He pinched my side lightly, making me squeak. “Brat. I’ll have you know it took weeks of overtime to put that together.” His tone took an imperious edge. I knew him well enough by now that he was putting on the affronted voice.

“I have no doubt,” I said with a mocking solemness, batting my eyelashes exaggeratingly. “That thing is the equivalent of anyone else’s life’s work. You should be very proud of it.”

“Somehow, I doubt you mean that as a compliment the same way I did when you mentioned your photos,” he replied dryly. “But seeing as I have something else to discuss with you before our food gets here, I’ll let your insubordination go for now.”

I grinned. Playful Aiden was fun to experience. “What else did you want to talk about?”

“This.” He moved his hand to my chin and tilted it up as he leaned down to kiss me—a light brush of his lips over mine.

“Mmm. I agree,” I whispered the words against his mouth.

“I thought you would.” He pressed his lips more fully into mine, deepening the kiss.

I shifted my body further toward him to be able to feel as much of his body against me as I could manage from this angle. Letting my hand move the rest of the way across his chest to his shoulder, I gripped the firm muscles under my hand tightly.

A nip at my lips had me opening my mouth, allowing his tongue to press forward and slide sinuously together with mine. The contact had a low sound rumbling from his throat. Aiden let go of my chin to bring his hand down to my other hip and used his strength to help me climb into his lap.

“Much better,” I whispered before resuming the kiss. I felt his arousal hard against my center. Wrapping my arms around his neck to keep my balance, I gave in to the urge to shift my body against him, pressing us together through the thin layers of our clothing. His hands moved down to my butt cheeks and grabbed a firm handful in each. I stopped mid-motion for a second, thinking he didn’t want me to move, but he squeezed my flesh in response. He pushed me into him, signaling my freedom to wiggle impatiently against him all I wanted.

Despite the movement of my lower half, he didn’t let up on his conquest of my mouth, randomly altering kisses from slow and smooth to hard and deep.

I loved that he didn’t rush to do anything else. He seemed happy to make out like teenagers—something I hadn’t gotten to do when I was actually a teen. His hands occasionally tightened on my cheeks forcefully before caressing them again.

Time ceased to exist for me at that moment. I had no idea how much time we spent exploring each other’s mouths and bodies over our clothes until a light knock on the door showed our dinner had arrived.

I pulled back in a daze. Aiden looked like he had come out of a similar trance.

“Uh, do you mind getting the door? I would, but… I need a minute.” His gaze dropped to where I was pressed against his hardness, which was absolutely indecent in those pants.

My eyes widened, and he laughed. “Yep. Of course.”

I climbed off his lap clumsily, feeling a bit light-headed from all the giddiness running through my system. Throwing on a sweatshirt, I went to answer the door.

My mind woke before my body would cooperate. Slowly, my senses came back to me, and I realized my face was nuzzled into something soft. A wonderful sense of déjà vu settled over me. Just like yesterday morning, I had woken to Abbie’s warmth next to me, my face pressed into her hair, and my hard cock was nestled against her ass.

I slowly leaned up and saw the clock read just after midnight. We must have fallen asleep after dinner while watching a movie. The TV’s home screen cast a glow over her room.

I didn’t want to wake her and break the spell of this moment. She was just mine in this tiny pocket of space and time. I wanted her badly, but it wasn’t even sexual. I felt a small shift in her body and looked down to see her eyes open.

“Hello. What time is it?” Her voice was scratchy with sleep.

“Hi. How are you feeling?” Even though I should, I wasn’t letting her go yet. I wanted to hold on to our little world a little longer. I wondered if I had woken her or vice versa.

A soft sigh was her reply as she pressed her face into my neck. I suppressed a groan. Didn’t she know how insane my body was for her?

She rocked herself back against my cock, so yes, she knew exactly what she was doing. I slid my hand around her front and rested it on her stomach to stop her movements.

“Maybe we should just get some sleep, hmm?” Clearly, we’d been wiped out if we were falling asleep before 9:00 p.m.

She resumed rubbing her ass against me in answer. My hard length pressed deeper into her backside through the flimsy barrier of our pajamas.

“I don’t want to sleep.” Abbie surprised me by rolling over and pressing the fronts of our bodies together.

Resting my head back on the pillow, I watched her.

“What do you want, then?” My voice rasped with desire.

“This.” She closed the distance between our mouths, and her tongue took a tiny taste of my lower lip.
