“Then what do you want me to do?”
“You asked me to be open and communicate better with you. I’m doing that now. That means I want to stop talking about Hunter. If this is going to work between us, he can’t have any space in our relationship.”
Jami’s right, but I can’t help but feel guilty about his troubles.
My shoulders fall forward, and I trek to the kitchen. “I’m going to get you something to eat. You need to take your medication soon and it’s better if it’s not on an empty stomach. What do you want me to make?”
He doesn’t answer me, so I turn to figure out what he’s doing.
He’s slowly making his way across the room. “I’m not hungry right now. Not for that anyway.”
“Jami, the doctor said, if you get behind managing your pain, you’ll be chasing it. I don’t want that for you.”
He stops right in front of me and takes my hands in his.
“I may not be able to move well, but I’m not completely out of commission.” His sexy tone speaks of promises of my wildest dreams.
My stomach somersaults. “What are you saying?”
He presses his forehead against mine. “I’m saying I’m cranky because I want to be with you. I’ve been trying to figure out a way for that to work and I’ve been hitting brick walls. But now that we’re here, I have a few ideas.”
My breath hitches. “Really?”
“Yes, temptress, but I need your help.” His voice simmers with fiery possibilities.
“Just tell me what you need me to do.”
He pulls away from me and smiles with a sinful twinkle in his eyes. “That’s my good girl. It makes me so pleased you haven’t forgotten who’s in charge.”
“Oh.” Every cell in my body explodes with desire. I’m wet in a few beats.
Hoping I don’t combust on the spot, I shift to release the building pressure between my legs and shiver in anticipation. “Does that mean…”
“It means go to my bedroom and strip for me. We’ll take it from there.” His eyes grow dark and fill with lust. “What are you waiting for?”
“Um…nothing. You.” I blink as I try to compute what he’s asking for. “I mean, do you want me to go in there first?”
“Dori, get in my room and strip. Don’t worry about anything else.”
I nod. My heart beats erratically.
Holy shit.
I finally get to be with him again.
I’m out of the kitchen and hurrying down his hall to his bedroom in seconds.
I enter his room and go to his king-size bed. There’s exposed brick behind his headboard and a dark gray duvet thrown over the top of the bed.
This room screams,fuck me hard and good.’The thought has my mouth watering.
Jami’s heavy footsteps come to my awareness. I turn and gaze at the sexiest man alive.
“Why are you just staring at me, temptress? I’ve already told you what I want.”
“I know. It’s just… Are you sure you’re good to do this?”
“Take off your clothes. Now.”
