He drags his fingertips along my lower back, sending chills over my skin. It feels so good, and I grip his shirt to help him tug it over his head. Once his warm skin is pressed against mine, I feel home.
“I love you so much,” I say. “I didn’t even think people like you existed. I’m so glad I found you and I can’t believe you’re mine.”
His hold tightens, and I press my lips against his throat. Up his neck. Over his jaw until they’re back where they belong, joined with his.
He threads his fingers into my hair as he guides me back on the bed. His hips press deep and low, tempting me with a hard promise I want so badly.
“Did you ever get your condoms back from Jarvis?” I ask, shoving my palms over his backside to force the friction where I need it. Except it’s not where I need it. Not even close.
“Yeah, because he was so excited about the prospect of me having sex with you,” he says dryly.
“I thought you bought them for Sage and Coriander.”
He lifts up to give me a look, and I bite back a grin. “Fine. Then I guess we’re living dangerously.”
His eyes go wide. “What?”
“I’m having sex with you tonight, so it’s up to you how. Do you want me to see if Rory will stop?”
“Rory?”
“The man driving the bus.”
I make a move to crawl out from under him. “Rory! We need to stop and make a condom?—”
Val clamps his hand over my mouth, and I burst into giggles. The look on his face is now up there among my favorites.
“Larinda, come on. You’re not serious.”
“I am. Was your last test negative?”
He glances at the closed door like there might be condom police waiting to intervene. In his defense, he’s been harassed enough on this tour to warrant concern.
“I mean, I haven’t been tested in a while, but I also never really had unprotected sex. I haven’t had any sex in over a year. Not since…”
He quiets with a cringe.
My heart beats a little faster. “Not since what?”
“Since I fell in love with you.”
I’m speechless as his confession sinks in. “You’ve been in love with me for over a year?”
The corner of his mouth tips up in a smirk. “Keeping a secret.”
“Huh?”
“Another thing I’m good at.”
With a quick laugh, I pull him in for a kiss. “Well, I too have not had sex in over a year.”
His brows pinch in surprise. “Really? Not even with Jarvis?”
I scrunch my nose. “Um… So about that… Can you keep a secret?”
“I just told you I can.”
“Right, yeah.” I bite my lip and peek up through a squint. “Jarvis and I never had sex.”
