I swallow, my skin slick with sweat just from his words, from the promise of pleasure at the hands of this beautiful man.
My hips rock against him, yearning to ease the mounting ache between my legs.
His fingers dig into my hips. “I think about you every night, and all the ways I’m going to ravage you.”
My mouth falls open. “You fantasize about me?”
His low laugh rasps in my ear. “Yes, babe. I’ve got plans for this body.”
I suck his plump bottom lip into my mouth and bite down on it. “I’d like to know more about these plans.”
“You name the time and place, and I’ll be happy to show you.”
Just as our tongues dive for one another’s, Leo’s loud voice booms in the hallway outside James’s bedroom door. “Get your clothes on if you’re fucking in there. I’m coming in.” He bursts into the room wearing a smug grin. “What are you two doing?”
I slide off James’s lap. “Reading.”
Leo laughs. “Yeah, looks like it.”
James glances at the alarm clock on his nightstand. “Fuck, I have to get ready for my shift.”
“Guess it’s just me and you tonight, Nixie.” Leo winks. “Maybe I’ll be your New Year’s Eve kiss since the big guy has to work.”
James pushes off the mattress and shoves his brother back into the hallway. “Bring your lips anywhere near her, and you won’t make it into the new year.”
I laugh and shake my head. “I’ll see you later, Leo.”
James closes the door in his face, but Leo keeps talking. “You’re bringing chips and dip, right?”
“Yes. And root beer for your dad.”
James wraps his arms around me and presses his lips to my forehead. “Thanks for spending the night with them. I hate leaving Dad on holidays. I feel like he gets lonely.”
“Well, he won’t be lonely anymore.”
“You know, I’m going to have to talk to this Steiner lady if Cooper and Emory don’t end up together by the end of the book.”
I smile. “It’s a romance. They have to end up happily ever after.”
He arches an eyebrow. “Then how do you explainThe Notebook, orTitanic?”
“They did end up together inThe Notebook. It was just a really sad ending because they were old.” I curl my lip. “ButTitanicwas… dumb.”
“Dumb? Wasn’t it supposed to be an epic love story?”
“She could’ve moved the fuck over and shared that door with Jack.Titanicdoesn’t count. Rose was an asshole.”
He tilts his head back as he laughs, and I welcome the sound of his deep laughter. The corners of his eyes crinkle, and dimples frame his wide smile. The sight stills my heart and makes it hard to catch my breath.
“You look so beautiful when you smile.”
His expression sobers, and he leans down to kiss me. “I smile because I’m with you.”
My body warms, and I close my eyes, allowing this foreign feeling to sink into my chest. “I’m glad I didn’t injure you too badly when I hit you with the bat the night we met.”
He chuckles, and his warm breath tickles my lips. “I’d suffer through the head trauma all over again if it meant we’d end up here.”
“Good. Now, go save lives. Be safe.”
