Eating Her Heart Out

When the song ended, I finally pulled back, and a smug smile curved my mouth at the sight of her pink, swollen lips and passion-glazed eyes. My restraint was being seriously tested, and I wasn’t sure how much longer I could wait before taking her somewhere to be alone.

“Hey, Katie.” A friendly voice sliced through our intimate little bubble, and I glowered at the person interrupting my time with my woman.

However, I smoothed my expression when I spotted the man holding the girl and shooting me death rays from his eyes. I respected his reaction because I was pretty sure that if the situation had been reversed, I’d have knocked out a few of his teeth already.

We turned to face the couple, and I tucked my girl into my side. The small dark-haired woman smiled with genuine affection at Katie, and I decided I liked her, even if her timing was shit.

“Your secret admirer, I presume,” she said with a raised eyebrow in my direction, her dark eyes scrutinizing me.

Katie looked a little like a deer in headlights as she stumbled over her answer. “Well…umm…” She glanced up at me, and I nodded with a wink. She smiled, and her cheeks turned pink. “Actually, yes.”

Katie’s eyes were still on me as she waved a hand toward the couple. “This is Delia and Danny.” Then panic filled her expression before she turned her head to look at them. “This is Sawyer, he’s…um…he’s my…um…”

We hadn’t had a chance to talk about what was happening between us or where we were headed, so I stepped in and made things very clear. “Her boyfriend,” I answered with a smile as I tugged her closer to my body. I kissed the tip of her nose and looked deep into her eyes when I added, “For now.” Katie’s jaw dropped, and she stared up at me with shocked brown orbs that shined with hope.

“Wow,” Delia breathed, and I glanced over to see her fanning herself. “That’s some chemistry you two have,” she teased. “I think maybe I should go grab the fire extinguisher.”

Katie’s cheeks turned pink, but her lips curled into a playful smile. “You’re one to talk, Parker. I distinctly remember you almost burning down the kitchen when you and Danny got ‘distracted’ in the pantry.”

It was Delia’s turn to blush, but before she could say anything, another couple wandered over. “Is this him?” the girl asked, pushing red hair out of her face and scrutinizing me with assessing green eyes.

Katie nodded and laid her head on my shoulder, causing warmth to bloom in my chest and spread throughout my entire body. I’d known that I loved Katie the second I left her behind and realized I couldn’t live without her. But I could only guess at how deep her feelings for me went, so when she snuggled into me and sighed with contentment, my heart threatened to burst through my chest.

“Olivia, Landon”—Katie gestured to the man hovering behind the redhead—“this is Sawyer.”

“Her boyfriend,” I added, staking my claim. I didn’t care that these two guys looked besotted by their women. I wanted to make sure everyone knew she was mine.

“You’re very thoughtful,” Olivia said with a bright smile that widened into a cheeky grin when Landon growled and pulled her back against him. “You could learn a thing or two—” She was cut off when Landon swatted her ass before bending his head and whispering something in her ear. Her face flushed red, and she gave us a jaunty wave. “We have to go, bye!” Then they turned and hurried from the room.

Delia laughed and shook her head. “She’s in so much trouble.”

“How about we get into trouble together?” Danny murmured.

“Nice to meet you, Sawyer,” Delia squeaked before Danny dragged her from the room.

“So…those are my friends.” Katie giggled, her eyes dancing with amusement.

“Why don’t we follow their example?” I asked in a low, raspy tone.

Katie gulped, and her eyes dropped from my face to my groin before bouncing back up. Her cheeks turned a pretty pink that made me wonder if it was a similar color to her pussy. She opened her mouth, then snapped it shut.

With a chuckle, I dropped the arm I had around her to lace our fingers together. “Let’s go somewhere private so we can talk, baby.”

“Oh.” Her expression fell, and I racked my brain to figure out what I’d said that had upset her. “You don’t want…?”

Ah, that was the problem.

I yanked her toward me, plastering her body up against mine. With my free hand, I palmed one of her luscious ass cheeks, pressing her harder against the bulge in my pants. “I very much want,” I growled. Dipping my head, I brought my face inches from hers. “I want to feel every inch of your gorgeous, naked body. I want to trace every dip and crevice with my tongue before I eat your sweet pussy until you scream in ecstasy. I want to feel my cock sliding inside you, fucking you, coming inside you.” I paused and closed my eyes, trying not to give in to the need fraying my control. After a moment, I took a deep breath and met her bright, passionate gaze. “Don’t ever doubt how much I fucking want you, baby.”
