“Today was fun,” he stated, grabbing my hand to hold in his. It felt right.
“Yes, it was. I truly enjoyed myself with you. I know I said some off-the-wall stuff earlier.”
He laughed a little. “Nah, it’s all good. It was cute. You were being yourself, and I like that.”
I wanted to snatch my hand away and bury my face in my hands. “Please stop,” I groaned.
He kept laughing at me, and soon I did as well.
“Maybe you need to drink more often. You break out that shell you place yourself in.”
I frowned. I had never heard that before. “A shell?”
Nash’s thumb caressed my hand soothingly. “I can feel that you do. I just need to break you out of it. It’s okay though, and I get it. You don’t know me, and we’re getting to know each other, but hopefully soon you can fully be comfortable with me.”
Little did he know I was on my way to being fully comfortable around him. He made me feel protected when I was in his care. When we were out, if someone got too close to me, he’d pull me back to him. Even with Jonathan, he never had a hold on me this soon like Nash did.
“Let’s get you inside.”
I was a little disappointed. To me, it seemed like I could sit in this car and talk to him all night, but I knew both of us had to work in the morning. Nash had a gym to run, and I had animals to see.
Nash let go of my hand and opened his door, while I waited patiently for him to open the door for me. When the door opened, he held out his hand for me to take it. I placed my hand in his, and he helped pull me out of the car. He draped his armaround my shoulder, and we walked like that to my porch. I was glad to have left my porch light on.
After I unlocked the door, I turned back to him. He lifted my chin with his index finger and peered into my eyes.
“Have a good night, beautiful.”
I smiled. “You do the same. Make sure you text me when you get home.”
Nash smirked. “You’re using my line on me. I like that.”
I chuckled. “Yep, I am.”
“I need something from you before I go.”
“Just go ahead.”
He laughed lightly and swiped his tongue across his bottom lip. Lowering his lips to mine, Nash took my bottom lip between his teeth and sucked on it. I moaned as he cupped my face and deepened the kiss. When he slipped his tongue in my mouth, I shuddered and moaned much more. His lips and tongue moved with mine in a soothing manner. He took his time arousing me in a way that shook me to the core. When Nash pulled his lips from mine, I felt the loss and sighed in disappointment.
“Good night, Kenzlee.”
The way my name rolled off his tongue caused me to shiver.
“Good night, Nashton.”
With that, I walked inside my house and closed the door behind me. I leaned against it and closed my eyes.
“Gosh, I want that man.”
I satat the table in the employee lounge, taking a break since I didn’t feel like going out to get lunch. I was still full from the breakfast I had this morning. Nashton and I met for breakfast before we went to work. Then he laid a kiss on me so good I almost told him to strip me naked and make good love to me. Nashton was a great kisser, and I’d never tire of the way he laid his lips on mine.
I flinched when something was slapped on the table next to my face. If it had been a few inches closer, it would’ve hit me in the face, which caused my blood to boil. I quickly jumped up to see an angry co-worker glaring down at me. Little did he know, I matched energies around here.
“That could have hit me!” I hissed, narrowing my eyes at Patrick.
He picked the files up and thrust the paper in my face. “What the hell is this? Where are my files?” he barked, slapping the paper back down on the table. I didn’t even know what the hell I was supposed to be looking at.
I reared back, not liking the tone he took with me. Patrick had a lot of nerve to even step to me like that.
