She Loves Me (Harmony Pointe #3) - Melissa Foster Page 0,57
had taken quite a while for his erection to deflate. And now the look in Piper’s eyes told him she wasn’t done with him yet. Man, he loved that look. She already had him half-hard again.
“Oh my gosh! Look, Uncle Harley!” Sophie exclaimed, pointing to the missing wall between his closet and the bathroom.
Piper flashed a killer smile and said, “It’s getting there. It won’t be too long before your uncle has a nice big bathroom, with real doors on his man-sized shower.”
“Will it be done before we go back home?” Jolie asked.
They were going back to Delaney’s Friday after school. He would miss having the girls staying with him, but he was definitely looking forward to having some alone time with Piper. Sneaking around was exciting at first, but now it was damn frustrating not to be able to put his hands on her whenever he wanted.
“It probably won’t be done by then because I’m only working on it in the evenings,” Piper said. “But it shouldn’t take long. I’m sure your uncle won’t mind if you come by to see it after it’s done.”
The girls grinned.
“By the way,” Piper said to Harley, “the plumber should be here tomorrow afternoon.”
“Perfect. The girls wanted to say good night before they brushed their teeth.”
“Are you going to work all night?” Sophie asked.
Harley wasn’t about to let her work any later than when the girls went to bed. He needed his Piper time. Their sexting sessions had been a first for him, and while it had filled a gap at a time when he desperately wished she’d stayed over, nothing could replace the feel of his girl in his arms.
Piper shook her head. “No. I’m cleaning up for the night.”
Jolie put her hand on her hip and said, “You should just stay here since you come back in the morning anyway. Uncle Harley can sleep on the couch.”
“Now, there’s a fantastic idea,” Harley said.
“Yes!” Sophie said, bouncing on her toes.
“I can’t,” Piper said, giving him a stern look. “Look how dirty I am. I don’t have clothes or anything here. Besides, I have things to do at my house.”
“Like what?” Sophie asked.
“Well, um . . .” Piper stammered.
“Do you have a dog who needs to be walked?” Sophie asked.
“No, but I have other things to do.” Piper looked at the bucket and said, “Like bringing this drywall down to my truck. Good night, girls. I’ll see you in the morning.”
She glowered at Harley on her way out of the room, and he chuckled. The girls were way better wingmen than Jiggs, who was currently trotting downstairs after Piper.
After the girls were settled in bed, he went in search of Piper and found her in his bathroom closing her toolbox, which was resting on the sink. The bathroom was spotless; the only indication that there was work being done was the missing walls. He set his crutches by the door and put his arms around her from behind, kissing her neck.
“I would have helped you clean up.” He set her toolbox on the floor and put his arms around her again, kissing her shoulder.
“It was my mess,” she said, dismissing his offer.
“Yes, but I could have helped since you’re fixing my bathroom.” He slid his tongue along her neck, loving the way she pressed her ass against him. Thankfully, he’d changed into basketball shorts after work and didn’t have to deal with his zipper pressing uncomfortably against his arousal.
“Did you tell Jolie to ask me to stay over?”
“No,” he whispered next to her ear. “But I love the idea. I miss you.” He dragged his tongue along the shell of her ear and slid his hand up her belly, cupping her breast. He kissed and caressed until she was breathing hard, clinging to the edges of the sink. “What do you say we finish what we started earlier?”
“I haven’t showered.”
“I like the taste of your salty skin.” He sealed his mouth over her neck, sucking hard enough to earn another of those sensual sounds he loved as he unbuttoned and unzipped her jeans.
“What about the girls?”
“Their bedroom doors—and mine—are closed, and my watchdog is sitting in the hall.”
He pulled her jeans and panties down past her knees, and then he brought his mouth to her neck again as he teased between her legs.
“Oh yes,” she said breathily. She put her hand over his, pushing his fingers inside her.
“I love when you show me what you want,” he said against her neck.
