“I don’t have the willpower to leave you in here on your own, baby. I’ve been waiting too long to have you in my bed again.”
Over her shoulder, she flips her chestnut hair, looking back at me with heated eyes. Her tight ass lifts right in the direction of my cock.
This is going to kill me.
“And what are you going to do now that I’m back in it?” she flirts breathily.
Releasing her ankles, I smooth my palms up her ass, watching as she gently presses her body into my touch. My chest tightens, loving the way she’s finally allowing herself to surrender to me.
Not stopping at the areas I want to mark as my own, I continue until my hands get a sturdy grip on her hair. Grabbing at the base, I pull her from her stomach, hovering my body so I’m just inches from her ear.
“Trust me, Sofia baby, you’ll know and feel very soon everything I plan to do to you in this house. I don’t plan on leaving any surface untouched or any part of you unfucked, but right now, we’re going to get you unpacked and go for dinner. If you listen well while we’re there, I might reward you with a taste later tonight, but you’re going to have to beg for it. Are you willing to do that?”
Tightening my grip in her hair, I feel the small shake of her head and can’t help but smile at her defiance. If I let my hand travel below the waistband of her pants, I know exactly how I’d find her.
“I don’t beg,” she snips, putting in no effort to release herself from my hold.
“You will soon enough.”
“Why didn’t you tell me where we were going earlier? This is the best thing that’s happened to me all day.”
Fia’s excitement vibrates the entire cabin of my car.
When Duke asked if I wanted to come over tonight for dinner, I knew it would make Fia happy. I didn’t think twice about what our arrangement would look like to them, or what she has or hasn’t told her friends. Me bringing a woman around is new, but fuck it, I’d burn the world down to see her smile.
“Because I’m a selfish man,” I answer simply.
“Oh god, I’m living with you, for Christ’s sake. Get over yourself.”
Slapping me on the shoulder, I shiver, loving how playful she’s become since we got back home.
“Say that again. It made my fucking heart skip.”
“You’re ridiculous. I can’t believe Sienna didn’t tell me when we talked earlier.” She laughs, and when I place my hand on her thigh, she makes no attempt to move.
“Duke wanted it to be a surprise, but I clearly don’t do well with secrets. I like to tell my girl everything.”
Fia’s cheeks flush red, drawing my attention to the fullness of her bottom lip as she tugs it between her teeth.
“You like when I call you that?”
Facing forward so I don’t lose control of the car, I tighten my grip on her thigh, my other hand white knuckled on the steering wheel.
“You know it’s okay to say yes. You don’t always have to play so hard to get.”
“Fine, yes,” she huffs, and I fucking revel in it.
“Good, because I like it too.”
The plan was to come straight to Duke and Sienna’s once I picked her up, but the second she opened up to me in the studio, I wanted to prolong my time with her for as long as I could. And I couldn’t wait any longer to show her my home.
I’m a changed man, yes, but I’d never admitted to not being a selfish one.
Letting the tension do what it will, I force us to both sit in it the closer we get to Duke’s house.
A few months ago, I took a trip thinking it was going to be another way for me to break old habits. I had no idea I’d come face to face with my reason for releasing them.
Relationships would’ve been easy living the life I lived. Some friends I hung out with played the girlfriend game. I just couldn’t ever get myself to take the plunge. Bringing women home, having options, endless options, was enough.
