Fuck that. There was no way he was letting her second guess what had happened between them last night. He stepped toward her. She took a step back and hit the counter. Crowding her, he placed his hands on the counter on either side of her body, caging her in against him.
“Morning,” he said as he leaned in and placed a kiss on her lips.
“Morning.”
He leaned back so he could look her in the eye. She still had that wary look on her face. Bending, he rested his forehead against hers. “What’s going through that mind of yours?”
She chewed on her bottom lip. “I’m still not sure this is the best idea.”
Nope. Not happening. “You and I are the best fucking idea I think I’ve ever had. The only thing I’m questioning, Key, is when we tell Maxie. The rest isn’t even up for debate.” He leaned down slightly so they were eye to eye. “Are you having regrets about last night?” He sure as hell hoped not.
“No.” She smiled softly. “Not really. I probably should be, but no. I’m not regretting last night. I’m just feeling a little uneasy about being around Max with you.”
“Don’t be. You need us to take this slow where Max is concerned, and I respect that. Will I want to put my hands on you? Absolutely. Can I control myself? Yeah. I’ve been doing it for the past two months.”
She smirked. “Yeah, but that was before last night.”
“True.” He placed a kiss against her mouth. “But you need it to be this way, so it will be. Until you say otherwise. Cool?”
“Thank you.” She stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck. The second her body pressed against him his cock fired to life. He grabbed her hips and hoisted her up. Kia squealed as he set her ass on the edge of the kitchen counter and stepped between her legs.
She pressed her hand against his chest. “Hold up there, quick draw.”
He dragged his teeth across her neck, making her moan. “I think I showed you last night I can last as long as you need me to.”
She tilted her head to the side slightly, exposing the line of her neck. “Big difference between a quick draw and a hair trigger, big guy. No one is questioning your stamina.” He could hear the amusement in her voice as she spoke.
He ran his tongue up the length of her neck. “Then what are you questioning?” he asked right before he sucked her earlobe into his mouth.
Kia groaned, then pressed her hand against his chest to halt his movement. “Unfortunately, as much as I’d love to continue this, I have to pick up Max in half an hour, which means I gotta get dressed.”
He stepped back, adjusting himself in his jeans. “What’s on your agenda for today?”
“Not much, probably go to the park, pick up some groceries, then dinner at my sister’s.”
“Cool, you mind if I tag along?”
Her lips pulled in like she was going to run them together, then paused. “Um.”
“Kia, come on, I tag along with you all the time.”
“I know but…”
He stepped back between her thighs and rested his hand on the counter on either side of her. “No screw that. I’m not hanging out with you less just because of last night.” He looked at her. “Whatever this is, we’ll figure it out. We agreed we didn’t want anything to change for Max. But to figure it out, we gotta hang out. We clear?”
She smirked. “Yeah, we’re clear.”
“Good.” He stepped back. “I just need to brush my teeth and I’ll be ready to go.”
Her gaze slid down his body, lingering on the waist of his jeans. His dick twitched and she licked her lips.
“And maybe throw some underwear on. The whole commando thing isn’t really kid friendly.” She raised her eyebrows at him.
Glancing down, he saw how his dick tented his jeans. The half-done buttons had dragged his pants down slightly, making his treasure trail look less like a trail and more like a lit-up runway. Okay, yeah, maybe she had a point.
“Not that I’m complaining,” she said as she stepped around. She paused at the entrance to the kitchen. “And just for the record, the whole bossy thing you have going on this morning is hot.”
“Oh yeah? Then get back here.” He quickly took a step toward her. With a squeal, Kia jumped and raced down the hallway, looking over her shoulder at him as he chased her toward the bedroom. Just outside the door, he grabbed her, picked her up, and hoisted her over his shoulder.
