had the lights off, so it was all too easy for his hands to shift from my waist to my breast.
"Stop it," I whispered at him, fighting a smile.
"Stop what?" He kissed the exposed skin of my neck.
"Stop staring at me while I eat." I gave him a pointed look. "It's weird."
Kody's grin just spread wide. "Stop licking that spoon like how I want you to lick my dick, and I'll stop watching."
"Both of you stop it," Archer snapped. "I feel fucking creepy watching Keanu Reeves while my dick is hard."
"Agreed," Steele added.
Kody just grinned and playfully kissed my neck, right over one of the dark marks Archer had left littered across my skin, which made me shudder.
"Quit it," Archer growled when I squirmed in Kody's lap.
I exchanged an amused look with Kody, but we were both smart enough to know when Archer was no longer kidding around. My lady-bits were already hurting enough; I definitely didn't need to be spanked on top of that.
Or did I...
Archer caught my eye in the glow from the TV, and I shifted in Kody's lap. Nope, no, I really didn't. Maybe tomorrow, but definitely not tonight.
We watched the movie in silence for a while, but Kody couldn't seem to sit still if his life depended on it. He didn't even seem to notice what he was doing as his fingers traced patterns over my skin or his lips brushed gentle kisses over my neck. It was almost like he was just letting his subconscious take the reins for a bit.
The fact that his subconscious just wanted to touch me constantly? Total bonus in my book.
"Babe," he whispered in my ear somewhere around the climax of the movie, where the hero was shooting people left, right, and center while acting totally impervious to bullets himself.
"Hmm?" I turned slightly to give him my attention and found myself just an inch from his face.
His lips twitched in a playful smile. "Can I sleep in your bed tonight?"
I groaned and bit my lip. "Just sleep? I'm sore as hell."
Kody's eyes were wicked, and he pecked a kiss on my lips. "You love the pain." Damn him, he was so right. I smothered a laugh by tucking my face into his neck. "I'll be gentle."
"Bullshit," I whispered with a snicker. He didn't deny it, but his hand found the gap between my T-shirt and sweats, and he stroked the skin there.
"So, can I?"
"You know you can," I murmured back, tipping my head back to meet his eyes. "You don't need permission."
His eyes brightened. "I'll remember that."
"Pretty sure we need a fucking schedule or something," Steele grumbled from the sofa, clearly having overheard us. "This first-in, first-served bullshit is making me all paranoid and desperate."
"What's new there, bro?" Archer teased, and Steele retaliated by whacking him in the face with a pillow.
Kody took the opportunity of their distraction to kiss me properly. His mouth moved against mine, and his tongue traced the seam of my lips, demanding entry.
A small moan escaped my throat as his tongue explored my mouth and his hands kneaded the flesh of my waist. If I wasn't careful, our movie night was going to have a whole different rating.
Thunder crashed outside, and I startled, breaking away from Kody's kiss. It hadn't even been raining earlier, but with a thunder crack that loud, it was bound to start soon.
My pulse raced, my love of storms burning through me as I looked to the windows. Sure enough, a second later the clouds opened up and the steady, white-noise sound of rain filled the house. One of the most calming sounds in the world.
"You guys wanna watch another movie?" Steele asked as the credits rolled on the one we'd been watching.
"Nah," I said, settling back into Kody's embrace with a happy sigh. "Let's just chill and listen to the storm."
"You and Archer are cut from the same damn cloth, babe," Kody told me with a laugh. "I've never met anyone who loves rain as much as he does."
Archer and I shared a grin through the darkness. How strangely appropriate for us, then.
The credits finished rolling, and the TV went dark. Now, the only light in the room came from flashes of lightning flickering across the sky outside the windows. It was romantic as hell.
"I'm going to grab drinks," Archer announced. "If we're all hanging out in the dark, we can at least get a bit drunk."
That... sounded equally fantastic and dangerous. We'd call it a team bonding moment.
I
