She nodded. I had devoured the last dozen cookies she’d made the other day, along with the apple pie and the brownies. I had never had more sugar in my life than in the last three days. I bit into the cookie and moaned from the gooey goodness that it contained.
Badger seemed to like my reaction and gave me a small smile before going back to stirring the batter. I watched as she licked some batter off her finger and put it in her mouth. She looked up at me innocently, the action sending lust to my aching cock.
I stormed out on the back patio and dialed Kade. I didn’t know what else to do at this point. The woman was driving me batshit crazy. If I wanted to be real with myself, I would acknowledge she was driving me nuts because of how badly I wanted to consume her, how badly I needed to bury myself inside of her.
Kade picked up the phone, cutting off my thoughts. “What’s wrong?”
I began to pace the small patio.
“What’s wrong?!” I hissed. “What’s wrong is my apartment looks like Betty Crocker threw up in it.” I looked around to make sure that the sliding glass door was shut and that Bunny couldn’t hear me.
“I don’t see what the problem is, Machine,” Kade said dryly.
“Bro, there are muffins, brownies, cookies, and pies all over the place! I’m going to turn into a whale of she doesn’t knock it off soon!” I clipped back.
Kade chuckled, making me even more annoyed. “You’re really complaining because there are sweets in the house?”
I scrubbed a hand down my face. Why did I think that allowing Badger into my space was a good idea? Not only did I want to fuck her every second that I could, but now she was making mouth-watering sweets. Sweets were my weakness, and I didn’t need to feel weak around her. Not when she already made my blood pressure rise.
“Yes.” I pouted. “They are so good, too!”
“Sounds like you have a real problem on your hands, bud,” Kade said, laughing.
“Dude, she’s driving me insane. All she’s doing is baking and baking, better than her trying to rip out my throat, I guess, but I swear if I eat one more chocolate chip cookie, I’m gonna go into a sugar coma. I swear she’s trying to kill me via chocolate. I’ve been blown up, stabbed, and shot, but nothing has prepared me for an overdose of sugar! Can you die from too much sugar?”
“Evan!” Kade cut me off. “I’m kind of busy right now.”
I heard a woman’s voice calling to him seductively in the background.
“Were you fucking Evelyn just now?!” I asked in disbelief.
“Yes, now can I get back to that?”
“Okay, okay, I’m getting off the phone, just know if you don’t hear from me, I died a sickly-sweet death.”
I growled and pocketed my phone with a sigh. What was I going to do?
I spent the day working in my office while Badger continued baking cupcakes, a lemon meringue pie, and some sort of tart-looking thing. To make matters worse, my dog had pretty much abandoned me for Badger, and I felt out of my element.
As if she could read my thoughts, Lucy walked into my office with her llama toy in her mouth and dropped it at my feet as if in apology.
I petted her behind the ear. “You little traitor. I see how it is.”
Lucy’s butt began to wiggle, and I couldn’t help but smile.
I got up from my desk and stretched as I stood. Mindlessly, I walked to the bedroom that Badger was staying in to grab a book off one of the shelves. The door was open, after all.
As I walked over to the bookshelf, the bathroom door opened and out walked Badger with a white towel around her body. Water droplets were falling down her collarbone, and it took all of my willpower not to pounce and start licking the water off of her. She stopped in her tracks and clutched the towel, pure shock on her face.
I quickly grabbed the book and gave her a slow once-over. “Nice and wet, just the way I like you, Bunny.”
She let out a scoff. “Why are you here, Tool?”
I gave her a smirk, knowing I was riling her up. “Just grabbing a book, but clearly I came in at the right time. The door was open.”
Badger grabbed a pillow off the chair and threw it at me. “Get out!”
I turned and started walking toward the door. At the threshold, I turned around to see Badger’s chest heaving, her cheeks tinged pink. I shot her a wink, making her let out a growl. I chuckled and left the room, feeling both elated and horny.
