She parted her lips a couple times, but then shook her head. “Never mind, have a good night.”
I pressed my lips together and gave her a nod before shutting her door behind me. Her face kept flashing behind my eyes, the look taking me a few moments to puzzle out. I stopped halfway down the stairs before spinning around and climbing them again.
I knocked on her door, bracing my hands on either side of the frame. My heart pounded in my chest, pure adrenaline racing through my veins like I was about to step into a free fall from ten thousand feet up.
“You forget something?” she asked as she opened the door.
“One night,” I breathed the words.
“What?”
“Let’s give ourselves one night,” I clarified. “One night to work out whatever is happening between us and then tomorrow we can go back to normal. I know we have to go back to normal, Brynn. I know things can’t remain tense between us like this, but I can’t stop thinking about you.”
“What about Lena?” she asked. “I know you two aren’t exclusive, but I’m not too keen on the idea of sleeping with you tonight only to be calling her a car from your house next week.”
I flinched, guilt twisting up my insides. I’d considered things over between Lena and I the second she put the ultimatum on me, but the last thing I ever wanted to do was make Brynn feel like she was just someone on a weekly roster.
“There is nothing between Lena and me anymore,” I answered. “We’ll see each other at events, I can’t avoid that. But there is nothing intimate anymore.”
Brynn considered that, a small smile shaping her lips.
“One night,” she said, tilting her head. “As in onetime?”
Fuck, my girl was negotiating? I went from semi-hard to full blown hard in the span of a blink. I pushed off the doorframe, stepping inside to shut and lock the door behind me.
“As many times as you can handle,” I said, cocking a brow at her and relishing the way she visibly swallowed. “And then it’ll be off our minds and we can go back to normal. Does that sound okay to you?”
Her tongue darted out to wet her lips before she nodded. “Those terms sound amenable.”
“I love it when you speak boardroom.” I grinned, reaching down to swipe an arm beneath her legs, hoisting her into my arms and cradling her against my chest. Her arms flew around my neck, her eyes never leaving mine as I walked us through her apartment and to her bedroom.
I gently sat her on the bed, the strangest combination of excitement and nerves twisting inside me. I hadn’t been nervous about bedding someone in years, but this wasBrynn.
One night.
I had one night to be with her with no restraints. I certainly wouldn’t waste it being fucking nervous.
Leaning down, I captured her lips with my own, the two of us crashing together like someone had just cut the ties holding us back. She sighed between my lips, her hands running over my chest as I licked into her mouth. The most satisfying little whimper escaped her throat, so I did it again.
“Wes,” she said, breaking our kiss just enough to look up at me. “How do we…” Her voice trailed off, a myriad of emotions playing across her features—lust, need, and just a bit of shyness that made me smile.
“I’ve got you,” I said, leaning down to hook my hands behind her knees, tugging her to the edge of the bed before dropping to my knees.
She gasped at the move, but didn’t stop me when I slid my hands up her thighs and slipped my fingers into the band of her pants.
“Do you trust me?” I asked, my voice raw. I waited on her answer like she held my entire life in her hands.
“Yes,” she breathed the word.
Relief uncoiled some of the tension in my chest, and I smirked at her. “Then let me take care of you.”
She lifted her sweet ass by way of answer, giving me the green light to drag the pants down her legs. And I did. Quickly. Her shirt too. She took care of her lace bra, tossing it among the growing pile behind me.
“Fuck,” I groaned at the sight of her bare before me. “You’re so damn beautiful.”
She looked like she wanted to argue, but I didn’t give her time before spreading her thighs apart and moving between them, slanting my mouth over hers in a hungry kiss.
I cupped her face in my hands, taking my time kissing her before gliding my fingers down her bare arms, and filling my hands with her breasts. I kissed down her neck and lower, flicking my tongue over one of her nipples before sucking it into my mouth.
