They were supposed to be. Who the fuck knew what the self-proclaimed genius was up to? “This morning it was the same—impertinent—female voice.” He moved into the living room, but Abigail busied herself in the kitchen, rinsing the mugs.
“Leave them. I‘ll clean the kitchen later.”
“You bought lunch and made coffee. Fair is fair.”
“Everything doesn’t have to be quid pro quo.”
She shrugged. “Isn’t that what friendship is about? Working together?”
“Friendship?” The word crawled up his spine.“Friendship? You think that’s what this is?” He wasn’t sure what the confounding fuck it was, but friendship sure as hell wasn’t it.
“No offense meant.”
His burst of temper didn’t seem to ruffle her. Standing her ground in the middle of his kitchen, she regarded him quizzically. He admired the hell out of that, and her evenness shaved the edges off his anger. “I like to take care of you, Abigail. And I damn well will. Be clear about one thing, I don’t expect anything in return. Any questions?”
“Hayes…” Her eyes were filled with compassion. “I accept you as you are, and I appreciate you. But I am who I am as well. Nurturer.”
A woman who wanted a family of her own.
He exhaled. Her statement was fair. By way of apology, he tried again. “Is there anything you need to be comfortable?”
“Yes.” She loaded the dishwasher, then dried her hands. “For you to kiss me.”
“I could do that all night long. And I may. Come here.” When she did, he pulled her against him and held her tight, one hand in her hair, the other on the curvy ass he’d so thoroughly spanked.
This time there was searing familiarity between them. Her response was immediate and warm, and she melted against him without needing to be coaxed.
Reluctantly he released her, but only long enough to sweep off her sweatshirt so he could suck on her nipples.
“Hayes…”
“Don’t forget who I am. My rules still apply. You’ll need my permission before coming.” This time, though, he wouldn’t withhold it. He wanted to own her.
“I need to touch you.”
“Do.”
Her hands shook adorably as she unfastened his buttons, and he ended up removing his shirt while she ran her hands over his chest, exploring the angles of his body.
Then she surprised him by dropping to her knees and unbuckling his belt and lowering his zipper.
A proper submissive might ask for permission, but she didn’t, and he encouraged her unbridled passion.
When she released the button at his waist, his trousers fell, and she reached inside his boxer briefs to wrap her hand around his length.
“My God, Sir. You’re huge.” She stroked him, exerting the perfect amount of pressure.
Fuck. At this point, he was the one in danger of coming too quickly.
Hayes swept her hands aside to finish undressing and pulled out his wallet, searching for an all-but forgotten condom. Then, realizing he had no idea how long it had been in there, he checked the expiration date.
“Is it still good? Tell me it’s still good.”
“It’s got a few months left.” Right now he didn’t want to head for the drug store. He tossed it to her. “Put it on me, submissive.”
“My pleasure.” But before she did, she lowered her head to lick precum from his slit.
He captured her head between his palms.
