“Um, no. You are insane!”
“Then what do I do?”
“You test my patience, I swear. I’ll do it.”
“What?”
“You’re watching my kid. I’ll tell them.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, but I’m not paying you for watching her, for one. And two, you owe me another day.”
Relief floods me, but then it’s followed by a bit of guilt. I did this. Shouldn’t I handle it? “I love you, Luce.”
“You better. But don’t worry, Mom will handle it fine. But Jude and Jayden, woo…that’s gonna be bad.”
“Thanks, really. And I’ll see you in a bit,” I say just as the door opens and Avery pops her head in. Flashing me a quirky grin, she shuts the door, dropping her bag before coming over to the bed as my lips turn up. She looks hot in a pair of jeans and a rocker tee that hangs off her shoulder. There is something about that shoulder that gets me every time. It’s so hot. She’s so hot.
“Okay, I would thank you, but I’m pretty sure I’m helping you more than you are me,” Lucy says.
Climbing the ladder to my bed, Avery crawls over to me, lying on top of me with her chin in the middle of my chest. “You’re right. I love you.”
“Love you more, dumbass.”
Hanging up, I lean down, framing Avery’s face with my hands before kissing her hard against her lips. “Hey, you.”
“Hey,” she says against my lips. “Your girlfriend?”
I chuckle, as she does this a lot. “Jealous Jenna,” I tease and she grins. “My sister. The only girlfriend I have doesn’t like labels.”
Rolling her eyes, she groans, “Jeez, I just walked in, and we are doing this now?”
“Yup, I’m unpausing now.”
“But I want to cuddle,” she complains, squeezing me before she nuzzles her nose against my neck. “Talk later, cuddle now.”
I let out a breath with an eye-roll. “You need to work on your communication skills.”
She gives me a cheeky grin before pressing her lips against mine. Melting against her, I feel like a weak ass. She knows exactly what to do to get my mind off anything else. Her lips are magic like that; I just wish she’d use them to talk instead of driving me wild with lust. Dropping her legs to the sides of my hips, she straddles me in the most delicious way. My fingers bite into her shoulders as she moves against me. I’m hard instantly, and fuck, I want her.
But really, when is there a time I don’t want her? This girl is wild, and sex with her is the best thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. There isn’t a moment I don’t want her or crave her. But I know if I let this go too far, I won’t make it in time to get Angie.
Pulling away, I wrap my arms around her ne
ck, holding her close, her nose pressing into mine.
“I can’t do this right now.”
Her brow quirks. “No?”
“Nope, I’ve got a date.”
That makes her smirk. “Yeah, with me.”
For someone who doesn’t want to categorize shit, she sure is territorial. “I’m watching my niece today. My sister just called and asked.”
“Aw, sweet. So…”
