onto two legs as I leaned down over her and she gasped in surprise.
She grabbed my forearms to steady herself and the skirt of her dress fell back to pool around her waist as I tipped her further, revealing those little lace panties she’d put on so casually. Like she didn’t know I’d be aching to destroy them and rip them right back off again the moment I laid eyes on her in them.
“Nicoli,” she gasped as I tipped her so far back that the chair was practically lying flat and the only thing stopping it from falling to the floor was my hold on the arms.
“Lean back, baby doll, look at the view,” I murmured, watching her as she tipped her head back, scarlet hair spilling over the back of the chair and hanging down to brush the floor as she took in the view beyond the glass upside down. “There’s a whole world out there waiting for you.”
“The only thing I want is right here with me,” she breathed and I was pretty sure I’d never get enough of the sound of her voice. It was low and sultry, effortlessly seductive and always sounded like she’d just woken up after a night spent naked and panting in my arms.
I leaned down and dropped my mouth to her neck, running my tongue down her bare skin until I found the neckline of her dress. She moaned in encouragement, releasing my arm for a moment so that she could tug her dress lower, freeing the mound of her breast and the perfect peak of her hardened nipple.
I growled with desire as I captured it between my lips, sucking and teasing, holding her there in the chair so close to falling while still safe in my arms.
Her hand fell back against my arm as she moaned again, scrawling her fingertip over my sleeve as she traced out a single word over and over.
More. More. More.
Fuck, I didn’t think I’d ever get over the feeling of her writing that on my body. I hoped she never stopped, even when words came as easy as breathing to her, I hoped she’d still trace that word on my flesh whenever she was hungry for me.
I sucked her nipple harder, my dick swelling until it was rock hard and desperate to escape my fly. My teeth grazed her flesh and she cried out in pleasure, her grip on me tightening so that her fingernails dug in.
A loud knock came from the door behind us and I stilled for a moment as Winter sat up, looking at me with concern as I quickly decided to ignore whoever the fuck it was.
“They’ll go away,” I assured her, dipping my mouth to her breast once more just as the knocking came again.
I growled as I continued to ignore it, biting down on her nipple as they knocked again and causing her to cry out, though the way her thighs parted promised me it wasn’t in pain.
I mentally started cursing whoever the fuck was here now, trying to ignore them as they continued to pound on the wood when all of a sudden, the elevator dinged to announce someone else arriving.
I straightened instantly, slamming Winter’s chair legs back down on the carpet and yanking her dress back up to cover her breast as her eyes widened in alarm.
“Christ, Nicoli, aren’t you going to answer that?” a woman’s voice came from behind me and I fell deathly still as I recognised her.
Winter’s eyes widened like she could sense the tension in me already and I swiped a hand over my face as I forced myself to turn and look at Sloan Calabresi as she carried a car seat into the apartment and placed it on the floor before hurrying to open the door for whoever the fuck was still out there knocking. No, not Calabresi, Romero now. I’d gotten the messages from Rocco asking me to come back for the wedding. And the one telling me they’d had a baby girl and named her River. Shit.
A blur of white fur rushed towards me and I grinned as I dropped to my knees and Sloan’s little Pomeranian Coco leapt into my arms, licking my face like crazy the moment he could get close. I made a complete ass of myself as I made a fuss of him before setting him loose so that he could tear around the apartment and sniff everything, no doubt realising another dog had been here recently.
Who’s
