I was single.
I could totally have a fling.
Actually, I might puke.
“This is where I leave you,” Mal said as he pulled my hand, urging me to stop walking.
I looked up and realized we’d walked to my place. We were here, and I hadn’t even realized it. “Wait, what?”
He sighed. “You might not have said anything, but you’re throwing all these signals. Clearly, you’re not ready. Like I said, we’ll go at your pace. Or who knows, maybe not at all if you’re not ready.” He shrugged. “I’ve been celibate for eleven months—what’s one more?”
“Wait, you don’t want to sleep with me?”
Chapter 6
Mal
“I didn’t say that.” I had to bite back my laughter. Not want to sleep with her? Had she seen herself? It was all I could do to keep my dick in my pants. The asshole really wanted to stand up and wave hello.
And make all my decisions.
Holding her on the dancefloor had been the best kind of torture. Feeling her satiny skin under my fingertips. Holding her in my arms. Feeling her body move with mine. I muffled my groan. It’d been foreplay as far as I was concerned.
“You think I don’t want you?” I grabbed her upper arm and pulled her to me until her hips pressed against mine. “Do you feel that? That’s what happens to me every time you’re near. Hell, I just gotta hear your voice or smell that citrusy vanilla scent of yours, and I’m hard.”
“You get like that because of me?” She sounded all breathless and disbelieving.
And it was seriously pissing me off.
“I don’t know what the fuck was wrong with your ex, but clearly he was a jackass.” I couldn’t believe she’d ever doubt her worth. “Yes,you, Saylor. You’re gorgeous. Sweet. You have a banging body and are so fucking quick and funny. I’ve enjoyed every second I’ve known you.”
That was when she pounced. Her arms wrapped around my shoulders and her lips were on mine. I think I groaned when her sharp knee banged into my dick as she tried to climb me like a tree.
I definitely groaned when I grabbed her under her arms to help her climb up me. My palms came to rest under her ass and her supple—exposed—skin had me breaking our kiss with a muffled curse.
“Christ, baby girl. I swear you’re trying to kill me. Please tell me you’re wearing something under this dress?”
Her eyes shined in the moonlight as she bit her bottom lip and slowly shook her head. “Sorry, Daddy.”
I felt those words in my balls. “Jesus Christ.” Adjusting my hold and all but tossing her over my shoulder, I wrapped an arm over her body and ran up the stairs to her room.
“Eeek!” She squealed. “Oomph. This is way sexier in the movies.” Followed by laughter.
I grinned even as my breath left me in puffs from the exertion. I loved hearing her laugh. She’d had more than her share of heartache lately.
I opened her front door and walked straight to the large bedroom without direction. I knew the floorplan from my last visit, and I wasn’t going for subtlety.
Dropping Saylor onto the bed on her back, I crawled up between her legs. “Do you have any idea how fucking sexy you are?”
She leaned up on her elbows, her big blue eyes staring at me with wonder, before she shook her head mutely.
“Fuck me. That’s my job for the next few days then.” I settled between her splayed thighs, nudging her legs further apart with my shoulders until she made room for me. “I can’t wait to see you all confident, knowing how easily you can slay me with a look.”
She rolled her eyes like that was the most ridiculous thing she’d ever heard.
“Yeah. New mission unlocked.” I shifted on the bed until I could get my hands on her thighs, and I rucked up her dress to her waist. Which was when I discovered Saylor had been a naughty girl indeed.
She wasn’t wearing panties.
