“Bring a toothbrush tomorrow.” I hung up quickly, my heart pounding hard enough I felt it in my neck.
I waited to see if he’d call back.
He didn’t.
I backed out of the garage and went to buy a coffee maker.
Chapter 18
I straightened a salad fork just as the doorbell rang.
My heart leapt into my throat and excitement swirled in my belly.
I straightened my spine and went to answer the door.
The sight of Bones packed a punch to my stomach.
He seemed taller and broader every time I saw him.
He was devastating.
His blue eyes raked over me as a slight smile curved his lips. “Duchess.”
“Hi,” I greeted, stepping back to let him in.
He entered the foyer, standing close enough that his leather cut brushed my chest. Without a word, he grasped the back of my neck and lowered his mouth to mine.
My hands gripped his lapels and I sank into him.
His tongue slid between my lips and with his other hand, he clasped my hip and pulled me closer.
Sparks of desire erupted between my legs and just as I was in danger of collapsing and saying to hell with dinner, Bones released me.
My eyes fluttered open and Bones was staring down at me.
“You hungry?” I asked.
“Starving,” he rumbled.
Yeah, we both know he isn’t talking about food.
I licked my lips. “Shoes off, please.”
The heat of his desire banked into embers. It would take very little to stoke it into flames once again.
Bones sat on the stairs as he removed his boots.
“You can take off your cut, too,” I said. “Get more comfortable. If you want.”
He rose and without taking his eyes off me, slowly removed his leather cut. Now that his lips weren’t on mine, I noticed what he was wearing. A black button-down shirt, and a pair of jeans that weren’t faded or molded to his body from years of being worn.
“You look nice.” I took his leather cut and walked to the coat closet and hung it up.
“You don’t like it.”
“Like what?” I asked.
“How I’m dressed.”
