“Yeah, looks that way. I did what you said and it worked, so I thought you deserved for me to make an effort to come see what your world looks like and thank you properly.”

Thank me properly…interesting.

She was right: I needed to get out more, because when she said that, my eyes went straight to her chest and I took my time observing the shape of her. Then my damn mind conjured up what she must look like naked under that coat.

It was the perfect coat for it.

A smack of her dainty hand to my chest snapped me right out of the fantasy and she started laughing.

“Do you know how obvious you are?”

“Obvious? What…what do you mean? I wasn’t thinking anything.”

“When you’re turned on, your eyes get darker.”

Shit, I hadn’t meant to show how turned on I was by her presence. I didn’t even know what to say.

“Do they?”

“Mmhmmm.”

“What…happens to you?” I knew I was venturing down the path of temptation, but she’d had me hooked from the second I saw her.

“Oh, that’s a little above Brooke 101. You have to pass the introductory course first before you move on to more advanced material.”

“What if I want to study ahead?” I grinned.

Mischief lit up her whole face. “That could be arranged.”

Enough talk. I stepped closer to her and she moved towards me at the same time for a kiss.

I didn’t realize how much I’d missed her mouth until I had her again. She tasted sweeter, sexier, delicious, and rare.

I enjoyed the mingling of our tongues tasting each other and the way she sucked on my bottom lip when she pulled back. I wasn’t ready to stop kissing her, not yet—damn, not ever.

Her cheeks were tinged pink and she smiled. “I should go now.”

I slipped my arm around her waist and pulled her back to me. “No.”

“Yes…I should.” She giggled.

Feeling the pull of desire, I lowered my lips to her neck and traced kisses along the curve of it. She pressed into me, pushing her breasts into my chest.

“You said you wanted to thank me properly—what does that mean, Brooke?” I whispered into her ear. She could tease me with her blunt ways and sexiness, but I could give as much as I got too.

“When do you finish work?” A little moan escaped her lips.

“I can be home in an hour.” I technically finished in two hours but thought I deserved to leave early. It wasn’t often I took time off, so this was me reclaiming time.

I could finish up the reports and head home within twenty minutes to beat traffic.

“Come to my place.”

My cock stirred at her words. “Your place?” That would be perfect. Aria would be home in a few hours, and if I was at Brooke’s, there would be no interruption.

“I’ll leave the door open.” Sexy, sassy, and interesting.

I allowed her to step out of my grasp only because of the prospect of what she had planned.
