close to accurately describing what I had just experienced. Never before had a man cared so much about driving me to the brink of satisfaction; they had always been too interested in their own release.
Corey’s arms scooped up my limp body and started walking towards his bedroom. “Come on Sweets, let’s go lay you down.”
“You’re putting me to sleep?” A wicked-sexy grin lit up his face as he shook his head.
“Baby, we’re nowhere near done yet.” My stomach muscles contracted and I wondered how in the world I could possibly be ready to go again. But as he laid me down I caught a glimpse of that sexy as sin body, and the heartmelting smile that went along with it. That’s when I had my answer. Corey was the total package and while this might only last for a little while before I went back home, I knew I was going to enjoy every minute of it.
A Complete Mess
“I’m beginning to trip over all the glass slippers you’re leaving behind, Cinderella.” Corey said as he watched me slide my jeans over my hips into place.
“What?” I asked through a smile. “Are you telling me I need to clean up after myself?” I pulled my black tank top over my bra and tugged it into the right places. He laughed and hoisted himself off his bed and pulled on a pair of black sweatpants. It didn’t escape my attention that he was commando under those. I had half a mind to rip them off and start again—if I thought my body could possibly handle another round.
“No, that’s not at all what I’m trying to say.”
“What are you trying to say then?” Corey moved next to me and scooped me up into his arms making me squeal.
“I’m saying you don’t have to run on home. That maybe if you ask real nice I’ll let you stay the night.” He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on my lips. I couldn’t deny how great it felt to have his arms wrapped tight around my spent body. It felt even better to have my arms wrapped around his neck, staring deep into those incredible blue eyes.
“I’m not going to stay the night.”
Corey’s smile quickly dropped but his brow went up in question. “Why not?”
“Because staying the night says more about what this is than I want.” My chest tightened at my words. I could deny it all I wanted but I knew deep down I wanted to be there—I just couldn’t trust myself.
“No, it might also say it’s midnight and you don’t want to take a cab back this late.”
Corey’s tone was even but his eyes were pleading with me.
“I went home much later the first time.”
“Yeah, well that’s different.”
“Not really.” I placed a kiss on his lips and forced my legs down from his grasp.
“You’re really going to go home right now?”
“Not right now. The cab isn’t here yet.”
“Don’t take a cab; let me drive you home.” “You’ve been drinking, Corey.”
“Dani—“ He was desperately trying to find ways to keep me around longer. I couldn’t let him know just how tempting the idea was but that went against everything I wanted—hot, sweaty, un-attached sex. Everything was great as it was, but staying overnight, even if just for one night, would mess up everything. Lines would blur. Emotions would come into play. That wasn’t what I needed anymore. What I needed was exactly what I had, regardless of what I wanted. I loved this and I had no doubt if I gave in too much this incredible man would turn into none other than a certified toad just like the rest of my ‘Prince Charming’s had.
“I’m calling a cab but I will see you later.”
He blew out a defeated sigh, pulling a shirt over his perfectly sculpted chest. What a shame.
“At least let me pay for it this time, Dani.”
I shook my head before the words were out.“I don’t need you to pay for me. I can just as well take care of myself.” With my purse hanging on my shoulder I headed for the door. Corey’s strong arms suddenly were linked around my waist, in a vice like grip. The only way I was getting away from him was when he decided I could.
“Why do you feel the need to be this independent, Danielle? It’s okay to let others take care of you sometimes.”
The words hit a nerve. Without knowing anything else about me he managed to guess part of my past
