I couldn’t help but feel at least alittlesmug. "Today."
I didn't bother with the details. I could fill those in later. But basically, I'd quit almost immediately after apologizing to that awful woman. And, in more responsible news, I'd even finished my shift.
In hindsight, I was actually pretty proud of myself.
Watching me, Jake's lips curved into an amused smile. "And you didn't call to tell me?"
Probably, he'd been in the air at the time. But that wasn't the point. I smiled back. "You're not the only one with secrets."
His expression turned thoughtful. "Hmmm."
"Hmm what?"
His hands were still on my wrists. He pulled me closer, tucking my hands between our chests. "I have a surprise, too."
I could feel the surprise, raging hard against my pelvis. Unable to stop myself, I pressed my hips closer, loving the feel of his erection, pulsing now, through our clothes.
And then, before I knew it, I was swept up in his arms, laughing as he carried me toward the bedroom. "Wait!" I giggled. "Don't you want pizza?"
He didn't even pause. "Nope. All I want, I've got right here."
I was still laughing. "But what about me?"
"Why?" he asked, as he carried through the bedroom doorway. "Are you starving?"
"Definitely." I smiled. "For you."
"Yeah?"
I leaned my head against his chest and said, softer now, "Definitely."
