“Doubtful. I’ve never done this before, have you?”
The thought of him joining in with another woman sent a wave of discomfort through me.Unfairly.
“Never been much for games. This is a first, but I can’t say I’m disappointed in how my first game night is turning out.” He tightened his arm around my waist and I felt his fingers possessively dig into my side.
“How about you focus on that snowman? Time’s running out.”
He chuckled and nodded. “Yes, ma’am. I’ll follow your lead. Use me however you want.”
I groaned at the outright flirtatiousness of his statement and reached for the larger of the three Styrofoam balls so it could be the base. “Here, hold this, while I put the glue on top.”
“You want me to hold these balls?” I stilled and his arm tightened more before he said lowly next to my ear, “I’d rather you hold mine instead but I’ll play nice.For now.”
Josh, who was to our left, laughed lightly and Melvina spoke while her eyes remained on the table. “I heard that, even if I didn’t want to.”
“We all heard that,” Nolan offered with a hint of amusement in his voice.
“Then maybe focus on what you’re building and not what I’m over here saying,” Wilde stated in an easy tone.
“Or you could focus on what we’re supposed to be building and not make comments like that,” I mumbled, feeling my cheeks flame from all the attention.
“You don’t like my comments, Boston? I feel like you do, just maybe not in front of an audience, but we’ll discuss that after we get back to the ranch. How’s that sound?”
“Sounds great, now build your damn snowman, Wilde,” Melvina mumbled from across the table. I felt the vibration of his laugh and smiled without meeting anyone’s eyes. We survived the rest of the activity but didn’t win the free weekend. The prize went to Josh and Nova who managed to work together skillfully enough to build something that resembled a snowman. I was distracted by Wilde’s flirty comments which he managed to whisper to me until the timer signaled the end of the competition.
Half an hour later we thanked Melvina for such a fun evening and left but I had a feeling our night was far from over.
ChapterNine
The sexual tension was wound so tightly between me and Shore that we avoided conversation and eye contact on the way back to the ranch. I could feel her thoughts, or hell, maybe they were just mine, but I was willing to bet a pretty penny she and I were thinking and feeling the same things.
If she wanted to cross that line, I wouldn’t deny her but I also wouldn’t push. I had a bad habit of seeing what I wanted to see and I refused to do that with Shore. When we walked in the house I decided to let the day end in a good space regardless of how painfully hard my dick was and had been for most of our evening.
“It’s been a long couple of days. I think I’m going to grab a shower then head to bed. I haven’t been getting much sleep.”
“Yeah, I’ve disrupted your life since being here.” She flashed a smile and I chuckled, stepping closer but not enough to touch her like I wanted to.
“That’s not necessarily a bad thing, so I’m not complaining, but I do need to be up early to take care of a few things that have been lagging.”
“Weneed to be up early. I thought we had a deal that you were going to use me however you wanted while I was here.”
My eyes narrowed and a slow smile tugged at my lips when I lowered my eyes to hers. “Yeah, we did. I guess you’re right then. We need to be up early.” I lifted my hand and tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear. “Good night, Boston. Get some rest and I’ll see you in the morning.”
My eyes lowered to her lips then her throat when she swallowed thickly. “Right, in the morning. Good night.”
I stepped away and was on my way to the back of the house, refusing to turn and look at her again because if I did, neither of us would be getting any rest or sleep tonight. I managed to shower without using my hands to release the tension I was feeling and climbed into bed. I stared at the ceiling knowing, regardless of the effort, there was no way in hell I would be getting any sleep anytime soon.
Not with the memories of those lips I wanted to taste again or the reminder of her wiggling on my lap while we pretending to care about making a snowman. She might have cared, but my mind was on the softness of her ass pressed against the hardness of my dick. My very angry dick because he had different plans for how the night would end.
And so did I…
“Fuck this,” I muttered and threw my covers back. I lifted from the bed, heading to the door with the intent of crossingthatline with Shore. Unless she flat out shut me down, I was going to keep my promise about revisiting that kiss and hopefully adding on a few other things she and I could explore. With a new determination to be the one placing the offer on the table, I opened my door and smiled realizing she and I were more in sync than I thought. Standing in the hallway, hand mid-air, eyes soft with surprise from the force of my yanking open my door, Shore stood there wearing nothing other than a very thin, short t-shirt and a seductive smile eased onto her pretty face.
“You need something, Boston?”
“No, butyouforget something?”
“Did I?”
