Page 42 of Love Over Time

Henry was over me, smirking. “You thought I would just leave the room and not wait to see what you’d do?”

“You were spying on me?” I hit his chest. Damn, it was hard. I scooted down, but he pinned me with his body.

“No. But I saw you come out of the bedroom twenty minutes later, looking very guilty. Downstairs, when you took the condom out of your purse, I saw the medicine bottle with Mom’s name on it. What’s in it?”

“I don’t know. I didn’t have time to look.”

“Okay.” He kissed me again.

I pushed him away. “That’s it?”

“Hmm.” He nuzzled my neck. “I was just curious. Tomorrow.” He nibbled behind my ear. “We’ll talk tomorrow. For now, I only want you.”

Chapter Sixteen

The Box with Two Keys

Henry

Sitting on her heels on the bed, Nikki ran a finger across her lips. The tip of her tongue lingered over her teeth, her hot blue gaze piercing through my heart. My cock reacted, and I adjusted the sheets over my waist. “I fold.”

“What? No.” She sounded like a five-year-old who just dropped her ice cream. “I didn’t do anything this time. I didn’t even look at my cards.”

“It’s all over your face, your eyes. You’re practically about to pee your pants you’re so excited. What do you have? A pair?” I reached for her cards and threw them on the pile. “Three of a kind? Again?”

“I’m really good at this game.” She flashed me a smile.

“You really aren’t.”

“What did I do wrong? I chose an emotion, like you said.” She grabbed the cards and shuffled them. Man, she picked up on that part quick. Nikki truly had a knack for all things illicit.

I chuckled. “Sex is not an emotion. You can’t use your Nikki Swift act to win at poker.”

“Well, now I’m out of chips. Give me some of yours.” She reached over. I caught her wrist, and she pouted. “You’re hoarding your chips. No matter what I do, you won’t give them up. Give it.” Her nipples pushed through the thin fabric of her pajama top.

“Five chips for your top.”

She laughed, followed by a honeyed and sexy moan. “How about five chips for the underwear you ruined last night?” Yanking her arm, she broke loose from my grip and grabbed a handful of chips from my pile.

“I guess I was wrong. Youcanuse your Nikki Swift act to win at poker. You stole all my winnings.”

She winked. “What did you think would happen if you got in bed with a thief?”

I lay back on the pillow and exhaled. “Lucky for me, there isn’t much you can steal from me.”

Her face changed. “I would never steal from you.”

I raised an eyebrow at that. “Oh yeah?”

“Well, you know, other than the one time I already stole from you.”

I chuckled. Nikki was here. I had to stop questioning why. A blush rose to her cheeks as her gaze roamed from my lips down to my cock and up again. My blood pumped hot when she looked at me like that. With a sigh, she pushed the chips and cards out of the way and pulled the sheet off me. Heat blasted from my navel up into my chest.

“There’s only one thing I want to steal from you.”

“You’ve already stolen my heart. What’s left?” My hand went up to her breast. I kneaded the firm mound, tugging at her nipple. The dark red circle made my mouth water.

“I want all of you.” She straddled my legs.
