“Really glad you came,” she repeated.
“I wouldn’t have missed meeting Cullen for the world,” her mum said as they drew apart, and laughed. “Now you hang onto him, he’s a good guy.”
Sunny mustered a weak smile. “I’ll try.”
CHAPTER TWENTY
SUNNY QUICKLY CHANGED her mind about sharing her concerns with Cullen. The meeting with her family had gone so well, she didn’t want to ruin his good mood. It could wait until morning. Right now, she wanted to enjoy every precious moment she had with him.
“I knew something was wrong the moment I saw your face,” Cullen said as he kicked off his boots.
Sunny laid back against the pillows, watching him chat about his error with the vibrator. “Now you understand why I was embarrassed.”
“I’m not sure I do.” He feigned a confused expression. “Explain it to me again and, this time, I’ll concentrate even harder.” He gave her a suggestive smile as he sat down on the edge of the bed, then picked up the vibrator and toyed with it in one hand.
He’d already had the technical explanation. She decided to give him the more intimate explanation this time. “When I used to get hot for you, after I’d dreamt about you, but couldn’t touch you,” she licked her lips, remembering, “I’d wake in the night and I’d need to feel something hard moving inside me, while I imagined you were there, taking me over the edge.”
“You pleasured yourself then?” His eyes were gleaming with interest.
She nodded and reached over to his hand. “I used to touch myself. It was the closest I could get to having you, while you weren’t here. A vibrator feels good, and it moves...women enjoy that. I used to use it when I lived in London and I wanted to feel that pressure.” She put her hand on his thigh, squeezing it.
He smiled darkly. He knew she was teasing him, urging him to get into the bed and make love to her. But he had a measured look about him. He wasn’t about to cut to the chase just yet. “Hmm, I might have to take one of these back to my time,” he mused, directing his attention to the vibrator, “if they make such an impression on women.”
She gave a low growl and sat up. “You’re so bad.” She began to undo his shirt buttons. “Please don’t say that,” she whispered against his mouth as she kissed him in small, demanding bites, drawing him closer.
“About other women?” He kissed the tip of her nose.
“Yes, that too, but don’t talk about going back to your time, not yet.” Her hands instinctively clutched at his shoulders. “No matter what happens in the next few days, remember you’re the only one I want. Promise me. You know I love you.”
He kissed her deeply before he answered. “And I love you, too. You’ve given me sanctuary, and I promise I’ll never forget this.” He looked thoughtful. “I’ll make Nathaniel pay.”
“No, Cullen!”
“I must, I simply have to.”
Her frustration boiled up and over spilled. “When will you learn, I am the hero in this story, and it’s okay for women to be the hero in 2020!”
He lifted his hands in despair. “Let’s not discuss it.”
He went silent a moment.
Sunny knew he was making plans of his own, and there was nothing she could do about it. Thankfully, he dropped the subject. They always argued when Fox was mentioned, and time was too short.
“Besides, I have my new gadget to play with.” His eyebrows lifted and his smile was wicked.
With the tip of the vibrator, he pushed the hem of her short nightdress up, exposing the tops of her thighs. He ran the tip into the warm groove at their juncture, teasing the sensitive skin of her mons. “I want to find out exactly how this works.”
Her heart began to thud, naughty thoughts racing through her mind. “You want me to demonstrate?” She opened her legs, her fingers slipping into the heat between her thighs. She ran one finger over her clit, watching his eyes narrow and his smile tighten a fraction.
He watched her movements for a moment and then reached over to her wrist. “No.” He pulled her hand away. His tone was demanding, his eyes glittering with erotic suggestion. “Allow me.”
She inhaled slowly. He had a thoroughly determined and devilish look about him. A dark tremor of apprehension passed through her body.
He stood up and finished undoing his shirt buttons, dropped the shirt to the floor. He climbed over her, his denim-covered thighs straddling her hips, capturing her. His hands moved down her arms to her wrists. He yanked them away from her body. She let out a small growl of surrender, her head rolling on the pillow.
A shadowy smile passed over his face, partly hidden in the hair that fell forward as he bent over her body. She watched his bare chest, exquisitely masculine, as he lifted her nightdress and pulled it up and over her head, watching
as her breasts bounced free. He kissed her deeply, thrusting his tongue into her open mouth, before he moved back down the bed, yanking her legs apart as he climbed off the mattress.
