In the distance, I hear my name. It’s faint at first then it grows louder. I turn to see Eric sprinting across the airport.
My heart pounds in my chest like I’m the one running. “What are you doing?” I ask as soon as he stops in front of me.
He takes a deep breath and breaks into a grin. “I couldn’t leave. I’m in love with you, Atlas. I want you to be mine. Not just tonight but every day and night for the rest of your life.”
The hope I’ve been trying to hold at bay breaks through and I can’t help but smile, feeling like the world’s luckiest woman. “You love me.”
He wraps his hands around my hips and pulls me against him. “Damn right I do.”
I stare up into his deep brown gaze. I hope the love and happiness radiating on his face is reflected on mine. “Is this the part where you kiss me?”
He leans close to my ear. “This the part where I take you back to the hotel and pleasure you all night long.”
My knees feel weak at his words, and heat travels straight to my core. I imagine all the dirty things Eric could do to me tonight.
“Kiss her, dumb ass.”
I look around Eric to spot an older man. “Who is he?”
“A wise friend,” Eric answers before dropping his head to give me a kiss that leaves me breathless and borders on so inappropriate I’m surprised no one calls security.
“Do you want to get out of here?” He sets me back on my feet.
I nod, already needing him between my thighs again. “I have a limo.”
When I duck into the backseat, Katie grins at me from the rearview mirror. “You go, girl.”
I chuckle. “Thanks for the help, Robin.”
Eric opens the door, done with stowing his luggage in the trunk. He slides onto the seat next to me. Suddenly, the back feels a lot smaller with his bulky frame inside of it. His thigh rests against mine, sending delicious tingles throughout my body.
I give Katie my address even though she already knows it.
“I’m putting up the partition now. As a reminder, it is soundproof in the back.” She winks at us.
I blush, sure that my naughty thoughts are written across my face. “I owe you one.”
As soon as the partition is up, I’m in Eric’s lap, my thighs on either side of his. I grind against him. “I missed you.”
He cups my face. “You’re my home. Now and forever.”
I lean down and kiss him slowly, tenderly. The way I’ve always wanted to. “I love you. Now and forever.”
We spend the limo ride making out together. But it’s over much too soon when we arrive at my house.
“Come in with me,” I whisper, pressing my flushed face against his bare chest. I opened the buttons of his dress shirt because I had to touch him again, had to press kisses to his sculpted abs and listen to his harsh groans.
I can feel his hesitation, the way he wants to. So I wiggle against his lap, letting my softness brush his hardness through his slacks. “These events of his always run late. He won’t be home until the middle of the night, if then.”
Reaching for his shirt, I slowly button it again. Not that Katie won’t know exactly what we were doing in here. It smells of sweat and arousal and heavy breathing in the backseat.
He slips his hands from around my waist and leans forward to adjust my top. He yanked it down on the ride over so he could suck on my nipples and tease me again. Even though I didn’t think it was possible because we were already together tonight, I’m hungry again for him. For his body.
He follows me inside and I tug on his hand, bringing him inside of my bedroom.
I survey my space with the bubble gum pink walls and bright purple blankets, wondering what it looks like through his eyes.
“Let me change out of this.” I grab a few things from my antique white dresser and slip into the adjoining bathroom.
I dress quickly in a t-shirt and underwear. I decide against the pants, figuring they’re a waste of time anyway. There’s only one thing I want right now, and pants would definitely be in the way of that.
When I leave the bathroom, Eric is sitting on my bed. A Greek statute in the middle of a girly place. He looks up from what he’s reading, and I see he found my book for the security certification program I want to take in the next year.
He looks up and heat flares in his gaze as soon as he sees what I’m wearing. “Are you going for this?”
I shrug. “I want a job in the cyber security field when I graduate.”
“Based on what I’ve seen, you have the skills. I’d definitely hire you, Miss Karma.” He flips the book closed and pats the empty space beside himself.
