“Finally,” she agreed with a nod. She trailed her nail down my neck, making my entire body shiver with desire.
Kissing her again, I rocked into her, and the gasp that left her lips lit my entire body on fire.
“More,” she whispered. “My room.”
“Yeah?” I asked, feeling way too excited.
With a nod, she wrapped her arms tighter around me and giggled into my neck as I clumsily climbed the stairs.
As soon as we reached their hallway, I let her body slide down mine, but I needed to kiss her again. Holding her jaw, I gently pinnedher against the wall as I kissed down her neck.
“JP,” she breathed out, going limp against me.
My hand found her doorknob, but just before I turned it, the sound of another door cracking open stopped me dead in my tracks.
“That’s Ali’s room.”
Hearing those words felt like a bucket of cold water was just dumped on me.
Ali’s eyes widened comically wide. I shielded her from view while I inconspicuously straightened her dress.
Turning, I was met with Lucy in her little pajama gown and slippers with a deep frown on her face. “You’re a boy, you can’t go in there.” She pointed to Ali’s room behind us.
The door at the end of the hall opened and Colt popped his head out. His eyes bounced around the hall, taking in the scene. He slowly grinned. “What’s going on out here, huh?”
Lucy let out an exasperated sigh and folded her arms in front of her chest. “I was going to get some water when I found them. JP is trying to go in Ali’s room, but he’s a boy.” She gave me a dark look.
My mouth dropped open, but I had no excuse. That is exactly what I was trying to do.
“Oh,ishe now?” Colt struggled to hide his shit-eating grin. “We knowthat’snot allowed, right?” He walked out and grabbed his daughter’s hand and started wandering down the stairs. “Goodnight you two,” he said with a chuckle.
Lucy was still frowning at me, like I was a rule-breaker.
Ali dropped her forehead on my chest and her body collapsed in giggles.
“We have the worst luck,” I said dryly.
When her body finally settled, she looped her arms around my neck. “You heard her, you’re not allowed in here. You better go.”
My shoulders fell.Damnit.My hand dropped to her waist. I never wanted to stop touching her. “You don’t want to come back to my place?”
“I do, but I'm honestly so tired. If I fall asleep in your truck, I'll hurt my neck again.”
My hand went to her neck and gently rubbed. “Again? You hurt it before?”
She groaned. “That feels so good.”
“Ali,” I warned, shifting in front of her again so she could feel how hard she was making me.
She slapped a hand to her mouth. “Sorry, sorry.”
I struggled to stop my own grin. I’d never felt quite so happy, relieved, and disappointed all at the same time.
“Tomorrow,” she said before going to her tiptoes to plant a kiss on my jaw.
“Tomorrow,” I said with a deep breath.
She struggled to hold back a yawn. “Sorry, I’m so tired. Pregnancy is kind of kicking my ass. You think you’ll be okay to drive back? Did the snow stop?”
