Would he be upset with my news? I brushed the front of my dress nervously and walked around the corner to greet him. “I’m right here. I’ve missed you.”
His jeans hugged his hips tightly, and his black t-shirt left little to the imagination on how well he took care of his body. Our fight before he left a month ago was more than forgotten as I walked across the room and crashed into him.
Strong fingers sunk into my hair, winding around the strands and pulling tightly as he kissed me with a fierceness I could only conjure up in my dreams.
“I’ve missed you so much,” he licked my lips and ran his free hand down my back to cup my ass. “I think I need to find a local gig. T
his traveling away from you isn’t going to work the way I thought it would.”
“Life’s too short to spend it apart.” I ran my fingers down the back of his hair and molded myself against his body, kissing him a few more times until the room grew faint.
“You keep licking at my mouth, and we’re not eating whatever’s making that heavenly smell.”
“What are we eating then?” I purred and licked at his mouth again.
He chuckled low in his chest and moved out of my arms, putting his bag down by the TV. “How about we spend the evening eating each other, and then I’ll fuck you real good from behind like you like?”
My body hummed with energy. One of the best parts about moving in together had been the ability to constantly explore each other – any time we wanted to.
“I like it.” I bit my lip as he winked and walked toward the bedroom. “Dinner will be ready in fifteen minutes, and I have some big news.”
“Me too. I’ll be out in just a minute,” his voice was muffled as he closed the bedroom door.
The ache between my legs was equal to the stiffness of my nipples. I wanted him all over me, but first… I needed to tell him my news. He’s been so good with me every time something new had come up over the last year, especially regarding my parents.
My Dad was still dead set against Harley and me being together, but my Mom had accepted the idea when we moved in together.
It was a different life, a different world.
Needing to grow up and remind my Dad that I was grown, I rejected his firm’s offer upon graduation from Harvard a few months before and decided to work at a competing firm. It was nothing against my Dad, but rather the need to start making a life of my own.
“Where you at?” Harley’s voice pulled me from my thoughts.
“In here.” I reached for the knife and finished dicing up various items for a salad.
“Smells so good.” He moved up behind me, sliding his strong hands up my side and cupping my breasts as he ground against me. “Feel that? I can’t even walk into a damn room with you and not get a hard-on. You’re going to be the death of me.”
I rolled my hips a little and laughed. “You probably say that to all the girls you guard.”
He chuckled and moved around me, grabbing a carrot. “Only boy bodies for me now, and to be honest, this last guy was a total asshat. How someone can act like they own the world and still have fans is a mystery to me.”
“Want a beer?” I walked to the fridge and got two out.
“I need a beer.” He lifted his hands, and I turned and tossed one to him.
“He was that bad, hmmm?”
“Yep. There’s only one person I’ve had to work with before that was worse. The girl just wouldn’t relent. Throwing her panties at me, pretending to want to learn self-defense so she could grind against my cock.” He shook his head and lifted the beer to his perfect lips as his eyes filled with merriment. “It was a little embarrassing.”
“Someone I know?” I took a sip of my water bottle I had by the stove and put it down, moving over to him and sliding my hands up his strong chest. “Anyone hitting on my man should be put down.”
“Like a sick animal at the vet?” He lifted his eyebrow.
“Yep. And it should be painful.” I molded myself to the front of him.
“Ouch!” He laughed and cupped my ass, rocking against me. “You’re so jealous all of a sudden. Can I tell you that I like it?”
“You can tell me anything.” I pulled him down for a long kiss, sucking on his tongue softly as our sweet moment quickly morphed into both of us panting, needy for more. “Dinner can wait.”
