“Either. Both.”
“I help Mia when I can. Her ex left her with a lot of debt, so if I can save her paying someone for grunt work, I do. Luke helps too, but I’m better with the flowers. Got a light touch, see?”
“I do.”
Silence thudded between us. I waited for him to hiss out an impatient breath, spin on his heel, and stomp away, but he didn’t. He slowly peeled my hand from his arm and laced our fingers together, squeezing tight, as if to anchor himself, then he stretched up and kissed me, and once again, the chaos in my brain melted away.
His lips on mine made sense, even if nothing else did, and mindful of everything he’d said, I kept my hips still as my body quickly reacted to him. My dick went from zero to hero in ten seconds flat, but I ignored it and let Billy kiss me the way he wanted to, slow and sweet, his velvet tongue slipping between my lips like a gentle breeze. Never mind the hurricane in my heart.
For long minutes I kept my hands to myself, but eventually the call of Billy’s soft skin won out.
I slid my spare hand down his ribcage and to the hem of his T-shirt. My hand found its way beneath it in the blink of an eye and I flattened my palm across the base of his spine, drawing him closer.
The movement deepened the kiss, and something shifted between us, imperceptible at first, but then like an expanding vortex, sucking me deeper into the black hole of desire I’d carried for Billy too long to count the years.
He pressed up against me, and I felt his dick hard and trapped between us, rubbing along mine, until we were once again, dry humping through our clothes.
Frustration bubbled up inside me, merging with impossible attraction. I didn’t know what to do. I was lost.
Lost in him.
Billy drew back.
I protested with a low groan that seemed to come from someone else.
He gazed up at me with wide eyes, still gripping my hand. “Can we lie on the floor again? I’m scared of your bed, but I like being on the floor with you.”
It broke my confused heart that he was scared of anything, but I’d lie on the floor forever if it made him smile.
