She sighs. “Because they want me to go to a party with them tonight.”
He’s silent for a beat. “You want me to see if I can get—”
I jump in. “I can stay with Sean tonight if you want to go out.”
They both turn to me. “No, it’s all good,” Paris says.
“Honestly, I don’t mind.”
“You’ve been here all day already,” Paris says. “I’d hate to ask you to stay longer.”
“I’ll make you a deal. If Luke promises to cook pizza for me tomorrow, I’ll look after Sean tonight.”
“Deal,” he says without waiting for Paris.
I narrow my eyes at him. “You just want me to be in your bed when you get home from work.”
He smirks again. “You read my mind so well, baby.” He moves around to where I’m sitting and tilts my chin so he can kiss me. “That and I just like having you here,” he says before leaving us.
“God, he has it bad for you, Callie,” Paris says.
“Good, because I have it worse for him.”
I’m pretty sure I do.
I’m more than sure Luke Hardy is fast becoming the centre of my universe.

Luke
“What time is it?” Callie’s groggy voice filters through the darkness of my bedroom as I settle into the bed next to her.
“Just after four.” I move behind her and pull her into my arms.
She tries to turn and face me, but I hold her in place. Burying my face in her hair, I inhale her scent.
She wiggles. “Luke…”
“Give me a minute, baby.” I’ve been so damn hard for the last hour, unable to stop thinking about the fact she was here waiting for me. I grind my dick against her ass. The fact she was already naked is making it hard not to just sink into her and take what I want.
Her moan fills the room and she pushes back against me. I find her breast and massage it as I kiss a trail along the side of her neck.
“I like coming home to you.”
“I like you coming home.”
I grind against her again. “We should do more of this.”
“That can be arranged.”
/> “Tonight.”
“I can’t tonight.”
“Why?” I know I’m pushing her, but fuck, I need her in my bed as often as I can have her.
She wiggles to turn and I loosen my hold so she can. “Avery wants to take me out to celebrate. She met a writer from a TV show and he wants me to email him after she showed him my book.”
