“Baby,” I said getting up in her face again. “You just gave me the best blowjob of my life. You think I’m going to wait to kiss you after that?”
 
 The answer was ‘fuck no.’
 
 I pulled her into me and kissed the hell out of her and it only took her a split second to relax and melt into me. I wouldn’t lie, I loved this. Every second of it. Everything single thing about it.
 
 “You’re still naked,” I said against the soft skin of her neck as I placed a few delicate kisses there.
 
 “Well, yeah.” She giggled and I felt her fingers rake through my hair. “I kinda figured after you gave me that bone-melting orgasm earlier, clothing was optional.”
 
 “Always. Clothing should always be optional. Matter fact, clothes shouldn’t be an option at all.” I smiled up at her.
 
 “So, you just want me to walk around naked all the time?” Her eyes shined with mirth.
 
 “Yes,” I said and nodded my head.
 
 “Alright. Just remember you said that when the boys are over here hanging out.” She rolled out of the bed with lightning speed.
 
 “Oh, fuck no!” I growled as I sat up and attempted to grab her to pull her back in bed. But I wasn’t fast enough and she was making her way out of the room. The sheets caught around my legs as I vaulted over the end of the bed and wrapped my arms around her waist. “No one sees this but me,” I said low and dangerous into her ear.
 
 “If you say so,” she said as she tried to cover up the fact that her body had just done a hard shiver against me. “I gotta get ready for work.”
 
 “Gwen,” I said in a tone that let her know I knew exactly what she was doing.
 
 She didn’t move, her back stayed plastered to my front for a few long beats. It didn’t escape me that she hadn’t talked. The ‘we’ part of that conversation I wanted to have somehow turned into justmetalking.
 
 “I’ll talk later, Knight. Right now I just need to…” She blew out a harsh breath and frantically ran her fingers through her hair. “I need to digest it all for a bit. Yeah?”
 
 “Alright,” I said placing a few light kisses along her shoulder. “But I want to hear it all. Don’t hold back because you’re afraid to let me know how much you hurt.”
 
 “Okay,” she whispered, then turned in my arms. With one sweet, slow kiss she made the world disappear, then she was pulling away from me. “Oh, by the way. My dad will be in town this weekend.”
 
 Shit!
 
 She flashed me a smile then darted out of my room and across the apartment into hers.
 
 It looked like I was going to have that talk with Brass sooner than I was prepared for. It wasn’t that I wanted to put it off. It was more that with those few words, reality crashed down on me like a two-ton car.
