“I didn’t see it.”
“Fuck.” He rubs the back of his neck and I have noted that he does that when he is stressed.
A wave of guilt washes over me, because I am adding to his stress. He said that he has had a shitty day at work and that the owner of the robbed store got hurt.
“Have you eaten?”
Shaking his head, he brings his gaze back to mine.
“A candy bar and some chips.”
“Come on. We can share this.” I point to my takeout.
He kicks off his work boots, and cocks his weapon, then removes his belt, and my gaze lands on the gun and it makes me shiver.
“Do you have a secure safe here?” he asks, and I nod.
“There is a false bottom in the cupboard under the sink.” I give him the code and make a mental note to change it tomorrow.
I portion the food out between two bowls while he pulls his work shirt off, leaving him in the pants and a white under-shirt. Sitting next to me on the couch, I place a bowl in his lap and we dig in, not saying much.
He looks exhausted, but I need to know where we go from here. Feeling the way I have all day has settled on my soul. The feel of being abandoned after a hot sex session stays with a girl.
I find it hard to believe that neither of them could have texted me, to check on me, to make sure that I got home all right.
“I know that you have had a shitty day today, Cal, but I need to know.”
“Know what?” he asks once he has swallowed.
“You could have sent a text. Made sure that I got home okay, or to see what me and Mav got up to when you left. You know, a sexy text, but I got nothing. I felt worthless. It felt like you both got what you needed from me and I was not needed anymore.”
He places his now empty bowl down on the coffee table, turning to face me, causing his knee to brush against my thigh.
“You are wanted and needed by both of us. Yes, there were times when I could have texted you, but I honestly thought you would be spending at least the morning with Maverick. He texted me a few hours ago saying that he was on a hunt and it might take a while, but that was it. No other information. Maverick is not one to say much about their hunts to me.” He cups my jaw, and the contact has my skin tingling. “Last night was beyond fucking words, baby, and we both want to do it more. We want you.”
I nod because all words have gotten lost in my throat when he kisses me. The kiss is soft, and barely there but I feel him everywhere.
His hands snake around me, lifting my body up then settles me down on his thighs. I can feel how hard he is as his bulge presses against the apex of my thighs. He deepens the kiss as his hands slip under the material of my pajama shirt, and his touch on my bare skin has my body quaking.
My nipples tighten into hard peaks, my pussy becomes wet and needy for him. Images of Maverick flash through my mind so I pull back, as my stomach knots with anxiety.
“Maverick?” is all I say and he smiles, leaning in to peck my lips.
“We cleared this up last night, babe. No jealously; we all get to fuck whenever the mood strikes.”
His words settle the wave of anxiety.
“I need you, Cal,” I murmur against his lips.
“You’ve got me, baby.” He brings his hands to my front and slowly unbuttons my sleep shirt while keeping his heated gaze on me.
Licking my lips, I reach down to pull at the hem of his white t-shirt and I tug up. Lifting his arms, he lets me remove it from his body, dropping it onto the floor behind me. His body is fucking perfection, just like Maverick’s but in different ways.
Cal has sun-kissed skin, from working outdoors, his muscles are well sculpted and show that he takes care of his body, and he has one tattoo on his left bicep; a hawk with some lines framing it.
My gaze moves to his face, and I see him watching his fingers unbutton the last one, then he pushes the satin material open, revealing my breasts.
“Fuck, they’re beauties.” He cups each one as the material hangs at either side of my chest.
