Every time she rocks forward, I push up, and pretty soon we’re humping against one another without breaking the kiss. My hands have a mind of their own, and I don’t realize I’m pulling the cups of her bra down until she whimpers against my mouth.
“Let me touch you,” I whisper against her lips. Liv whimpers again as I gently pinch her nipple and her breath catches in her throat.
I’m about to ask her if I can taste them when there’s a pounding on my door. Liv immediately stops moving, but my hold on her is too tight for her to jump off my lap.
“They’ll go away,” I tell her, not giving a fuck who it is.
“Julius, I know you’re in there.”
I close my eyes and rest my forehead against hers. “It’s my idiot cousin.”
“Should I go?” She bites her bottom lip, and I can see her indecision.
“No!” It comes out a little louder than I intended, but I’m not ready for this night to end. “Sorry, let me get rid of him and then we can get back to this.”
I give her a quick kiss before reluctantly lifting her off me. When I stand up, I’m so fucking hard it’s obscene, so I grab a magazine off the table by the door and put it in front of my crotch. I jerk open the door just enough to see my cousin Troy standing there.
“What?” I snap because I’m out of patience.
“You don’t know how to answer your phone?” He waves his hand in front of me, and I realize I don’t even know where my phone is. I haven’t thought about it since Liv arrived. “I tried calling you a dozen times. There’s an emergency down at the old folks’ home. Someone blew the power box, and they need it fixed tonight.”
My shoulders sag with disappointment. I signed up on the city’s registry for volunteer emergency services. At the time I didn’t imagine getting a call while Liv was grinding on my cock.
“Give me five minutes,” I tell him, but then Logan tries to come inside. “Wait in the truck.”
“Why?” He looks around and then sees Liv’s truck next to mine. “Oh shit, is she here?”
I slam the door in his face before I turn around and look at the woman of my dreams. She’s on my couch in front of the firelight with freshly kissed lips.
It’s my literal fantasy come to life, and somehow I have to walk away from it.
Chapter Nine
LIV
My eyes keep wandering from the pages of my book over to where my phone is sitting on the coffee table. I haven’t been home long, so I don’t know why I think Julius would be texting me already. He’d asked me to let him know when I got home and was safely inside, which I did. His only response was when he put a heart on the text letting me know he got it. I mean, that’s way better than a thumbs up.
I toss my book on the table beside my phone and grab the remote. Almost as soon as I turn the television on, I turn it off. I can’t even pretend to concentrate on something else right now. I’m tempted to play one of those fake fires on the screen, but I know it won’t be the same as the one with Julius.
My sister and I live in an apartment over a set of offices near the center of town. The place is new and modern but on the smaller side. The walls are brick, and as much as I love being able to peek out the window and see everything in our little town or walk to a lot of places, it doesn’t beat the view Julius has. This apartment feels cold compared to his place. It would be a dream to wake up in that house every morning. Especially with Julius beside me.
At one point we had a working fireplace, but my sister sealed it off and placed a set of candles inside. She didn't say it out loud, but I know she closed it off because of me. She doesn’t trust me with fire after my one small accident. She’s never going to let me live that down.
Unable to sit still or stand the silence any longer, I put on music and make my way to the kitchen. Julius made me a yummy dinner tonight, so the least I can do is make him dessert. Especially since I was hoping I’d end up being the dessert tonight. With how things quickly progressed on the couch, I was sure that’s where we were headed.
Would he think it was weird if I showed up and dropped it off? He might ask me to come inside so we could finish what we started. My body is still humming with need and desire. I brush my fingers across my lips, remembering the feel of his pressed to mine. Julius is a big man with rough hands, but his kisses had been sweet and soft.
