Of course, there are no spots, so I double-park in front of my apartment. “Why don’t you head in? That way you don’t get wet, and then I’ll gopark.”

She gives me a look. “Don’t be silly. I won’t melt from a littlewater.”

It’s my turn to smile. I love how low maintenance she is. Night and day from hersister.

I wasn’t lying when I told her she’s the only woman I was thinking about tonight. I know why she worries I’m comparing her to Dakota, but I’d take Charlotte any day over some buxom blonde who doesn’t give a shit aboutme.

Charlotte’s hotter. She just doesn’t knowit.

But I plan to worship her gorgeous body until sheunderstands.

The only place to park is on the other side of our apartment complex. After I pull in and turn off the car, I laugh at how hard it’s raining. “Was it not clear just ten minutes ago? Let’s leave your camera gear in the trunk. I’ll get it out first thing in themorning.”

She slips off my jacket and folds it, putting it down next to her. “I don’t want to ruin your brand-newletterman.”

“But you’ll getdrenched.”

She shrugs. “That’s okay.” After unlocking her door, she turns to look at me over her shoulder with an adorable twinkle in her eyes. “I’ll raceyou.”

I chuckle. “And if I win?” Don’t mean to brag, but I did break track records in high school. I’d consider throwing our race, though, if it makes my cupcakehappy.

Her lips twist as she considers the possibilities. “Then I’ll let you pick where I sleeptonight.”

That rod in my jeans throbs. I clear my throat andnod.

“But what ifIwin?” she saysplayfully.

I do my best not to laugh. After all, maybe she has covert sprinting skills, and I’m about to get my ass kicked. “Then I’ll let you pick where I place my goodnightkiss.”

She blushes adorably. “And my options for thatkiss…?”

“Anywhere on your body.” I’m so fucking turned on, and the possibilities for that kiss aren’thelping.

“Deal.”

We get out and close our doors, and I look at her over the top of the car after I lock up. We’ve been standing here for two seconds and we’re already soppingwet.

“Ready?” I have to raise my voice so she can hear me over thedownpour.

I’m about to take off when she yells my name. I turn to look at her just as she lifts her Bronco jersey and bra and flashes me her beautifultits.

Tits that quickly become drippingwet.

I swallow, stunned that my sweet Charlotte is so playful. And ridiculously fucking hot. She laughs and races off, her blonde ponytail swinging behind her, and I stand there like a dumbass, too hard tofunction.

When some blood flow finally reaches the big head on my shoulders, I take off after her. She’s fumbling with her keys, trying to open the door, when I reach her and hoist her over my shoulder and spank her. Nothing too hard, but she squeals and laughs as I bite her closest asscheek.

“Who knew you’d play dirty?” I ask, wondering how dirty she’ll want it when I finally get her naked in mybed.

Once we’re in, I kick the door closed and slowly let her slide down my body. “You’re a naughty girl,cupcake.”

We’re both panting against each other. Water drips off her eyelashes and down her pale cheeks. One of the lamps is on in the living room, but the rest of our apartment is dark and quiet. Duke barely lifts his head from where he’s curled up on mycouch.

She nibbles her plump bottom lip. “You’ve already seen me nearly naked,so…”

I swallow. “Maybe we should get out of these wetclothes.”

She grabs my t-shirt and drags me down the hall toward the bathroom, pausing to fling off her wetjersey.
