She leans on the island and sighs. “Yes, I think so.”
“You think so? I thought you were set on it.”
“I am. I was, but my parents….”
I cut her off before she can go down that road again. “Have no idea how brilliant you are and need to shut the fuck up.” I place the ground beef on the counter and balance my hands on the island as I lean into her. “Seriously, Tink. You need this. You light up when you talk about black holes and gravitational waves and I’m not going to let you throw your amazing brain away on dumb finance shit.”
Her lips twitch with a smile. “Not gonna let me, hey?”
“No, I’m not. The world needs people like you and little girls all over need to see beautiful women immersed in STEM subjects so they know they can do it too.”
“So it’s a public service?”
“Yes.”
I bury a grin as she rolls her eyes at me.
“You’re insane.”
“I’m brilliant and you know I’m right, so stop fighting this. Pick a school and apply. Fuck, pick several. They’d all be lucky to have you.”
“I did like the team at Harvard.”
“Then that’s what you’re going to do this afternoon while I make dinner. Start your application.”
She bites her lip and I thank God for the island between us hiding my reaction to her.
“Okay.”
“Good girl.”
A blush stains her cheeks and I swallow the groan. Why does her blush at me calling her a good girl make me want to bend her over this island and fuck her until she’s hoarse? Oh yeah, because I’m a prick that’s in love with his best friend and fucking his hand every night to the image of her on her knees with my dick in her mouth. Now I can add her fucking Xander to the jerk-off roster.
As I shape the meat into meatballs I watch her take out her phone and smile at the screen, her face lighting up and my chest heaves as the meat in my hand is crushed.
“He text you?”
Amelia glances up, her bottom lip caught between her teeth and I force the groan back down my throat at how hot that is.
“Yeah. He’s at the gym but is going to call me later.”
“Good, that’s good.”
Amelia cocks her head as she slides her phone into her pocket. “You okay, Beck?”
“Yep, all good. Do you want to pick a movie?”
“Sure.”
I finish molding the beef and begin cooking them off in the pan while I start the sauce, adding plenty of pepper as she likes it. The entire apartment smells divine and my stomach rumbles, but it will be a while before it’s done so I join Amelia on the couch. She’s awful at making a decision about movies and this process itself could take almost an hour. She can be the queen of procrastination sometimes, while I’m known for making split-second decisions. My job requires it, it’s what makes me a good surgeon, that ability to pivot quickly in a situation.
Three hourslater we’re lying curled up on the couch, Amelia’s head on my chest, her leg thrown over me. It’s not unusual for us to end up cuddled up like this and I have to admit I enjoy it far more than I should. She’d probably freak if she knew just how much I loved the feel of her body against mine. I guess that will stop if she gets serious with Xander, although it never did when she was with her other boyfriends, but I have a feeling Xander is different.
A whimper falls from her lips and I pull her hair gently away from her face to see she’s sleeping, her eyelids moving like she is dreaming. Her lips part on another soft moan and she squirms her body closer, her hips rocking against the hard muscle of my thigh. I still as the realization hits me. Amelia is having a fucking sex dream and using me to get off.
I should wake her, she’d be mortified, but when her hand trails over my chest, I close my eyes and relish the feel of her fingers on me. I turn, nestling her against me so I can watch her face, her body undulates slowly and I hook my hand over her thigh and settle her closer to me. Another whimper tears through her at the firmer contact and she begins to ride my leg, taking her pleasure from me, and it’s the hottest fucking thing I’ve ever seen.
Her neck is flushed, lips parted and I bend, wanting to kiss her more than my next breath, but I’d never violate her like that. This is bad enough and I’m definitely going straight to hell, but it’s worth eternal damnation to watch her fall apart.
