“I gotta go do something and I want you to wait here for me.”
“Maybe I should –” I began but he shook his head.
“I want you to wait here for me.”
“Knight –”
“Anya, you aren’t gettin’ this but two weeks ago when you walked into my bedroom to use my phone, the life you been livin’ which isn’t all that good got better. A f**kuva lot better. Because I’m gonna make it that way. And in return, I’m gonna ask very little of you. And right now, all I’m askin’ is for you to hang here until I come home so I can spend more time with you since I’m probably not gonna see you again for another week.”
He was going to make my life better.
Oh God.
Oh my.
Oh crap.
He was right. He already had. Expensive phones. Safe apartment. Saved costs of a taxi. Succulent steaks. My girls enduring a scene and getting VIP vouchers and escorts to their car to try to make it better.
“Shit car, babe. Gotta get you something decent.”
Oh God.
He was thinking of buying me a car!
“Anya?”
My body jolted and my eyes focused on him.
“Knight, I don’t know.”
He was three feet away.
Then he wasn’t, his hands were cupping my jaw again and his face was all I could see.
“Babe, eat what you want, drink what you want, watch TV or a movie and just wait for me. All I’m askin’ is for your time and, when I get back, your company. And I’m tellin’ you I really want you to give it to me,” he said gently.
God, seriously, he liked me.
And I liked how much he liked me.
Because, call me crazy, I liked him.
“Okay,” I agreed.
I watched from close as his eyes smiled.
My heart squeezed and my lips parted.
Then I watched from close as his eyes dropped to my mouth. Then I watched them darken.
At that, my br**sts swelled, my knees got weak and my one free hand came up to grab onto the side of his tee at his waist.
“Fuck, wanna take that mouth,” he muttered like he was talking to himself but I heard him since he was right there with me, looking at my mouth, eyes now dark and hungry and that tingle slid up my spine, my neck, radiating over my scalp as another tingle hit a secret place deep inside me.
Okay, right.
Okay, God.
