The most beautiful smile stretches across his handsome face as he holds my gaze. “Ten thousand percent sure. I want to be yours, Poppy. And I want you to be mine. Only mine.”
I bite back what I’m sure is one hell of a cheesy grin.
“I can’t believe this,” I say, still in disbelief. “The guy who never wanted to commit to anyone is my boyfriend now.”
He kisses the corner of my mouth. “I never wanted to be anyone but yours, Poppy.”
My breath catches, and my heart skids in my chest. For a long moment, all I can do is stare at Nick, in utter disbelief. And so, so happy.
“I’m yours,” I rasp as he kisses my mouth softly.
“All mine, wild girl.”
He kisses me slow and teasing. It doesn’t take long for our kiss to get filthy. I’m clawing at his shirt and panting.
“Nick?”
“Yeah, honey?”
“Will you take me home? I want to have sex with you.”
He leans back, breaking our kiss just to look at me. His cheeks are flushed, his hair is messy, and he’s breathing hard.
“You sure?”
“So very sure.”
Chapter 44
Poppy
Iunlock the door to my apartment twenty minutes later. Nick walks in behind me and closes it. I shed my coat, kick off my heels, and turn to face him.
He’s in the middle of pulling off his tie as he walks toward me. He tosses it aside, then grabs me by the waist and kisses me so hard, I’m dizzy.
“Bedroom. Now,” he growls against my mouth.
I smile and shiver at his bossy command.
I lead him by the hand to my room. He grabs my hips and turns me around, then slowly pulls the zipper down on my dress. The back falls open, and he presses his hot mouth to my skin.
“My girlfriend is so fucking sexy,” he rasps.
My breath catches, and goosebumps fly across my body as he trails feather-light kisses down my spine.Girlfriend. I’m Nick’s girlfriend for real.
My tummy dips as he runs his tongue over my skin. Gently, he pushes the fabric off my body. It falls to the floor, pooling at my feet. I turn back around to face him wearing just my bra and panties, which are made of delicate pink lace.
His eyes light up as he rakes his gaze over my body. I hold my hands behind my back as nerves and excitement flicker in my belly.
His gaze snags on the see-through cups of my bra. “Is that new?”
I nod. “You said you like lingerie. I wanted to surprise you.”
His stare is fiery as he looks at my boobs, then between my legs. “So fucking pretty,” he rasps.
“So you like it?”
“I fucking love it,” he murmurs, like he’s in a trance. “I can’t take how pretty you are, Poppy. Looking at you dressed like this…my head is about to explode.”
