“Is it safe to leave them out here?” I asked.

“Maybe we should wait a bit and see?”

Cockblocked by a cat. Damn it.

I sat on the couch, beside Sophie. She moved in close and I wrapped my arm around her. Beast stared at Goober, tongue hanging out, while the cat continued to ignore us. Beast finally gave up and curled in his bed. At least one creature was going to get a good night’s sleep.

Sophie whispered in my ear. “One down.”

I shivered as her breath touched my neck. I tightened my arm around her and she tucked in closer. It seemed a waste not to at least kiss her, but I wasn’t going to pay any attention to the animals if I was kissing Sophie.

Goober turned and examined the room. She blinked at Beast, in a tight circle with his nose under his tail. She jumped from the counter to one of the stools at the breakfast bar, with a cheerful cushion tied on the seat. She circled on it, stopped, circled again, and finally settled in almost the same pose as Beast.

I slid my hand up and down the top of Sophie’s arm, enjoying the contact. Her head was on my shoulder, and most of me was content there. My dick, however, was getting ideas, and I wasn’t sure if that was in the cards now.

Sophie pulled back. “Dare we hope they’re settled?”

“Do you want to keep watching?”

“I’ll fall asleep if we do and that’s not why I came over.”

“Let’s go to the bedroom and see what we can do. But quietly.” I stood up and held my hand out to her.

She stood and followed me. My brain bounced between worry about how clean the sheets were, how I’d gotten lucky enough that she was here at all, and all the sexy things I wanted to do with her that we hadn’t gotten to yet.

Sophie took a last look back at the dog and cat, then paused in the doorway looking around. “You haven’t done much.”

I shrugged. “Not sure how long I’ll be in Austin.”

She nodded. “So this,” she gestured between us, “is just casual.”

I froze. I wasn’t sure of anything beyond that she was here, and hadn’t considered there might be a future. She was the daughter and sister of big-name music people, and had married one of the best goalies the league had seen in recent years. How did I stack up against that? And what if Otts found out?

She noticed my lack of response. “I didn’t mean to freak you out. I was just clarifying. Is that a problem?”

I took a step toward her and reached for her hands. My freaking out had nothing to do with her and was entirely in my own fucked-up head. “After the first time, I didn’t have any expectations. Tonight is a bonus, because I hadn’t planned ahead at all. But for the record, I’m happy to keep this going if you want.”

“Sounds like we’re on the same page, so?—”

Her words stopped as I kissed her. The kissing and sex had been good, so I wasn’t going to risk messing things up by talking any longer.

Sophie relaxed into me, opening so I could explore her. She chased my tongue into my mouth and I held her tightly against me. Her hair was soft, a faint trace of a floral scent wafting from her warm and willing body. My dick hardened and my hands roamed over her back, her sides, and then her ass. Her hands pushed into my hair, and I loved the tug on my scalp.

I pulled back. “Naked, right?”

“You first this time,” she agreed, cheeks flushed and her hair mussed. I didn’t remember doing that, but right now the important thing was to do what she’d asked.

I pulled the long-sleeved tee over my head, only needing one additional tug to get it off. I was afraid I’d looked clumsy, but Sophie’s eyes were glued to my chest and abs, so I flexed. Her eyes shot up to my face. “This why you wanted me naked?”

“Keep going.” Her words came out breathless and husky, sending shivers up my spine.

I was wearing sweats, since I didn’t dress up to take Beast out, so it was quick work to shove them down and kick them off. I paused, put my thumbs in my waistband, then pushed the boxer briefs down and off, throwing them haphazardly toward the hamper.

Her eyes were wide and now focused on my hard dick which flexed for her as well. She backed to the bed and sat down. “Come here.”

Another twitch from my dick as it got ideas about what she wanted to do. I stepped forward quickly, stopping in front of her, glad I’d showered recently.

She looked up. “May I?”
