I step toward her, pulling her into me by her hips. “Sure. I’ll come by for bath time tomorrow and help you wash up.”
Claire laughs, swatting at my shoulder. “Sounds like the only one around here dirty enough for a bath is you.” Turning her back on me, she makes it two steps before I grip her hips again and slam her back into my chest.
I curl over her, lips grazing her ear. “Seriously, why the fuck are you not wearing pants?” My hands skim over the side of her breasts, the dip of her tiny waist. “Or a bra.”
I feel her cheek heat against mine as she squirms. “I was getting ready for bed,” she manages. It’s an unconvincingly convenient excuse, piss-poor even. “I wasn’t expecting to find a spider in the hallway or having to call you down here.”
I release her with a smile and clap a palm to her ass. “Go put on some pants before I get any wrong ideas.”
She snorts, stalking off down the hall. “As if you don’t already have them.”
Growling, I lunge forward and grab her wrist, spinning her back to me. “You’re right. I’ve already got them.” I haul her over to the couch, throwing her down with a bounce and a yelp. “No pants for you.”
She scurries backwards but doesn’t hesitate to reach for the neck of my shirt as soon as my knee touches down between her legs.
And then I’m on top of her, my tongue sweeping through her mouth, her hands buried in my hair as her hips thrust up, grinding against my thigh. I can’t help smiling against her mouth, because as much as she tries to resist this, Claire wants me. There’s something here between us, and it’s not one-sided.
But as much as I want to see how far I can take this tonight, I kinda wanna leave her wanting more, wanna put her in the shoes I’ve been wearing these last few days.
So, for a moment, I kiss her harder. It’s teeth clashing, lip biting, hair pulling, leg grinding.
And then I pull back.
The two of us are breathless, Claire’s green eyes wide, her face flushed, lips swollen and glistening. And her panties…fuck.
I bite my knuckles, looking at the dark, damp spot between her legs. I can smell her. She smells…ready. So fucking ready.
“What are you doing?” she rasps out, struggling to sit up as her chest heaves.
I dip my head between her legs, press my lips to her wet panties, feel the heat seeping out of them, and then stand, adjusting my cock, which is happily standing at full attention. The corner of my mouth lifts at the way Claire’s gaping at me right now.
“Gotta go, beautiful.” I drop my lips to her surprised pout and stalk off toward the door. “See you in the morning.”
Except I’m not inside my condo for more than ten seconds before I’m hitting send on that text before I even know what I’m writing.
Me: Dinner?
Claire Bear: ???
Me: With me. Tomorrow.
Shit. I think I’ve got a crush.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Avery
I’ve got a giant grin plastered on my face as I step out of the car and onto the curb in front of the brewery, the late May sunshine warming my back. It’s hot already and it’s only quarter to nine in the morning. I’m way early for our meeting with the contractor, but I figure I can chat with Dex and annoy Claire.
But the current reason for my smile is a feisty little ginger with bright green eyes, and not the one whose skin I plan on crawling under when I get upstairs.
Casey: Sorry man, Vivi insisted I send this to you. She pulled my hair.
I open the attached video and find Vivi doing several wobbly leaps in the air and spinning around in circles, all while scream-singing the words to a song about snow and ice queens. Then she runs to the camera, smashes her face right up against it, and says, “Hi A’wy! You like ma dancin’?”
“Whatcha watchin’?”
