He nods. “Of course.”
I grin. “Don’t move, okay? I’ll be back.”
Half an hour later, I find Todd entering the house with Sarge next to him. “He had to make one more trip before bed,” he says as he meets me on the couch. “You ready for tomorrow?”
“I think I am.”
“Want me to rub your hands?” The question doesn’t surprise me, but I’m not about to refuse an offer of a massage. Back when we were together, Todd traded massage classes at a nearby school with handyman work, and he got pretty good at it.
“I’d love one.”
He pats the space next to him. “Come here.”
I lean against him, the first time we’ve closed the distance all day. Sure, we flirted at the festival, but it was impossible to be alone like this and have a moment together.
He takes my hand, running his fingers over my palm and stretching the skin with slow, steady strokes. “That feel okay?”
I chuckle. “Are you kidding? It feels great. Keep going.”
“Lean back then. Get comfortable.”
I rest my head on his shoulder as he continues to massage my hand, rubbing each finger together between his thumb and index finger and finishing with a gentle pinch at the tip.
I love the feel of Todd’s hands against my own. Rough worker hands that feel both gentle and strong.
After Todd finishes massaging one hand, he moves to the next one. I close my eyes, loving the feeling of being in his arms. “I’ve missed this,” I whisper. “I’ve missed us.”
He doesn’t say anything right away. He gently massages my hand, stretching each finger with the same flick at the tip until he finishes with the pinkie finger.
Suddenly he presses a kiss to the center of my palm. “I’ve missed you.”
The utter devotion in his kiss takes my breath away, and for a moment, all I can do is experience the electricity running through my body.
“Todd…” I turn to face him, lifting my face higher to meet his. My lips brush with his, and the contact takes my breath away, making my stomach clench and my chest tighten. His mouth claims me then, deepening until I find myself twisting my body toward him. I don’t want to let go of this feeling of being wanted and desired. Craved.
“Why don’t we straighten you out?” he murmurs as I pull away just long enough to straddle him and gaze into his eyes, those cerulean blues I used to wake up to so long ago.
“How’s that?”
“So much better,” he murmurs before covering my mouth with his tongue stroking and tasting me. I moan, my body humming from the way he holds me, his hands sliding down my back, slipping under my shirt to stroke my bare skin.
His mouth leaves my lips to blaze a trail of kisses down my neck, sucking the soft skin between my neck and shoulder. When his thumbs graze my hard nipples, I moan again. Is it a crime to want more, so much more?
I help him pull my shirt off, leaving me naked except for my pajama bottoms. Chuckling, I tug on his shirt and slide it over his head. He’s perfect, the tattoos on his chest and arms telling a story I’ll find out more later when we have more time. For now, I only want to take him all in.
“You’re so beautiful,” Todd murmurs, his fingers digging into the skin of my hips as the thick hard length of his erection rubs between my thighs. He cups the nape of my neck, holding me in place as he kisses me on the lips again, breathing me in as my body melts against his.
“Hang on.” He wraps his arms tightly along my midsection and gets up from the couch. Still kissing me, Todd carries me to his bedroom and deposits me on the bed.
“Are you sure about this?” he asks, and I nod.
“I’ve never been surer in my life.”
Todd presses a kiss between my breasts, taking one nipple in his mouth, worshipping it with his tongue as I wound my fingers in his hair. I catch my breath when he runs his tongue along my hipbone before pulling my pajama bottoms down.
“So beautiful,” he murmurs, planting a kiss over my mound.
“Don’t tease me, Todd.”
