Smiling when he saw her, he moved to meet her. Pulling her up against him, he said, “You can totally just leave your shirt off. It’s cool. I don’t mind.”
Snickering, she grabbed her shirt, then slid it on without bothering to put on her bra. She moved into the living room to go look for her cell phone. Seeing she had three texts from Sara and four from Kelli, she gave a quick laugh. Checking them, she confirmed that they were both pumping her for information. She stuck her phone back in her purse.
Chris wandered out and said, “Whatcha doin’?”
Smirking, she said, “I had to cancel that thing tonight, remember?”
He gave her a dirty look and said, “You can totally go if you want.”
“Oh cool, thanks. Guess I’ll see ya later.”
Rolling her eyes at him, she said, “Sara and Kelli both knew I was coming to hang out with you today. They were requesting status updates.”
Reaching out, he tugged her up against his chest and said, “Thanks for at least waiting until you leave.”
She slid her arms around his waist and said, “You’re welcome.”
Chloe’s stomach chose that moment to growl.
Laughing, he released her and said, “Dinner. Right.”
By the time they’d finished the meal, and the bottle of wine, they were both incredibly relaxed. They moved out toward the couch while they debated the merits of action films versus comedies. He’d taken the chaise spot, stretching out his legs. He pulled her to sit in front of him, wrapping his arms around her.
As soon as the opening credits started, one of his hands began to roam idly against her torso. He was using just the tips of his fingers. She kept her eyes facing forward, but she wasn’t taking in the movie at all. She was mostly just enjoying the feeling of his hands on her.
Dipping his head down, he nipped at her exposed earlobe then asked, “Enjoying the movie so far?”
Nodding, she said, “Yeah. So far. You?”
His mouth now against her ear, he said, “Definitely.”
She felt his tongue trace around the shell of her ear. Shifting slightly against him, she continued to stare at the screen. His hand crept up her ribs and began tracing lightly across her torso right below her breast.
She shuddered when she felt the warm exhale of hot breath on her ear.
He asked, “Cold?”
She shook her head and said, “Not really.”
Leaning his head down again, he kissed her neck. Brushing his lips over her pulse point, he nipped it lightly with his teeth.
Tilting her neck ever so slightly, she allowed him greater access. He took advantage of the newly exposed area, tracing his tongue lightly over it. His hand continued to caress her lightly. The combination, though mostly innocent, had her shifting in her seat.
Lifting his head a moment, he glanced up at the screen and said, “It’s getting to the good part soon.”
Turning her head to look at him out of the corner of her eye, she said, “Is it?”
Nodding, watching the screen, he said, “I think you’ll enjoy it.”
Leaning back down, he began to place more nipping kisses against the column of her throat. His hand crept up to cup her breast now, his thumb brushing over her aching nipple. He pinched it lightly between his thumb and forefinger.
Chloe tilted her head back, closing her eyes, and moaned slightly.
A few moments later, his hand left her breast, and in tandem with the other fiddled with the button on her jeans. His mouth now tracing lightly over her ear again, he slid down her zipper. Sliding his hand into the newly exposed area, he toyed with the edge of her lace panties.
Bringing his other hand back to her breast, he raised his mouth from her neck and said, “This is the part I was talking about. Pay attention.”
Sliding his hand into her panties now, he dipped his finger between her wet folds. He slid his fingers against her slippery flesh, grazing her clit.
