I moan around his tongue, trying to find a way to tell him how much I need him too, but he draws back, panting into my lips.
“I value you too much to fuck you on a doorstep, little one.”
Unexpected tears spring in my eyes from the sincerity of his hoarse admission. In the haze of lust, I could have easily given in to temptation.
For him to rein in his desire out of respect for me, overwhelms my emotions. I nod and wrap my arms around him, thanking him without words so he doesn’t know I’m about ready to cry.
When he strokes over my head and down my braid, I know he’s soothing me just as much as himself. He inhales deeply and then kisses my forehead.
“I don’t want to let you go.”
“I don’t want you too either.” I grab onto his jacket, drawing up my courage. I’ve talked dirty over the phone but never in person. But Gaspar makes me feel brave. “Tonight, when I’m in your bed, I want your hands all over me.”
His thick fingers sink into my hair, gripping the strands to the point of pain and hauling me up to my tiptoes.
“My hands and my tongue and my cock will be everywhere on you, have no doubt.”
“I don’t.”
“Good.” He growls and lowers me to my feet. “Now I have to get in my vehicle before your friend sees how hard you’ve made me.”
I can’t help but look. His bulge is enormous in his pants, and I wish I didn’t cause him such pain. “Okay, I’ll see you in a few hours.”
Swear words rip through the chilly air as he strides to his enormous luxury SUV, slamming the door after he climbs in. My heart flutters that he doesn’t drive away, ensuring I make it inside safe before he leaves.
I blow kisses to him and then tap on the door before twisting the knob. “Hey, knock, knock. I’m here.”
“In the kitchen!”
Bree sounds thrilled to see me, and I realize I’m just as ecstatic. I’ve missed my friends. I follow the enticing scent of garlic interlaced with rosemary.
Three flutes of champagne line the counter next to the stove where she’s whipping homemade mashed potatoes. Even though she hates them, she makes them for Alex when she’s in a good mood since they’re his favorite.
I grab the stack of plates and start setting the table. “It smells amazing in here. What are we celebrating?”
When she glances at me over her shoulder, I swear she glows happier than I’ve ever seen her. I want to run over and hug her but restrain myself since she’s got her hands full with a hot pan.
She nods toward the door leading out to their small deck. “We were going to tell you together but since he’s outside grilling the steaks, I’ll tell you.”
I laugh. “Grilling in December?”
Her giggle accompanies mine. “I know, I know. But he wanted to.”
After settling the pot on the burner, she spins around and points to her ring finger that is now decorated with a square diamond.
“We’re getting married!”
Oh my god! I scream too and jump into her arms. “I can’t believe it. Congratulations!”
“Thank you!”
We squeeze each other tight. “How did it all happen?”
She releases me, and I grab her wrist, so I can study the sparkling rock. “It’s really, really beautiful.”
“Thank you. He did good, didn’t he?”
I’m so proud of Alex. My brother would be proud of his best friend too. “Yes!”
