Wren had already opened her door by the time I rounded the hood. She swung those long legs out onto the sidewalk.
“Here,” I said, extending my arm. “Take my hand.”
She shook her head in protest. “I’m fine.”
“Wren,” I scolded. “Take my hand.”
Blush painted her cheeks, tinging them a warm pink. Reluctantly, she slid her hand into mine and eased out of her seat. She straightened, and I gave her a minute to ease weight onto her knee. I’d been there before and remembered what it felt like to jump up too fast. One move in the wrong direction could mess up your whole damn day.
Wren gave her knee a testing wiggle. “You ready to get in bed?”
“You gonna help me test ’em out?”
“I’m here for work,” she clipped. Just like that, her professional boundaries flew back up. I wasn’t having that.
I grabbed her arm and hauled her around the corner into an alleyway.
“Tatum—”
I didn’t give her a chance to finish her thought. I had her back flattened against the brick wall. I pressed my hips to hers as I wedged my knee between her legs. Our height difference was enough that my thigh pressed against her center.
Wren moaned as my hand closed around her waist, the other grabbing that cute as fuck straw hat she was hiding under and pulling it off her head. I tilted my head and worked my mouth along the column of her neck, leaving a path of hot kisses on her skin. Wren’s eyes fluttered shut. She gave in, and the back of her head hit the bricks with a thud.
“The things I want to do to you, beautiful… The things I think about when I’m alone…”
“Tell me,” she whispered.
I grabbed her wrists, drawing them above her head and shackling them with my hand. “I think about having you tied down on my bed and using my hand as a necklace around your throat while I fuck you.” I trailed a crooked finger down the elegant line of her throat. I was tuned in to the pattern of her breathing and nearly came in my pants when I heard the hitch in her throat. I grazed my lips along her earlobe. “I want to see you laid out, absolutely naked. I want you to lay there, waiting for me. I want your legs open and your pussy sopping.”
Her breasts pressed against my abdomen, rising and falling with each gasping breath. I released her wrists and brought them between us, gently peppering them with kisses.
Slowly, her eyelids raised. She looked at me, drunk and dazed with lust. “Yes.” Wren tipped her chin up, arching her back away from the wall and nipping at my jaw. “I like this side of you.”
“What side is that?”
She bit her lip, trying not to make a peep when I dug my restrained erection between her thighs. “The side of you that makes me feel like I’m the only woman in your universe. The part of me…” Her cheeks tinged with rosy blush.
I nipped at her bottom lip, pulling it between my teeth and releasing it with a pop. “Don’t chicken out on me. Say what you were going to say, Little Bird.”
A sedate smile curled on her plump lips. “The part of me that wants to be the center of your universe.” Her eyes were heavy, a lazy smile drawing up the corner of her mouth as she rolled her puffy lower lip between her teeth. “I like the way I feel about myself when I’m around you.”
I stroked the column of her porcelain throat with my thumb, feeling the thrum of her pulse. “You make me feel the same way.”

“Mmmm.”I closed my eyes and tucked my arms behind my head. Temperature controlled memory foam cradled my joints. “Wren, baby—” I peered out of the corner of my eye and found her crossing the store.
“Find one you like?” she asked. Wren had been avoiding me as I tested out the mattresses, though there was a little extra swing in her hips as she perused the sales floor.
I patted the space beside me, beckoning her to join me on the mattress.
She glanced left then right. “I shouldn’t. We’re in public and it’s not professional and—”
“Wren,” I growled and patted the spot beside me once more. “I need a second opinion.”
She rolled her eyes and tested the mattress by pressing down on it with her hand. “Feels good. Good support.” She eyed the tag attached to the display headboard. “I can get this one as a California king. It’ll give you a little more space to stretch out.”
I cocked an eyebrow. “Little Bird.” I patted the space beside me once more. “Lay down with me.”
