Page 43 of One Night Seduction

“No!” I argue. “I just…my mother is the worst.”

“That she is. You know you can talk to me, right? We’re friends.”

His hand reaches up to cup my face, and I sink into it, smiling up at him.

“I know. In a few short days, you’ve become one of my favorite people in the whole world.”

He grins at that.

“It’s because I’m so excellent at sex, huh?”

I let out a laugh and shake my head.

“I mean, yes, that helps, but it’s you. I adoreyou.”

Something in his eyes soften at my words, but he doesn’t speak, and I realize I might have made him uncomfortable.

“You know what I mean. I adore you in the sense that I care and appreciate you. I’m really glad we agreed to no strings or expectations because I’d hate to jeopardize a friendship like this!” I add on.

His smile becomes tight, and I instantly feel like I’ve already made this awkward. Mr. Playboy doesn’t do relationships or big feelings. We agreed to be light and carefree, but now I’m sitting here telling him how much I adore him.

Blowing out a heavy breath because I’m just killing it tonight, I wrap my arms around his waist so he won’t pull away from me.

“I’m being stupid and rambling. Ignore me, please.”

His tongue runs over his lower lip like he’s contemplating something before he smiles, bending down to press his lips against mine. I welcome it happily as his hold on my face deepens.

“Coming up for air anytime soon?” my mother snarks.

Ty and I break apart, my irritation bubbling back up as I turn to her.

“What happened to knocking, Mother?”

“In the hallway?” she asks with an eyebrow raise. “Besides, now we’re even. We all decided to head up to Leavenworth for the night tomorrow. You guys in?”

Leavenworth is a cute little Bavarian themed village in the middle of the Cascade Mountains. It’s a little over two hours from the lake house, so it’s great for a day trip but even better for an overnight stay. It’s a total tourist trap, but really fun to go to once in a while.

“Sure, we’re in,” Ty answers as he looks down at me to check.

I nod my head, and my mom actually smiles at that.

“Great, I’ll let Logan know,” she says as she saunters out of the room.

“More like she’ll let his credit card know.”

Ty snorts before letting out a sigh. I nuzzle into him as he holds me tighter and places a kiss to the top of my head.

My Aunt Marissa and Uncle Tom took their car with the twins while Ty, my mom, Logan, and I all piled into his car. Though Ty and I tried to get out of it, Logan insisted, which felt like a special brand of torture. The whole ride, my mother was practically in his lap as he was driving, kissing his hand, his neck, and I’m pretty sure at one point rubbing his cock before he politely stopped her. What happened? I thought he loved a good voyeur moment.

Ty and I just minded our business, and in true Ty fashion, he wouldn’t stop cracking jokes the entire ride up. He was definitely the much needed comic relief for the car.

When we finally drive past the “Welcome to Leavenworth” sign, relief washes through me. Despite not really being able to get away from them, we can at least get some space. Logan booked us all rooms at one of the hotels right in town, or should I say, my mom booked it with his credit card.

We check in, grabbing our room keys as we go to drop off our stuff. The plan is to shop around town a little and then get dinner later. Ty and I drop off our bags, and I go to head back out the door so we can meet everyone when Ty playfully tackles me, pinning me to the bed as he begins peppering my face with kisses.

I giggle and squirm under him as he continues, his large body effectively rendering me helpless.

“Ty! Stop, Stop!” I laugh as he smirks and pulls away.
