His head came up and he looked at me just as his hand slid from my ass, up my side, to cup my breast.
“Yeah it does,” he said.
“No, it doesn’t,” I shot back.
He grinned. “It does.”
I frowned. “It doesn’t.”
His thumb slid across my nipple.
It felt so good, my teeth sunk into my lower lip to stop myself from moaning.
His eyes dropped to my mouth. “Oh yeah it does,” he muttered and he sounded pretty effing pleased.
“I take it back, I don’t love you. I think you’re a pain in my ass.”
His body started shaking like he was laughing. “You can’t take it back.”
“I can.”
His mouth touched mine before he said, “Jesus, you’re cute, Kitten.”
“I’m not cute. I’m sultry and sexy,” I returned.
His mouth came back to my mouth, his eyes open and staring into mine, his were both soft and amused and I figured, somewhere in his head, that look was kicking demon ass.
“You’re that too,” he said and did another nipple swipe.
My back arched and my arms wrapped around him.
“Okay, maybe you’re not a pain in my ass.” His head slanted and his lips hit mine, no touch now, he was serious and I knew it when his tongue slid inside.
My body melted under his.
The phone rang.
“Effing hel ,” I muttered against his mouth.
He kissed me quickly, did a push up and he was away. I watched as he walked na**d across the room and I was so lost in my fascination of watching his body move that it didn’t penetrate that it was Hector’s “clean” phone that was ringing.
Then it penetrated.
I shot to sitting on the bed and cried, “Mace!” He had the phone in his hand and was looking at the display when I wrapped the sheet around me and whipped my legs over the side, taking the sheet with me.
Juno woofed in surprise at my swift movements but I didn’t spare her a glance, I was heading toward Mace.
His head came up, his eyes narrow.
I stopped in front of him and he turned the phone to face me.
“Missed cal from Bogey One. Who’s Bogey One?” he asked.
Think fast Stella, my brain screeched.
I came up with an answer. “How should I know? It’s not my phone.”
That’s when the phone beeped in his hand indicating a voicemail had been left.
