She lets out a little meep before fixing her top. “You looking?”
I flash her a grin, drinking her in from the top of her head to the tips of her sneakers. She has on a pair of cutoff shorts that have her long legs looking delectable, along with her trusty Keds. “Always.”
Her face heats with color as I force myself to look away. I feel her gaze on me every few seconds, and it has me on edge. I have to keep looking forward, or I’ll enjoy the way she’s looking at me a little too much. If I’m wanting her to move in with me so I know she’s comfortable, I can’t go kissing her. That would make things a little sticky and maybe make her not want to stay with me. Or, she could like my kissing, move in to my house, and move right into my bed.
I’m literally bleeding from my mouth, yet I’m over here wanting Kenni in my bed.
I need help.
Or I need a hit of KenniLeigh Colburn.
When we reach my SUV that’s still running, Noelle looks back at us. She’s holding on to Big Seb despite the glares Sebastian is sending her. “Sorry to cut our visit short.”
Kenni waves her off. “No worries.”
Noelle wants to say more, but she only nods before looking at me. “Thanks, Dean.”
“Absolutely,” I say just as Sebastian shakes my hand. “Good seeing you, bud.”
“You too. Sorry about your mouth.”
I scoff, wiping it once more. “Hey, I’m impressed by how much of a punch he still packs.”
Sebastian laughs at that before rushing to catch up to Noelle and Big Seb. I go to ask Kenni where she parked, only to find her at the back of my SUV, opening the hatch.
“You can sit in the passenger seat. No need to sneak in my trunk again,” I call out, since she has done that before. I didn’t even know she and Missy were in the trunk until I pulled up to the campsite to meet my dad after he said they couldn’t go.
Kenni laughs as she comes back with a first aid kit. “No one can tell me where I can and can’t go anymore. I’m an adult.” She waggles her brows, and I laugh as she approaches me. “Sit.”
“I’m fine, KenniLeigh.”
She gives me a hard look, her little nose upturned at me. “Sit,” she demands once more, and I should be ashamed by how turned on her command makes me.
With a sigh, I sit down as she puts the case on my thighs and opens it. She’s focused on the contents of the kit as I drink her in. How her hair has fallen in sections from the big bun she has on the top of her head. She must have gotten some sun today because her skin is pink along her shoulders, nose, and cheeks. Her lips are bright red with gloss, and her lashes are thick and sooty. She sinks her top teeth into her bottom lip, and I can’t help but wish I could watch my cock move between those thick lips.
God, she looks so fucking pretty.
I swallow as she meets my gaze and flashes me a megawatt grin. “All right, be still.”
Before she can wipe at my mouth, I ask, “What were you doing here?”
She gives me a dark look, reminding me to stay still, and then she wipes to clean the cut along my bottom lip. It stings a bit, but it’s fine, especially when she blows on the sting. Her breath is warm, and she smells like Christmas. She must have had a latte of Noelle’s. “I had a meeting with Big Seb about the tree farm, and he was fine. Everything was good.”
“Yeah, it’s crazy how it comes on so fast.”
Her eyes are glossy as she nods. “I was meeting with Noelle. We were done, and I’d just put everything in the car when she suggested having a glass of wine. Then it all happened.”
I have to move to reduce the pressure in my pants. “It’s late to be having meetings.”
“I didn’t want to go back to the house,” she says, her brows pulling in.
She moves to gather something else, and I grab her wrist. “Want me to kick his ass?”
Kenni snorts before laughter bubbles out of her. “No, it’s fine.”
It doesn’t seem fine to me. She squirts some antibiotic ointment on her finger before spreading it along my lip. I watch her face, the way she holds her lip between her teeth. Unable to help myself, I say, “Just come stay with me. You’d have the whole house to yourself about 50% of the time.”
Her eyes cut up to mine, the blue orbs glowing in the darkness. “You want me as a roommate, Dean?”
Roommate? Fuck no.
But damn if I don’t love the way she says my name.
