"Good, because I hate cooking." Elysa kicks her feet up on the couch with a cheeky grin.
I shake my head, laughing as I enter the kitchen to check the lasagna. The scent of tomato sauce and garlic fills the small space, making my stomach growl. I pull the oven open, and my mouth waters. It looks amazing. Elysa may not like to cook, but she's fantastic at it. Me, on the other hand? Well, not so much.
I can handle the basics, but anything beyond that is asking too much. Heidi is the sister with skills in the kitchen. Our adopted mom taught her everything she knew. She wants to open a bakery when she graduates. If anyone can do it, Heidi can.
"Damn, you look good," Colter growls behind me as I put the bread in the oven. He quickly crosses the kitchen, stepping up right behind me. His hand brushes my ass before I feel his erection grind against my ass.
"Colter," I groan, slowly rising to my feet.
He pulls me back against him, his arms wrapped around me. "Fuck, I missed you."
"You saw me this morning."
"Too long," he mutters, nuzzling my throat. "Way too fucking long."
I melt against his chest, my body heating as he kisses all over my neck. He's right. A full eight hours without seeing him is way too long. I missed him like crazy today. I kept expecting him to show up at the office. But we thought it would be best if he stayed away today, just in case Gavin decided to show up to see Elysa. Neither of us wants to give him any reason to suspect this is a setup.
"I missed you too," I whisper.
He spins me around, tilting my head back with a finger beneath my chin. "Yeah? You missed me?" His hazel eyes scan my face, his expression probing. "Enough to come home with me again tonight, goddess?"
"Maybe."
"If you don't come home with me, I'm sleeping in your bed with you. Think you can be quiet while I'm fucking you all night?"
"Colter," I groan, my blood threatening to liquefy.
"Don't Colter me, Trouble," he growls. "One way or another, I will be sleeping in the same bed with you tonight, and I will be fucking you until you pass out on top of me. So if you don't want Elysa to hear us, then you had better pack a bag and come home with me."
"Maybe," I say again. I'm definitely going home with him tonight. But I like teasing him. I like when he gets growly and bossy. It's kinda hot.
He narrows his eyes at me and then smirks. "You just have to fuck with me, don't you?"
"Yep, and we both know you love it."
"Yeah, I do," he says, his expression softening. "I love every goddamn thing about you, Leia."
Oh, my goodness. That's the second time he's basically told me that he loves me. He means it too. I see it lurking deep in his eyes. This crazy man is in love with me.
"Colter, I lo—"
"Gavin just pulled up," Elysa interrupts, popping her head into the kitchen.
Crap.
Colter and I reluctantly break apart, turning to face her.
"Let's get this over with," I mutter.
Elysa ducks out of the kitchen to let Gavin in. I start after her, but Colter grabs my hand, tugging me back into his arms.
"Tonight, when I'm inside you, you're going to finish what you were trying to say," he growls against my ear. "I want to hear you screaming it, Leia."
"Okay," I agree, more than willing to give him that.
He inhales a sharp breath and then releases me. "Let's get this over with."
Even though Gavin is a bookie, he's not a bad guy. Well, he doesn't act like a bad guy. He's always been pleasant to me. He's laid-back, always laughing and joking. It's also obvious that he really likes Elysa. He can't keep his eyes off her at dinner.
