My approach is slow. I want to keep watching her like this. But I want to take her home so I can have her to myself too.

Bass vibrates through the club and I’m in front of her couch before her hips slow.

That smile.

It stretches until I’m lost in it and her arms are around my neck.

Before I can get lost in her, I nod in Indigo’s direction. She purses her lips in a knowing smile.

Delilah’s voice is loud enough to carry over the music. “Adonis, when did you get here?”

“Just now.” I can’t keep my smile away when I look up at her.

She licks her lips, arms still wound around my neck.

I have no choice but to look up at her and it’s the best view I’ve had in a while. My arms anchor around her hips.

“Why are you here?” She tilts her head.

“I missed you.”

Soft fingers trail over the bridge of my nose. She gives me a fleeting, but tender, smile I don’t think she’s aware of, nodding subtly.

“Let’s go home, menace.”

“Okay.”

Fresh out the shower,Delilah throws herself on the bed after putting her glasses on the nightstand. “I need to text Indigo.”

“Victor said he dropped her off ten minutes after we got home.”

By the time she registers my words, I’m on her side of the bed with a glass of water and my hand outstretched.

She waves a dismissing hand. “I’m not drunk, I don’t need hangover medicine.”

“It’s Depakote, not Ibuprofen, baby.” I extend my hand closer to her. “Here.”

“Shit, I forgot.” Sitting up against the headboard, she takes the medicine with a single gulp from the cup. Lips pushed up in a pout, she tilts her head back and I answer her silent request. She grabs me by the chin and doesn’t letgo, snaking her tongue around mine until I climb in bed and cover her body with mine.

We both exhale when most of my weight is on her.

My kisses drop to her jaw before brushing over her shoulder. That makes her legs fall open and I waste no time finding my home between them.

And I kiss her again.

Everywhere.

Soft pecks turn into open-mouth kisses along her hot skin.

Not long after that, her nails are raking over my back, her moans motivating me.

“I love you, Adonis.”

“I love you too. I always will,” I confess against the hollow of her throat.

Her pulse quickens.

“Need you,” she whispers before reconnecting our lips.
