“We’ll finish it another time.”
“Stay,” I blurted out.
He peered at me with bright blue eyes and ran a hand across his jaw. The rasp of his fingers against his stubble made my insides quiver.
“Stay,” I repeated. “The night.”
“If I stay that means I’ll be here when you wake up,” he warned.
“I know.”
“It means I’m gonna see you in your pajamas.”
I smiled slightly. “I’m already in my jammies.”
“It means I’m gonna know if you snore.”
“I don’t snore!”
“Hmm. We’ll see.”
I got up off the couch and locked up the house and set the alarm. Bones followed me up the stairs. I didn’t even consider offering him a guest bedroom.
My heart kicked into high gear when I pushed open my bedroom door and flipped on the light. The room was decorated in grays and greens. It was expansive, with a custom-built walk-in closet and a master bath that had a luxurious hotel feel.
“Nice,” Bones said as he looked around.
“You want the bathroom first or?—”
“Hey,” he said.
I paused. “Hey.”
“Nothing’s gonna happen.”
“Nothing’s gonna happen?” I repeated with a frown. “What do you mean?”
“I mean we’re brushing our teeth and getting into bed. And if you let me spoon you, I’ll spoon you. That’s it.”
“I’m even more confused.”
“You thought by asking me to stay, we were gonna fuck.”
“No. I mean, yes. Maybe? I don’t know, I just assumed that you’d want to?—”
“I do want to. Fuck yeah, I want to.” He took a step closer to me and gently cradled the back of my neck in his hand. “But until you’re jumping into my arms, wrapping your legs around my waist and trying to climb me like a tree, then all we’re doing is spooning.”
I exhaled a shaky breath and nodded.
He leaned down and gently kissed my lips. “You use the bathroom first, yeah?”
“Okay.”
I went into the bathroom and closed the door. I was behaving like a shy virgin, spooked every time she was touched. I wasn’t a virgin, but I wasn’t that experienced either.
And Bones…
He kissed like a man who had experience.
