He smiles, and the way his eyes soften makes my face heat. “I haven’t forgotten,” he promises.
“Good, because I’m going to hold you to it.” I slide in next to Lex and lean over the stove, peering into the steaming pot of risotto. “Smells amazing.”
He snakes an arm around my waist and tugs me against his side, dipping his face to kiss my cheek. “Yes, you do.”
I roll my eyes, trying to ignore the way his touch sends my pulse racing. “Is it almost ready?” I hadn’t been hungry before, but I can’t deny the pang of emptiness in my stomach now.
“Should be.” Lex moves away from me, humming under his breath as he walks to the fridge.
I turn around to start setting the table, and my breath catches in my throat when I come face-to-face with Kade. “What… are you doing?” I ask, willing my heart to settle.
He tilts his head to the side, his eyes wandering over my face slowly, as if he’s committing it to memory. The corner of his mouth curves into a grin that makes my pulse jump, and when he moves so fast my eyes can’t keep track of him, I let out a startled gasp as he throws me over his shoulder.
“Kade!” I punch his back, though nowhere near as hard as the last time he pulled this stunt.
Lex chuckles from where he stands at the stove, shaking his head at us as if we’re children that are misbehaving.
“What the hell are you doing?” I groan again, gripping the back of his shirt as the blood rushes to my head.
Kade walks toward the hallway, taking the steps upstairs two at a time, making me bounce against his hard body each time. “I thought we could play a little game before dinner.” His grip tightens, making parts of me come to life far quicker than I’d like to admit—or ever will. He strides down the hall and kicks his bedroom door open with ease. Before I know what’s happening, he dumps me onto his bed. My head hits the pile of pillows at the top, and I shake the hair out of my face, shooting a glare at him.
“I don’t think I want to play your game.”
He smirks at me from the end of the bed. “No? Your body tells me something else entirely.”
I force out a laugh. “I don’t think you’re as observant as you think you are, Kade.”
He licks his lips. “Hmm, say it again.”
I arch a brow. “Say—”
“My name. I like the way it sounds when you say it. Almost as much as I enjoy hearing you moan it.”
Heat flares across my cheeks, and I dig my heels into the mattress to push myself up, but Kade is there in a flash, pinning me down with his knees on either side of my hips.
My heart slams against my ribcage, both in surprise and excitement, and I lift my arms in a halfhearted attempt to push him off.
“Come on,” he purrs. “You can do better than that.” He grabs my wrists, lifting them above my head and holding them there in one hand. “You want to fight me off?”
Oh, hell no, but the thought of trying has me all kinds of tingly.
I swallow past the dryness in my throat and buck my hips, gritting my teeth when the only thing that accomplishes is making the heat between my legs intensify. “Get. Off.”
Kade leans closer, and the warmth of his body radiates against my skin, the crisp scent of his cologne clouding my head. “Try again,” he taunts, his lips grazing the shell of my ear.
“Fuck you,” I say through my teeth, shoving with all the strength I can muster. He doesn’t move a goddamn inch. Bastard.
He presses his lips against the pulse at my throat. “Don’t rush me.” His tone is laced with a deadly combination of arousal and arrogance. I should hate it, but instead, it has my core throbbing.
Two can play at this game.
Pressing my lips together, I lift my hips, grinding against him until his grip on my wrists tightens to the point it almost hurts, and he growls low in my ear.
“You’re asking for me to flip you over and fuck you hard and deep.”
His words steal my breath for a moment before I can force out, “Actually, I’m pretty sure the only thing I asked for was that you get the fuck off of me.” I hadn’tasked, but whatever. I tug on my wrists and attempt to buck him off with my hips.
Kade chuckles in response. “The sight of you struggling under me when I can smell just how much you want my cock has me rock fucking hard.”
