“Of course I would.” He grinned down at her. “And your new bed has a headboard withslats.”
Her new bed. His bed, in his house. “Can’t wait,” she whispered, sliding her hands up and under his shirt, around his waist, so she could press against him and kiss his jaw, his neck, and lick that deliciously salty spot in the dip of hiscollarbone.
He tangled his fingers in her hair and tipped her head back. “You got everything packedupokay?”
He’d wanted to come and help her, but her last day of her lease had coincided with an important mission briefing he couldn’t miss this morning, so they’d compromised on meeting here at the end of the day—and having a little dirty playacting in theprocess.
“All my worldly possessions are in a trailer behind my car, ready to road-trip back to San Diegowithyou.”
“We could have hiredmovers.”
“Mmm.” One nice thing about the Army moving her, she’d never had to worry about it before. But this time, she didn’t have a new posting, and since San Diego hadn’t been her home of record or place of entry into the Army, she’d been shit out of luck for getting anyreimbursement.
Now that she was unemployed and planning to be a poor college student for a few years, she needed to keep all her pennies. When she’d explained that to Quinn, he’d accepted it, but from their time on Miralinda together, she’d gleaned that he had familymoney.
Saving his pennies wasn’t something he’d ever hadtodo.
He nuzzled into her neck. “Ignore me,” he whispered. “Let me make you feel good, girl who’s been driving all day. Lifting heavy boxes and being ever-so-capable.”
She stretched like a cat against him. “That’s right. I think I deserve a littlereward.”
“Little?” He growled and nipped atherskin.
“I meant your tongue. But it’s not little, either.” She giggled as he peeled up her t-shirt and licked down her flat belly. “Yes, keepgoing.”
He covered her thong with his hand, his fingers hot and heavy brands against her skin where they reached past the silk, spanning her entirepelvis.
She slid her fingers into his hair and pushed, urging his mouth to cover the silk instead. He didn’t need to be told twice. Beneath the silk, she was slick already, and when he peeled it aside he dove right in, lapping up her arousal until her legs pulled up aroundhishead.
“Oh, that feels so good,” she praised him. “You drive mecrazy.”
He swirled the tip of his tongue around her clit and laughed under his breath before latching on and sucking with his whole mouth. Yes, it was crazy. Also wonderful. He drove her straight to a leg-shaking, heart-stopping orgasm, then peeled her panties off, finally got them both all the way naked, and sank into her, skin-on-skin for thefirsttime.
“I love you,” he whispered as he thrust into her. “I’m so glad you’re coming homewithme.”
Her chest tightened and she buried her face in his neck as she wrapped her legs around his hips. When he was inside her, she wasalreadyhome.
