“Do you want me to sit back in the chair?” I asked, my voice dipping low.
“No,” she whispered, her eyes clenched shut as she nuzzled my cheek.
I drifted my lips over her jaw, smiling as her chest rose and fell with a shaky breath.
“Do you want me to go back to the other side of the bed?”
Her throat worked as she shook her head.
“What doyouwant? God, Lee…” She trailed off, dropping her head back while I peppered kisses across her collarbone.
My heart hammered in my ears almost as hard as my cock pulsed, growing harder with every tortured noise falling from her lips.
I rolled on top of her, slow and careful as I wound my fingers around her hair and gave it a gentle tug.
“If you don’t know, let me make it crystal fucking clear.”
I pressed my mouth against hers before either of us lost our nerve. She stiffened, her body tensing on the mattress as her chest rose under mine for a minute before she melted into the kiss. I glided my tongue along the seam of her lips until they opened for me, groaning when I got my first taste.
There was nothingfriendlyabout this hot-as-fuck kiss I never wanted to end. She kissed me as if she’d been waiting her whole life to do it, whimpering into my mouth as she drifted her hands up and down my back, raking her fingers into my hair as she clutched the back of my head.
I snaked my arm under her waist to pull her even closer, pressing into her as her legs fell open under the sheet.
“You taste so good,” I murmured against her lips, unable to take my mouth or any other part of my body off her. I pulled back, running my nose along hers before I dragged my lips down her neck and over the swell of her breasts peeking out of her tank top. The perfect breasts that I hadn’t been able to get out of my head since that morning in the hallway, when all I’d wanted to do was strip us both and sink inside her.
She grabbed the back of my head when I started to pull away, skating her hands down my back and digging her nails into my ass as she rubbed against me. I was close to blowing all over the sheet between us, all the tension and mind-numbing lust I’d been—we’dbeen—running from exploding as it finally caught up to us. I fisted the sheets next to me, afraid I’d pull on her hair too hard and hurt her.
“This isn’t taking it easy, Doc,” she panted, a lazy smile drifting across her swollen mouth when we broke apart.
“No, it’s not,” I said, running my thumb over her lips, still wet from our kiss.
“What if we go slow? Gentle,” she murmured against my lips.
I shook my head and smiled into the kiss. “I don’t think either of us can pull off slow and gentle right now,” I said, pressing my hand to her chest over her racing heart. Every ounce of control I had left was keeping my palm in place instead of letting it travel lower. “I want you so much, but Idon’t want to worry about hurting you the first time I make you come.”
“Jesus, Lee,” she breathed out, dropping her head to the crook of my shoulder before lifting her gaze to mine, a wicked grin curving her lips.
“How do you know it would be the first time?”
“I guess I don’t know. Did you come right here?” I rocked against her. “Riding your hand and pretending it was my face?”
“Maybe,” she said, arching her back under me while her tank top strap fell to the side, giving me almost the same gorgeous view as that morning in the hallway.
I groaned, my poor dick already pissed at me. I couldn’t handle the details or picture her moaning my name as she had just a minute ago.
“That’s playing dirty.”
I held her gaze as I ran my finger along the low neckline and pressed a slow, openmouthed kiss right above where her nipple pebbled under the fabric. I laughed at the frustrated groan vibrating against my lips.
“Tonight, you sleep in my arms. Tomorrow, if you’re feeling okay, we’ll figure out the rest.” I ran my knuckle down her cheek. “Doctor’s orders.”
My chest pinched at the disappointed pull in her features.
“And it’s for the best,” I said. “Because if you didn’t have a bump on your head, I’d fuck you into the mattress until you screamed. And I need to take you out first.”
Her eyes heated before they narrowed.
“Take me out? We’ve gone to dinner a million times, and I live here.”
