“I only need one.”
“We’ll see.” He winked at her. “Now, tell me what you want for dinner.”
“Ooh. Chinese? I haven’t had Chinese in years.”
“Years? Then you definitely need some.” They both added things to the cart. She still didn’t feel right about having him pay for everything, though.
Maybe she could start cooking meals and cleaning to help out. Especially when he was working.
And if she bought some groceries, he was hardly going to throw them out, right?
“Thinking hard there, Ladybug. Everything okay?”
“Yep! I was just wondering . . . does this count as a date?”
He stilled, then stared down at her. “It can . . . if you want that?”
“Yes, I do,” she whispered.
I’m going to be real clear right now. Do you want me to kiss you, baby?”
“Yes. If that’s what you want too.”
“Of course you do. Don’t you know how much I want to kiss you, taste you.”
“Yeah? Then how about less talking more kissing.”
“Brat,” he growled at her. “I ought to tell you no just to punish you.”
“Please,” she said with a pout.
“Well, since you’re begging me so prettily.”
Begging? She was not begging!
Her thoughts drifted away as he took her mouth with his. This time, she didn’t feel any nerves or panic. Just a warmth that built from the inside out. With a groan, she opened her mouth to deepen the kiss. His arm was wrapped around her back, steadying her as he made her head swim with pleasure, but he didn’t try to touch her anywhere else.
The doorbell rang, interrupting them. She let out a murmur of protest as he drew back.
Hack smiled down at her. “You liked that?”
Liked it? Her head was still spinning. But in a good way.
“Yes,” was all she could say. But satisfaction filled his face.
“That’s dinner. Let’s eat and then after dinner, I might give you some more kisses for dessert.”
That sounded perfect.

Shit.
He’d thought it might be easier to sleep in his own bed.
It wasn’t.
Not when he knew she was just across the hall and might need him. What if she woke up and didn’t know where she was? Needed to pee and stubbed her toe trying to find the bathroom?
