I glanced down at the table, my cell phone vibrating away, Ray's name flashing on the screen. “I need to get that.”
I stood frozen, not moving from Brody's embrace, just staring down at the phone. He picked up my phone, turning the power off, silencing the noise, and placed it in his pocket. Then he lay two fingers on the side of my jaw and placed the gentlest kiss on my lips, sweeping his tongue through my mouth. Soon, I forgot all about what had just happened and let myself get lost in his kiss.
Chapter Twenty-Three
Cass
We were supposed to becleaning up after dinner, but instead, I found myself with my arms pinned above my head and my back pressed against the wall as Brody continued his assault on my lips. He swept his tongue through my mouth and ground his erection against my leg.
“Fuck, I feel like a teenager again,” he moaned into my mouth.
I fought to get a hand loose, and when I did, I opened the button on his jeans. There was just enough room, I could reach my hand inside his pants and stroke him through his boxers.
“God Cass, that feels amazing.” He kissed the side of my neck and gripped my ass, pulling me closer against him.
I opened my eyes and caught my cell phone, sitting on the counter, vibrating away. I eyed my cell phone, Ray's name flashing across the screen, distracting me.
“Leave it alone, Cass,” Brody murmured into my neck. “Get lost in me.”
“Brody, please. I should answer it.”
“You should shut the thing off, he doesn't deserve you.” He groaned as he ran his hands over my body.
“Brody, we should really clean up this kitchen.”
“I'd rather be right where I am,” he whispered as he leaned down and bit my nipple through my thin t-shirt.
I threw my head back against the wall, letting myself do exactly as he asked—get lost in him.
“Come join me in the shower,” he said, meeting my lips again.
“No go, I’m going to clean up here, then we’ll relax.”
He pouted like a schoolboy, kissed me one final time, then made his way down the hall to shower and get changed. It took me a few minutes to calm my beating heart, but the throbbing ache between my legs wasn't going to subside until I was screaming his name. I shut the thought out of my head and started cleaning up the mess we had made from dinner. I placed the final pan into the dishwasher and started wiping down the counters when my phone vibrated again. I glanced down the hall and could still hear the shower running. I eyed the phone again, finally grabbing it off the counter and answered it.
“Hello.”
“It's about fucking time you picked up the damn phone.”
“Don't be angry, Ray.”
“I'm not angry, I'm furious. Why are you ignoring my calls? Were you busy... with him?”
What was I going to say,Sorry, Ray, I couldn't answer the phone because Brody had his tongue in my mouth? “I left my phone in my purse, and I didn't hear it ring,” I lied.
“Listen, I've been giving it some thought, Cass, I think I'm going to stay down here a little longer, sort out how I feel about you. Give you a little space and time.”
My eyes burned as I listened to his words.
“I think it's the right thing to do,” his voice cracked as it came over the phone.
I sat down on the couch in the living room. I didn't have anything to say, I knew he was right, it was the right thing to do.
“I'll come see you when I return.”
I still couldn't speak, the words wanted to come, but my throat wouldn't open to allow them to come out.
“Goodbye, Cass.” The line went dead. I covered my mouth with my hand. I was so torn, I didn't know what to do. I wiped the tears from my eyes and heard the water shut off in the bathroom. I needed to get some control over myself before Brody came back out here.
