I hated to ask, but I had to. “Did you use a condom then?”
She nodded. “Yes.”
It only took one time, but why give it greater odds.
“Okay. So that explains why you’ve been in a fog. Has he called you?”
“I think I left my phone in his car and I refuse to be one of those girls who waits by the phone . . . but damn it, I wish I had my phone!”
“Nic got called right after you came home and he had to go in for work. I haven’t heard from him since he left. Maybe Cole was on call too. If he has your phone he hasn’t had a chance to get it to you or maybe he hasn’t seen it in his car?”
She chewed on her lip. “Yeah. Gabi, I don’t want to be that girl. The one who falls for a guy and then pines over him if he doesn’t call.”
Smiling, I squeezed her hand. “It’s okay to like him, Charity. It’s okay to have feelings for him. It sounds like you guys had an amazing afternoon.”
“We did,” she said softly.
A knock on the door of my office had me jumping up. Walking over, I opened it and almost fell over.
Speak of the devil.
“Cole.”
“Hey, Gabi. Max said Charity was in here with you.”
The door was blocking Cole’s view of Charity on the sofa. When I glanced over my shoulder, she was sitting there with a stunned expression. I knew she probably figured Cole was going to run for the mountains, so him standing here had to throw her even more.
I pushed the door open and watched as his face lit up when he saw her.
Oh yeah. Cole has it bad for Charity.
“Charity,” he said with a huge smile.
“Well, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got something up front I need to take care of.”
I stepped to the side as Cole walked into my office. Charity was standing as she nervously rubbed her hands together. In the four years I’d known her I’d never seen her act this way around a guy. When Cole walked up and pulled her into his arms and kissed her, my heart fluttered in my chest. I slowly shut the door, but not before I heard him say, “I found your phone.”
Smiling, I leaned against the door and closed my eyes.
Could this really work? Cole and Charity? Letting out a laugh, I pushed off the door and then let out a small scream.
“Nic! You scared me.”
He gave me a tired smile.
“Did you come here with Cole?”
Frowning, he said, “No. Cole’s here?”
“Um . . . yeah. I figured out what was going on with Charity. Her and Cole hooked up yesterday.”
Nic smiled. “That explains his weird behavior last night.”
I wanted to tell him about the no-condom thing, but it didn’t feel right to share that with him.
Walking up to him, I placed my hand on the side of his face. He leaned into it and closed his eyes.
“Have you slept at all?”
He shook his head. “Do you want to stay here? I’d hate for you to drive home if you’re so tired.”
Nic pulled me into his arms. Grabbing a handful of hair, he pressed his lips against mine. It didn’t take me long to open up to him as our tongues danced together in a beautiful rhythm.
“I need to be buried balls deep inside of you, agapiméni. Now.”
My lower stomach pooled with heat. Smiling, I whispered, “Yes.”
Before I knew what was happening, I was in my bedroom and Nic was pulling my shirt over my head. Reaching behind my back, he undid my bra and pulled it off, tossing it to the floor. He cupped my breasts and squeezed them as he dropped his mouth onto one nipple. The sound of him sucking had my head spinning with ecstasy.
Tingles erupted across my body . . . the build-up already starting. Sliding my hands into his hair, I tugged on it, pulling a long moan from his mouth that vibrated onto my nipple. I gasped.
“More,” I panted out.
Nic had my pants off and was pushing my lace panties out of the way as he slipped two fingers inside of me.
“So fucking wet. I want your pussy on my cock, Gabi. I want to feel you fall apart on me.”
Oh. God. I was so close to an orgasm just by hearing him talk that way.
“Nic,” I gasped as he continued to move his fingers in and out of me. When his thumb pressed against my clit, I nearly exploded.
Then he was gone. My breathing was erratic as I opened my eyes and saw him standing there staring at me with pure desire in his eyes. He slowly let his gaze fall, causing me to lick my lips.
“I want to fuck your mouth.”
My eyes grew wide. I liked this dirty side of Nic. Even though it made me feel a little dirty myself, it also turned me on like never before.
