He arches a naughty brow. “Oh yeah? What’s that?”
Threading my fingers into his thick, delicious hair, I cock my head to one side. “Start a book club?”
He grins. “A book club?”
“Yes, a book club. Right now. No better time to start a book club than midnight on a Friday night.”
“And what book would you suggest we start with, Miss O’Leary?” he asks, backing me toward the bedroom.
“Crime and Punishment? I’ve always meant to read it. It’s a classic. Deals with important themes like alienation and human suffering.”
“Yeah, it’s a page turner, all right,” Drew says as he kisses his way down my throat.
“Oh darn, you’ve already read it?” I tip my head back, luxuriating in every caress of his lips. Damn, this man can kiss. His lips are a thing of skillful, unparalleled beauty, and they’re mine, all mine.
Just thinking about it is enough to make my heart somersault.
“Yep,” he says. “Had to do a paper on it in my freshman English class. We could read The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka instead. Similar themes with bonus ‘man turning into giant cockroach’ action.” He stops kissing me long enough to push open the door to the bedroom. He glances in, with a judgmental grunt. “A full bed. I was hoping for at least a queen. I’m going to need space for all the things I want to do to you.”
“All the reading you want to do, you mean,” I correct, not done with this game quite yet. “And I’ve decided what book we should choose. It came to me in a moment of brilliance.”
He casts an affectionate look my way as we sway into the bedroom, and he shuts the door behind us. “You have a lot of those. Moments of brilliance.”
“Except when I walked away from you tonight,” I say, serious again for a moment. “That was a moment of dumbness.”
“More like a moment of fear.” He smooths my hair from my forehead. “And we all have them. So, what’s this book we’re going to read? I’m really hoping I’ve already read it so I can skip straight to getting you naked while you start chapter one.”
“Jane Eyre,” I whisper, as the backs of my knees touch the mattress. “You know why?”
“Because he falls in love with the nanny, of course,” he says, warmly.
“That’s exactly right,” I say with a sigh. “Could you be more perfect?”
“I don’t know,” he says, mischief in his eyes again as he shucks his suit coat and tosses it to the ground. “Let’s find out, shall we?”
He tackles me onto the bed, making me giggle. But pretty soon, giggling is the furthest thing from my mind.
“Yes, take it off,” I say as he unbuttons my pajama top. “All of it. I need to be naked with you.”
“And I need to be inside of you.” He pauses just as he’s about to kiss the top of my breast, lifting his gaze to mine with a stricken look. “Condoms. I don’t have any.”
“I don’t care,” I say, shrugging out of my top and pulling the cami over my head. “I’m on the pill and the condom broke last time anyway.” I loop my arms around his neck, pulling him in for another kiss so I can murmur against his lips, “And I want that savage cock of yours in me bare.”
He curses softly. “Savage, huh? I hope that’s a good thing.”
“It’s the best thing,” I say, moaning as he slips his hand down the front of my pajama pants and panties, sliding a finger inside me.
“You’re already so wet,” he says, adding another finger with an approving sound low in his throat.
“I’m wet pretty much any time you’re close enough to touch,” I confess. “When you came downstairs while I was making pancakes the other day, just feeling you standing behind me was enough to ruin my panties.”
“Fuck, woman,” he says, rubbing his thumb around my clit, making me squirm. I don’t need a ring to add sensation with Drew. Drew’s touch is enough to light me up like a neon cowboy. “Keep talking like that and I’m not going to last any longer than I did the first time.”
“I don’t care how long you last,” I say honestly. “Because I know I’ll get to be with you again and again and again.”
He exhales a shaky breath. “That sounds so good. You have no idea. Every night this week, I just wanted you to stay. Watching you walk out my door was physically painful. ”
I lift my hips, easing his way as he rips the rest of my clothes off and starts to work on the buttons on his dress shirt. “Same for me. It just felt so wrong.” I bite my lip, torn between excitement over the impulsive thing we’re going to do and worry about how it might affect Sarah Beth. “You don’t think me moving in will upset Sarah Beth, do you? Or confuse her?”
