“Well, I was offered a hundred bucks to take my pants off, but of course, I wasn’t going to take the first offer, so?—”
I twist and pinch his nipple. His howl of pain doesn’t keep my scowl away. I twist harder, starting to pull before he slaps my hand away and chokes on a laugh.
“You’re so violent, baby. I’m going to start keeping my shirt on around you until you stop abusing my body. First, my dick and now my nipple.”
“Finn!” I groan, ripping open the first crinkly wrapper. “Just tell me you wore a shirt.”
His hand drops to my thigh and squeezes as he brushes a kiss against my temple. I stare at where he’s touching me and feel my annoyance melt away. My robe has crawled high up my legs, but I make no move to adjust it.
“Of course I wore a shirt, Aubrey. I took it off when I got back.”
I nod, loosening up. The blueberry bagel in front of me has been cut in half with a thick spread of strawberry cream cheese in the centre. My stomach growls again, and he chuckles.
“I was going to cook for you, but your fridge is pretty empty,” he says.
His long fingers peel open his wrapper, revealing a plain bagel with a runny egg and two thick slabs of Canadian bacon. My stomach pinches at the sight of the egg leaking down the side and into the wrapper.
“I haven’t had time to go shopping.”
“What have you been eating, then? There aren’t even any coffee pods, and I know you don’t go to the office without coffee.”
“What are you, my dad now?”
The question could come off as rude and abrasive to the wrong person, but when Finn starts stroking his thumb over my thigh, I know he doesn’t take it as an attack.
“Your boyfriend, actually. But if you’re a good girl and eat all your breakfast, I’ll let you call me daddy once I get you back in bed.”
“I don’t know if sex is healthy for you. It makes you cocky.” I take a bite of my bagel and smile, nudging my thigh closer to his.
He brings the straw of his smoothie to his lips and keeps it there. “I disagree. I’ve never felt better than I do right now.”
“You’re just saying that to gain the points you lost by teasing me.”
“We both know I don’t need to lie to do that. You love me too much to hold anything against me for too long.”
“In your dreams.”
“How did you know what I dream about?”
I pull my lip into my mouth and roll it between my teeth. There’s a weird tightness in my chest when he says that. Like I’m not able to distinguish between the truth and a joke right now.
It’s because of last night. I can still feel his dick inside of me when I move on this stool, and with his hand on my thigh, I’m burning up. I’m not wearing anything beneath this robe, and my nipples are hard, rubbing against the silk.
Everything is more complicated now, which doesn’t surprise me. I knew it would be.But he seems fine.
“Do you not feel weird today?” I blurt out.
Finn pauses, swallowing the bite he took of his bagel sandwich. “Weird how?”
“You’re acting like nothing happened last night.”
“And that’s upsetting you?”
“No.” Exhaling, I ignore the steady weight of his hand on my leg. “I’m just wondering how you’re not thinking about it when I can’t stop.”
Nerves tingle beneath my skin when he sets his food down and turns to face me. His second hand joins my other leg, holding me firmly. It’s the serious pull of his features that has me holding my breath.
“I am thinking about it. I woke up in your bed with your head on my chest and your leg over my hips and wanted to turn us both over, slide back inside your warm pussy, and stay there all day. But I didn’t, because I knew when you woke up, you were going to be hungry, and I wanted to be the one who made sure you were taken care of before work. It’s still early, but I’m well aware that I only have a little while with you before you need to get ready to go. I’m going to be gutted when we have to say goodbye.”
