My loves! What a day! I finished writing Lockdown, so it's fully written and will continue posting without interruption through this summer!
It's also my last day of school, and I'm heading out immediately for a flight, so busy busy day, but there is ALWAYS time for some Lockdown!
Thanks to Fran S. Sunflower and Danidarlingxx.

"Parents?"
I glance up at him from my Guess Who board. I found one when we went to the store that was The Office version, and to my immense relief, Edward laughed as soon as I pulled it out. We've been sitting, playing games for hours. It's been surprisingly fun, and it's nice to realize that beyond being unbelievably hot, he's also pretty fucking funny and interesting.
"Divorced," I tell him. "Dad is in Washington. He's a cop," I pause, glancing up at him. His eyebrows raise slightly. "Mom is in Florida, last I heard, chasing around her next Sugar Daddy, I'm sure."
I roll my eyes, and Edward barks out a surprised laugh. "Siblings?"
I shake my head. "Nope, an only child." I look at him. "Are they ever manager or acting manager?"
Edward smirks. "Yup."
I frown and look at my board. Really, it doesn't help all that much. I flip a few tiles down, but there are still far too many options.
"Ex-girlfriends?" I ask, looking up at him. I pause, tilting my head and biting my lip. "Or boyfriends?"
Edward barks out another surprised laugh. "Sorry to disappoint, but only a handful of ex-girlfriends. None of whom are all that interesting, story-wise." His eyes flicker down to his board, and I take the opportunity to stare at him. He's almost annoyingly attractive, and even more so in person. His lashes are long, dark, and fanned over his high cheeks, and when he's thinking, his tongue slips out, playing with his bottom lip. It's unbelievably distracting.
"Have they ever had sex in the office?" Edward asks, his bright, fern green eyes catching me off guard.
I swallow heavily, and for a moment, I'm too stunned to even process his question. When it finally sinks in, I blink and look down at my board. "Oh, um." I pause, my throat tight, my heart racing. I stare at my board, trying to remember anything about these characters.
"Yes," I croak, looking back up at him. He smirks. It's not a helpful question. Anyone who has seen the show knows just about every character has had sex there at some point. I feel like he's asked it for one reason and one reason only.
Suddenly, it feels like it's a thousand degrees in here, and I pull my hair up off my neck, wishing I had a hair tie. Edward's eyes flicker to my throat, and a flush runs through me, deep and wanting.
A breathy moan slips past my lips. It's a sound that would horrify me if anyone else heard it, but I can see it turning him on. He shifts, his eyes slightly tightening as they meet mine. I'm biting my lip, and the more turned on I am, the harder my teeth bite into my flesh. It's almost painful.
Edward's eyes move to my mouth, and his own tongue comes out, swiping across his lips. I know he wants to taste me as much as I want to taste him.
I'm about to cave, crawl across this space between us and lay into him when a loud shout breaks the moment. Both Edward and I look toward the windows, but we're near the front of the house.
"Son of a bitch!" I can hear Emmett shouting. I frown, scrambling to my feet as I race down the hall, dipping into Alice and Jasper's room to look out the window. Everyone is in the yard, and it looks like they were doing yoga, but Emmett has obviously overdone it. Everyone seems to be laughing, so I don't think he's hurt, and I smirk, letting out a shaky breath.
When I return to our game, it's with a slightly clearer head and a stronger resolve to behave.
So you all know, she does NOT know he is her Duck Dealer, but that is coming, much sooner than you might think!
Okay loves, everything on Facebook is automated, and my phone is loaded with the chapters to upload, so things should be going without any hitch this weekend. I'll see you tomorrow, as usual to wrap the week up!
