She opened heavy-lidded eyes. “More, please.”
She was going to actively kill me.
And there was no way I’deversay no.
“Stay after I put Danny to bed.”
With a blink, her hazel eyes cleared, and she nibbled on her lower lip. “I’m seriously rusty and know nothing about children,” she whispered, then she looked over her shoulder at Danny and Trouble tripping over one another on the patchy grass. “And should we talk about this in front of him?”
I grinned. “Number one, he sleeps like the dead.” I eased around to kiss her neck. “Handily.”
A soft smile spread across her face.
“Number two, I’m very, very patient.”
Her breath hitched and I willed my far too happy dick to take a chill pill.
“Dad! I think Trouble ate another daffodil.”
I laughed. “I’m going to owe my mother a full week’s pay in flowers.” I rolled up onto my knees and dragged her up with me. “Time to tire out Danny.”
Her eyes sparkled as she kicked off her heels and ran ahead to help Danny get the bulb out of the happily munching Trouble’s mouth.
We traded a flower bulb for his favorite squeaker ball, and we played fetch with Trouble and it ended up with me and Danny sweaty and dirty by the end of it.
But I did, in fact, tire him out.
Nora ended up back on the blanket, watching us with pure happiness in her eyes.
It was one of the best days I’d had in years.
As the sun dipped lower in the trees and the chill of impending night hit, I packed them both up. My mom sent us over to my place with leftovers for both of us, as well as a pint of ice cream.
Nora followed me over to the house. Together, we went up the back steps to the deck and in through the sliding glass doors.
“Sorry, the place is...”
“Where two males live?”
I sighed. “I hate to be a stereotype, and yet here we are.”
“I’ll survive.” She looked around and I groaned inwardly at just how cluttered the table was. My laptop had been moved up here to do bills and now I had a bunch of things to look at before tomorrow.
It was a good problem to have—especially after the last few months, but not exactly the kind of seduction scene I would usually bring a woman in to.
“I have to make sure he takes a shower.”
“I can handle poking around your house.” She laughed at what must have been my shocked face. “I wouldn’t be that rude. Probably.”
Danny and Trouble thundered through the living room and down the hallway. “Taking a shower!” he yelled.
“Guess we have the shower part going pretty well, which lets me do this.” I caught her hand and pulled her into me. Her eyes went wide when I swooped in and took her mouth in a hot, hard kiss. I pulled away after my brains started to misfire. “I also don’t want to hear you’re rusty again. It just means I get to show you just how much I will worship this delicious body.”
I coasted my hands down her hips to cup her ass. The gauzy material making it abundantly clear that there was very little under that damn dress. I ground against her to let her know just how into her I was.
Hot breath hit my shin and I looked down to find Trouble staring at us, his tongue rolled out in his goofy way. His golden eyes were happy, and I wasn’t sure much else was going on behind them.
She laughed. “Will he be joining us later?”
