“You’re an uninvited guest. Besides, I refuse to spoil you like everyone else.”
“I like when everyone spoils me.” Denver tries to use his smoldering smile on me. It might work at charming other women, but not me.
I stick my finger in my mouth and gag. “I know you do.”
I spend a few more minutes catching up with Denver. Knowing him, he’ll be gone in the morning and onto his next wild adventure. After getting my brother settled into the guest room, I head to my room and get ready for my shift.
As usual, my feet weigh about a hundred pounds as I drag them across the parking garage and into the open and waiting elevator. The ride up to my apartment feels like an eternity as I lean back and force my eyes to stay open. The elevator dings on arrival, and the doors fly open.
As I step out, I freeze at the magnificent sight before me.
In all his tattooed glory, wearing only a pair of black athletic shorts is Nico. I can’t help taking in the dark lines of the Roman warrior inked on his chest that lead to the hard lines of his abs and down to his waistband. Heat swirls between my legs as I think about his pretty cock.
When my gaze returns to his icy-gray one, he hits me with a smug smile. “Like what you see,gattina?”
“Maybe.” I shrug, biting back a grin. “Were you waiting for me?”
“Yes. I fucking missed you all day.” He grabs my wrist and pulls me out of the elevator, spins me around, and pushes me up against the wall. My hands rest on his shoulders as he buries his nose in my neck and kisses me behind my ear. Shivers race down my spine, and the hair on my arm stands on end as he whispers, “Did you miss me?”
I push him back to look into his eyes, needing to see them. “Yes.”
“Good.” He slams his mouth to mine in a bruising kiss.
This kiss isn’t like the ones we shared this morning. This kiss is rough and demanding. Hungry. He presses his hips into mine and grinds his dick into my lower stomach. The thin shorts do nothing to conceal his erection. My core clenches, and arousal shoots through my veins, making my pussy wet.
Like the helpless, lust-fueled woman he makes me, I lift my leg around his hip for a better angle as he devours my mouth.
Noise from down the hall catches my attention and makes me push Nico away. Nico glances towards my apartment, where Denver stands in the hallway with his arms crossed over his chest and a roguish grin that could rival the Cheshire Cat’s.
“Well, look who we’ve got here. Is this the neighbor who needed help last night?” Denver makes quotations with his fingers as he says “help”. I’m going to suffocate him in his sleep for teasing me.
Nico turns to me and arches his eyebrow, silently asking me to explain what the hell is going on. Without moving from my place pinned beneath him, I run my fingers through his hair. “Nico, meet Denver. My brother. Denver, meet Nico.”
“Oh, I know who he is.” Denver wiggles his eyebrows at me before extending his hand to Nico. “Nice to meet you.”
“You have a brother?” he whispers low enough for only me to hear.
Guilt swirls in my stomach. He’s been so open about his family with me, and I haven’t.
“Yes. Him and my sister, that’s it. I promise I’ll tell you everything.”
Nico stares into my eyes for a long second before he nods, accepting my answer with the promise of telling him more later. He presses a kiss to my cheek, then pushes me in front of him, and without a trace of embarrassment at using me for a shield, he shakes my brother’s hand. “It’s nice to meet you, Denver.”
Denver whistles. “I’m impressed. Since when do you date famous baseball players?”
“Since none of your business,” I snipe back. “Now go back inside before I kick you out of my apartment.”
“That’s no way to treat your big brother.”
Nico barks a laugh. “It’s nice to meet you, Denver. I hope I see you again soon.”
“You too, Nico. Also, I’d watch out if I were you. Savannah can be ruthless.”
Before I can protest, Nico possessively wraps his arm around my shoulders and tugs me close to his chest. “She can be, but I like it.”
“Hey.” I pinch his side and glance over my shoulder as he laughs. It’s loud and deep, and the vibrations of his laugh make me want to hear it again.
Denver clears his throat. “I’ll leave you two to it. Good meeting you, Nico, and take care of my little sister for me.”
