“That’s supposed to be a deterrent?”
He grinned.“Come on, Wynelope.Pretend it’s sleep away camp.And we just had a panty raid.”
My lips flickered.
“Give in,” he urged.“I’ll make it worth your while.”
“Orgasm sedation?”I asked in amusement.
“Something like that.”
He held his hand out toward me.
I slowly dropped the clothes I’d gathered in my arms.
And then took his hand and let him lead me to the bathroom.
The road to hell was not paved with good intentions.
It was paved with the glorious backside of a cowboy with an easy smile who owned my body.
And my heart.
ChapterTwenty-Seven
The House
“This is nice,” Archer murmured in the dark.
“What?”I snorted.“A naked woman in your bed.”
“Not just any naked woman.You.”
I patted his bare chest.“You don’t need to sell it, Archie.I already slept with you.But don’t get used to it.”
“Used to sleeping with you?I know how good it is between us, and now I will be doing anything and everything I can to get you into bed.”
“That’s gonna be a little bit difficult.What with your daughter living in the house.I’m not doing that, Archer.I’m not going to wait for her to go to bed and then sneak down to your room and have my naughty way with you and then creep back upstairs.That still feels like a walk of shame.”
“It’s not really a walk of shame,” he said.“Not since we live together.”
“We live together because I’m the nanny.Not because I’m your girlfriend or because you asked me to move in with you.”
He brushed the damp hair at my nape away and he pressed a kiss to the curve of my neck, causing me to shiver.
“Wyn,” he began, “do you want to be my girlfriend and live with me?”
“No.”I tried to burrow my head under the covers to stop his seduction, but Archer’s hand that was currently splayed across my bare stomach drifted lower and settled at the apex of my thighs.
“Try again,” he whispered.
“I’m not your girlfriend and I’m not living with you as your girlfriend.”
He teased my thighs apart and slid a finger inside me.“Well, I’m not giving this up.So, we have to find a solution.”
“Shut up,” I moaned as he added another finger.
“What was that?”He nipped my ear as he thrust his fingers.
