“I can make you something to eat.” I jumped up from the couch, taken by surprise, to find Rose wide eyed and shocked from my outburst.
“You uh, startled me.” I tugged on my sweatshirt. “If it isn’t too much trouble, I would love some food.” I grinned.
She let out the cutest little giggle and shuffled over to the kitchen, looking like a fucking strawberry drop. She was wearing bright red leggings and a matching, fluffy sweatshirt that still didn’t even hide her delicious curves. I followed her into the kitchen and sat on her bench. She had a bright kitchen that reminded me exactly of her. Blue cabinets, white countertops; it was all so innocent, like her.
“How was your day today?” I asked her.
“The same as always. What about yours?” she asked over her shoulder. I wasn’t sure what she had thrown in to the pan already, but it smelled amazing.
Maybe it was over said, but a woman in the kitchen was a beautiful thing.
“Uh, pretty annoying. The Lieutenant ha
s been up my ass about some old cases.”
“Why?” She stopped and handed me a glass of orange juice, which she squeezed freshly herself. It tasted like sunshine.
“I don’t know. He has pretty strict rules with paperwork. It can bring units down if it isn’t done right, and the seventy-eighth makes everyone else our bitch. So, we have to keep up that image.” I chuckle.
She smiled at me and shook her head in mock disappointment.
“Hmm. Well, ER nurses are known for how badass we are, I guess,” she laughed.
“I think you are pretty bad ass, Rose.” I bit my lip and winked at her when she looked at me. I noticed her cheeks flushed before she turned away.
I wanted her so bad, and I knew she wanted me too. Shit just got complicated, and it continued to get even worse. But I couldn’t hold out anymore. I needed her. Once we ate, she had to take Parker for a walk so I went with her. She had started taking a different route since that crime happened, and I was glad for it.
About halfway in, I held her hand and started teasing her a bit. She was just so distracting, with her scent blowing in my direction.
“You seem in better spirits today.” Rose swung her arm a little bit to get my attention, tightening her hand in mine.
“Am I usually a damper to be around?” I smiled a bit. She glanced up at me and flashed her sexy smirk.
“No, just…I don’t know. I just don’t know much about you.” She shrugged. Parker tried to pull off in another direction after a squirrel.
“Well, I’m pretty boring. All I really have is work and the guys.”
“What about your parents?”
“Distant. But we’re on okay terms, just one of those things…” I ticked my jaw and felt her looking at me. I pulled her in closer.
“One of those things?” she pried softly.
“They wanted me to take over the family business. I don’t give a shit about penny stocks. So, they chill in upstate New York while I’m down here. But I’m really not mad about it.”
We stopped walking while she let Parker forage in some bush. She glanced up at me and then buried her face in my chest as she hugged me. It took me by surprise but I gladly reciprocated, wrapping my arms around her lithe waist. Her scent swirled around me and her body molded into mine. I knew she was communicating with me silently; she was more bothered about the case than she let on. But it was okay, because I was there for her.
“Ready to go?” I asked her softly.
She nodded, “Yeah.”
Chapter Nineteen: Max
Back at her place, she set Parker up in his crate and then washed her hands. I usually only stayed for a few more hours, and the sun was going down. She was standing on the other end of the room when she let her hair down and shook it out and I just couldn’t do it anymore. I crossed the space between us and clenched my hands on her waist, she had but a second to lean in as consent before I kissed her.
I let my lips explore hers as I turned her around and pressed her against the wall. She sighed into my mouth and I deepened the kiss, letting my tongue swirl around her sweet mouth. She tasted like mint and the tang of our orange juice. She was so fucking edible I couldn’t hold back. She hitched her leg onto my waist and I lifted her up and carried her into her bedroom.
I dropped her onto the bed and she looked up at me in shock. I quickly shucked out of my jeans and sweater before climbing over her on the bed. She was biting down on her lip and I used my thumb to draw it out and kiss her again, slow and deep, letting my hard cock rub between her legs.
