“Yeah, wishful thinking,” he said as he put it back and waved a hand at the shelves. “Yeah, times have changed. You need help with anything else? Want some KY massage oil or lubricant? I’d hate for you to pick up the self-warming without knowing.”
I shook my head, slightly mortified as I turned away. “No.”
“You’re welcome. See you at dinner,” Henley called out as I walked away. “Or should I tell the family you have other plans?”
“I’ll be there,” I growled. I had no doubt that by the time dessert was on the table, everyone would know that I’d bought this box of twelve.
I paid for the purchase and carried the little bag out to my truck, shaking my head at my luck. At least it wasn’t Huntley. Jesus, he would have sent out a mass text to the family and all of his friends.
At home, I took a shower and plugged my laptop in to charge. I brought up the design for her kitchen and printed it out. I could give it to Kayley to take home to Nolan.
Before I left, I stared at the box that I had bought, and then I tore it open and pulled out a condom and slipped it into my wallet. Not that I was going to have sex tonight, but at least I would be ready if the opportunity did come up in the future.
I was in traffic, heading to my parents’ when I saw Kayley turn from the direction of her house. In the passenger seat was Becky, her ward. Cam was working, so Nolan would be home alone.
At the last second, I made the turn toward Kayley’s house. I could drop off the rendering for her myself and still get to dinner on time. At Kayley’s home, I paused before I got out of the truck. Maybe I should have just given it to Kay and let it go at that. What would Nolan think of me showing up here uninvited?
I didn’t want to think about it. I was here, and I might as well drop it off. It would take two minutes tops.
I knocked on the front door and waited. A few moments later, the door opened. Nolan stood there with a towel wrapped around her head and another one around her body. “Brad, everything okay?”
I forced myself not to devour her with my eyes as I thrust the rendering out to her. “I thought you might want this so you can order the cabinets.”
She stared at it and then me. “Is that the only reason you came over here?”
“Yes.”
She smirked and reached for the rendering, only she reached past the paper and grabbed my arm, tugging me forward. “I think you came for a different reason.”
“No, I was going to give it to Kayley, but I was driving by, so I decided to stop and give it to you so she wouldn’t lose it.”
I stood in the foyer now, and Nolan studied me carefully. “You showered.”
“Looks like you did too.”
“There is a bed here.”
“Probably a couple,” I responded.
She pushed the door closed with one hand. “You realize that you are here alone with me now. Both of us are clean and in a house with multiple beds.”
“Yes,” I replied dumbly.
“What if my towel dropped to the floor right now? Would you bend down to pick it up for me?”
I swallowed. “Yes.”
With slow, purposeful hands, she took the edges of her towel and unhooked them. She paused for a second, staring up at me as she let it go, and it slithered to the ground.
Our eyes were still locked as she whispered, “Would you pick that up for me, Brad?”
I went to my knees, my eyes still stuck on hers until I touched the material of the towel, then they began to fall. I let them drift down her chest to her pert breasts, over her toned stomach, to her hips. I could imagine spanning my hands over those hips, pulling her to me. My gaze dropped further to the juncture of her legs, where her brown curls were neatly trimmed and hiding the sensitive flesh.
Nolan waited as I continued to follow her legs to the ground and noted her pretty light-blue toenails. Her name might be masculine, and she might be into sports and construction, but this woman was one hundred and fifty percent feminine.
I slowly let my gaze drift back up her body as my breathing grew ragged, and I began to get to my feet. I was halfway up when I dropped the towel from my grasp and instead put my hands on the soft skin of her waist. I ran them up the sides of her body, my thumbs brushing her perfect breasts, and I leaned forward and kissed her neck, then lower, then on her collarbone before I kissed a path lower. Slowly, I moved until I was about to suckle her nipple. I paused for just a fraction of a second, and her hand gently brushed over the back of my head, pulling me forward.
I latched on to her breast, palming the other one and squeezing gently. I went back to my knees as I lavished her other one and then her stomach. My hands held her hips firmly as I licked and kissed over the firm flesh of her belly.
