I keep hoping I managed to knock her up the first time we made love. We haven’t exactly started using birth control, so it also could’ve happened any of the other times, but I’m pretty sure I knocked her up the first time.
Friday morning, I stroll into the office dying to see my hellcat. Last night, we ordered pizza and watched a movie before she kicked me out. My heart settles into place when I find her sitting at the front desk. “Good morning, hellcat.” I walk behind the desk and spin her around before leaning over to place a kiss on her soft lips. “One white chocolate mocha with extra whipped topping.” I set her coffee on the glass desk. “And one of Nona Evelyn’s blueberry muffins from your delicious recipe.”
“Oh.” Harper takes a sip of her coffee and sighs. “You definitely know the way to a girl’s heart.”
“I’m glad my plan is working.” I kiss her nose and press my luck. “Why don’t we try the new Italian restaurant down the road today for lunch?”
“That sounds great.” She gives me a huge smile, and I barely resist the urge to kiss her until we’re both ready to self-combust.
“Sorry to interrupt.” Raven walks up and leans against the desk before turning to me. “I need to ask you a favor.”
“Ask away,” I tell her, taking a sip of my own coffee. “Doesn’t mean I’ll do it for you.”
“Jerk,” my sister hisses at me before whipping her long black hair behind her back. “I’m supposed to attend a charity thing tonight, but I forgot about it and made a date.” I grit my teeth as she gives me her “oops, I fucked up” smile. “I really want to go on this date.”
“That sounds like a you problem.” There’s no way I’m going to sit at some boring charity shindig while my hellcat sits at home alone.
“I have two tickets.” Raven presses on, sweetening the pot. “You could take Harper with you.” My brain must be completely fried because I never thought about the possibility of turning it into a date with my girl.
“Oh. I don’t think I can,” Harper cuts in. “I don’t have anything to wear.” My hellcat bites her bottom lip while looking back and forth between Raven and me.
“That’s not a problem.” My sister jumps right in without missing a beat. “I can take you out at lunch to find a dress.” She practically vibrates and adds, “The company will pay for it since you’re attending a work function.”
Well-played. I make a mental note to thank Raven when I get her alone.
“It sounds like we have a date. I’ll drive you home after work so you can get ready, and you can pack your stuff to spend the weekend at my place.” Then I lean close to her ear and whisper, “I want you bare under your dress.” I step back and wink at her, enjoying the adorable blush that moves over her face and neck.
“Okay.” Harper sighs, and I can’t resist giving her one more kiss.
Then, turning to my sister, I tell her, “Email me all the information for tonight.”
“You got it,” Raven calls behind me. As I step into my office, I hear my sister and Harper chatting away about the stores they’re going to check out at lunchtime.
At seven o’clock on the dot, I knock on her door. When she pulls the door open, I almost swallow my tongue at the sight standing before me. “You’re fucking stunning.” That’s an understatement, but my blown mind can’t come up with anything better. Tonight, she’s pulled her auburn curls up in some sort of fancy hairstyle that leaves her neck bare. My lips tingle with the urge to leave my mark at the base of her throat to warn all the other men away.
“You don’t look so bad yourself.” She wraps her silky arms around my waist and leans up to kiss my cheek.
“Surely, I deserve a real kiss,” I tell her before I close my lips over hers and devour her mouth. As her tongue tangles with mine, her soft curves melt against my body and my cock grows iron-hard. All too soon, she pulls back and sighs. “If we don’t slow things down, we’ll never make it to the event.”
I’m tempted to say fuck it and drag her into the apartment to have my way with her luscious body, but I can’t resist the urge to take her out. “Can I have a raincheck?” I lay my forehead against hers. “We’ll go enjoy this charity gala, then I’ll bring you back to my place and spend the rest of the night making love to you.”
“That sounds like a plan to me.” She smiles at me. “I just need to grab my purse and overnight bag, then we can get this show on the road.”
