When I’m inside, I shut the door and lean against it. I may have no idea what I’m doing, and I may have no idea how all of this will turn out, but I do know one thing.
I absolutely cannot stop smiling.
Chapter Twelve
Jonas
Ikissed her. I fucking kissed her.
My head is screaming at me that it is probably a terrible idea to get involved with a tenant who is renting a house from me, but my heart has never felt more alive.
When we were standing in the kitchen, I intended to let her go to bed without making any type of move. But when she looked at me before beginning to walk away, I swear I saw disappointment in her eyes. It’s like they were asking, no begging, for something more.
At that moment, I just had to know what it would be like to press my lips against hers. And fuck, it was worth it.
The way she smelled like cherries and vanilla.
The way she grabbed my shirt and held on like she never wanted to let go.
The way her lips were so full and soft against mine. And the way her mouth opened for me like it had been waiting for me for so long.
I’m still leaning against the kitchen counter, reliving those few moments in my head. My fingers run through my hair as I think about how I barely know this woman, yet she is getting under my skin like no one else has.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had anything more than a casual fling.
Ever since trying to force a relationship that just wasn’t right, I don’t stay in any type of relationship that isn’t meant to be. And I don’t promise women anything that I know I can’t deliver on. I don’t lead them on, and I don’t pretend to be their prince who shows up on a white horse.If I don’t feel a connection, I let them know that it will be casual and nothing more.
For some reason, though, I find myself entertaining the idea of something more with Andi, which is insane because there is still so much about her that I don’t know. But I can’t deny what I felt when our lips met. I don’t think I’ve ever had that feeling with anyone else.
No. IknowI haven’t had that feeling with anyone else.
Listen to me. My brothers would give me so much shit if they heard me so caught up in my feelings.
My head still swims with thoughts of Andi. Her smell still lingers in the kitchen, and my dick, which is now straining against the zipper of my pants, is practically demanding me to finish what I started.
My mind wanders, thinking about what it would feel like to have that luscious body of hers naked underneath me. What noises would she make as I slide in and out of her?
Dear Lord, my cock is throbbing just at the thought of it. Yeah, it’s been a couple of months since I’ve gotten laid, but I don’t know that I’ve ever been this hard. I’m going to have to take mattersinto my own handsthis evening.
Andi agreed to spend the day with me tomorrow, so I have to make sure I make it memorable for her. I have to show her the good parts of this town and make her fall in love with it. Then, maybe she won’t want to run back to California.
I knew there would be a few people in this town who would be assholes to her. The fact that she ran into Brenda Jenkins as her first one, though, is just sheer bad luck. She’s the worst of the worst. I don’t know if she will ever forgive me for what happened between her niece, Nicole, and me. She will always think that I am just a man-whore who broke Nicole's heart.
Now, anyone who is associated with me tends to be Public Enemy Number 1 to Brenda. Hell, she still gives my momma dirty looks in the grocery store. Of course, she will never come out and say anything outright. That would be far too rude for asweet Southern womanlike herself. Instead, she will bad-mouth me in hushed tones to everyone in town, trying to get them to join her on the dark side. Luckily, most people in this town like me more than they like her.Tomorrow, we will just have to find some of those people.
My mind swims with reasons why maybe getting involved with Andi might not be the best idea. I know nothing about her aside from her being a foster child and the fact that she’s from California. She could be bringing all sorts of trouble with her that I don’t need in my life.
Then again, maybe I’m due for a little bit of trouble.
I run my hand across the stubble starting to grow on my cheek, trying to clear my head. I decide that I don’t have to decide anything right now, and everything always seems a little easier after a good night of sleep.
So, I head off to bed to dream about the lovely Andi Nicholson…and maybe take care of my problem before falling asleep.
Chapter Thirteen
Andi
The next morning, I’m in the shower getting ready to start the day, and I can’t get last night’s kiss out of my head. It weighed on my mind all night. Thoughts of Jonas and I tangled up in the sheets occupied my dream. By the time I woke up, I was craving something, anything between my legs.
