“This okay?”
I nodded, settling against him as he dragged the blankets up.
“Goddamn, Boo-Boo. Your feet are freezing.”
Despite the complaint, he didn’t pull away, just snared me closer until my back was firm against his chest. Freddie radiated heat. It didn’t take long for the shivers to fade in the cocoon he’d created around me.
The placement of his hands though, made me giggle. The first one escaped, and Freddie lifted his head. “Shh, you’re supposed to be sleeping.”
Pressing my lips together didn’t keep the sound from slipping out. He gave me a gentle squeeze. He had one hand on my side and the other on my ribs just below my breasts. The warmth of his fingers against my chilly flesh made me sigh.
But when he tightened his grip, I giggled all over again. Huffs of his breath feathered over my shoulder as he chuckled. Then he pressed his lips to my shoulder.
“You’re killing me,” he muttered a moment before curling his fingers against my ribs. The featherlight brush of sensation had me wiggling all over again. I was trying to be still for him, and he was tickling me.
Half-twisting to look over my shoulder, I clenched at the press of his erection through his shorts. I couldn’t quite make out his eyes in the dark, but Freddie pressed a kiss to my nose.
“Sorry,” I whispered, and it was his turn to laugh as he ran his fingers over my ribs, and then laughter spilled out of me.
“No, you’re not,” he countered. However the grin in his words pulled another smile from me, and when he went to tickle for real, a squeal escaped. “Shh,” he cautioned, but his smile made a lie out of the word even as he chuckled.
With light-fingered grace, he teased his hands up and down my sides until I was breathless with laughter. What started out as cuddles and tickles swiftly turned into wrestling. I managed to get my legs around him and then flipped him onto his back.
Anoofescaped him as I stared down at his face. My cheeks ached from grinning and Freddie snickered. “Boo-Boo is a badass.”
I flicked his nose. “And don’t you forget it.”
The mood turned electric. One moment we were playing the next, he surged upward and his mouth was on mine. The whole world went on a tilt-a-whirl as his lips teased mine apart before he traced his tongue lightly over my teeth in search of my tongue.
My arms wrapped around him, and I drank in his nearness and the taste of his kiss as he nibbled and sucked against my mouth. Teasing and playful one moment, heartfelt and passionate in the next. The rub of his shirt against my breasts was a tease but one I found myself craving.
Just like I did his nearness. Kissing Freddie offered a balm to my system that was equal parts soothing and sensual. We tumbled over to our sides and I fought the need to roll my hips. The only thing keeping us apart was his shorts. When he sucked against my lower lip, I fisted his hair.
The locks of golden blond tumbled around my fingers, soft and silky. I’d never really gotten to play with his hair before, and I licked at his lips as I teased my fingers along his scalp.
Tension threaded his arms when he lifted his head and I loosened my grip. Instead of pulling away, Freddie teased his nose to mine. “You feel good, Boo-Boo.”
“That’s the nakedness.”
The corners of his mouth twitched. I couldn’t see his eyes in the shadows, but the shape of his mouth, the gleam of his teeth—they were right there. “Maybe.” He ran his hands over my back, slow, stroking motions that made me want to stretch like a cat.
When his thumbs dug into a particularly stubborn muscle, I arched, and a hum of sound escaped me.
“Like that?” There was no mistaking the excitement invading his tone.
Then he hit another stubborn knot that I hadn’t realized was there. The pain twisted into pleasure as he worked it free. “Yes,” I groaned. He slid away from me and rubbed my back in a slow circle when I let out a complaining sound.
“Roll over, Boo-Boo.”
I didn’t wait to ask him why. I just rolled onto my back, and he essentially tweaked my nipple once—a light, brushing contact that was hilarious and teasing all at once.
“Other side.”
“Fine,” I huffed with a mock sigh and rolled my eyes. As soon as I was on my tummy, he rubbed his hands together and then settled both on my back. The even pressure spread warmth through my system, eradicating the stiffness and the unease.
The boneless river I’d floated on earlier surged up to drag me along as he started with my shoulders and then moved his way down along my spine. I wasn’t sure what he’d do when he got to my glutes, but the concentrated effort had me groaning.
“Boo-Boo…”
