My body spun around to track Blue’s movement, and when I saw her fall down onto my bed, my throat went dry. With her head propped up on a pillow, she grinned wide.
“He’s uh…” I scratched at my chin. “In the room down the hall. The guest room.”
Nodding, she shifted her arms so they were now behind her head. She was making herself right at home in my bed, and fuck, if that didn’t make my heart soar. Straight-up perfection was lying in my bed right now, and all I could imagine was getting right up in there with her.
“You look cozy.” The comment came out of my mouth before I could stop it. It was the truth, though. She looked beyond comfortable, with her toes digging into the blanket and her head cradled in the pillow. But the way it came out all strained and gravely, I sounded eager to hop into the bed with her.
“I am.” She smiled without her teeth. “I like your comforter, too. Might have to take it back with me.”
My breathing seized watching as she lifted her body and snuggled under the softness of the blanket. My blanket. I couldn’t even put words together as I observed her. I was at a loss for what to say. All I knew was that I felt like I had fallen in love all over again. A relaxed sigh fell past her lips when she brought it up to her face and sniffed the fabric.
Did it still smell like me?
When a faint smile graced her lips, I had gotten my answer.
“You can take whatever you want, Blue.” I swallowed, suddenly feeling overwhelmed with all the emotions that were flowing through me.
“Anything?” Her brow rose with a mischievous gleam in her stare.
Fucking anything, Blue.
“Depends.” I teased. Then, taking four slow steps toward the bed, I ran my hand along the end of the bed and rubbed her calf.
“On what?” She tried bucking my hand off her leg, but I continued to knead her.
Laughing, I kept a mental note that this was a ticklish spot.
“What do I get in return?” I released her leg and pressed my knee onto the mattress beside her. Eyes never wavering from mine, I climbed up the rest of the way until I was straddling her legs.
“What do you want?” She eyed me skeptically while her throat contracted. What I wanted was to strip her bare and lick her all night, but I kept the fantasy to myself.
“Whatever you’re willing to give me.”
I shifted further up her body until I was able to place both palms on each side of her head. Her stare widened, but she quickly recovered with a shy grin. Lips the shade of soft pink gleamed as she swept her tongue along the perimeter of her mouth. The subtle movement demanded my attention. Just the brief image of her tongue had every single nerve ending light up. It didn’t matter what she did, big or small. She’d always have my full attention.
I held her stare. Never breaking from one another, we spoke with our eyes.
I love you, Blue. More than you’ll ever comprehend.
My chest rose and fell to the steady beat of my heart. I wanted to kiss her again. Softly. Endlessly. I wanted her lips molded to mine. Then, with an unhurried pace, I began to lower my head. The only sound to be heard was the increasing tempo of my heart.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
I dropped to the beat of my heart.
Just as my mouth was about to finally connect with hers, she pressed her palms onto the center of my chest and pushed. Hard. I was flung onto my back in a matter of seconds. Caught off guard, I reached for her waist to stop her, but she had already managed to get on top of me and had both my wrists locked in her grip.
What the…?
My girl fucking got me. Unaware that she was even capable of flipping me over, I stared at her with a shocked expression. I didn’t even bother to flip back over her. I was too impressed, too fucking turned on to move. Especially when her blonde locks were now arranged messily on the top of her head while a playful grin peered down at me.
“Got you.” She whispered in a breathy tone that totally made the wires in my brain go haywire.
Fuck.
