She sounded anxious while following me to the back of her car.
“I can always drive you back if you’re worried about it,” I offered, grabbing for the box.
She paused, watching me for a second before shaking her head. “No, I’m sure it’ll be fine.”
Closing her trunk and grabbing her large purse, she walked ahead of me and held the door, so I could carry the box inside.
She started rambling while slipping off her tall boots. “Sorry I’m late. I delivered to Mr. Jackson, a few miles down the mountain, but his gate wouldn’t open, and I couldn’t get service to call him. It was a bit of a mess.”
I smiled, watching her. “No worries, but you’re probably tired after waiting and having everything pushed back.”
Rae’s face turned a beautiful pink color as she moved over to the dogs, bending down to pat their heads. “No, I’m good. A little hungry, but that’s it.”
Relief swelled like one of those fucking congratulatory balloons that people get you on special occasions.
As she made her way into the kitchen and rounded the delivery box, she hesitated.
“Uh…but, about tonight—ifI were to stay, you know, for more than dinner, then…”
“Are you going to pretend you didn’t bring an overnight bag?” My shoulders shook, silently laughing at her.
There went that little pink flush that I loved seeing on her face so much. Somehow it brought out the blue in her eyes.
“I just wasn’t sure if you changed your mind, and if you did that’s okay. I just—”
Walking forward, I gripped her hip and pulled her flush to my chest.
“I didn’t change my mind.” Needing to convince her, I pressed my lips against hers and let myself relax into her. It wasn’t difficult, especially when her fingers came up, winding through my hair and pulling.
We kissed long enough to muss each other’s hair and get to second base with a few boob squeezes and ass grabs. Until finally I managed to pull away.
“What did you tell your parents?”
Giving me a small smile, she stepped back and straightened her clothes.
“Uh…they think I’m at Nora’s tonight.”
I nodded, even though I didn’t like that they didn’t know where she was. This wasn’t high school; she could come clean and tell them where she was. Shit, she wouldhaveto tell them something, or else they would worry.
I asked, “So they don’t know you came here at all?”
“No, I wasn’t sure how they’d respond to that.” With her hands tucked into her back pockets, and her face flushing pink, it took all my energy not to pull her back in for a kiss.
“Call your parents.” I pressed a quick peck to her nose. “So they don’t worry, and if there’s an emergency, they know how to get in touch with you.”
“I doubt anything is going—”
Applying a bit more pressure to her hip, I needed her to hear me. “Please, just…you never know. Okay?”
Searching my face, she gave me the slightest nod before tugging her phone free.
I moved, giving her some space, while she paced near the table, where she ran her thumb along the grain of the wood. “Hey Mom. Just letting you know I had a change in plans. I ended up having a late delivery night and decided to crash here with Davis.”
She paused, listening to her mom, and that rosy color deepened, invading her cheeks and neck.
“I know, I’m sorry. I just didn’t know how you’d react.” Another pause and then, “All right, well, thank you for being so cool about it.” She huffed a laugh, and it melted the hard place in my chest.
Her eyes bounced my way, followed by a sultry smile. “Okay, love you, bye.” She hung up and set the phone down on the table.
