Deal Breakers (Dealing with Love 1)

In reply, Nathan continues spreading his arms and making plane noises.

Riley turns to me. “You ready?”

I nod. “Lead the way.”

RILEY

I TAKE HER INTO the master bedroom. She trails her fingers over the light gray walls and walks across the room to perch herself on the window seat. She tilts her face towards the sun and looks out the window.

She presses her hand on the glass. “Oh, wow! You can see the water from up here.”

I smile. “You like it?”

“I love it, Rye. It’s absolutely perfect.”

I offer my hand to help her stand. “Let me show you the master bath.”

She takes my hand and allows me to lead her into the attached bathroom. She looks around the room from the marble double vanity to the rainhead shower and finally to the deep soaker tub.

She raises her eyebrows suggestively. “A tub built for two. Brings back some good memories.”

“Huh. Look at that. I didn’t even notice.”

She laughs and smacks me playfully. “Right.”

She peeks into the small walk-in closet and steps back into the bedroom.

I shove my hands in my pockets. “So…”

She tucks a hair behind her ear. “So…”

We share a heated glance but don’t say a word. I can’t stand not touching her anymore so I stalk towards her until she backs into the wall. She gasps when I place my hands on her hips and lean over to whisper in her ear.

“You’re not really going to make me sleep in the toilet, are you?”

She chuckles as she wraps her arms around my waist. “Hmm, I haven’t decided yet.”

I place soft kisses down the nape of her neck. “No? Maybe I can help you decide.”

She moans when I pull her against me. “How are you going to do that?”

“I have some ideas…”

She ghosts her hand over my denim-clad erection. “Such as?”

I groan as I press into her palm. “Honey, you keep doing that and I’m about to show you every idea I’ve ever had up against this wall.”

She shivers. “That sounds promising.”

I pull back to look her in the eyes. “You think so?”

She bites her lower lip. “Very much so.”

I smile as I hover over that sexy mouth of hers. I pause for a second, giving her a chance to back out before I press my lips against hers. She responds instantly, opening so I can slide my tongue between her lips. Fuck, she’s so warm and tastes so sweet.

I deepen the kiss, thrusting my tongue inside her mouth as I grind my body against hers. She pulls me into her, practically climbing me like a tree trunk. She keeps making these sexy little whimpers like she’s so hungry for me, she can’t get enough. Desperate to feel her bare skin, I glide my fingertips beneath her shirt and brush the underside of her breast.

She gasps. “Oh, Rye.”
