Because obviously she sucked at adulting and needed a big strong man to help her out.
Wow.Where did that snarky thought come from?
Stupid emotions.
Jane couldn’t deny the fact she felt like a total loser. A week earlier she’d had goals and plans and a mission statement.
She’d scrimped and saved and worked two jobs to make her dream a reality, and now here she sat, ripped off, knocked up, let down and screwed over.
And she hated it, hated feeling so helpless, so hopeless. But there was some fight left in her yet.
Squaring her shoulders, she made a decision. She might not be able to change the past, but she didn’t have to let it dictate her future either.
It was time she pulled on her positive pants!
And her first order of business would be moving out of home. Again. But to do that, she needed money, and to get money, she needed a job. Preferably two.
“I haven’t lived at home since I graduated from high school. And the only reason I’ve been staying there is because we gave up the lease on the cottage over by the golf course because we were supposed to be moving to Melbourne. Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is to be living with your parents at the age of thirty-two?”
Rafe stared at her and blinked, a bemused expression blanketing his face, and she realised what she’d just said. Abby, Oliver and Rafe, at the ages of thirty-two, thirty-five and thirty-seven respectively, all still lived in their father’s house.
“Not that it’s a problem for some people,” she said, desperately trying to backtrack. “For you guys it’s more of a tradition than it is a chore, and Ulysses is awesome. Who wouldn’t want to live at home if their dad was a famous artist? And—”
“Jane.”
“Shutting up,” she said, her cheeks heating with embarrassment.
Sitting up again, Rafe shook his head, a lopsided grin lifting his lips. “You don’t ever need to censor yourself around me. You know that. I’d simply forgotten how cute you are when you ramble on like a crazy person,” he said, then slid his hand around her nape and pulled her closer, narrowing her field of vision and forcing her to focus. His hand was warm, his voice deep, hypnotic.
“I meant you could move in here. It’s not like we don’t have the room—even with so many of us mooching off our father,” he added, his amusement shining in his eyes. “And you’ll be surrounded by people who care for you and can help out with the baby. Not to mention all the other benefits,” he said, his gaze dropping to her mouth, his hand tightening on her nape.
Eyes narrowing, Jane tightened her lips into a thin line. “And what other benefits would those be?”
He pulled her closer, making it plain he intended to kiss her.
Placing her small hand in the centre of his solid chest, she pushed him back, knowing full well he let her do it. She’d never have the strength to push him away if he didn’t allow her to.
“I thought you said if I wanted more than your tongue in my pussy, I had to earn it.”
“I changed my mind,” he said, trying again to cement his lips to hers.
Her heart rate increased, her eyes widened and her pussy clenched in anticipation. “We can have sex?” she blurted.
“No,” he said sternly, and her bubble of hope deflated faster than a burst soufflé. “No sex. I just thought we could fool around like we used to.Beforewe started having sex. You remember what we used to get up to, don’t you, beautiful?”
Oh he just thought, did he?
And of course she remembered. Rafael Bennett may not have been her first kiss, but he sure as hell spent a lot of time helping her perfect her technique. She’d never known a man who loved kissing half as much as Rafe did.
Maybe it’s time I put that knowledge to good use.
Tightening his grip on her neck again, Rafe pulled her close, tilted his head, but before their lips could touch, Jane slid her hand between them and pressed her fingers against Rafe’s mouth. “I don’t think so.”
“I beg your pardon?” he said, the surprised tone in his voice matching the look on his handsome face.
Displaying her haughtiest of expressions, Jane continued, “I’ll allow you to eat my pussy every night—”
“Oh, you’llallowme, huh?” His surprise gave way to a wickedly decadent smile.
