“I’ll leave it up to you.” Spencer releases me and makes a plate, handing it to me with a smile. “Eat.”
“Yes, sir.”
His chocolate eyes darken, and I can feel the blush coating my cheeks. I didn’t mean for it to be sexual, but who am I kidding? This is Spencer, and he’s sex personified. Of course, his mind would go there. Or maybe it’s just me.
I take a seat at the island next to Audrey, and Spencer takes the seat next to mine. He places his hand on my thigh, and that’s how we eat. Audrey and Spencer talk as if they’re long-lost friends, and I guess they kind of are. She was engaged to his best friend, so of course, they know each other well enough to keep the conversation going.
“Thanks for breakfast, Spencer. I need to shower and head out.”
“What are your plans today?” I ask her.
“Oh, just doing some shopping. You’re welcome to join us.”
Spencer squeezes my thigh. “I want to spend the day with you, but if you promise I get you tonight, I’ll concede the day.”
“Is that you giving me permission?”
“No. You don’t need my permission, Charlie. This is me telling you that I demanded to spend the day with you, but if you want to go with your sister and the girls, come home to me. That’s all that I ask.”
“Damn, Spencer.” Audrey whistles, making him laugh.
I look over at the man sitting next to me. He’s so open about us, just as he said. He’s not hiding. He doesn’t care that Audrey heard him. “I want to spend the day with you,” I tell him. My voice is softer than his, but I have no doubt that my sister heard me. Her next words prove she did.
“Sounds good. You kids have fun.” She waves and rushes down the hall to her room.
“You chose me,” Spencer says, leaning in close, his lips hovering over mine.
“I guess I did.”
“Mine,” he says as our lips touch. The kiss is deliberate and slow, perfect for a lazy Saturday morning. When he pulls back, he watches me for my reaction.
“So, what’s the plan?”
“Can we stay at my place tonight? I want you in my bed.”
“Yes. I need to shower and pack some clothes. Tomorrow, I’ll need to be home to grocery shop and do laundry to get ready for the work week.”
“Pack your bag. You can shower at my place.”
“With you?”
“Is that what you want, Charlie?”
I nod. He makes me feel bold and empowered. Like I can step out of my structured shell and ask for what I want. What I want right now is to spend the day with him. For the first time since losing my parents, I want something for me, not because of a job or a scholarship. Something all for me, just because I want it, and I want Spencer.
“Anything you want, baby. Go pack a bag. I’ll clean up.”
“I can help.”
“I got this. Go get what you need.”
“Thank you for breakfast.”
He smacks me on the ass. “Go, Charlie.”
I stick my tongue out at him, laughing as I rush to my room to pack a bag.
