Not likely. A vibration in my pocket revealed that I was receiving a text. I dug out my phone and glanced down. The message from Sax said to meet everyone at Grinders, the club’s bar, in half an hour. Shit. I met Harlow’s knowing eyes across the table. I didn’t want to eat and run, but this was my life, and it was something she would have to get used to.
A sigh escaped her. “Then can I have all the crepes?”
I paused from shoveling a forkful of eggs into my mouth, meeting the amusement in her eyes. Her eyes may have been smiling, but I had a feeling that she was dead serious about the crepes. “What do I get in exchange?” I took the bite.
Her sexy smile warned me she had something in mind, but nothing prepared me for when she slowly pulled her robe apart and flashed me her luscious tits. Fuck. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from those perfect globes. There was something to be said about real tits, and Harlow’s were about as real as you could get. Full and weighty, while still being perky, satiny smooth flesh topped with tasty rose-colored berries, and I suddenly wanted a bite.
I almost choked on my eggs and quickly swallowed. “You don’t play fair, babe.” Fuck, if I’d had the time I would have given up breakfast to feast on her. But I’d want all day for that.
She smirked and raised her brow. “Welcome to my world.” She closed her robe and my eyes shifted to hers. “Now give me the crepes! Or do I have to show you more?”
Jesus. It wasn’t as if I hadn’t already seen her naked, but these teasing glimpses and Harlow’s playful mood was a turn on. My dick pounded behind my zipper, wanting to get at her. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to keep from lunging at her. I felt around for the bacon on my plate, snatched a piece, and proceeded to eat it with my eyes closed.
Laughter filled the kitchen. As I chewed my bacon, a subtle noise alerted me that Harlow had moved, and when I opened my eyes again it was to see that the crepes on my plate had been stolen. She sat across from me contentedly munching on them, a challenge in her eyes.
“Should never have closed your eyes,” she said around a mouthful.
She had a dash of cream and fruit at the corner of her lip, and when her tongue came out to lick it away, I nearly lost it. I growled and shook my head. “If I had time, I’d put you over my knee. I still might later.”
She ignored my threat. “Yum! Those were good.” She licked her fingers and picked up her coffee to take a sip. “Thank you for breakfast.” Her eyes met mine over the rim. “Do you really have to go?”
And just like that, the atmosphere turned serious. “Yeah. We’re dealing with something right now and everyone is needed.”Shit,I immediately scolded myself.I shouldn’t have told her that.
“Is it dangerous?” There was concern in her eyes, turning them darker.
I quickly finished my eggs and then drank down my lukewarm coffee, buying myself some time from having to answer her without making it seem as if I didn’t trust her, especially after the shit I’d given her last night. In time I’d be able to share some things with her, but the kind of business the club was dealing with now would never be one of them.
I sighed deeply and pushed back my chair. “Driving to work can be dangerous.” There was no comparison to the danger I faced daily as a member of Desert Rebels, but it may have been enough to keep her from asking more questions. When a gradual smile of acceptance spread across her face, I felt relief. She was willing to drop it for now. “Come here and give me a kiss goodbye,” I ordered gruffly.
She eagerly got up and took the few steps to me. I didn’t hesitate to wrap my arm around her waist and jerk her roughly against me, needing to feel her soft body conform to my hard one. I slammed my mouth down on hers, tasting the sweetness of the crepes she’d just eaten, groaning with hunger. I kept it short because I had to, or I knew I would never leave. “Damn, you taste sweet,” I acknowledged. “Those were some damned good crepes.”
A husky laugh escaped her. “Maybe I’ll have something just as sweet waiting for you when you come back.”
There was a promise in her eyes that I couldn’t miss. I ran the tip of my finger over her bottom lip, trying to ignore my throbbing dick. Jesus, I was never going to survive this woman. “You’re all the sweetness I need, babe. I need to get dressed and get out of here.”
I headed back to the bedroom and quickly finished getting dressed. When I reentered the outer room, Harlow was busy clearing off the table. Our eyes met, and we both smiled as I walked back to her. “Have fun at Bobbie’s this afternoon.” I kissed the tip of her nose and then turned to leave.
Harlow was right behind me. “I will. And you be careful, honey.”
I’d been two steps away when I swung back around and went to her. I swept her into my arms, ignored her gasp of surprise, and planted a long, hot kiss on her. “That word,” I growled, “fucking gets to me every time you call me that.”
Her wide smile was the kind of thing a dying man would like to see on his way to hell. I couldn’t wait to get back to her.
