirpy voice at 2 am made my ears ring.

I know that we could be in a different time zone right now, but I don’t appreciate his tone, his call, his entire personality, period.

“You have two seconds to tell me what the fuck you want or I’m hanging up,” I fired, keeping the volume of my voice in check. I had to keep in mind that Andi was here beside me, and if this conversation goes on, I might need to vacate my spot on the bed.

Cole, being Cole, found my annoyance a comedy to entertain himself. He chuckled loudly. Its sound filled the line loud enough to fill the room. I released another grunt, ready to end the call when he spoke. “I got

news.”

“I don’t care,” I snapped.

“Even if it involves your girlfriend’s boyfriend?” he played with words just to vex me further

I sighed and pushed off the bed in my birthday suit. The cool air from the air conditioner made my skin tingle Pay irritation with my cousin was stronger than my need for clothing. I stepped out of the room. hissing at Cole. “Wizar? I swear if this is another one of your games, I will find you and kill you, Ercole”

“Alright, alright, Mr. Grumpy Pants. We found Miguel,” he said, all hints of teasing vanishing from his voice

“That son of a bitch?” I gasped, fully awake now. I found the remnants of my heated night with Andi on the couch My clothes were still there, and I found my boxers beside the door. I picked it up, wedging the phone between my car and shoulder as I pulled it on.

“Yeah,” Cole grumbled. “That motherfucker gave me a run for my money.”

“How did you find him?” I wanted to know. Cole has ways of finding people faster than the police do, and it took him almost a week to find Miguel.

“I paid a bounty hunter,” I can hear the pursing of his lips. “I will punch in your bill once we get what we need from that fucker,”

I don’t care about the money. I could triple Cole’s bill if he wanted to. All I want is to make sure Andi is safe, and finding Miguel is the key to that.
