I had no choice.
Standing in the middle of the bathroom, I typed out a text to Craig telling him it wasn’t safe and I couldn’t make it to our meeting.
The bathroom door opened and Ash stuck his head in. “Hey.” His eyes narrowed. “What are you doing?”
“Messaging a friend.” I cringed internally at the lie. “I was supposed to meet them for coffee this morning, but…” I gestured toward the door and the snow-filled windows behind him. “You know, you made such a compelling reason to stay.”
His lips quirked in a hint of a smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes.
He snapped a hand forward. “A friend, huh? Anyone we should know about? Boyfriend?”
Damn it.
Had he seen Craig’s name on the screen?
I leaped backward, hugging the phone to my chest. “Pretty sure that one night with you doesn’t give you the right to go through my phone.”
Too much.
Too harsh.
I risked making him even more suspicious.
Sell the lie.
I lowered my arms and dropped my phone into the pile of clothes I’d left on the floor. “It takes at least two nights for that right.”
“Yeah?” Ash looked me over, then dropped his gaze to my phone. Indecision flickered in his eyes.
I pressed my hands to his chest and stood on my tiptoes.
My nipples hardened when they touched him. “You offered to distract me from the storm.” I kissed him while pushing him backward.
He spun me around and held my back to his chest while walking us into the main room where Rafe and Bishop sat at the bar.
His hand wrapped around my throat, and he skimmed his hand over the pulse point. “Your heart is racing.”
“I guess that means you’re doing your job of keeping me occupied.” I rubbed my ass back and forth over his cock, which had grown erect.
He groaned in my ear and slid his cock between my legs. “You’re playing a dangerous game, tempting me like this.”
“Oh?” My voice squeaked, but I refused to back down.
I knew what they were capable of.
They’d proven that last night.
I turned in his arms. “You know what you’re tempting me with?”
I wrapped a hand around his cock. I’d never found the skill to be brazen in the bedroom—or out of it—but last night changed everything.
“What’s going on?” Rafe’s question worked through me.
God, I loved the depth of his voice, the rich timbre that rattled my bones and made me want to melt all at the same time.
I grinned up at Ash. “You all promised to keep me distracted. I’m taking you up on the offer.”
I stroked Ash’s cock again and brought his head down for a kiss.
