CHAPTER FOUR
Barrett
I heldonto her hand in the back of the Uber, needing a part of me touching her.
Ever since I kissed her back there on the curb, my entire body buzzed and hummed, my lips aching to kiss her again.
I wanted to spend the night with her. My place, her place, it didn’t matter, as long as we were tangled up together.
My dick strained in my pants, making himself very noticeable since our mind-blowing kiss. He wanted attention, and he wasn’t taking no for an answer.
Finally, after what felt like the longest car ride of my life, we arrived at the store.
“How can I ever repay you?” Skylar asked from where we stood on the sidewalk, snow falling gently around us. “Bail, the Uber…”
“Don’t hate me for standing in your way of getting the laptop.”
Skylar laughed. “I could never hate you, Barrett. I mean, I thought I could. I thought Idid.But you tried to make the nightbetter, and you did. You turned a shitty situation into a better one. And for that, thank you.”
I took her hands in mine and brought them up to my lips, placing a gentle kiss on them, the way I saw my dad do to my mom so many times. Skylar told me how her parents abandoned her, leaving her grandmother to raise her, and my heart ached for her. I grew up with both my parents and two older siblings, and I couldn’t imagine not having much family to fall back on. Skylar deserved to feel loved and be loved.
And I wanted to love her. So much.
“Spend the night with me.” I searched her eyes as she searched mine.
“Oh Barrett, I’d love to, but…”
“No buts. I’ll call out of work tomorrow. I don’t care.”
“It’s not that. It’s just my cat at home, Fefe. I have no one to feed her in the morning. Come to my place?”
I laughed. “You got it. Is she nice?”
“Fefe? She’s a ball of cuddles and love. You’ll like her.”
“Let’s go then.”
I followedher car in my truck to her place. It was a small apartment, different from my log cabin I had custom-built, but it was cute, quaint, and cozy. And it popped with her personality.
Bright colors and funny sayings, cat decorations, and celestial items made up the look, and her black cat, Fefe, was adorable.
“You have a nice place, sweetheart. It’s cozy.”
“Thank you. Did you want something to eat? Or drink?”
I shook my head. “There’s only one dessert I’m waiting for.”
“No holding back, hmm? You just dive right in?”
“Not usually. But a woman like you…”
Skylar wrapped her hot little hand around my larger paw and led me upstairs. The only lights in the house coming from the strings of Christmas lights. It was still early in the season, considering Thanksgiving was only a day ago, but she had decorated, filling each room with wreaths, lights, bows, and small tabletop trees.
In her bedroom, she led me to the bed and pushed me down to sit. “I’ll be right back.”
Then she disappeared into the adjacent bathroom. I quickly stripped off my shoes, sweatshirt, down to only my t-shirt, jeans, and boxers. Easier access.
I looked around her room as I waited impatiently, and there, sitting out in the open, on her nightstand, was a vibrator. A long, thick, purple one with an attachment for her clit.
