Cotton, like the inside of my mouth right now.
He looks up at me and smiles. It’s a half smile, laced with mischief. “Nice rock.”
I will disintegrate into a pile of dust right here in the kitchen if I don’t get a drink immediately. I tug my hand free from his firm grip and turn around, momentarily abandoning the remnants of dinner prep to grab a bottle of water. “Anyone else want a drink?”
“You know I’m always thirsty,” Jonathan says lazily.
My cheeks heat. I grab two bottles of water.
I feel his gaze on me the whole time and it’s mildly irksome.
“Thank you,” he says condescendingly as I pass him a bottle.
The kitchen feels too small sometimes when he’s in it. This is one of those times.
He’s in my space now because he came over to look at the ring. I don’t want to walk over and stand right by him, but I need to clean up and he’s in my way.
He can sense my reluctance to stand close to him. A decent person might move to spare me the discomfort, but he leans against the counter and crosses his arms, waiting to see what I’ll do.
God, he’s such a jerk.
I sigh and roll my eyes at him, then walk over and hip bump him out of my way. “Move, you brat.”
His smirk transforms into a grin. “I’m older than you, stray. You can marry my dad and live your best trophy wife life all you want, but you’re never gonna be my stepmom.”
“That’s what you think,” I say saucily, grabbing the knife and cutting board off the counter and moving them to the sink. “Until I ground you.”
“You can try,” he says smoothly, looking over at me and letting his eyes travel down my body. “We’ll see who ends up grounded.”
I feel my face warming, but before I have to respond, Milo cuts in. “Why don’t you go get your brother and tell him it’s time to come downstairs for the night.”
Jonathan’s gaze flickers over his shoulder to look back at his father. He doesn’t appear to appreciate being shooed, but he turns and heads for the stairs, anyway.
“Good call,” I say, nodding now that Jonathan is out of earshot. “Get rid of the troublemaker.”
Milo smirks, moving off his seat and walking over to me. I’m still in the process of cleaning up the mess I made preparing dinner, but when he catches me around the waist and pulls me against him, I leave it and wrap my arms around him instead.
“I’ll finish cleaning up,” he tells me. “Why don’t you go upstairs, too. Change out of those clothes and into something you can relax in for the rest of the night.”
“Mm,” I murmur as he leans down to steal a kiss. “Any requests?”
“Something sexy. No panties.”
Awareness tingles down my spine and dances over my nerve endings. “But we won’t be alone. The boys will be down here.”
“So wear a robe over it,” he says simply, letting his hand slide down to the small of my back, then lower to grab my ass before his fingers push between my thighs. Even with the stiff denim between us, heat gathers low in my belly. “I just want to know this pretty pussy is bare and within reach,” he rumbles, stealing another kiss on the lips.
I sigh against his mouth, then nip gently at his lips. “Why are you so sexy?”
He chuckles, gently tugging me away so he can finish cleaning up. When I turn to go, he smacks me on the ass.
I toss a flirty look at him over my shoulder, and I’m still a bit flushed when I start up the stairs.
So I’m still a bit flushed when I encounter Jonathan in the hallway outside Jet’s room. He’s on his way back down, but he stops when he sees me coming up.
“Miss me?”
I roll my eyes. “Yes. I couldn’t bear to be away from you for 65 seconds.”
