Oh.
He brought it to the hot and hard currently straining against the fabric of his pants. “Oh yeah, gorgeous. You hurt me.” A nip to my bottom lip. “Because you kissed me like that, and you didn’t do it while you were naked.”
I sucked in a breath.
But he was already pushing off me, hauling me to my feet, bundling me around the front of my car and to the driver’s side door.
A moment later, I was inside on the seat, and he was pulling the belt across my body.
Click.
His hand on my cheek. His lips brushing mine. His eyes locking with mine, molten and swirling and making my mind go hazy with need all over again. “You working tomorrow night?”
I focused on the words, managed to nod.
“I’ll come by for dinner.”
More focusing. More nodding.
“Ethan with the sitter?”
“No…uh…”
Shit. I’d forgotten that Mary had a date the following night. I was supposed to have called my backup sitter.
Fingers on my cheek. “What’s the matter, sweetheart?”
“My normal girl has a date tomorrow,” I whispered. “I forgot that I was supposed to call my backup sitter today and?—”
“I’ll watch him,” he said instantly.
I blinked.
“What time are you on at the bar?”
“Um…”
“Gorgeous.” A thumb running over one cheek. “What time are you working tomorrow?”
“Six to close,” I whispered.
“I have practice tomorrow. Bring Ethan to CeCe’s. I’ll meet you there. He and I will eat dinner together and hang out with you for a bit and then I’ll take him home and hang at your place until you get home.”
“Um…”
A tug on a strand of my hair. “I’ll be at CeCe’s at six tomorrow.”
“Um…”
“Goodnight, sweetheart.”
He straightened, closed my door.
And then he walked away.
And then…I drove away.
Because I couldn’t sit in my car, staring at where Cas had disappeared.
