“Holy shit,” she breathes out, her chest heaving as her forehead falls against mine.
I smile, a low chuckle falling from my mouth. “Holy shit is right. See how good moving back home could be?”
Zoey laughs, her arms around my neck tightening as she shifts closer, my dick still buried inside her. “You make a very tempting offer, Mr. Morrison,” she teases.
With a wink, I reply, “And this is only the start of my bargaining,” I say. “I have so much more up my sleeve to convince you.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah,” I whisper, closing the distance between us as I press a soft kiss to her lips. “It is.”
She deepens the kiss, teasing me with her tongue. “Well, I very much look forward to seeing what you have to offer,” she says, and I can’t help but laugh, my hand squeezing her gorgeous little ass again.
“And I can’t wait to show you.”
She laughs, pulling back a little, her arms resting on my shoulders as she watches me. “How was the rest of your day?”
Her question, so innocent and so inconsequential, still has my heart swelling in my chest. Not just that she’s asked, but that she cares, that she’s here now, asking me because she genuinely wants to know. It makes me realize what Brandon was talking about all those times he told me how when you find the perfect person, everything will matter. How all you’ll ever want to do is spend every second of every day with them.
That’s how I feel about Zoey now and it’s only been a few days.
How the fuck is this all going to feel weeks, months, years from now?
“Ethan?” she prompts.
I smile, wrapping my arms around her waist as I hold her close. “My day was good and actually, I have something I want to run by you.”
“Oh?” she asks, genuinely curious.
“Yeah,” I reply, before filling her in on the same plan I explained to Brandon on the phone earlier today. “So, what do you think?” I ask when I’ve laid it all out to her.
She’s said nothing the whole time I’ve been speaking, her bottom lip pulled between her teeth as she listens. Now though, I watch as that gorgeous mouth of hers pulls into a smile, her eyes lighting up. “I think it’s a fantastic idea,” she says, her hand brushing the hair back from my forehead.
I smile. “You gave me the idea,” I whisper.
“No,” she says, shaking her head.
“Yeah, you did, Zo,” I reply, giving her a soft kiss. “Which is why, when Brandon says yes, I really want you to run point on it all. Manage the whole project for me.” I pause, giving her another soft kiss. “What do you think?”
Chapter22
Zoey
His question hangs in the air, the answer on the tip of my tongue, but I’m instantly brought to a place I shouldn’t go. I think about all the people who will say I landed this role because of my relationship with Ethan. It’s one of the reasons we decided it would be best to keep it a secret, and now I can’t help but think, in the back of Ethan’s mind, he knew he wanted me for this.
With my lips brushing against his, I smile, not wanting to answer him just yet, so I whisper, “I’ll make a deal with you.”
“Is that so?” Ethan flirts back, his hand grabbing my ass.
“Here’s the deal. We don’t talk about work when you’re buried inside me,” I tell him, still beaming, not only at the idea that Ethan thinks I’m a good fit to run the Badger Creek expansion, but that I’m here with him, living a life I’ve always wanted. “And I need to sleep on it. Can you give me till tomorrow?”
“How about this?” Ethan replies, shifting so he’s fully buried inside me again. “You sleep on it and we only talk work when we’re at work?”
“I didn’t say I didn’t want to talk work with you, I just said when we’re fucking, we only talk…” I stall out, trying to think of the right words.
“Dirty?” Ethan says, filling in my missing words, and we both start laughing.
“I like that idea,” I admit, leaning in to kiss him.
