wake you up and have a heart-to-heart in the middle of the night. But then I heard something and I couldn’t stop myself.”
Her eyes widen. “Heard what?”
I dip my chin and give her a look of my own. “What do you think I heard?”
“I don’t know,” she whispers.
“Oh, I think you do.” With my fingers threaded through her long, tangled, sleep-messed hair, I pull her to me and give her a proper good morning. This is done for a couple of reasons. One, because it gets her mind off being embarrassed about me hearing her masturbating last night. And two, because I can’t seem to resist kissing her every chance I get now that I have her in my arms.
“I can’t get enough of you,” I say against her lips and I feel her smile right before she dives in for more.
She turns her head, going in for a different angle and I love that she’s bold. That she’s taking what she wants. And I love even more that what she wants seems to be me. Fuck, I wish I would have grown a pair years ago and gone for it with her. I’m an idiot.
“I know the feeling. I knew I’d love kissing you, but I had no idea it’d be this good.” Her words are a direct shot straight to my dick and damn if I don’t want to stand up, throw her back on the table, and take her right here.
With her in my lap, pressing her delectable ass right against me, I can’t stop myself from getting hard. She feels it and wiggles on top of me until she’s straddling my lap, gyrating and grinding against me.
“Keep doing that and I’m going to make some incredibly irresponsible choices right here in your backyard where anyone could see or hear.”
“I don’t care.”
“I do. Because as I told you last night, I don’t share, and that includes anyone seeing any part of you that you told me last night was mine.”
“Wow. Who knew you’d be so alpha.”
I give her an incredulous look because, really? Like she didn’t know. I’ve been protective of her most of our lives. She wrinkles her nose and twists her lips as if to say, oops, my bad. But I remind her of the bigger reason why we can’t have our wicked way with each other right here. “But, especially since Zoey could walk out here any moment.”
“Damn.”
“Forgot you had a daughter sleeping inside the house for a second, did you?”
“No,” she says, grinning. “I just forgot that she has the ability to get herself out of bed and has eyes that can see and a brain that can compute those things that she sees.”
“Last night I made you practically shout in a new language when I made you come. Now my dick is making you forget normal life all together. Wow, I’m pretty magical.”
Addy rolls her gorgeous eyes and slides off my lap, unfortunately. But it’s necessary. I wasn’t joking when I said I was about to take her right here and now. I didn’t think my want for her could get stronger but it has. That taste of her sparked something within me and now I’m ravenous for her. It took me over an hour to fall asleep last night without her in my arms after having her for the first time.
“You’re so cocky.”
“You just felt that so yeah, I think we both know I’m cocky.” I wink and she takes a deep breath.
“What have I gotten myself into?”
“A lifetime.”
She sucks in a breath and tears instantly flood her eyes.
“You like that.”
Her hair slips over her shoulders when she shakes her head. “No. I love that.”
“Not as much as I do.”
“I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree on that one.” She takes a sip of her coffee and over the rim of her cup, she says, “We’re gushing.”
“Yeah. And it’s not going to be the last time, either. I don’t give a fuck if I sound like a pussy. I spent too many years not telling you how I feel and I have a lot of making up to do.”
“I’m okay with that.”
We hear Zoey holler for us and Addy moves to stand. I capture her hand and pull her down, kissing her lips. “I want to tell her as soon as you think she can handle it but not a second before. She’s our priority.”
“And here I didn’t think I could want you more,” she says, kissing me with
