I snorted. “At least that’s better than watching someone in high heels do it. I swear, if I see someone like that today, and they trip, I might temporarily forget to be a gentleman.”
Emmy laughed. “I think that’s allowed, from time to time, for stupidity.”
We smiled at each other, and my heart warmed, forgetting all the reasons I should keep this woman at a distance.
Besides, merely spending the day with Emmy wasn’t the same as my going down onto one knee again.
Clearing my throat, I went to my bag and took out my hiking boots. “I’ll clear out the rest of the stuff from my car while you get ready.”
I left without another word and tried my best not to imagine Emmy stripping off her dress. Or how it’d fall to a puddle at her feet, revealing nothing underneath but her beautiful body.
Breasts I could cup, nipples I could pluck, and a pussy I could claim with my mouth, hands, and dick.
Blood rushed south, and I did my best to tame my erection. I couldn’t let Emmy know how she affected me.
I unloaded the car and put everything into storage for tomorrow morning. As I waited, I ignored every reason I shouldn’t spend so much time alone with Emmy today.
Because after hearing about how she wanted to add a Tahoe sunset to her wall, I couldn’t back out. I wanted to make her smile and laugh and just be there for her when she was too stubborn to ask for help.
Fuck, it was almost like I wanted her to trust me and maybe even confide in me.
No.We were sort of friends now but nothing more. Being a dick to her was childish, and I wouldn’t do that any longer.
However, the trick would be keeping my cock from noticing her and keeping my thoughts platonic.
ChapterSeventeen
Emilia
Abby:Are you free for lunch today? Stella’s taking me to the best burrito place ever, according to her.
Me:Sorry, I can’t.
Abby:Can’t or won’t? Are you drooling over a new book boyfriend?
Me: You read the same books as me.
Abby:I know. That’s why I can tease you! But a book boyfriend won’t become real, no matter how much we want them to. Sigh.
Me:I’m not staying inside. I’m going on a day trip.
Abby:Where? Why didn’t you invite me?
Me:Well…
Abby:Spill. Otherwise, I’ll unleash my inner Aunt Lori and go all naughty emojis on your ass. See what I did there?
Me: Fine. Someone invited me.
Abby:Ooh, who! Tell me!
Me:West. And just shut up now.
Abby: To be continued…
Iwasn’t sure why I agreed to go to Lake Tahoe with West. Yes, it was beyond gorgeous, and I’d wanted to go back for a while now. However, being alone with him for hours wasn’t the best idea. Because if he started to show more of his softer side, the one that bought me my favorite flowers, my resistance would crumble.
Part of me wanted to give in. To touch West’s hot, bare chest and run my hands over his muscled body. Maybe even as I rode him hard, digging my nails into his skin, watching his eyes flare with heat as I came around his cock.
