His mouth came to mine, lips stil turned up in a sexy smile, eyes open, gaze soft as it locked on mine.
I found I was holding my breath when he murmured,
“That’s what I thought.” He touched my lips with his, pul ed his head back a fraction and, stil smiling, he finished,
“Good to know you’re not gonna take the fun out of it, babe.”
Now what the hel did that mean?
No, no. I didn’t want to know.
Chapter Five
I Get It
Indy
“Come back to bed,” Lee said.
I looked away from the window to see Lee on his side, head in hand, in bed, the sheet down to his waist. I knew he was na**d under the sheet and I knew what that na**d looked like.
At the thought of it, I started to feel warm al over.
Hmm.
I walked to the bed and sat on the side.
“I don’t like it,” I told him.
“I don’t care. It’s decided,” he replied.
Boy, he was bossy. After al our time together, nearly a year, I hadn’t been able to get the bossy out of him. It was likely I never would. It was also likely I would never stop trying.
I made another attempt. “Maybe we should talk –” He moved. Quickly.
Hands at my waist, he twisted, taking me over his body, rol ing us both to the other side and I ended up on my back, Lee mostly on top of me.
“It’s decided,” he repeated.
“You didn’t ask –” I started.
“Listen to me, honey,” he said softly but his voice was determined. “I got the choice of puttin’ on a f**kin’ suit in a coupla weeks in order to meet you at the end of an aisle or maybe puttin’ on a suit to stand by your coffin. I pick the first.”
Okay, he had a point there. I picked the first too.
“How do the other boys feel about this decision?” I asked.
“Ecstatic. None of us particularly enjoyed the shot at, kidnapped, beat up portions of the Rock Chick Experience the first time around. We’re not fired up for a repeat performance.”
Okay, he had a point there too.
“Al right,” I said.
At my unusual y easy capitulation, he smiled at me. I stared.
He had a great smile. After a lifetime of witnessing that smile (which I had, his parents were best friends with my parents, I’d known him since I was born) I was stil ready for another lifetime.
His mouth went to my neck. A shiver ran across my skin.
