“I’m thinking you probably deserved that, Warren.” She places her now empty mug on the table. I can see her shiver and am about to put my foot down and bring her back inside. “A few more minutes, please? Then I promise we’ll go in.” Her head is now on my shoulder, resting peacefully.
“That’s it. You stay out here much longer, you’ll turn into a popsicle.” I lean down, lightly kiss her lips knowing if she tries to prolong it much longer, I have no problem picking her up and carrying her inside.
CHAPTER 19
Halo
I wasn’t expecting Warren to pack a duffle bag yesterday before bringing me back to my place. In fact, I’ve read books, watched movies, and even seen some women do the walk of shame in college. Warren wasn’t having that and made himself at home in my apartment on the outskirts of town. It’s so much smaller than his place—a one-bedroom, with a much smaller bed than his massive king size. It didn’t bother him in the least. I made us my famous Penne à la vodka, it was the fastest thing I could make with minimal effort. To say Warren enjoyed it would be putting it mildly. The two helpings he had said enough. He didn’t feed me this time, which I have to say, there is something mildly erotic about a man who cooks and literally hand feeds you even when you’re pissed as hell for no reason.
Now Warren is wrapped around me, my back to his front, a thigh wedged between my thighs, our bodies void of any clothing. Warren’s doing. After we ate, he helped me clean up. After that, we plopped down on my couch, both of us enjoying a beer. It was a perfect evening, just like the whole weekend was. And when he declared it was time to go to bed, I was ready for it. Of course, that’s also when he stripped me bare, took me to my bed, and gave me two orgasms to his one. This time, I was much quieter. My apartment definitely has paper-thin walls, and I was not about to wake up my neighbors with my sexy groans.
“I know you’re awake, sweetness.” I let out a contented sigh and spin around to face him, my thigh now moving on top of his, spreading me open.
“Good morning, handsome.” He moves me closer to him, my center right against his hard cock.
“Halo, need your lips,” he responds. I give him what he wants, lightly at first, thankfully waking up before my alarm goes off so we can have this. The world locked outside and us wrapped in this moment in time. He nips at my lower lip. I moan, opening up to him. His tongue sweeps inside, and mine chases his. Each morning, waking up with Warren is pure bliss.
“That’s the way I like to start off our mornings. Now, you want to shower first? I’ll get breakfast and coffee started. Then we’ll switch places. I’ll take you to work after that. I have a meeting with Ash.” I’m not sure if that was a question or a statement, but the offer of him making breakfast and getting the shower first, I’ll take it.
“Okay.” I kiss him lightly on the lips again. Disentangling from his warm body sucks, and this is about the time I wish winning the lottery were in my future and I could laze around with Warren all day.
“Are you good with me driving and walking you in?” he asks as I attempt to get out of bed, hating the coldness in the air after being wrapped in nothing but warmth.
“Yup.” I pop the p at the end, a plan formulating when it comes to Rita and Ash.
“Do you care to elaborate? I see that sinister smile, sweetness.”
“It appears I have some matchmaking to do. I’m hoping if Rita sees us walk in hand and hand, she’ll realize that fairytales do come true.” A boyish grin lights up his face, and when he licks his lips, I move my ass, or we’ll really be late, and that would be the worst first impression I could make.
CHAPTER 20
Warren
“I don’t even have to ask how your weekend was, do I?” That’s how Ash greets me as I walk into his office on the twelfth floor. Of course, riding into work with Halo was great. Watching her get ready was even better. Her holding my hand when we walked into Get Hooked, fucking phenomenal.
“No, not that I would tell you, anyway. Though Halo is doing your dirty work for you. She’s hoping that by the end of the day, Rita will be swayed in the Ash department. Those were her words, not mine. I give zero shits what your love life is like, but for Halo’s sake, since she only made one friend here while she’s been working, don’t fuck her over.” Ash hasn’t settled down yet. Not that I have any room to talk, but he’s a little bit more lax on who he dates and who he’s seen with.
