As soon as we walk through the door, Piper takes off through the kitchen and into the living room, grabbing a toy from the floor and bringing it back to where Cooper and I are standing, making us both laugh.

Everything is open and windows line the back wall. I can’t wait to see it in the daytime.

“I think someone is excited to have a guest over,” Cooper says, chuckling at Piper’s antics and easing some of the awkwardness surrounding us. He picks up the toy and throws it into the living room for her to chase.

Turning to me he asks, “Ready for the tour?” I smile and nod my head. I think all of my words went out the window to make room for my nerves.

Cooper points out the open kitchen, living room, and sliding glass doors that, I’m guessing, lead to his backyard. He leads me down a hallway to a half bathroom and then shows me upstairs where there is a guest bedroom and a room made into a home gym.

“...and lastly, here is my room,” Cooper says as he leads me into the master. A king bed dominates the room and is covered in a grey comforter that looks insanely fluffy and soft. I have this sudden urge to jump face-first onto the bed. A bench seat sits at the end of the bed, and a dresser stands against the opposite wall.

“The guest room is ready if you want to sleep in there, but I’d also be happy to share my bed if you wanted,” Cooper says with a grin.

“Oh, you would, huh?” I ask, the playfulness making my nerves dissipate, helping me relax a little.

“Yes, I’m nothing if not hospitable to my guests' needs,” he says with mock seriousness.

“Do all of your guests get to share your bed then?” My eyebrow lifts in accusation.

Cooper grabs me and pulls me close to him. One hand holds the side of my face while the other wraps around my waist.

“No, only you,” he says seriously. I don’t have time to decipher what that means before he leans in to brush his lips on mine. What starts as a slow-burning kiss quickly turns into an erotic experience as our tongues duel and our bodies align, fitting against each other perfectly.

My hands fist in his hair while his slide around my waist to cup my ass and pull me into him. I am completely consumed. The break-in feels like a distant memory while I’m in this moment with him.

My whole body lights up from this kiss, and I need so much more.

COOPER

If I thought our first kiss was hot, it doesn’t even come close to the intensity of this one. I have never lost control quite like this. Having her pressed up against me is unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. I feel like I’m drowning in it, and I never want to come up for air.

Suddenly, Quinn pulls back from the kiss. Confused, and a little worried I pushed my luck with the ass grab, I pull back to see what’s going on and notice Piper is at our feet with a toy in her mouth. The sight of her sitting there, staring at us, patiently waiting to play makes me want to laugh. Smiling, I look back at Quinn and she looks at me. As soon as our eyes meet, we both burst out laughing.

Bending over, I give Piper some love. I’d be mad at her for interrupting us but she’s so dang cute I just can’t. I stand back up and pull Quinn into my arms to give her another kiss.

“You never answered my question,” I whisper against her lips.

“I got a little distracted. What was the question again?” Her face is flushed, and her hair is a little wild from my hands. She’s absolutely gorgeous.

“Which bedroom would you like to sleep in tonight?” I ask, running my nose up the column of her neck. She smells fantastic. Like wildflowers and sunshine. Quinn tips her head to the side to give me better access, and I kiss her from below her ear down to where her neck meets her shoulder, earning a moan.

“If I can have more of this, then I pick your bed,” Quinn sighs. I kiss my way back up her neck and then down the line of her jaw.

“You can have whatever you want if you’re in my bed,” I tell her, ending my exploration at her lips.

“Then let’s go to bed,” Quinn says, making me smile. I kiss her again, just because I can, and tell her I’m going to grab her suitcase and lock up downstairs.

Taking a deep breath, I try to calm my raging body. I don’t want Quinn to think I asked her to stay with me just to have sex, granted, that would be fucking amazing. I honestly did not want her to be in her house by herself after the break-in. I wanted to keep her safe, and even if all I get tonight is one perfect kiss, I’ll be happy.

I double-check all of the locks to make sure everything is as it should be. After going through what she did tonight, I don’t want Quinn to be worried about safety. Grabbing her suitcase and making sure Piper is following, I head back upstairs.

Piper goes to her bed and lays down, knowing we’re in for the night. I don’t see Quinn at first but find her in my bathroom. It’s good sized with a double vanity, a huge soaker tub I’ve never used, and a walk-in shower.

I watch her for a few moments as she looks around. Her long legs are on display in the cutoff shorts I love, and a tight t-shirt shows off her curves. I want to explore every inch of her with my hands and lips.

My cock stands up at the idea, making my pants tight. I quickly adjust and step into the bathroom.
