Craning my neck, I see him standing in front of his chair, running a hand through his hair, then over his face. He pops a brow when I haven’t answered him.
“I walked,” I rush out and quickly stand, meeting his gaze head on.
He stares at me and softly shakes his head. “You’re not walking home alone. I’ll call my driver.”
He pulls his phone out of his pocket and is about to call, when I grab his arm to stop his movement. “Don’t be silly, it’s not far.”
I’ve not been brought up with that help and availability. He’s already been so kind, and I’m grateful, but I don’t want to overstay my welcome or take advantage.
His face is hard and his lips thin. “No. You’ll take my offer.”
A snort comes from Aria, and I turn to her, still sitting in her chair. Her face is amused, and she looks up at me, saying, “Just take the driver, trust me.”
I can’t help but laugh at her, clearly knowing her father better than me.
“You, sweetheart, go shower and get into bed.” He looks at Aria with a smile.
“I’m tired anyway. Night, Gracie. Night, Dad.”
“Goodnight, Aria,” I say with a warm smile as she waves at me.
She leaves the room and I go to take the empty bowls, but he touches my back, sending my pulse to rise. “Leave it, please. I’ll do it later,” he says softly.
I try to ignore how the one simple touch affects my whole body every damn time. The heat floods me where his hand is, and I straighten. When his hand drops, I miss the contact instantly.
“It will be done quicker if we do it together,” I say with a breathier voice than usual.
“No, it’s fine. I’m not tired.”
His tone has me standing and not fighting with him.
“Okay, and I’ll take the lift, but only because I’m tired. Work was busy this week.”
“Let me call, and I’ll walk you out.”
We leave the cinema room, and he texts on his phone. We take the stairs down, and he opens the door. When we step out, I see the black car waiting, so I make my way forward, but I’m pulled gently back by the arm.
My face an inch from his, I watch his eyes drop to my lips, and it makes my mouth suddenly dry. He brings his gaze to mine, and there is a silent plea. Licking my lips, I try to moisten them, and the way his handsome face looks at me sends a swarm of renewed flutters into my lower belly.
“I want you so much. Do you know how much I miss you?”
“No,” I breathe with a soft shake of my head.
“A lot. More than I should. But there is something unforgettable about you. And when you come here and spend time with me and my daughter, it hits me.” He taps his chest before reaching out to grab my hand.
I glance down at our joined hands and watch him rub his thumb over the back of mine in circles. They are soft and hypnotic. I drag my gaze back to his face.
“I’ve missed you too.”
He smiles and my heart swells. I love that smile on him. It’s my favorite. It’s soft and inviting. It totally melts me on the spot.
I reach out with my spare hand and grab his neck, stepping into him and closing the distance between us. And I don’t wait a second more before crashing my lips onto his. He doesn’t waste time either, kissing me back even harder and more passionately. Our joined hands disconnect so we can touch each other. Mine snakes around his neck to join the other one as I push my body flush against his. My breasts are heavy, and my nipples are peaked. Just being in his orbit again makes me horny. My tongue grazes his lips, begging for entry. And when he opens and tangles his tongue with mine, I can’t hold back the little whimper that escapes me.
It tastes salty and sweet and totally him. I can’t stop kissing him, even though I’m struggling to breathe. So I just inhale his oxygen.
He groans, and I can feel his hard, thick cock hitting my stomach through his pants. I can’t help but move a little, bringing his sexy grunts back.
His hand moves from my hips to my ass, pushing me harder into him. Holding my hips, he grinds me along his length. This is dangerous. I’m so close to asking him if I can stay, but that can’t happen. I still haven’t decided if we should date.
