As tired as I am, I’m lying on my back in the middle of my bed unable to sleep. All around me is her honeysuckle scent and the memories of her body. I viscerally remember her over me, under me, her hands on my c-ck… and I groan, lifting my phone from the nightstand again.
I’m about to roll over when a loud noise from the back patio causes me to sit straight up in bed. Throwing aside the blanket, I swing my legs out of the bed when I hear the back door latch open. I’m on my feet as it closes solidly, and my mind races through my options. I have a baseball bat in the closet. My gun safe is in the kitchen…
The bedroom door opens slowly, and I step back, lifting my fists in case I have to fight. Adrenaline surges in my veins, although I’m actually more curious than scared. Despite what Piper said on the square, nothing ever happens in Eureka.
As soon as I see her, I straighten, dropping my hands and catching my breath. “What are you doing here?”
“I couldn’t sleep.” Piper stands in my doorway in front of me, still in that cream sweater, but her jeans have been replaced with fuzzy beige pajama pants. “I’m sorry—did I wake you?”
Her eyes are so big in the yellow lights from the hall, and I don’t waste a moment going to her and pulling her to my chest.
“No.” It’s all I get out before leaning down to cover her mouth with mine.
Her lips part, and our tongues collide. She tastes like mint and fresh water, and I lift her off her feet in one fluid motion. Her legs are around my waist, and I carry her to the bed. She sits on the edge as I reach down to lift the sweater over her head, leaving her in a delicate white lace bra that only covers the bottom half of her small breasts.
It provides a teasing glimpse of her nipples and her dark pink areolas, and my d!ck is instantly hard. “We’re leaving this on for now.”
I lie her back on the soft sheets and reach behind my neck to pull my shirt over my head. Her eyes race down my bare torso, and her tongue slips out to draw her bottom lip into her mouth as she watches me.
“Keep looking at me like that, and I’m going to have to f--k you hard.” I can’t keep the hunger out of my tone.
I’m gratified that her pretty eyes shine, and a grin curls her lips. “Promise?”
