Page 25 of Aaron (Dresden Pride #1)

Mac wanted sex. She didn’t care if she had to jump Aaron as soon as he came in the door or not; she needed him. They’d been sleeping together for three long nights, and it was time to end the clothing between them. She wanted nakedness, sweat, and coming.

It wasn’t as if he was putting her off. It was just that things kept them busy throughout the day, and they were exhausted when they got home. Helping his parents find a house was a little more daunting than either one of them had expected. Then there was his work.

He’d been called out on several cases in the last three days.

Mostly it had to do with minor things, but it was his job to investigate things, and he couldn’t not do it.

She knew how he felt about needing a job to keep out of trouble.

She’d been out of work now for about a month, and she was itching to get into something she more than likely shouldn’t. Like, take on her boss.

He’d been calling her for the last several days, wanting her to take back whatever she said to the president and get his job back.

Since she’d had nothing to do with him getting fired—though she had to admit that she was glad for it—she didn’t know what he expected her to do in order for him to get back to work.

Apparently, his wife didn’t like him being at home all the time.

Not that Mac could blame her, the man was a prig.

But she’d had not one thing to do with his getting fired, and she didn’t know what he expected her to do about him losing it.

Today, she wanted to go home after a long day of house hunting with the Dresdens and take a nap.

That way, she’d be rested up for when Aaron came home, and she’d be sexy for him.

Though she hadn’t any idea how to make that happen either, but she thought that if she met him at the door naked, he’d get the idea.

Or she was willing to jump his bones and leave him hanging. She really didn’t care at this point.

“I don’t think you’re paying attention to me.

” LouCinda laughed and patted her gently on the arm.

“If it helps you any at all, Franklin and I are going to be out of the house this evening. We’re having a late supper after going to see a play.

After that, we’re more than likely going to take a hotel for the night as it will be just too far to drive back after our evening out. ”

“Are you giving us permission to have sex in your house?” She blushed but said that it was their house as soon as they found one for themselves.

“I don’t know why you don’t just live there with us.

Or we with you. It’s not like you’re old or anything and need to be in a smaller home.

What will you do when the grandkids come along? Shove them in a closet?”

“You would never be able to have sex in the house if we lived there with you.” Mac told her that she was just plotting how to jump Aaron when he got home tonight. “You are straightforward, aren’t you?”

“I don’t think that Aaron is having trouble wanting to have sex with the two of you in the house either.

I think all this house hunting is wearing him and me thin.

So if you lived there with us, then you’ll get those grandchildren sooner and have a place to play with them too when they come to spend the night with you.

Besides, I need a mother figure like you around because I don’t have much in the way of experience with children at all.

Especially not a tiger child.” LouCinda sat with her mouth open and stared at her.

“You’re going to catch a fly if you keep that up. ”

When her mouth closed with an audible snap, LouCinda started gathering up her things and putting on her jacket. She asked her where they were going. She winked at her and told her home.

“I don’t want to be the reason there are no little ones in the house by next Christmas.

Do me a favor, Mac. Talk to my husband the way that you did me when you tell him that we’re living with you—if it’s all right with Aaron—and make him realize that he’s the one who is keeping you two apart.

” Mac asked if it was all right with her.

“It is. The house is certainly big enough for both families. And if it gets to be a problem down the line, we can always build us something that will be suitable for us and some of the grandchildren coming to stay without having to be shoved in a closet.”

The two of them stopped to get some lunch and talked about how the housing part would work.

The house really was very large, and since it had been divided up into wings long ago, it would be easy for them to take one wing and the elderly Dresdens to take the other.

They’d only have to see each other at meal times if they wished, and holidays.

That’s not what she wanted, but for now, she let her believe that they wanted nothing to do with the other couple.

Now all she had to do was convince Aaron that his mom and dad needed to live with them.

For the rest of the afternoon into the evening, she pampered herself.

LouCinda and Franklin really were going out tonight, and she thought it was the perfect time to get Aaron on board with his parents and on her, too.

Giggling to herself, she shaved her legs and took a long bath that loosened up her back and shoulders.

She only had to wear the boot when they went out, so she was glad to be able to get that sucker out of the way.

By five, she was about as ready as she could be.

Franklin and LouCinda had left an hour ago to get to the play early and had made hotel reservations in the little town where the play was being played out in.

She was happy for them, but excited to have the house to themselves for a change.

He’d better not have made any plans with his family, or she was going to have to break them, preferably with his head.

The way he’d been doing things for the last few days was that he’d come home, check on his parents, and then go up and change.

Since she knew that Franklin had told their son that they weren’t going to be home, she was hoping that he’d simply come up the stairs and change into something more comfy. Mac was hoping for nothing at all.

As soon as she heard him outside the bedroom door, she sat on the side of the bed and waited.

She’d found a shirt of his in the laundry and had put it on with nothing else.

If he didn’t get what she wanted from that, she really was going to bash his head in.

As soon as he opened the door, she stood up and watched him.

“I thought that we’d go out to dinner since my parents are gone, but I’m liking your idea better.

” She said that they weren’t going to move out, so they were going to have to get used to them being around.

“You convinced them to stay here with us? That’s wonderful news.

Thanks. I was going to bring it up to you tonight. ”

“I want your mind elsewhere tonight.” He told her that he could see that. “I found your shirt since I didn’t have anything sexy to wear.”

“What you have on is just fine.” He closed the door and turned the lock. In doing so, he made her wetter than she was. “I can smell you all the way over here. What have you been up to today?”

“Waiting for you to come home.” He nodded and toed his shoes off one at a time. “If you want your shirt back, I can give it to you now.”

“I want to take it off you. Slowly and thoroughly.” Mac nodded, her mouth suddenly dry as toast. Next, he pulled his jacket off and dropped it to the floor.

As he worked on his tie, she felt herself getting hotter and hotter.

“I had hoped to come home and take a nap while you and my mom were out house hunting. This is so much better than my plans.”

“I had hoped so.” She took a step toward him and smiled. “Are you really happy that you’re parents are going to be staying here with us? I thought that it would save us time in hunting for a house for them. They could stay in one—”

“If it’s all the same to you, I’d rather not talk about my parents at the moment.

Perhaps later. Or tomorrow. Just not now.

” She nodded and grinned at him again. By now, all he had on were his pants that were undone at the top and one sock.

She didn’t care or know where the other one went, either.

“All I’ve thought about all day is you. I’d find myself losing my train of thought when talking to someone else.

They must have thought me addled when they had to keep reminding me what I was talking about. ”

She was within inches of him when he stopped talking.

Reaching out her fingers, she ran them along his rib cage and up to his nipple.

The quick hiss of breath had her thinking that he liked that, and when he stepped behind her, she nearly fell over when he reached to the front of her and started unbuttoning the shirt she had on.

She already wanted to come, and he’d not even touched her yet.

Pulling the shirt off her shoulders, she moaned when his hands touched her breasts.

Turning her around so that she faced him, she leaned up on her toes and kissed him.

It was just a gentle kiss, one more as a greeting than one where she was full of energy for sex.

He pulled her back into his arms and deepened the kiss so much that her toes curled.

She could feel his cock through his pants.

Wanting them off of him, she reached between them and worked at pulling them down.

When they caught on his cock, she moved her hand to the middle of them and pulled his cock free.

It was all she could do not to get down on her hands and knees and take him into her mouth.
