“What did I miss? Is Marina in jail or something?” My desire cools at the sound of her name.
“Do you want to talk about it now or after?”
“After what?” I hold his navy gaze, which seems to be glowing in a way it never has before.
“I make sweet love to you—three or four times.”
I laugh, then try but fail to fake a serious face. “Promise?”
“I promise it all. Myself. My heart. My soul. My future. My body. It’s all yours, baby. I hope you’ll agree to be all mine.”
“I’ve been yours from before I even realized it. You captured my heart, Riley, and I don’t want it back. It belongs to you.”
His nostrils flare and emotions burn in his eyes as he inhales a shaky breath. “You know what else is mine?” He carries me toward the bedroom. The kittens meow, as if noticing him. “Later, kids. Mommy and Daddy need some private time.”
I giggle, even though his words have me hot and bothered in the best way.
He lowers me onto the bed, the kittens meowing in the background, and then pauses. “Don’t move. Not an inch.”
He darts from the room before I can form a coherent thought and returns just as quickly.
“What’d you do?”
The sexy smirk I love appears.
“They were crying. I had to give them a quick pet.”
“Omigod. I love you so much more for that and I am so wet, it’s not even funny.”
“Now that I want to see.” He drags down my jean shorts and panties, sniffs the lace fabric, and then spreads my legs as he lowers himself between my thighs.
I want to squeal with anticipation because Riley is so good at this. A master. He could win an Olympic gold medal. Maybe I’ll have one made for him, as a joke.
All humor leaves me the moment his tongue licks my core. He knows I’m a bucker and has one hand over my pelvis, pinning me to the mattress. I bet my moan can be heard by the neighbors a good distance away.
“I love this. I love you.” I work my hips as much as I can beneath the weight of his hand pressing me to the mattress. After some more licking, sucking, and finger play, I’m gone, soaring among the clouds, shouting Riley’s name as I come undone.
“Your turn,” I say once I return to earth.
He laughs, deep and sexy. “Not even close.”
I lose track of how many times I orgasm. Three? Four? My legs feel like jelly and I’m certain I passed out at one point. “Seriously, how did I get so lucky?” I roll onto my side and face him.
He mirrors my position, his eyelids heavy and his expression sated.
“You can’t doze off. I need to know what happened and why you get to stay now. What changed?”
“Five minutes and I’ll tell you.” His eyes close.
I nudge him, and his lips part with a hot-as-fuck grin. “Riley, please. I waited like a good girl.”
His eyes spring open and he laughs. “Waited? Hardly. You even took a nap.”
“I did not.” Did I?
“I fed the kittens and brought you water.” He points to the nightstand behind me.
Sure enough, a glass of water and my glucose tablets rest on the surface.
