“I want to do it.”
He held his hands up in defense for a brief moment before reaching to fondle my ass under my dress. Hmm... feeling his fingertips move up and down each cheek was messing with my senses... and my focus.
After getting rid of his shirt, I pushed him toward the couch. He sat on it, leaning back on his elbows, watching me with happy eyes. They were hooded with desire, and I knew he wasn’t going to let me explore him for too long.
Pushing him slightly back, I kissed a straight line from his neck to his navel, and then back up. Yum... all those muscles. I skimmed my fingers up and down his arms, smil
ing when I felt them flex.
“Laney,” he growled. I looked up and instinctively pressed my thighs together.
That heat in his eyes... goodness.
“Are you protesting, Mr. Winchester?” I teased.
“Warning.”
“Oh, really? What are you warning me about, exactly?”
“This.”
Before I realized what he was doing, he rose from the couch and lifted me with one arm, propping me against his shoulder in a fireman-style move like he had at the Colosseum.
I laughed, throwing my head back. “I’ve missed this. Reminds me of Rome.”
“We can go back any time you want, babe. The shopping center we’re building with Delimano is under construction already. I can use checking on it as an excuse for a trip to Italy.”
“I’d love that. And where did you learn to carry people like this?”
“I used to volunteer with the fire department in college.”
“I learn new things about you all the time.”
I was still laughing as he carried me to the bedroom.
“Hey, were you on one of those firemen calendars?” I asked.
“No.”
“Damn. Would’ve loved seeing that.”
Putting me back on my feet in front of the bed, he gazed at me with an amused smile.
“You got me in the flesh. No need for a poster.”
“Hmm... could’ve put it in my locker at the hospital. Give me something to feast my eyes on when I’m there.”
He wiggled his eyebrows. “As I said, I’m always happy to pay you visits during your night shifts.”
“Of course you are.”
He kissed me hard, skimming his hands down my body, unzipping my dress. He’d never gotten me naked so fast. In the brief moments after we pulled apart to regain our breaths, I worked on his lower body until he had no clothes on either.
I swallowed hard, taking him in. I couldn’t believe my luck and how much everything had changed. He’d seen every part of me and loved me fiercely.
I’d given myself to him completely, and I was just bursting with affection for him.
“What are you thinking about?” he asked.
