Knight picked up his beer and dropped into the chair beside me. “You’re home earlier than expected.”
“Yeah.” I sighed. “I’ve got the clinic tomorrow evening. Thought I’d rest up while I could.”
“Does that mean you’re too tired?”
I glanced over, a smile tugging at my lips. “For what?”
“For a little private party, just the two of us.”
“Hmm, maybe. Does this party include more margaritas?”
“And less clothing,” he said. “In fact, we can’t let you in unless you lose the pants.”
“This party is scandalous!” I said with a laugh and lifted my glass. “I better drink more of this margarita if you want me to get all wild again.”
He took the glass from my hand and gave me a devilish smile. “I think you can handle it, Angel. You’re not the good boy you pretend to be.”
He slid his hand into my hair, tugging me toward him, and I fell into the kiss with a sigh of bliss. Why had I thought hooking up would be such a terrible idea?
This was very, very good.
I stood up and held out my hand to him. “Come on. Let’s go inside, and I’ll show you how bad I can be.”
CHAPTER 14
KNIGHT
Aidenand I fell into a pattern of sharing dinner, then hooking up on the sofa or on the floor or at the dining room table. Anywhere but the bedroom, it seemed.
Friday, I lay over him, pressing kisses to his neck and relishing the shiver that moved through his body. “You know, we could take this to a bed for a change.”
He tilted his head, giving me more access. “But then you’d have to stop touching me.”
“Mm.” I rubbed my lips over his stubble, loving the prickly texture. “That would be a tragedy.”
We were all over each other, which was great, but Iwantedto take my time. Wanted to lay Aiden out, devour every inch of his body, and make him come for me all night long.
A bit too intense? Most likely. It had only been a week since he stopped avoiding me.
Aiden slipped a hand between us, cupping my cock as he licked his kiss-bruised lips. “Do you want to?—”
My phone’s ring cut across his words.
“Damn it,” I muttered, reaching out for it. “I’ll just turn it off.”
“You can take it.” Aiden slid out from under me, looking deliciously disheveled. “I’ve got to finish some laundry, thanks to some awkward stains on my favorite shirt.”
I smirked. “Next time, you should get naked. In fact, you can go without clothes all the time. I’ll find some way to cope.”
“Oh, I’m sure it’d be a burden,” he teased, dropping one last kiss to my lips before heading for the hallway.
I checked my phone screen.
Dalton Harvey. The sheriff.
He was dating Axel, which made him part of my circle of friends, but not really. We didn’t know each other that well. My connection to that group was always through Flynn.
My heart leaped into my throat, and I picked up the call. “Is Flynn okay?”
