“Yeah, Dee. I wanna hear you. I want to hear you scream my name down my throat as I make you come all over my hand.”
“Yes. Jesus. God. So good.”
“Not god. Just a man who loves the feel of you and wants to feel more. Give it to me, Dee. Take yourself there.” I push two fingers inside her and flick her clit with the tip of my thumbnail, and she’s crying out, her body convulsing with wave after wave of her climax.
“Rhodes. Honey. Yes!”
And my chest swells, my heart racing as she comes apart at the seams under my hands.
I slowly ease her back down, gliding my hand out of her pants and locking eyes with her as I bring my fingers to my mouth and groan deeply as her taste overwhelms my senses. “Best fucking after-lunch-snack I’ve ever had,” I murmur before I lose myself against her and kiss her soft and slow and sweet, her hands lazily rubbing over my shoulders and back.
“Now that is an afternoon delight,” she says when we pull apart, both trying to catch our breath.
“Sign me the fuck up,” I mutter, touching my lips to her neck.
There’s a noise at the front door, and we both go completely still. At the sound of a key sliding into the lock. My eyes nearly pop out of my head as I realize we’re about to be sprung and Dee’s half-naked body is still pressed to mine.
“Fuck.” I scramble off the couch as Dee does the same. I quickly snatch her T-shirt from the floor as she rights her jeans and bra, and together we manage to get her tee over her head. We both quickly sit and try to act casual while I think about anything and everything completely unsexy to get my angry hard-on to calm the fuck down.
Jake walks into the living room and stops in his tracks when he sees us sitting on opposite ends of the couch, looking as guilty as hell.
“Well, well, well. What do we have here, kids?”
I narrow my gaze, staring daggers at the shit-eating grin he shoots me before he laughs under his breath and shakes his head. “What have I told you about having girls over, Dad?” he says, enjoying this far too fucking much.
I roll my eyes. “Yeah. What have you said, Jake?”
He points to us. “Ah ha! Sprung. Kids these days. And what about you, young lady? Do your parents know where you are?”
“Jake . . .” I warn half-heartedly, struggling not to burst out laughing with the taste of her still lingering on my tongue. Just my luck Dee and I get interrupted the first time we get it on. I was enjoying the hell out of her too.
“Hi, Jake. It’s nice to see you again,” Dee doesn’t even try to hide the humor in her voice.
“You too, Dee. Probably didn’t expect it to be like this though. But what’s a guy to do, right? I come home early from school, looking to take a load off and relax, and I walk into this,” he says with an over-dramatic sigh.
I raise a brow. “What are you doing home so soon?”
“No driver’s ed training today, remember, Dad? Maybe you had other things on your mind?” he says, waggling his brows.
“Yeah, yeah.” I rub the back of my neck. Have kids they said. It’ll be fun they said.
“Right. Well, I’ll leave you two lovebirds alone. But see you Saturday, Dee. I’ve decided Harvey and I are gonna team up and kick your asses at mini golf.”
Dee’s eyes soften. “Looking forward to it.”
“And thanks for the doggy bag. That risotto was the shit.” And with that poetic compliment, he’s walking out of the room, waving his hand over his head.
I shoot a cautious look Dee’s way, only to find her grinning from ear to ear, her lips twitching. I lift my arm as she struggles and fails to hold in her laughter. It’s when she snuggles into my side and dissolves into a fit of giggles that I press my lips to her hair and chuckle against her temple. “Told you we need guaranteed uninterrupted time.”
She lifts her head and tilts her face toward mine. “Let’s organize that as soon as we can. Although . . . sneaking around like teenagers could also be fun.”
“Jesus. You might just be the death of me,” I mutter, touching my lips to hers. She smiles and kisses me softly. “But what a way to go.”
Chapter 12
Dee
Rhodes and I had agreed that the best course of action would be to play Saturday really low key. It’s a chance for Harvey to see Jake again—something he’d been asking me about a lot—and also a casual introduction to the whole ‘Mommy has a boyfriend’ concept.
I may be taking this really slowly with my son, but I really like where things with Rhodes and I are going in a way that I don’t see it being a short-term thing, which means Rhodes and Jake could become regular features in our lives. I wanted to make sure Harvey had absolutely no reservations.
So, when Flynn and I sat down with him to discuss the ‘day date with the kids’ idea, Harvey’s reaction made my eyes sting. “I always wanted a big brother. Billy Nelson doesn’t have a big brother. He’s only got a sister, and she never lets him do anything with her. I bet Jake would let me do stuff with him.”
I ruffled his hair while Flynn just grinned at him then looked over at me and winked.
“Is it time to go yet?” Harvey asks me for what seems like the tenth time this morning.
I make a point of slowly looking at my watch and humming and hawing while he bounces excitedly in front of me. “Moooom . . .” he groans.
Laughing, looking him up
