My gaze lands on the bouquet. She really did leave them in a spot where they’d be directly in her line of sight. Now I’m even happier I remembered to send them.
I move closer to her and study the arrangement for a few seconds. I wanted to give her something pretty, and unique—like her. “They reminded me of you.”
“You said that.” She presses closer to my side, brushing her arm against mine.
I turn to face her and lean in, inhaling her fresh, clean scent. With one hand, I sweep her hair over her shoulder and brush my lips against her neck, over her pulse.
“Oh.” She gasps in surprise and angles her head to give me room.
I clamp one hand on her hip and pull her against me. The sweetest moan passes her lips. Her fingers dig into my shoulder, bracing herself. I find my way to her lips again and she opens for me immediately. Her fingers slide from my shoulder into my hair, tugging with an eagerness that makes me groan.
Somehow, I work my hands between us, tugging at the tiny hidden buttons of her blouse. Jesus, my big hands werenotmade for buttons this damn small. It takes some finessing but I work the first few loose.
Emily lets out a throaty laugh and pulls back, quickly unbuttoning it the rest of the way and letting the material slip from her shoulders. She tosses the blouse on the desk.
Fuck me. I step back and take in the bright-pink bra barely containing her breasts and run my hand over my chin.
She brings her hands to the button of her jeans and plays with it for a second. “Should I continue?”
“Definitely.”
Laughing at my not-fucking-around response, she slowly slides them over her hips. Matching pink panties come into view. Damn, that’s cute.
“You match the roses,” I say. At least I think so. I can’t take my eyes off her long enough to verify.
The corners of her mouth quirk. “Happy accident.”
“Indeed.” I wave my hand between us. “Continue.”
“This seems unfair,” she says, curling her fingers around the hem of my T-shirt.
“What?”
“Take this off. I want to see more of you.”
“This?” I pinch and pull the fabric away from my chest. “I thought you liked this shirt on me. Now you want me to take it off?” I frown with fake confusion.
Her mouth slides into a sly smile. “Idolike it on you. But I think it’ll look even better over there.” She jerks her thumb over her shoulder toward her desk.
“All right.” I strip it off and toss it next to her blouse.
She sucks in a quick breath. “Holy fuck, you’re hot.” Awkward laughter follows and she slaps her hand over her mouth. “Sorry.”
I curl my fingers around her wrist and drag her hand away from her lips. “Why? I want you to like what you see.”
“Oh, I like. Very much.” She steps closer and lightly runs her fingertips over my shoulders, leaving a shivery sensation behind. My dick’s painfully close to punching a hole through my jeans.
Then, she leans in and presses a kiss over my heart.
For a second, I’m too stunned by the sweet gesture to respond. She lifts her gaze to mine. Even with the wicked smile playing over her lips, there’s something vulnerable shining in her eyes.
“Come here.” I grip her chin and tilt her head, then fuse my lips to hers. She mashes up tight against me. The silky fabric of her bra sliding over my skin. Her hands tickle along my spine, then sneak under the waistband of my jeans.
Together, we shuffle and nudge each other toward the bed. She hits it first and drops onto the mattress, breaking our kiss.
Quick and eager, she kneels in front of me and tugs at my belt. She has the lightest wash of freckles over her chest and shoulders. How did I miss those before?
“Easy.” I close my hand over hers. “There’s no rush.”
