And, fuck, that’s nice.
Soft where I’m hard, her moans vibrating from her chest to mine, her hands sliding up my chest and burying themselves in my hair. She tugs at the same time she plasters herself against me, and I snag her waist, drag her on top of me so she’s straddling me and?—
“Fuck,” I groan.
Becausethat’snice.
Hell, it’s fucking great.
She moans again as she rocks against me, and it only takes that slightest bit of movement for me to go hard, for my dick to begin protesting the confines of my pants.
“Rhodes,” she whispers. “This— You— Me?—”
“I know,” I rasp, dropping my hand onto the back of her neck and dragging her mouth to mine for another long, searing kiss. “Iknow. But I want it, don’t you?”
“It’s complicated…and I’m leaving at the end of the season,” she whispers, the words soft puffs of air against my lips.
“Yes,” I agree. “But you’re here now.”
“Chloe—”
“She loves you.”
“But if you and I—” She nibbles at the corner of her mouth. “What if it goes wrong?”
“We’ve been living together while taking care of a four-year-old and two psychotic kittens—I think we’ve already been dealing with things going wrong.”
Amusement drifting across her face.
I stroke her cheek. “This doesn’t come with any expectations, Stitch. If it’s not working for you, all you have to do is tell me. It won’t affect your relationship with Chloe. I promise.”
Her gaze holds mine, as though searching my soul for answers.
“How long have you wanted this?” she whispers.
I smooth back her hair, let her see the truth of my words. “From the first time I saw you.”
She inhales, holds very still for a long, long moment.
Then she touches my jaw and murmurs,
“Kiss me, Rhodes.”
Twenty-Three
Finn
It’slike I’ve unleashed a beast.
One second he’s watching me, his eyes full of need, of patience.
And the next, he’s diving a hand into my hair, yanking my head down to his, and if I thought the kiss from before was hot this?—
Isblazing.
He’s hard beneath me, the solid strength of his arms wrapped tightly around me, his groan rumbling from his chest to mine, and God…
It’sgood.
