“No, he didn’t. He pretty much gave me his blessing. And told me to take care of you.”
“I don’t need you to take care of me,” she said, still pushing the chicken around in the container.
“I know that. He knows that too. But still.”
“Still?”
“Teagan, he cares about you. He’s not going to give me free rein to take advantage of you, come on. He said normal dad things.”
“Okay,” she said, setting the chicken back down and leaning back on her hands. When she did that, her leg sort of came forward, toes of her shoe brushing against Jaxon’s shin.
“You finished with that?” he asked, nudging the chicken container towards her.
“Yeah, take it.”
He did, but then spied something else he wanted more. The last egg roll. He might have gotten it if Teagan hadn’t spotted it at the same exact time and reached for it. She grabbed it first, but that didn’t stop him from trying to take it from her.
“Nuh-uh, you have the chicken,” she giggled, holding the egg roll back behind her and out of his reach.
“Egg rolls are better and you bloody well know it,” Jaxon argued, reaching for it in vain because she was leaning back and in order to reach, he’d have to crawl on top of her. So instead, he bumped her elbow, and she dropped it.
Diving for it, he emerged victoriously, but then she had to pout. She just had to push out her bottom lip, and he found himself handing it over. “Here,”jy6 he said, shaking it in her direction. “Take it.”
She grinned and grabbed it from him, stopping before taking a bite and breaking it in half. Cabbage spilled out, it wasn’t a clean break in the slightest. She held both halves out in her palms and he reached for one.
“You fucked it up,” he teased. “There’s cabbage everywhere.”
She giggled, and he leaned forward before he could think about it, his lips brushing softly over hers and breaking off with a soft pop.
He gulped, his eyes wide as they both froze, a hairsbreadth between them.
Fuck. He hadn’t thought about it. He got caught up in the fantasy again. Shit shit shit.
They were both quiet, but she spoke first. “Didn’t stop you from taking the bigger half.”
Her gaze searched his and her meaning was clear. She was giving him an out. They could just move past this without talking about it again.
But he didn’t want that, dammit. He just wanted to see… maybe this wasn’t so one-sided.
He tossed the egg roll to the side and leaned forward, his hands cupping her cheeks as he pulled her closer, lips meeting hers much more aggressively this time.
She grunted into his mouth, her palms sliding his chest, he inhaled and rose up on his knees and she came too. His lips plucked at hers, he felt her teeth on his bottom lip, but he didn’t stop. Didn’t slow down, just groaned into her mouth.
He felt her smile as she tugged him closer until they were pressed flush together on their knees, her tongue sliding into his mouth and making him shake as blood rushed south.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, why was he doing this?
“Teagan…” he murmured, breaking off the kiss in a fit of heavy breathing. He nuzzled her nose with his. “Teags… I…”
“Jaxon.”
The way she said his name made him melt. She was lying back on the bare floor. Yanking at the neckline of his t-shirt so he’d go with her. His arms bracketed her body, one up by her head, the other down near her shoulder as he balanced on top of her. He was careful not to put too much weight on her, even as he felt her leg wind around his waist and pull him down.Closer.
Fuck…
Those legs featured in plenty of his early morning shower fantasies and he couldn’t help but let her pull him fully against her. The way she rocked up against him made him think she absolutely could feel how hard he was now. How stiff and… God,aching.
“Teagan…” he murmured, his lips breaking away from hers to kiss along her jaw. One of her hands tangled in his hair and tugged. He was in heaven. Her scent was so much stronger here at her throat, and every time he brushed his lips against her skin, he felt her shiver. Felt her skin pebble. Felt how she attempted to pull him closer, even though he couldn’t get much closer without taking something off.
