She sucks in a shallow breath. “Matteo…”
I need her to stop. She can’t say something to send reality crashing down around us. I don’t do this, ever. I’ve never invited a woman over to meet my sisters or my friends. Hell, I never invite women to my home, I only ever go to theirs.
She’s causing me to change the game. The rules and the lines—they cease to exist.
I want her in my space. I want my friends and family to know her. If I sit and think about it, if I acknowledge the significance of that, everything’s going to go up in flames.
“Don’t overthink it, Sunny. I’m not, so you can’t either.”
“Okay,” she says with a little shrug, a small smile tugging on the corners of her lips. “I need your address and a time. I can bring something too.”
I step closer, my hands cupping the sides of her face as I tilt her head back. “Just bring yourself. That’s all I need.”
Fuck me.
Before she can say anything, I bring my face to hers, silencing her with my lips. I’m making a lot of mistakes, saying a lot of things without filtering my words first.
“Goodnight, Sunny,” I say, pulling away from her—forcing myself away. She follows me to the door, where I stop to slip my shoes on. “I’ll text you when I’m home.”
“Dream of me,” she says with a wink as I pull open the door. Her eyes shimmer beneath the light, soft and blue.
“Oh, I will.”
Jade blows me a kiss, shutting the door before we end up stumbling back into her bedroom, wrapped up in one another. I rake my hand through my hair as I step onto the elevator, a heavy sigh escaping me. Things between us, they’ll never go back to what they were before we fucked.
Jade Wilson is everything I thought I never wanted… and everything I can’t imagine not having now.
