    Summary

    Chrissy sighs and stretches again. This time one strap fall off her shoulder. Eddie loses count of her freckles when she says, "Maybe we can trade?"

    "What do you have that I'd trade my stock?" His heart pounds in his ears because Chrissy smiles like some feral cat.

    “Me."

    -
    When Chrissy offers her body as a means to pay for drugs who is Eddie to say no?

    Summary

    “I was hoping you’d loosen up enough to tell me why you wound up here,” he shrugged. “I mean, of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine. And I can tell you wanna talk about it. You’ve got me on the edge of my seat, here, princess.”

     

    “It’s Chrissy,” she said again, wondering if maybe he hadn’t heard her through his tirade before.

     

    Eddie grinned, making something dangerously close to butterflies suddenly take flight in her stomach. “Yeah. I know.”

    This isn’t the start.

    This is the long and resonant climax.

    Summary

    "Come on, princess,” Eddie coaxes. “Don’t you want to get in that big comfy bed of yours?”

    “I wanna get in your big comfy bed.”

    He takes a deep breath. “Alright.” If that’s what it takes. “You can have my bed tonight if you really want. I’ll take the couch.”

    She whirls then, poking him in the chest. “Are you being purposef’lly obtuse, Munson?”

    “No?”

    The hand that poked him has changed tactics, instead rubbing circles on the section of t-shirt visible through his open jacket. She lulls him like that, like an apiarist uses smoke to pacify their bees. Eddie blinks, and her hands are in his jacket, shoving it off of him. It falls to the hall floor with a soft sound.

    You wouldn’t think a bit of leather makes that much of a difference in one’s overall state of dress. He’s still got his shirt, his jeans and underwear, socks and shoes; a flannel is tied around his waist, and yet, he suddenly feels much, much more vulnerable.

    And Chrissy Cunningham, the devil, with a sweet smile turning up the corners of her mouth, says in a dreamy voice, “I would really like to fuck you.”

    Eddie just about expires on the spot.

    Summary

    “Remember when I said I wanted you to…  To start, while I was still asleep?”

     

    Swear to Christ, his brain flatlined.  Fully empty for a long, sputtering moment.  Television static interrupted by the faint outline of Chrissy’s naked, sleeping form in his imagination.

     

    “Uhhh.”  Fuck.  “Are you—  Like, you’re sure?”

     

    “Please?” she pleaded, so fucking quiet and desperate.  He felt her squirming beside him, and he was point-two seconds away from sticking his hand down her shorts.  “Please, Eddie?”

     

    “I’d be an idiot if I denied you anything, princess.”
