“Okay,” I breathed. I think I would have agreed to just about anything.
His lips found mine and he started a slow, sensual kiss. His teeth took my lower lip biting gently and I moaned into his mouth.
The man couldkiss.
When his tongue finally joined with mine, my entire body suffused with heat and I wrapped my arms around him pulling him closer. His hands traveled down my body to grab my ass firmly, one of the areas of my body he undoubtedly liked a hell of a lot and always had.
“You game for a quickie?” he asked, his mouth against mine.
Was he kidding? I felt like I’d die if he left me like this.
“Yeah,” I said, giving a little sigh as his fingers traced my nipples through his shirt.
He smiled, pure satisfaction on his face. “Like that, missed it.”
“What?” I asked, my voice more breathless as his fingers continued their ministrations.
“That little sigh, I would hear it in my head all the time and it always made me hard as a rock.”
I grinned. He’d thought about me, a lot while he was gone. I was glad because I’d sure as hell thought about him, about five hundred times a day.
“One sec,” he whispered against my mouth.
He backed away leaving me feeling bereft of the contact and swung the door open, leaving the room.
A minute later, I heard the front door open and shut. No doubt he’d told the guys to wait outside.
“Great, now they know we’re doing it,” I grimaced when he’d returned.
He chuckled and pulled my shirt over my head. “Better that than have them hear all those sweet little sounds you make for me,” he replied as his lips found my nipple.
“Right,” I agreed, my breath slightly ragged.
In the end, it wasn’t much of a quickie and the guys were probably pissed. But, when Sal left me naked on the bed, utterly satiated with my hair in disarray and my skin flushed, I couldn’t say I cared.
Chapter 10
Although I was thoroughly elated that my stay with Sal had ended up the way it did, I was concerned about overstaying my welcome. I called Sal and after a brief, heated debate, he agreed to let me go back to my place for the day as long as one of the guys was nearby. I hated being babysat, but I wanted to be in my own space bad enough to deal with it for a time. I was also a bit worried about overcrowding Sal. Our new relationship was so fragile, I didn’t want to risk it. Axel’s younger brother, Ryker agreed to hang out downstairs for a while. As a new prospect with the club, he volunteered for all the boring shit no one else wanted to do. Hence, being stuck with me. He claimed he had some reading to do anyway. That was a big fat lie, but I’d take it.
I was soaking in my long lost tub after having gone through some mail and cleaning up a bit. I knew I had an overdue phone call to make to Scar, but for now, I was enjoying the quiet. I’d even lit some candles and poured a glass of wine. It had been a long time since I felt truly content, and I was relishing the feeling.
My buzzer sounded just as I was about to get out. My skin was getting on the pruned side.
I crossed the room to my intercom, throwing my robe haphazardly around me. “Yeah?” I asked, my tone a bit wary. I wasn’t expecting anyone.
“Hey, baby. It’s me, let me up,” Sal’s voice came booming through my small apartment.
I grinned from ear to ear and buzzed him up. Clearly, he wasn’t too worried about wanting space. I opened the door for him and headed toward the bath to blow out the candles.
“Expecting company?” he teased from the doorway, taking in my romantic ambiance.
I turned to look at him and, as always, was struck by how beautiful he was. He was dressed in all black as usual, his T-shirt hugging his form in a way that made my mouth water. I felt my belly flutter as he stood there with his hands in his pockets, regarding me with his dark, soulful eyes.
“Hey, don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it,” I grinned, gesturing to the candles and the tub.
“With the sight I’ve got right now, I’m certainly not complaining,” he grinned as he eyed me in my short robe.
I blushed and turned to face him. “So what’s up?” I asked expectantly.
