Breaking Bro Code (The Line Up #4) - Misti Murphy Page 0,62
Talk to me like a normal person.” Vale flicks his gaze to the ceiling and back to me as Hud prattles on. “Yes, I’ve seen her.”
My breath catches as though I’ve been caught committing a crime. It takes a minute for me to remember that Hud asked Vale to check up on me.
“She’s looking good.” He smirks down at me. On my knees. My face an inch from his erection. “Really good. The sun agrees with her.”
My cheeks and the tops of my boobs heat.
“Yes, she’s looking after herself, Dad.” He strokes a hand through my hair. Knots his fingers in it. “Yes, she’s eating.”
Oh Christ. I slap my palm against his quad and mouth, “I can’t believe you just said that.”
He offers me his hand to lift me off my knees. Wraps his arm around my waist and carries me toward the bed. Tosses me on it like a little rag doll.
“Your sister is a brilliant, self-possessed adult. She’s great. I promise.” He takes a moment to grab the box of condoms we bought at a pharmacy earlier and place them on the nightstand. Motioning to my dress with an up, up, up, he mouths, “Off.”
He doesn’t have to tell me twice. I pull the material over my head, sashay it in front of me teasingly.
He licks his lips as his pupils turn darker. “Damn.”
His eyes widen as he realizes he just said that out loud on the phone to my brother. No doubt Hud thinks he’s hooking up with someone from the undisguisable lust in his tone. He turns his back on me. “No, nothing like that. I just saw a dog on a skateboard… Yeah, that’s real talent… Yes, Lily would love it… Okay, I’ll take her to dinner… Every week while I’m here? I can handle that… Why aren’t I complaining? Is there any point? You’re going to ear bend me into submission anyway… No, there’s nothing going on between us. I swear. Gotta go… I’ll talk to you later.”
“That was hard.” He exhales as he comes around the bed to place his phone on the nightstand. “Pretending that I’m not smitten with you and wanting to spend all my time with you. Do you think he could tell?”
“I think he probably thought you were with someone.” I tug him onto the bed and straddle his lap. “But me? How could he possibly know?”
“We’re going to have to be careful.” He cups my cheek. Clicks his tongue. “I don’t like lying to him.”
“It’s just for now though, right? Until we’re certain.” I wriggle against his erection. I want to sink onto that hard length. Patience is not my strong suit. I know what I want in this bedroom and in this relationship. I would shout my feelings out loud from the bartop of Line ‘Em Up back in Chicago if I knew he was on board.
“Just until we’re established,” Vale tells me. “And you’re sure this is what you want.”
“This is what I want.” I press my forehead to his. I’m not the one I’m worried about.
“Okay,” he says, like he’s releasing a breath he was holding.
“I want you inside me,” I say, rolling my pelvis so that his erection hits my favorite spot as I collect one of the foil packets.
He takes it from me and tears the corner with his teeth so that he can slide the latex over Goliath. “Come here.”
I ease down on his cock. Let him stretch and fill me. It feels so right. Better when he kisses me. Perfect when we start to move together. It’s in the way we fit. It’s in our rhythm. It’s the slow and strong buildup that starts deep in my core.
There is nowhere I would rather be than in his arms, watching him watch me as we get closer to our own little slice of Heaven. Seeing how much he wants me written in his gaze. If I ever thought this crush was going to go away, I was fooling myself.
My orgasm doesn’t so much creep up on me as crash through me like a drug. It makes me dizzy and my vision goes black. My muscles go slack.
He follows me through it as I collapse on his chest. Pumps his own climax into me with a roar. Tightens his arms around me like he’s never going to let go.
And that’s just fine with me.
