He smiled at her with satisfaction. “I know I should be embarrassed that we just had rushed sex twice. But I don’t care. You taste amazing.”
He kissed her, and she tasted herself on his lips. “So do you.”
He hugged her to him and kissed the top of her head. “You’re so little, but you bring me to my knees. Literally, I might add.”
She slapped his arm when he chuckled. “You’re a dirty man.”
“Yeah? Well you make me that way. God, I wanted to do that days ago. I missed you, sweetheart. And not just because of the sex.”
She sighed. “Me too.”
“Becca, what do we do about this?”
“I don’t know.” She stroked his arms, still in lust with his body. “You’re in shorts. Were you working out or just dressed athletically to play video game basketball?”
He laughed. “I worked out, then Deacon interrupted with a need to chill out. I have a better game system, so I let him play mine.”
“And joined him for a game or two.” She caressed the nape of his neck, noting the way his eyes half-closed. He liked that. A giant tiger purring just for her.
“Maybe. Oh, that feels good.”
“So did what we just shared.”
“Hmm.” He leaned his head down on her shoulder, and she felt the urge to kiss him again.
So she did. “I should go.”
“Yeah. No. Wait.” He straightened. “Would you stick around for a few? Let me get rid of my brother. I wanted to talk to you.”
“We just talked, didn’t we?” she teased, but Mitch looked serious.
“Please.”
“Sure.” She had a bad feeling he meant to change things. To break things off? To make a statement and claim her before the world?Wow, Nora’s right. I really can get dramatic, can’t I?
She stifled a laugh as he left her to talk to Deacon.
When he returned, she saw, to her dismay, he’d put on a sweatshirt, hiding his arms.
“Well, let’s have the bad news first. Either you’re breaking up with me, or you want to marry me. Which is it?” she asked, using levity to defuse the tension she could sense between them.
His face closed of expression, and she had no idea what to think. Wait. Marriage or breaking up, she’d said. Was there an option three?
