I rested my hand on his chest, enjoying the feel of his warm body.A glint entered his eyes and I blushed hard.Oh shit, I was feeling him up.
“All you have to do is use your words,” he said, leaning down and quickly kissing me.It was fast, but it was hard and it left me breathless, warm, and wanting more.He chuckled when he realized I had gripped him tightly as he tried to pull away.He cupped my face.“I’d love to give your lips more attention but I don’t think the parents here would appreciate us making out in front of their children.”
I stepped away, my face burning as I glanced around.More families had shown up and were running around the fountain or trying to hang their ornaments in the tree.
“Come on,” I said, grabbing his wrist and pulling him with me.
He laughed but followed as I took the lead back onto the path to see the rest of the lights.I was a bit mortified at the idea of making out in front of so many people, especially kids, but I also knew if he had wanted to do it, I would have.
Toby made it so easy to get lost in him and all his energy.I’d have to be careful about that.
Chapter Eight
“You look like a zombie,” Seth said, handing me a bottle of water and my pills.
“Blame Toby,” I mumbled.
He chuckled as he went over to the fridge and pulled out a yogurt.“Well, keep your fingers crossed for me.Hopefully the doctor gives me the all clear on my ribs and I can finally go back to work.”
“Are you sure they’re good?”I asked, biting my bottom lip.We had been run off the road in September, and Seth had broken his ribs.From experience, I knew they took forever to heal.
“Yes.I promise.I’ve been fine for a while now.I think everyone was just being overly cautious.”He sighed and stared at the ceiling, his Adam’s apple bobbing.“If I have to sit in the office for another day, I’m taking a nail gun to my head.”
I raised an eyebrow, doing my best not to laugh.“Well, I’m glad you’re finally free from desk duty.”
When I went to grab my bookbag, Seth was there lifting it up for me.
“You know I’m capable of carrying my own stuff.”
“Sure, and so am I.”He grabbed my keys and led me out the door and to my car.Only after putting my bag in the car for me did he hand over my keys.“Have fun today.”
“Yeah, you too.Don’t break any bones on your first day back in the field.”
He snorted.“Boss will probably hang me upside down on a beam if I dared to do that.”He leaned into me and gave me a quick kiss before pulling back.It wasn’t enough though.I grabbed on to his coat and pulled him to me again, kissing him hard.He moaned and stepped forward, getting closer to me.His hands went to my waist as he pulled me forward.His firm lips trailed from my lips to my ear.
“Shit,” he whispered, sending a shiver through me.“Need to stop.We’re stopping.”
