Page 83 of When We Burn

She smirks at me and toes off her shoes, then whips her shirt over her head, and my mouth goes fucking dry. Her tits are practically spilling out of her bra, and I want to get my hands on them.

“If you want treats, you have to join the book club.” She unbuttons her jeans, and I have to turn away and focus on starting the shower, or else I’ll boost her up against the wall and fuck her hard and fast, and that’s not my plan for tonight. “And you have to read the books.”

With the water on, I grab her a towel and place it on the warmer, and when I turn back to her, she’s standing before me completely naked, and my cock is begging me to change plans for tonight.

Sorry, buddy.

“You’re a walking wet dream, kitten.”

She licks her lips and moves to fold her arms over her breasts, but I step forward and stop her, holding one wrist in one hand and using the backs of my fingers of the other to brush over onenipple.

“So fucking beautiful.”

She sucks in a breath, and I let her go.

“Into the shower. Do you want red or white wine?”

“Neither,” she says, watching me. “But some water would be good.”

I nod and move to walk around her, but she catches my hand, and I stop, lifting a brow as I look down into her cobalt eyes.

“Thanks.” Her lips tip up into a smile, and I know she knows the effect she’s having on me.

My sweats are tented, for Christ’s sake.

“You’re welcome.” After pressing a kiss to her forehead, I leave the bathroom and walk to the kitchen to get her a glass of water. After a brief check on Birdie to make sure she’s still asleep, I return to my bedroom and set the water on the nightstand.

I showered after I put Birdie down, so I close and lock my door, and then undress and climb into bed, sitting against the headboard with the blankets over my lap as I check my social media and emails.

Before long, the water cuts off, and then soon after, my girl appears.

Still dewy from the shower, she turns off the light as she leaves the bathroom. The lamp next to me is the only light illuminating the bedroom as she walks, still nude, around the bed and climbs in on the other side, but she doesn’t lie down or even sit next to me.

She takes the phone from my hands, sets it on the nightstand, and then, with that mischievous smile on hergorgeous face, Dani pulls the covers back and straddles me.

“Hi,” she says, wrapping her arms around my neck. My dick’s already rock-hard and ready for her. “This is the first time we’ve spent the night together since that first weekend.”

“Too fucking long.”

She leans in, but she doesn’t kiss me. She presses her cheek to mine so sweetly that it makes my chest hurt.This.This is what I’ve missed. What I’ve needed every damn night. This beautiful girl in my arms.

My hands immediately rub up and down her back. I can’t stop touching this woman. I can’t get enough of her.

“I’m so glad you’re here,” I whisper into her ear as my hands glide down to cup the globes of her ass. “We have to be quiet tonight. Can you do that, sweetheart?”

“I can try.”

I smile and kiss her neck and then shift us so that she’s on her back and I’m looming over her.

“You have to do better than try.” Lazily, I drag my lips down her neck to her collarbone. “Because I don’t want any interruptions for a long while. I’m going to worship every fucking inch of you.”

She sighs, her hands dive into my hair, and I pull a nipple between my lips, licking and nibbling on her. “Such an excellent mouth.”

I smile against her smooth skin and then work my way farther south. I haven’t had my mouth on her sweet pussy in weeks, and I’m about to rectify that right now.She breaks out in goose bumps as I kiss down her stomach, my hand ahead of the game, already brushing through her wetness.

“Fuck, baby, you’re so ready for me.”

“Always.” She sucks in a deep breath when I push one finger inside of her, arching into my touch. “Please, Bridger.”
