Bloody hell.

Raising his eyes to mine, Roy swept it tantalisingly slowly over his mouth, the hint of a wicked smirk pulling at his lip.

Is this foreplay?I wanted to ask him.

“I moved out.”

“You…what?” I’d been too busy staring at his mouth to understand what he’d said.

“A little over two weeks ago. I moved out of her flat.”

“I’m so proud of you.” My voice came out choked.Shit, I’m making him uncomfortable, aren't I?Leaning back slightly to get a bit of distance between him and me, I took in his rumpled outfit. “Is that why you avoided me? Have you been sleeping in your office, Roy?”

He worried his bottom lip with a long white fang, looking every bit the apex predator he was. “Yeah.”

“My offer still stands, I—”

“Yeah,” he repeated, covering my hand with his. “Can I see it? The room?”

His thick, furry thumb swept back and forth over my knuckles, distracting me from answering.

“Let’s go now,” he said, getting up so abruptly that I flinched, then I was pulled to my feet. I watched him throwa wad of cash on the table, tipping Caroline about three hundred percent, and grabbed my bag and blazer before he led me outside.

The sky had clouded over while we’d been eating, turning the bright midday into a murky, dark early afternoon with one hundred percent probability of rain.

“Can you drive? I walked here from the office.” Roy’s urgent whisper was followed by him pulling me close, bringing the lengths of our bodies together and knocking the breath out of me.

Damn it. I should stop this.

We were a moment away from rubbing up against each other in the middle of the street. I knew what was going to happen when we got to my place.

“Yeah, come on.”

Squeezing his huge body into my car was a tight fit, but thankfully he wouldn’t have to endure it for long. Hosier’s wasn’t far from my flat.

Like a massive shadow, Roy followed me upstairs. He bent to remove his fancy, bright white sneakers, unzipped his jacket and hung it on my coat rack, then waited for me to lead the way to his future bedroom. I would never tell him that it had been my office, and that I’d moved my desk to my room. The bed and dresser were new, purchased especiallyfor him at the local branch of Nøkken, a hip Norwegian furniture shop.

“This is—” Was all I could say before he dragged me up against his massive chest.

“I’ll take it.” With a needy moan, he pressed his lips on mine.

Wrenching his ball cap off his head, I grabbed fistfuls of his plushy fur to anchor myself to him.

Chapter Fourteen

Roy

Desperate as I might have been, I didn’t conquer her mouth like when we’d first kissed. She wanted it; the scent of her arousal was heady in the room with us. But I didn’t want to take—I wanted so badly to give.

Carefully resting her back against the wall, I took my sweet time with her, tiny nips, and teasing licks to get her to open for me.

“Roy.”

Kat sighing my name made me even harder and I moved my hips between her thighs, causing her skirt to travel up her legs.

Leaving her mouth, I ran my nose down over her chin, and began to trail kisses along her collarbone. Leaning her head back to give me more space, Kat crossed her ankles behind my ass, trying to pull me closer. I let her, bucking my hips to rub my hard dick over her core.
