“I’m fine,” he says, but he stands too.
“Come on,” I say, and this time, I take his hand and lead him over to the car.
We toss the last of our ice cream cones in the trash, and then we’re sliding into the car.
“When do you get your car back from the shop?” I ask as he cranks the heat and backs out of the parking lot.
“Tomorrow actually. I have to go there in the morning before I head to the office.”
“Big day then,” I comment, and he laughs.
“Kind of. We’re interviewing some people tomorrow so we can expand Knight Security.”
“That’s great, Rhett!” I say, twisting in my seat to face him.
“Thanks. We’ll have to go out and celebrate if we hire someone,” he suggests, and I grin.
“It’s a date.”
We pull into my apartment’s parking lot, and I hesitate when he parks.
“Did you want to come in and warm up a bit?” I ask him, and his eyes darken.
“Uh, sure. That would be great.”
He turns off the car, and we head inside in silence. Our eyes lock as the elevator doors start to close, and I lick my lips, wondering if he’s as ready to tear my clothes off as I am to do the same to his.
He follows me down the hallway to my apartment, and I shove the key into the lock, turn the knob, and slowly push the door open.
For one breathless moment, it’s like we’re both weighing our options. I think it’s obvious that if he comes in, something will happen between us.
Something real.
Do I want that?
My core clenches, and I know that I have my answer.
I take a step inside, turning to glance at Rhett over my shoulder.
“Maybe I should,” he trails off, and I don’t know what comes over me.
I can’t let him go, though. I want him more than I’ve ever wanted anything. Before he can say anything else, I reach out, twisting my fingers in his shirt and pulling him towards me. He sways in my direction, and I rise up onto my tiptoes, pressing my lips against his.
“Stay,” I murmur against his mouth, and he nods.
Then he’s taking over.
His hands clamp down on my hips and he pulls me flush against him. I can feel the hard ridges of his body against mine and my mouth waters. I want to lick him. I want to trace all his scars and muscles with my tongue, memorizing them to my mind.
He backs us up, and I start to trip over my own feet. Before I can fall, Rhett is lifting me up into his arms.
“You’ll hurt your back!” I say, and he laughs.
“Wrap your damn legs around me, beautiful,” he says, and I giggle as I do what he orders. “Where’s the bedroom?”
“Down the hall. The door at the end,” I gasp as his hands mold to my ass.
He starts to walk down the hallway, and I squeeze my thighs around him. My fingers tangle in his black hair, and I trail my lips up his neck, biting his earlobe between my teeth lightly.
