“I have a couple in mind, yes, but whether I decide to take one or not is completely on you.”
“How so?” I question, propping up on my elbow, the sheet falling low enough that Ant’s gaze instantly goes to my chest.
He takes a deep inhale, and when his eyes meet mine again I can tell I’ve somewhat distracted him.
“Do you want me to get my own apartment?” He waits for a long moment before adding, “Or do you want to look at making this living arrangement a more permanent one?”
“Are you asking me if you can move in, like—move in, move in?”
“Yeah, I guess I am.”
“You don’t think it’s too soon?” I question, even though there’s nothing more in the world that I want than to have him stay here forever.
I can’t even stomach the thought of him leaving.
“I already live here,” he reminds me, lifting up to drop a sweet kiss to my lips.
“I know, but there’s so much to work out. I still haven’t talked to Courtney. Tess will probably disown me when she finds out about us being together, especially when she learns how long I’ve been keeping it from her. Then there are my grandparents. Oh my God, my grandma is going to lose her mind. Do you realize how many people I’m lying to right now?” I sit up, a sudden rush of panic settling on my chest.
“Slow down there, killer.” Ant chuckles, pulling me back down before quickly positioning himself on top of me. “I didn’t say we had to tell everyone what we’re doing. We can ease into it. Maybe we can have dinner with your grandparents, break the ice a little. And Tess and Courtney, that will work itself out eventually.”
“God, you make it sound so simple,” I groan beneath him.
“You don’t have to run in guns blazing, Kingsley. I’m already here; it’s just a matter of whether or not you want me to remain here or if you’d rather me get my own place. We can figure the rest out later.”
“So you would move in officially, like this would be your room too?” I question, liking the sound of that probably more than I should.
I’m terrified with how quickly things between us escalated over the last couple of weeks, but I’m also completely powerless to stop it. Honestly, I’m not sure I want to anyway.
“Well, that would be ideal.” He grins down at me, dropping his elbows on either side of my head to support his weight. “I sleep in here every night anyway,” he reminds me, grinding his now firm erection into my pelvic bone. “And if you’re worried about space, don’t be. I left pretty much everything I own back in Rockfield. I come with two tubs of clothing and a couple boxes of miscellaneous items, and that’s it.”
I consider what he’s proposing, try to look at it from every angle, but I can’t seem to see past his gorgeous smile or the way that smile makes my heart flutter in my chest. I’m blind to anything that is not Anthony Treadway, and I know without a moment’s hesitation that there’s nothing more I want than to make this official.
“We’re really going to do this?” I ask, wrapping my hands around the back of his neck.
“This is what I want, Bree. I want this. All of it. You and Jack. Getting to wake up with you every morning. Getting to go to bed with you every night. Maybe it’s too soon, but fuck if I care. You’re all I want, and I want you all the time.”
“I want that too,” I admit, knowing that even if I wanted to, there’s no way I can deny just how much I mean that statement.
“So then, we’ve made a decision? Apartment hunting is officially over?” He smiles at me, his boyish charm oozing from every orifice of his body.
“Apartment hunting is officially over,” I confirm, squealing when he abruptly turns and I somehow end up on top of him, straddling his waist.
“You make me so fucking happy, Bree Kingsley,” he says, lifting my hips just enough to position himself at my entrance before slowly sliding inside of me.
“Mmm,” I groan, my mind instantly diverted to the deep seeded need that only Ant can fill.
“So fucking happy,” he repeats as I lift up and slide back down, taking him in inch by torturous inch.
