“That sounds good.” Her voice was soft, and I leaned forward and touched my lips to hers in a tender kiss.

Roxy put her hand on the back of my head and held me there as I started to pull back. Our kiss deepened, and I shifted so that I was a little closer to her. She rolled to her side, bringing her chest to mine, and I wrapped my arm around her back.

One kiss led to another and then a dozen more. Her hands trailed along my back, shoulders, neck, and head, and I let my fingers drift along her side, to her hip. The blanket pulled away with our movement, and my hand rested on partial skin and the silky material of her panties. It was taking everything in me not to explore more, and when she shifted her hips toward mine, my hand continued its exploration.

My palm cupped her left cheek, squeezing gently as I fondled the soft skin that peeked out of her underwear. She shifted closer to me and lifted her left leg over mine as I nestled in between her thighs. My lips covered her face, her neck, and went back to her mouth.

I wanted to touch every inch of this woman, discover every freckle, mole, indent on her body. I wanted to know her taste, the sound of her sighs, her moans, her pleasure.

My fingers glided over the seam of her panties along her ass, craving to slide inside and find out what was hidden from view. My brother’s words echoed through my head, and as much as I wanted to continue this, I needed to back off.

I pulled back, cupping her face and resting my forehead on hers. “As much as I’d like to continue that, I think we should stop, and you should get some rest.”

She literally pouted, and I found myself laughing softly. “I promise we will take back up where we left off as soon as you are feeling better.”

“Fine,” she replied as she rolled away from me. “Question.”

“Answer,” I quipped back, and she grinned.

“Where are we going to sleep?”

“Well, I am giving you my room. I’m going to take the couch downstairs.”

She gnawed her bottom lip. “You don’t have to.”

“I’m not going to ask you to sleep on the couch, Rox.”

She took my hand. “No, I mean, you could stay in here with me.”

“I’m not sure that would be a good idea,” I said honestly. “You saw what just happened, having you next to me all night, I might not be able to stop.”

She gave me a sexy little smile. “Who said I wanted you to stop?”

I grinned at her and tweaked her nose. “I’m not sure how much sleep I would get beside you with your snoring.”

She looked playfully offended. “I do not snore.”

“You most certainly do, beautiful.” I climbed off the bed and came around to the other side. “When I was cleaning your kitchen, I heard you snoring away.”

“Really? Did I really snore?”

“Yes, but I do have to admit, it was cute.” I leaned down and kissed her forehead. “You get some rest. I need to get back to the kitchen. I’ll check on you in a little while.”

As I closed the door behind me, I realized that I had left a big chunk of my heart lying on the bed in my old room.

Chapter Seventeen

Roxanne

Iwatched the door close and tried to ignore the desire that bubbled in my bloodstream. Lee was right, I did need to rest my leg, and having sex with him minutes after obtaining new stitches probably wasn’t the smartest thing. That didn’t mean that I didn’t want to, because I absolutely did. I curled up on my side and closed my eyes.

As I began to drift off, his words filled my mind. Did I really snore? How embarrassing that he had heard me if I did.

I woke up when a knock echoed through the room, and I shifted to my back, pulling the blanket with me to cover my state of undress as Riley popped her head through the crack. “I’m sorry, were you sleeping?”

“I was dozing, but that’s alright. Come in.”

“The officer is here. Do you mind if I bring him up? Or would you rather come down?”
