He staredup at the ceiling, listening to Kira’s soft andrhythmic breathing and feeling a peace he hadn’t felt in a verylong time.

Chapter Sixteen

“Connor?”Kira shut the front door. “Everything stillokay?”

“Just fine. How’s Grace?”

She kicked off her shoes, set the bags of food in the kitchen onthe table, and walked into the living room. Connor was where she’dleft him two hours ago, on the sectional with his leg propped up onthe end section and the TV remote in one hand. He muted thetelevision as she sat next to him on the couch.

“Did you get Grace’s car towed?” he asked.

She nodded. “Yeah, Wade showed up just as I got there. He thinksit might be her starter, but he towed her car back to his shop andwill look at it in the morning. I dropped her off at home and willpick her up in the morning to give her a ride to work. She said shecould take the bus, but she’d have to leave at a ridiculous hour inthe morning and Gracie is not a morning person.”

He laughed. “Yeah,I’ve noticed.”

She smiled at him. “Grace said to say hi. She really likes workingfor you, Connor. Says you’re the best boss she’s everhad.”

“She’s a great employee,” he said. “Hiring her was one of mybetter decisions. Do you not have to go back to worktomorrow?”

“No. I textedwith Rose and she told me to just go ahead andtake the week off.”

He gave hera worried look. “Can you afford to just take theweek off?”

“It’s all good. My commission from the Stark sale has stavedoff the wolves for now.” She grinned at him, but the worry stayedfirmly on his face. “Honestly, Connor. It’s fine. Anyway, I pickedup some food from Nan’s Diner on my way home. The special was herchicken stew and biscuits, I hope you like her stew.”

“Love it,” he said.“Thanks, Kira.”

“You’re welcome.” She stood and headed toward the kitchen. “We’lleat in here tonight, if that works for you?”

“Sure,” he said.

She glanced behind her, blushing a little when she realizedhe was staring at her ass. He didn’t look the least bit ashamed tobe caught staring at her butt. In fact, he gave her that flirtygrin that showed off his dimple. “We’ll have a bite to eat andwatch a little Netflix. What do you think?”

Her pussy clenched when his gaze flickeredto her crotch forthebriefest of moments. God, she hoped by Netflix he meant, ‘you cansuck on my cock’. Her cheeks were heating up and she turned awaybefore he could see. “Yeah, that sounds great.”

She hurried into the kitchen, her pussy still doing that slowand maddening throb it had been doing all damn day. All she had todo was think about Connor and she got wet. She was going insane.She’d spent most of the day alternating between feeling guiltyabout how much she wanted Connor and daydreaming about strippinghim naked and spending the day in his bed exploring every part ofhis body with her mouth.

Grace could tell immediately that something was up, but Kiracouldn’t talk to her about it. Not yet anyway. Not when the memoryof how absolutely perfect it felt to have Connor touching her wasso fresh in her mind.

She grabbed a couple bowls from the cupboard and spooned the stewinto them before grabbing water from the fridge and silverware fromthe cupboard. She set the biscuits on two small plates and puteverything on a large wooden tray.

Connor had said she could give him a blowjob tonight and shewas pathetically hopeful that he still meant it. She wanted totaste him. She wanted to hear his harsh moans as she sucked on thatsurprisingly big dick. She wanted to have sex with him.

She stopped in the middle of lifting the tray, her biceps bulging,and set it back on the table.

“Crap,” she whispered. She wantedto have sex withConnor.

No,you don’t. You’re just on some weirdsexual high. It’s a normal reaction, okay? Connor gave you the bestorgasm of your life, it’s no surprise that you want to bang him.The feeling will pass. Don’t give up on something you’ve wantedsince you were a teenager, just because Connor knows how to makeyou come.

She staredblankly out the kitchen window. Her head wassaying all the things it was supposed to say, but she didn’tbelieve a word of it. She wanted to have sex withConnor.

“Hey, Kira?” Connor called from the living room.

“Yeah?”

“Can I trouble you for somewater aswell?”

“Already got it,” she said.
