“If you’re awake…”
Electricity shot straight to my doo-da.
“I could sleep,” I lied, settling back down, already two-thirds of the way to completely turned on.
His hand stayed where it was but it didn’t move with intent and he pul ed me deeper into him.
Surprisingly, after a few minutes, I slept.
* * * * *
I woke up, happy and warm—For about two seconds, then I catapulted straight to freaked out. I was curled around Eddie who was on his back. He had one arm wrapped around me and the other hand resting in the middle of his chest, very close to where my face was.
I looked up to see if he was awake, my cheek sliding on his chest and I saw he was asleep, eyes closed, face relaxed.
I’d never seen him looking like that.
He was a cool, badass guy when awake, always exuding a certain somewhat dangerous magnetic energy. In sleep, he was somehow even more hot, more attractive, more magnetic and definitely more dangerous.
It total y freaked me out and I thought I was already total y freaked out.
I started to move away, his arm tightened, he rol ed into me and half on me. His head came up, his eyes opened and he looked at me.
“Hey,” I said, for lack of anything else to say.
His eyes were sleepy but his lips formed a half smile.
He didn’t answer my “hey”, instead, his hand came up and he ran his fingers through the hair at my temple, his eyes watching his hand move through my hair. Then it curled and his knuckles ran along my jaw.
“Payback time,” he murmured, his hand cupping my jaw, his thumb running along my bottom lip, his eyes stil watching his movements.
“Pardon?” I asked, out of my freak out and firmly established in an Eddie Daze.
His face disappeared into my neck.
“Yesterday, I took care of you. Today, we both get what we want,” he said against my ear. Then he pressed his h*ps against me and I knew exactly what it was he wanted because I felt it against my leg.
My heart skipped a couple of times and stuttered to a halt.
I felt his tongue touch below my ear and I shivered.
Okay, well , whatever. So, I was going to sleep with Eddie. So, he’d probably break my heart. Worse things had happened to me, right?
I ran my hands up his back, hooked my leg around his thigh and turned my head to give him more access to my neck.
Then I saw the time on my alarm clock and froze.
“Holy shit!”
I tried to knife up but Eddie’s weight was on me so instead, I hit my forehead against his jaw as he’d felt me tense and lifted his head to look at me.
“Fucking hel ,” he muttered, looking down, “what’s the matter?”
“Have you heard Mom come back?” I asked him.
“No.”
“Get off, get off, getoffgetoffgetoff,” I demanded pushing at him.
