“Something like that, baby.”
While taking off his boots, Sunny pushed back the covers and rolled up to her knees.
Rising, he was met by her beaming face and a cute gesture of outstretched arms. Her hair was loose and messy around her shoulders. Her face was bare. One side of the t-shirt she wore slipped off her shoulder, and Seb thought he’d never seen a more beautiful woman.
His gorgeous pest knew how to punch a hole through his heart straight to his soul.
“I didn’t think you’d come over.”
“Yes, you did,” He amended for her, approaching her bed. “You knew what those texts would do, Sunshine. Is this how it’s gonna be, huh? You leading me around by the nose?”
She had the gall to throw him a pretty smile, wiggling her fingers for him to come closer in a grabbing move. When he was standing at the side of the bed, Sunny threw herself into his arms, wrapping him tightly. Sebsighed with relief, not realizing how much he’d missed her, though it had only been hours. His arms banded around her body, holding fast.
“Not quite your nose.” Seb caught her muffled words against his neck, and he chuckled. Pulling back, he held her face. “You’re a bad girl. Now get comfortable so I can send you to sleep.”
She did it quickly, looking up at him with eyes full of lust and want, and it sent heat down to his groin.
He needed to call on the strength of ancestors he didn’t know to help him endure being in Sunny’s bed and not fucking her with everything he had.
She was a temptation he was no longer hiding from.
“Are you staying?” she sounded excited. Her eyes were so gorgeous that he had to swallow before lying down next to her, but with Sunny underneath the covers.
“Until you’re dreaming.”
She pouted, but scooted as close as the covers allowed. He lifted an arm and tucked her into his body. Sunny’s face found the side of his neck.
“It was hard to sleep without you.”
“Move into my place, and you won’t have to sleep alone again.”
“Be serious.” He earned a smack to his stomach. He captured that hand and brought it to his mouth, kissing along her knuckles.
“I am. It’s you who assumes I’m joking.”
Her head reared up. “You’re not joking?”
“No.”
“About anything you’ve said?”
“No.”
“That means…”
“Go on.”
“That means when you said no sex before I married you. You meant it for real.”
“That’s right.” He reassured.
“Oh.”
It was one of the few times Sunny was speechless, and Seb would have to remember that trick for another time.
It was less than a minute before she was struggling out of the covers, elbowing him in the ribs as she climbed out and sprawled half over him. Now there was no barrier between them, and Seb sighed as he palmed her ass when Sunny arched her leg over his thigh, re-situating herself.
“That’s better.” She hummed, wiggling.
