Secrets Worth Keeping (Finding my Home #2)- Nikita Parmenter Page 0,97

sit facing him, so my ass is between his legs on the beam and my legs are wrapped around him.

“Damn dude” Cash says from beneath us and Luc smirks.

He pulls me closer and heat blazes to life, making his brown eyes smoulder, his lips a hairs breadth away from mine.

“If you’re flexible enough, Firecracker, I can put you into all sorts of positions I can garun-fucking-tee you have never been in before” he growls smirking when my breath leaves me in soft a moan.

He kisses me hard and fast his lips caressing mine in a kiss that has my whole body tingling, and trying to get closer to his. My breath stalling as his skilled tongue tangles with mine.

“Dude normally I don’t give a fuck but could you not kiss her like that when you’re that far up in the fucking air” Atlas groans, making me and Luc pull apart.

Luc doesn’t take his eyes off of me as he extends his arm and sticks up his middle finger at Atlas. Making me giggle and the guys scoff.

I glance down and Atlas smirks at me.

“Come on then Firecracker, I guess we should get some decorating done, here” Luc says as he hands me a separate reel of lights that I hadn’t noticed before.

I take them and then scoot backwards along the beam and slowly get to my feet, not as comfortable up here as he is. When I finally get back onto the other beam I turn back to him.

“Oh Luc,” I wait until he looks at me before continuing, “I can’t wait to show you just how flexible I am” I smirk as his eyes widen and he steps towards me along his beam.

“Not whilst you’re up there!” Trick yells from the ground, “I don’t think the rest of us can handle it” he adds and I burst out laughing.

“Fine, assholes” Luc says smirking and shoots me a wink.

I giggle and start to wrap the lights around the beam I’m stood on, being careful about where I’m stepping, so I don’t fall. After about ten minutes I start to realise that no matter where I go, Riot follows beneath me his eyes still never leaving me.

It really is sweet but wanting to mess with him a bit, and hoping I can still pull this off, sober me wouldn’t even try since it’s been that long since I’ve done it, I hold my hands out to the sides and wink at him, he opens his mouth but it’s too late, I do a forward roll along the beam managing to pop back up to standing on the other end.

Still got it!

I grin down at Riot and he sends me a disapproving look but can’t quite hide the amusement in his eyes or the smile playing around his lips.

“Alright Sunshine, you’ve made your point. Hurry up and finish so you can get down here and I can stop panicking you’re going to fall” he chuckles and I smile.

I carry on down the beam and it doesn’t take me long until I’m wrapping the final string of lights around a short beam in the corner of the room. I stretch up on my tip toes and just as I finally manage to hook it around the thing, my foot slips and sends me careening backwards. I let out a squeak of surprise and hear it echoed by several shouts of concern from the guys as I prepare myself to land in a painful heap on the floor.

I close my eyes in preparation but instead I land with an ompff in Riot’s arms. He smirks down at me although I can see his pulse racing in his neck, I scared him.

“Thank you, Riot” I say softly my heart still pounding far too fast as the rest of the guys surround us making sure I’m ok.

“Anytime Sunshine, I told you I’ll always catch you” he smiles as he gently puts me back on my feet and I pull him down for a quick thank you kiss.

“Probably shouldn’t drink and climb” I shrug and his eyes widen in realisation as he grabs his glass, which he had the forethought to put on a table before he grabbed me and downs the entire contents shaking his head but grinning at me.

“You’ve been drinking?” Atlas asks incredulously from behind me.

I turn to face him as Riot wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me back against his firm chest.

“Duh dude, what did you think was in my
