And she was so soft.
Tough Eva with her trash-talking swagger and bold fearlessness. She was satin to his steel. Like something in a song. Just right.
Lifting a hand, he cupped her face, angling her head so he could take more from her. He ran a hand down her side, feeling the heat beneath the silky softness of her dress. The hemline was short, the firm thigh beneath warm. He raised his hand until he cupped the curve of her ass.
“Mmm,” Eva said, her hands plunging into his hair, holding him to her. She moved against him and he loved how responsive she was.
Of course she would meet him toe to toe.
This was Eva.
This was …oh, shit.
He broke the kiss and dropped his hand. This was his friend. Not a hook up.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do that. I just… shit.”
Eva blinked up at him, flushed and so damn beautiful. “What?
“We can’t.”
“You’re sorry?”
“I mean, yeah, I shouldn’t have—“
“Why in the hell would you be sorry?” She interrupted, her frown almost pouty. Like a child who’d dropped her lollipop. “You don’t have to apologize for kissing me. I kissed you. You’re not the only person in this. Screw that.”
She jerked him by the belt back to her, grabbed his head, and tugged it down. Her lips covered his. Eva kissed like she did everything - very well. His body, still amped, fell in line.
This couldn’t be wrong. Not when it felt this right.
“Oh, sweet… mmm,” he moaned against her mouth, gathering her to him once more. He pulled his mouth from hers and started working his way down the column of her neck, inhaling sweet spiciness. Again, he curved his hand around the curve of her ass and lifted her against him, increasing the friction.
“What’re y’all doin’?”
Jake looked down to find Charlie standing at the door, clad in his pajamas, watching them intensely. Eva pushed against his chest and he stepped back.
"Charlie," Eva said, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. "What are you doing out here?"
"Looking for you." He said it with an unstated "duh."
"Oh," Eva said lamely.
"You and Jake looked like those people on TV. Remember?"
"Uh, yeah. No. We're not like those people."
Charlie nodded. “Well, they were wrestling and kissing in bed."
If it hadn't been so tense, Jake might have laughed.
Jeez. Kids.
"Uh, look, go back inside and get in bed. Read about the dump trucks and cranes again, buddy.”
Charlie looked at Jake. "You just kissed Eva. Does that mean you're gonna get married?”
“You don't have to marry someone to kiss them,” Jake said.
