She nodded, eyeing him from under her lashes as if curious about his reaction.
“Declan was it?”
She nodded.
He knew the guy, remembered him. “Are they still together?”
“No. She wouldn’t have him back.” She went on to talk a little more about the circumstances, and Rory could see it preyed on her mind. She was worried for Rowan, upset at the betrayal. “That’s tough. I didn’t know.”
“How could you? You didn’t keep in touch with us.” The rebuke in her voice guilted him. He was pretty sure it was meant to.
“I’m sorry, really I am, but we’re in touch now.” He reached out and grasped her free hand, holding it in his. He wanted to be annoyed with her, but she looked so thoughtful while she told him about her sister. It tugged at him, making it difficult for him to be angry any more.
She squeezed his hands. It made him think of making love to her the night before, and suddenly it wasn’t enough. He drew her hand to his lips and kissed her fingers.
Sky put her mug down on the nearby drink shelf, rose to her feet and stood between his knees to kiss him. She looped her hands together around the back of his neck. He urged her closer still, his hands on her behind.
Laughing softly, she shimmied against him. “Its okay, I forgive you.”
“I’m glad, because I’d hate to think you’re going to walk off in a huff and leave me with this stonking erection you’ve caused.”
With an approving purr, she moved her hands, repositioning them around the tops of his thighs, dangerously close to his throbbing erection.
“Careful.”
She moved one hand, brushed her fingernails over his cock through his jeans, while she faked an innocent expression. “What, you mean I caused this?”
Her actions made his balls ached. “Guilty as charged.”
The skin on his back electrified, his entire body readying for her.
She rippled against him, pure feminine seduction.
A loud knock on the window shattered the moment.
When Rory refocused he cursed. Busted. He figured it was Jackson, but when Rory saw who was with Jackson he had to do a double take.
Draco, Sky’s brother, stood alongside Jackson outside the window, glaring at them.
“Oh shit!” Sky stared at her brother.
Jackson grinned. He pointed his fingers to his own eyes, then at Rory and then at Sky.
Rory gave him the finger and mouthed “fuck off” at him.
He had to get Sky out, and not at risk of being followed home.
Then there was the small matter of her brother to deal with.
CHAPTER TEN
Shit, shit, shit! Sky stared at her brother, frozen to the spot.
Draco was on his way to the door of the wine bar, face like thunder.
Instinctively, she pulled away from Rory.
Rising to his feet, Rory grabbed Sky’s hand, holding her tight against his side.
