She gasped at me. “How do you know that?”
“He told me.”
“I don’t know how I feel about the two of you talking.”
We’d reached her door, so I eased the keys out of her hand and stepped forward, holding it open for her. “You’ll get used to it.”
She sent me a curious look as she walked past, her soft, sweet scent sending sparks of awareness throughout my body. We were about to be alone for the night. The first night of many, if I had anything to say about it.
We ditched our coats and shoes and headed into the living room.
Her dress was long-sleeved and covered in Christmas shapes, and she wore dark green leggings under it. The look shouldn’t have been sexy, especially not with her arm in a sling, but everything about this woman was downright erotic. We stopped in the living room and looked at the sofa.
“So… are you hungry?” Mercy asked. “Want to go to the gym? Watch a movie?”
Her eyebrows couldn’t seem to settle on a position, making her so damn awkward that I had to laugh.
She popped her fist onto her hip. “What’s so funny?”
“You don’t know what to do with me.”
“I believe we established that this is unfamiliar territory for both of us. So stop being a dick and tell me what you want to do.”
I let my gaze dip down and answer the question for me.
Pink splashed across her cheeks. “It’s the middle of the day. We have to have other hobbies, Doc.”
I smiled at her use of my road name. Damn, that felt right. “Says who?”
Her hair was up in a no-nonsense ponytail that had been tempting me to mess it up all day. I gently tugged the band from her honey-colored locks and watched them cascade down her back.
The erection I’d been fighting since I’d picked her up this morning strained painfully against my jeans. I needed to remember that she was injured and take it easy. “Do you need anything? An icepack? Ibuprofen?”
She shook her head and looked through her eyelashes at me. “Don’t make this weird by being nice.”
“Fine. You want honesty? You are all I want to do. I want you spread out beneath me while I bury my face between your legs and make you scream my name. There’s no shoving me out the door anymore, and I’m ready to take my time with you. Hobbies can come later. I just want to do you.”
Her mouth crashed into mine, and I pulled her close so she could feel exactly what she did to me. I pulled away, but only to tow her into the room and gently undress her before lying her down. I paused, then moved to take off her sling.
“It’s fine,” she assured me. “I just need it to make sure I don’t do anything too strenuous with my arm.”
“Don’t worry, babe, I can do all the work,” I let my gaze heat up her body before yanking my shirt over my head and stepping out of my jeans, to join her in nothing but my boxer briefs and a smile.
I worshipped her body with my hands and tongue, learning her neck was ticklish and so was the spot behind her knees, and that her nipples turned to the most beautiful shade of pink when I sucked on them.
Heated blue eyes found mine as my chin dipped between her thighs. With my gaze locked on her, I lowered my mouth to her pussy, fucking salivating at her scent. My tongue snaked out and lapped up her wetness, making her squirm. Her eyeballs rolled back in her head, and her lids closed, but I swatted her thigh and demanded her full attention.
“Eyes on me, babe.”
Her pupils were blown as we locked gazes again. This time, she watched as I licked and sucked, and ate her out like she was my last meal. Her hips bucked, and she grabbed my head, trying to keep me where she needed me, like she thought she was running the show.
“Every time you come tonight, your pussy better be strangling my cock.”
She let out a frustrated growl. “Then get up here and fuck me.”
I swirled my tongue around her clit. “Ask nicely.”
She released my head and fisted the blankets. “Goddammit, Landon.”
