There was no adult bed in this room, just a toddler bed pushed against the wall.
I fought back a surge of panic, reminding myself that there were some nights when I slept in my own room instead of Judah’s. He never even knew if I was there or not.
And the next room shared a wall. I would probably hear him babble in his sleep.
We both tiptoed out of the room, and I closed the door quietly behind me.
“I’ll help you start bringing the stuff in,” I said.
“Not yet,” he said, reaching down for my hand, and pulling me with him toward the couch in the living room, where he sat, then reached for me, pulling me down so my legs were draped over his, and my head was against his chest.
His arms wrapped me up tight, then squeezed even harder.
“Never been that scared in my life,” he admitted.
“Me either,” I agreed, snuggling in because it felt too damn good not to, to deny myself the comfort a part of me was crying out for.
“How’s your jaw and cheek feeling?” he asked.
“Sore,” I admitted. “But tolerable. This hurts more,” I added, pulling away to pull down my lower lip to show him where my teeth had scraped it.
Aurelio’s hand moved out, gently tracing my lower lip.
And despite the stress, the fear, the uncertainty, the pain, and the exhaustion tugging at my eyelids, heat washed through me, desire starting to ping off each nerve ending.
“You hurt your lip,” Aurelio said, reading the need in my eyes.
“I don’t care,” I said, shifting to straddle him, my arms wrapping around his neck, and my lips lowering to his.
His lips were gentle on mine for a long time, until my own lips grew harder, hungrier.
His hands slid down my back, fingers sinking into my hips, then my ass, pulling me down so that my need pressed against his own.
A whimper escaped me as I rocked my hips against his hardness.
A rumbling sound moved through Aurelio, vibrating into my own chest as his fingers flexed on my ass, dragging me over him again.
I didn’t need encouragement after that, my own need overtaking me, leaving me writhing restlessly against him, getting only a hint of what I was really after.
Aurelio’s hands drifted upward, teasing under my shirt, over my heated skin.
Until I couldn’t take the need anymore, and slid backward to lift my arms up over my head, waiting for his fingers to snag the material of my shirt, and start to draw it upward.
The house had a bit of a chill to it, but I was pretty sure it was the need in his dark eyes that had the shiver coursing through me, that was making goosebumps spread across my skin as the shirt finally lifted off my hands, and was tossed casually to the side.
“Fuck,” Aurelio murmured under his breath as his gaze slid from my face to my chest, his eyes getting even more heavy-lidded even as his hands slid down my arms and over, covering me.
The touch sent a jolt of need from my chest down between my legs, making my hips rock against him again.
Aurelio leaned forward, his lips meeting the skin of my neck, making my belly flip-flop even as his hands shifted, his fingers finding my nipples, and rolling them between his thumbs and forefingers.
Heat bloomed through my chest and traveled downward, becoming an aching sensation in my core, as his fingers squeezed tighter.
“Aurelio…”
His name sighed out of me, a mix of pleasure and need.
“Please,” I added.
