He moved up behind her, taking up ninety-nine percent of her attention. “How about I go get some of the wood and you stay in here where it’s warm.”
“I don’t mind. I was just—” she shrugged—“daydreaming I suppose.”
He settled his large, strong hands on her hips and drew her body back closer to his. The second his lips touched the curve of her neck, she tipped her head allowing him more access. A whimper slid from her and she accepted the fact she had fallen for this man. Hard.
“Say yes.”
Pure temptation fell from his lips and it wasn’t even sex he was talking about. Or was it? The hard ridge of his cock pressed into her ass as they stood there together.
“Leena.”
God, she would follow him anywhere if he would only talk to her in that tone. Her legs trembled and her nipples were painfully taut. “Yes.” The word took her three tries to push by her mouth, but she finally she managed to make it happen.
He slid his left hand along her belly to the front of her pants and pushed below the waistband. His fingertips brushed her panties and she fought for breath. Down, move down. Goddamnit, she wanted his thick fingers in her pussy. And his tongue. Or cock. Hell, any of them. All. Just something more than this teasing.
Right before he dipped below the elastic of her lacy boy shorts it clicked in her head what she was supposed to be doing there. Paying attention so the dogs didn’t stay out in the cold too long.
“I have to go.”
He nipped her neck and her clit pulsed. Gritting her teeth, she refused to beg him to just finish her off quick and took a deep—albeit shaky—breath.
“You stay in, I’ll get the dogs and wood.”
Already have the wood. “Thank you,” she managed to mutter. The moment she was alone, she slumped over and struggled not to rub her legs together, anything to give her pussy some friction to allow her to come. “God, I’m pathetic.”
To take her mind off him and what she really longed to do with him, she went to the kitchen for about five seconds then she went to her office and pulled up her email. Falling into the comfortable routine of answering her emails she lost track of time and only when a glass of wine was placed before her did, she stop to look at her watch.
She’d been in there for three hours. “I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be. You have a business to run.”
“I didn’t even think I’d been in here that long.”
“I figured that.” He lowered himself to the edge of the desk. “Your dogs knew too. They just kind of hung out with me. Well, except Argo, I’m not even chopped liver to that boy of yours.”
Even as the smile crossed her face, she looked into the corner where Argo’s bed was. Sure enough, he lay there. Eyes may be closed but she knew he was paying attention to her on some level. “He is a one owner dog.”
“I can see that.” He dragged his knuckles along the side of her face, reawakening all those emotions she’d tried to control earlier. “Are you at a good stopping point?”
“For wine? Maybe.”
“Just wine?” He moved his touch further down her neck and along the collar of her shirt.
“God, you could tempt me to spend the rest of my life naked.”
The second he grinned, she groaned. “Yes, babe, you said that out loud and I have to say, that’s a huge ego boost.” He rolled her closer. “I’d be happy to have you naked for the rest of our lives as well.”
Deep down, she knew they didn’t have a future together, but her belly still flipped a few times at his words. Just the hint of a forever with him and she was ready to swoon like a schoolgirl. Shoving back the disappointment, she managed a smile.
“Yes, I am. Why?”
“Food’s ready.”
“You cooked again?”
“If I didn’t see how well you ate my beef stew I would take offense by that look. I do have skills in the kitchen. Tonight, however, I just put pizza in the oven.” The warmth in his gaze did more to make her realize this man fit into her life.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. Just that you’re my guest. I should be cooking for you.”
“Again, frozen pizza doesn’t count as cooking, so I didn’t really do anything. I need to do something around here to help you.” He leaned closer. “Unless you’d like me as a boy toy.”
“You could be a toy sure but I’m damn positive there’s nothing boy about you.” Her gaze flicked down to his groin and back to meet the devilish glint in his eyes.
“Good of you to notice.” He lifted her from the seat to stand between his legs.
