“See, I just got out of the shower.” I showed him my towel and opened it briefly for a quick peek inside at my breasts and stomach. Knight’s sapphire eyes swept the small space of his car then leaned forward.
“Lumi,” he growled. “I can’t properly appreciate you while I’m in the car.”
“I know,” I pouted.
“Take the towel off.” I shifted around and untied the knot letting it fall away from my body. “Now I’m going to have a hard dick on the way to AA.”
A giggle flew from my mouth. I tortured him by sliding my hand down my body, stopping at my breasts, pinching my nipples like I knew he’d do if he were in front of me.
“God, Lumi. You know if I were there with you, I’d pin you down and eat your pussy until you drowned me, right?”
“I know.” It came out as a half-sigh half-whimper. “I didn’t mean to tease you,” I told him. “I just wanted to catch you before you went to the meeting to tell you how proud I am of you, Knight.” My words caught him off guard. His dark blond brows twisted into a question mark.
“Proud of me?” He chuckled at the absurdity.
“You’ve been sober for three months and after how close you came last month, I think you should be proud too. You didn’t falter. It takes someone with insane inner-strength to step back from the ledge. You did it. I didn’t have that much strength when I was faced with my own ledge.” Hot tears pricked my eyes but I blinked them away.
“Lumi, what you were going through was different.”
“I know but still. I’m so proud of your journey, Knight. You amaze me every day. You’ve turned your weakness into a strong foundation to stand on and now you’re helping people. It’s such a beautiful transformation. You deserve all the celebration, baby.” A smile lifted my lips. Knight smiled back at me and shook his head.
“I don’t even know what to say, Lumi. That means so much to me. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
“Fuck, I want to kiss you so bad right now.” He shoved his fingers through his hair and stared at me for a while.
“Soon.”
“Soon,” he said back.
“Go to your meeting, Knight. I just wanted to tell you how proud of you I am. Call me when you’re done. I want to see your chip. You don’t get another one until six months, right?”
“Yup. It seems like a lifetime from now.”
“It’ll go by fast. I promise.”
“Yeah?” He smirked a little and my stomach clenched. God, he was sexy. His sharp jawline and strong chin should have been on the pages of a magazine.
“I have some ideas on how to pass the time.”
“I’m all ears, Lumi,” he laughed.
“I bet you are. Go to your meeting. I’ll show you how I’ll keep you busy for the next three months later.”
“I’ll hold you to it.” He paused then said, “I left something in your bag. I figured you must not have found it yet since you haven’t said anything.”
My face crashed into a frown. “You snuck something in my bag? Knight, what if I got in trouble going through airport security,” I teased.
“Nah, you wouldn’t get stopped for what I left. I still have a few minutes. Go look at it.”
I nodded and grabbed my bag from the sitting room. “I must say, Ms. Foster, I don’t mind looking at this view.” I was completely naked walking around my suite and the way I angled the phone gave Knight a perfect view of my breasts.
“Perv.”
“Hey, we can’t all be perfect. Some of us have to have fun.” His deep laugh made me tingle. I grabbed my bag and brought it to the bed then I unzipped it, looking for what didn’t belong. “It’s at the very bottom in a blue bag.”
I shoved my hand all the way down and connected with a small gift bag. I pulled it out and reached inside. I took out two brand new Hot Wheels and a birthday card that read:
