Daisy kissed my shoulder, and I had to steady myself on the arm of the couch. I turned around and smiled at her. “Hello? May I help you?”
“I know for a fact you can help me.” She winked.
I groaned. She was going to kill me one of these days. “We can’t.”
“See, that’s where we disagree. I think we can. Everyone’s gone.” She pulled me closer, and I lost the air from my lungs.
I held the side of her face and kissed her. She wrapped her hands around my neck, and it didn’t take long before I moved my hands down to her ass, resting them in the pockets of her jeans.
She pushed me down on the couch and straddled me. She freaking straddled me! I had never been someone to have sex in public, but with her on top of me, moving back and forth and kissing me with abandon, I was willing to give it a second thought.
I wasn’t sure how it happened, but at one point her shirt ended up on the floor, and I was pulling one of her nipples into my mouth.
This wasn’t like me at all. What was it about her that made me lose all brain power? It was like if she was touching me, my brain went on vacation. Realistically I knew no one could see us. The doors were locked, and we’d hear them open before anyone saw us, but still.
I broke us apart. If we didn’t stop, I was going to ruin this couch before she even touched me. “Daisy.” I threw my head back and moaned when she sucked at my shoulder. She knew I loved that. I looked at her and kissed her.
“Yes, baby?” she asked, and I nearly exploded.
“Jesus, woman! We cannot do this here.”
She pouted and kissed my nose. “Let’s go home, then, or you’ll have to clean these seats twice tomorrow.” I bit my lip. I didn’t have to be told twice.
I picked up her shirt from the floor and put it on her before kissing her forehead. She smiled at me, and I wanted to capture it and keep it forever. I would never get tired of seeing her smile, and it felt amazing to be the reason behind it.
I wasted no time closing up and securing the store. I was desperate to be naked at home with Daisy, but I wasn’t trying to return to a store that had been broken into or damaged.
After making sure the alarm was set and all doors were locked, I took her hand and headed home.
As soon as the front door was shut behind us, she was on me, kissing me and trying to take off my shirt. I stopped her before things got too far.
“Daisy,” I said.
She frowned and took a step back. “I’m sorry, I kind of got a little carried away. If you’re not in the mood, I understand.”
I chuckled and grabbed her face, leaning in for another intense kiss. “One thing you should know about me is that I am always in the mood for you. But that’s not why I stopped us. As much as I would love nothing more than to have you naked and under me, I really don’t want to clean up dog pee later. We need to take Duke for a walk.”
She made a face like she had forgotten the little guy couldn’t just use the toilet on his own. “Dammit. We can let him out in the backyard. It’s fenced in, and he can run to his heart’s content. And I can kiss you to mine.” She kissed me again and made me forget everything else.
“That sounds like a great plan.”
As Duke was busy outside, I was busy inside, pinning his mother against the wall and working to take off her shirt. She was doing the same and before any more clothing could come off, a light scratch at the door informed us he was ready to come back inside.
Against our protest, we parted to let him in. He ran to his food and water bowl, and we looked at each other, heat in our gazes. She licked her lips. I licked mine. She took a step closer. I did the same until we were a breath apart.
“Kaia?”
“Yes, baby?” I asked. I loved seeing her reaction when I called her that, and I was getting comfortable saying it.
“I’d really like to kiss you again.”
I grinned, but it turned into a frown at her shiver. As much as I would’ve liked to pretend I was the one who caused it, I had to admit it was a little cold.
“I’d love nothing more, but you’re cold, sunny. Let’s warm you up first. How about you start a fire, and I’ll get some wine?”
“I think that sounds perfect.”
I made my way to the kitchen while she worked on the fireplace. As I got our wine and brought it back to her, I couldn’t help but notice how romantic the moment was. Drinking wine in front of the fireplace while weweren’t wearing shirts. The topless part made it more sexy than romantic, though.
