Page 49 of Chasing Infinity

Addison turns her head up to face me. “Really?”

“Every minute of every day.”

She looks pleased with my answer and then leans back on my chest, her fingers tracing the outline of my pecs and down to my stomach. My muscles clench as she continues her exploration lower, and she laughs, looking up at me with twinkling eyes.

“Ticklish?”

My lips twitch. “A little.”

“I feel like there’s so much I don’t know about you, still. All these years that we could’ve had together, just…gone.”

I turn my eyes up to the ceiling at her admission, trying to think of a way that I can respond. Thankfully my body chooses that time to react to its baser needs—my stomach growls obnoxiously loud.

“Are you hungry?” Addison asks me, amusement twinkling in her eye now.

“I did just expend an insane amount of calories. A man’s gotta recharge,” I tease her, thankful for the redirection of conversation. “Do you have any frozen pizzas?”

“Luckily for you, I just might.” She pushes off of me, moving to sit up. Her fingers tangle in her hair, and she pulls it up into a bun on top of her head. Grabbing the comforter off the bed, she wraps it around her body and pads out of the bedroom into the kitchen.

I hear her rustling around in the freezer, and I reach for a pair of sweatpants, pulling them on over my hips so I can go join her. When I walk out to the kitchen, Addison’s got a thin crust supreme pizza in her hands, and she’s preheating the oven. I move behind her, my hands coming to rest on her hips over the comforter, and I lean down, pressing a kiss to the juncture of her neck and shoulder. Her body shivers against me, and I grin devilishly.

“I have never seen anything quite as sexy as you standing here wrapped in a blanket and making me a pizza. Like something out of a wet dream.”

Addison gasps and whips around to face me, her cheeks blushing bright pink. “Noah!”

“Just telling it how it is, Parks.”

She wiggles out of my grip and opens the oven door, tossing the pizza in without waiting for the appliance to preheat. Then she turns back to face me, her hands letting go of the blanket wrapped around her body and traveling up to circle around my neck. I can’t help but let my eyes fall to her body, taking in her standing naked before me.

When my gaze finally returns to hers, she’s blushing again, her teeth nibbling on her bottom lip. “How about you have me for a snack while we wait?”

“How long do we have?”

“Sixteen to twenty minutes.”

I bend down and scoop her underneath her ass in a swift movement, lifting her by the thighs. She wraps her legs around me and presses her body close to mine. Her teeth find my ear lobe, and she bites gently, just like she was doing to her bottom lip only moments ago.

“The clock’s ticking, Lockwood,” she whispers. “Are you up to the challenge?”

“I was made to serve you, my queen,” I mutter to her before capturing her lips in a kiss. I walk us back to her bedroom, tossing her onto the mattress and crawling up her body. Addison wriggles underneath me, jutting her hips up against mine, searching for friction.

A wry smirk crosses my face as I pull away from her. Her eyes flare at me as I press a kiss to both of her clavicles, then kiss my way to her belly button, my tongue dipping into the divot of her belly. I raise an eyebrow at her, silently asking permission to explore lower. Addison bites her bottom lip and nods her head fervently at me, her pelvis rising slightly in invitation. I smile to myself and resume kissing her, not wasting any more time.

Exactly seventeen minutes later, we’re camped out on her bed underneath the covers. Addison is sated, her cheeks flushed a gorgeous pink indicating our recent activities, and I’m shoving pizza into my face. The way I see it, we’re both perfectly satisfied. I glance over at Addison in between slices and see she’s still working on her first one, her eyes glazed. Scooting closer to her, I place a finger under her chin and tilt her face up to meet me.

“You alright there?” I inquire.

Her eyes refocus on me, and she smiles. “I’ve never been better. Just worn out in the best way.”

I smirk back at her, feeling the pride well in my chest. “So I guess you won’t be needing your vibrator tonight?”

Addison laughs lightly. “No, definitely not. I should take your advice and just throw that thing away, I suppose.”

I let go of her chin and reach for another slice of pizza, watching her out of the corner of my eye. “Well, I don’t know if you need to go to that extreme. We could probably find a good use for it together.”

As I expect, Addison’s already flushed cheeks flushing at my suggestion. “Noah!”

“Just a thought, I don’t know about you, but I like other flavors besides just vanilla,” I say with a chuckle and bite into my pizza.
