“Liar,” he whispered, pressing a kiss against her bare shoulder.
“Just give me five minutes and we can go,” she mumbled into her pillow.
“How about this?” Danny suggested, pressing another kiss against her bare shoulder, savoring the fresh scent of her skin from her recent shower. “Why don’t we take a nap, then grab a late dinner and end the night with a midnight swim in the pool?”
“Sounds heavenly,” Jodi mumbled with a sleepy little smile, “but what about your family? Aren’t we supposed to meet them for dinner?”
“Already taken care of,” he said, pressing another kiss against her bare shoulder as he moved to stand up. “I sent Aidan a text and told him that we weren’t going to be able to make it tonight.”
“You should go,” Jodi said, curling up on her side. “I’ll be okay.”
He let his gaze run over her naked body, taking in her beautiful back, the curve of her hip and bottom, and her shapely legs and tugged his shirt off. “I’m staying,” Danny said, toeing off his shoes as he worked the fly of his pants.
“Your mother will be mad,” Jodi mumbled, sounding seconds from falling asleep.
“Probably,” Danny said with a soft chuckle as he shoved his pants and boxers down. “But she’ll get over it. Besides,” he said, crawling on the bed behind her, “she’s going to have her hands full tonight with my brothers.”
“Probably,” Jodi agreed with a soft chuckle that ended on a sigh as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer. “Don’t let me oversleep.”
“I’ll wake you up in a couple of hours.”
“You promise?”
“I promise,” Danny said, pressing a kiss against her bare shoulder as he closed his eyes, imagining all the ways that he could wake her up and settling on his favorite as he drifted off.
“Oh, God!”
“It’s time to wake up, sweetheart,” Danny murmured as he slowly ran the tip of his tongue over her slit.
No matter how many times he woke her up like this, and he did this a lot, she didn’t think she’d ever get used to it. For the past month, he’d showed her just how good a man’s touch could be. She hadn’t thought it was possible, but he’d managed to destroy every insecurity that Jerry helped create. He made her feel beautiful, sexy, and desirable. She loved the way he looked at her, the way he touched her, and made her feel.
“You ready to fly, Tinkerbelle?” Danny asked in that low, deep voice that made her toes curl as he gently parted her lips with his fingertips.
“Getting close,” Jodi moaned softly as she ran her fingers through his hair, encouraging him to continue.
She gasped as she felt his tongue tease her core. “You are so damn sweet,” Danny growled as he slowly licked her. “I could lick you for hours.”
He wasn’t lying. She’d learned that very quickly weeks ago. She never knew a man could enjoy the act so much before, but Danny did. He seemed to love nothing more than pulling down her panties and burying his face between her legs. It didn’t matter if they were in her new office at the library, in the laundry room, in his truck, kitchen, living room, or in the shower, and if there was no one around, he took advantage.
She loved it, more than she ever thought possible, but sometimes like now, she wanted more, needed more. As much as she wanted to ask him to stop teasing her and finally make love to her, she knew better. It didn’t matter what she said or how much she begged him, he wouldn’t make love to her. He was determined to take this slowly even if it killed them, and at times like this, she was pretty sure that she really was capable of killing the bastard.
“Danny,” Jodi moaned as he slid his tongue inside her. “Please!”
“Please, what?” he asked teasingly as he slid his tongue back so that he could tease her clit.
“You know what I want,” Jodi moaned, needing to touch him in return, to hear him moan as she teased him and drove him out of his mind.
“Yes,” Danny said, running his tongue from her core to her clit and back again before he pressed a kiss against her lips and sat up.
He leaned forward and brushed his lips against hers as he shifted and laid back on the bed. Smiling, she bent down and pressed a kiss against his chest, loving the way that he groaned. She continued to press kisses against his chest, down his stomach, paying special attention to the scar that cut down his abs.
When she came to the head of his erection, she licked the tip, teasing the slit the way that he liked before she took it in her mouth. The first time that she’d done this for him, she’d been nervous, terrified that she was going to hate it the way that she used to hate doing it for Jerry, but within seconds, she’d realized something important.
She loved doing this for him. She loved the way he felt in her mouth, the way that he moaned as she challenged herself to take him deeper than the last time.
“Are you going to keep teasing me?” Danny asked in a strained voice as he gripped her hips and shifted her to the side, patiently waiting for her to move her leg over him.
“Mmmhmm,” she said around the large tip in her mouth.
