“Is your mother okay?” He sat close enough to her that their thighs touched. She shivered from the contact. Without missing a beat, he pulled his jacket off. “Put this on.”
“No, you’ll be cold.”
“I’m fine.” He draped the jacket over her shoulders. “I want you to be comfortable.”
She tilted her head to the side and breathed in his scent he’d wrapped her in. “Thank you.”
“Better?”
“Much.”
“About your mom...”
“Right. She has MS. It took some time to diagnosis her, and finding the right treatment course has been challenging. It makes it hard for her to waitress. She hates not being able to work. She worries all the time about the rent and the other bills, but I told her I’d take care of things. She needs to focus on feeling better.”
“You’re a good daughter.”
“What else can I do? You have to take care of your own.”
“You’re pretty special.”
“I haven’t done anything with my life yet.”
“You will.” When he stroked her cheek her stomach fluttered. “You’ve had a rough start. Listening to you makes me realize how much of my life I take for granted.”
“I didn’t tell you those things about my life to make you feel bad. I’m going through some hard times right now, but I know things will get better. Thanks to your proposition, we won’t get evicted, I can pay off my loans and I’ll be able to help my mother.” She wanted him to understand why she had accepted his offer. “You came to me at a vulnerable time.”
“When I saw you in the kitchen the other night, I heard the stress in your voice. I know what I did was unconventional but I have no regrets.”
“You don’t?” She leaned into his face.
“I’m glad you’re here with me.” He tucked her hair behind her ear. “You got it cut.”
“Huh?” She was still stuck on the fact that he was glad she was there with him.
“Your hair, it looks pretty.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re a gorgeous woman. I can’t seem to get you out of my head. I had a horrible golf game today.” He brushed his lips along her jaw, stopping at the corner of her mouth. “Do you know why?”
Her nipples hardened when the warmth of her arousal flooded her panties. No one had ever made her feel this way. “Why?”
“Because I want to know what it’s like to really kiss you. No games, no pretending. Just the two of us here, right now. I want to kiss you because no one is watching.”
“Kiss me.” She swallowed hard, a little frightened because the terms had shifted between them.
He took her face between his hands, possessively pulling her mouth to his. She closed her eyes when he ran the tip of his tongue along her bottom lip. “Every time we’re together, I want to kiss you like this. Hold you close and tell you how much I want you.”
“I want you too.” Could this be happening? He wanted her for real.
He pressed his lips to hers, wasting no time deepening the kiss. Moving his hands from the side of her face, he ran them through her hair. She wanted to get closer, so she scooted into his lap and draped her arms around his neck. She felt the urgency, the lust in his kiss. The more he took, the more she wanted to give.
He trailed his hand down her face and to her collarbone, allowing his lips to take the same path. He left heated kisses in his wake, taking his time to reach the spot below her earlobe. He nipped at the skin before swirling his tongue along her neck.
“You’re so beautiful.”
The low tone in his voice sent vibrations straight to her core. It had been over a year since she’d had any sexual contact. She’d never had the attention of a man like Spencer before. No one had ever touched her with such attention to detail or took the time to tell her she was beautiful. She believed him when he whispered into her ear.
