Ellie

*dramatically shivers* Can’t wait. ??

Me

I’m sitting in a public parking lot with a raging hard-on now. Thanks for that.

Ellie

Come over, and I’ll take care of it for you.

Me

Be there in ten.

I’ve never driven so fast in my life.

CHAPTER20

Ellie

I grinat my phone like a loon. Rereading our text exchange has me giggling. I haven’t actually bought the plant. I was just trying to rile him up, but come Monday morning, that plant will be in his office. No matter what I have to pay to make it happen.

I can’t wait to see his reaction. And I know he will follow through on those consequences. The thought makes a shiver run down my spine. Maybe we’ll finally break in his desk like he’s been teasing me these past few weeks.

This is exactly what I needed to get my mind off the engagement party. It’s only a couple of days away now, and I’ve gotten more anxious the closer it gets. This will be the first time I’ll have seen my parents in almost two years. I’m not sure I’m ready for it.

In fact, I know I’m not ready for it. Just the idea of having to say hello to them makes my stomach turn. And there will be no avoiding them since the party is at their house.

A knock at the door interrupts my thoughts. I grin as I race to the door to let Adam in. He made it here faster than I thought he would, which only makes me more excited. I love that he’s just as needy about spending time together as I am. It’s helped to assure me that he genuinely wants to be in this relationship.

I swing open the door, and Adam is on me in seconds. His hands cup my chin, tilting my head up as he devours my mouth. I fist the strands of his hair, holding on for dear life. Holy fuck, this kiss is everything I needed. It’s pure fire and passion exploding through my body, so hot I’m afraid I’m going to burn up before we even get into the living room.

I hear the door slam shut, and suddenly I’m turned around, my back pushed up against the wood. Adam presses his hips against mine, his erection digging into my stomach, making me grind into him.

He drops his hands to my ass and lifts me up. My legs automatically wrap around his hips and pull him closer. We both groan as his cock presses against my clit.

“I didn’t plan to maul you as soon as I walked through the door,” Adam says against my lips. He kisses down my jaw, then nips my earlobe, making me grind against him. “You just looked so fucking sexy standing there in my shirt; I couldn’t help myself.”

He boosts me up higher and nuzzles his face in my boobs. Thank God I’m not wearing a bra right now. I didn’t mean to open the door in only his T-shirt, but I got so excited I didn’t think to put on pants.

“I am not complaining in the slightest.” I moan when Adam bites my nipple through the cotton.

He pulls us away from the door and speed walks up the stairs to my bedroom. I bite his neck as we move, then lick away the sting, making him groan. His fingers dig into the flesh of my ass hard enough to leave marks. I can’t wait to see those in the morning.

He lays us down on my bed, the weight of his body pressing into mine as he sweeps me up into another searing kiss. I think I could do this for the rest of my life.

Nope. Not going there right now.

I grip the hem of Adam’s T-shirt and pull it over his head. Damn, the man has some sexy muscles.

“I just realized I’m sweaty from playing soccer.” He starts to pull away from me. “Let me go shower, then we can continue.”

I tighten my legs around his waist. “I couldn’t give a flying fuck. We’ll shower afterward if you want, but I’m dying for you, Adam.”

He smirks at me. “Good.” His fingers wrap around the waistband of my underwear to pull them down my hips. He throws them across the room, keeping his eyes locked on my pussy.

He bites his lip like he’s never seen anything sexier than me spread out before him. Without thought, my knees fall further apart, opening me fully to his gaze. A growl rumbles through him as he grips my inner thighs in a tight hold, only to push my legs open until I’m at my limit.
