“I hear those things are always looking for a way in.”
“Damn right. And if my boys are going to get in there, I plan to at least enjoy putting them there.”
“I guess we need to talk about what we plan to do when you put your boys in there. I’m not on any kind of birth control.”
Time is closing in. It’s time to decide about this. “What are your feelings about it?”
“I’ve researched it, and I think the pill is a good choice.”
Why am I not surprised she’s been researching this topic? “Then you know it’s a good choice as long as you remember to take it every day at the same time.”
“I’m responsible enough to be in control.”
Claudia is mature. Always has been. I trust her with this. “I agree the pill is a good idea.”
“I’ll make an appointment first thing next week.”
I’ve been honest with Claudia about my thoughtlessness regarding past sexual partners, but she needs to understand that I never took chances. She won’t be putting her health at risk by being with me. “I’m clean. I wore a condom every time, but I had an incident with one breaking about two years ago. I tested negative afterward. No disease. No baby. No problem.”
“Whoa… okay.”
“I know my past isn’t what you want to talk about right now, but I needed to tell you. It’s important that you feel safe with me.”
“I always feel safe with you. I know you’d never put me in danger… not even for a little bit of booty.”
I reach behind her and dig my fingertips into her cheeks. “I plan on getting more than just a little bit of this booty.”
She puts her arms around my shoulders and pulls me down so I’m lying between her legs. “Do you want to use condoms with me?”
I’ve never considered forgoing protection with anyone—not once—but I would with Claudia. “You’d let me be inside you bare?”
“Honestly, it’s hard for me to imagine making love with latex between us.”
Another first. This time a first for both of us. “Of course, I want to.”
I bring her hand to my mouth for a kiss and catch a whiff of my musky fragrance,my brand, mixed with hers on her fingers. And damn if it doesn’t make my dick get hard all over again. “Mmm… the smell of you and I mixed together. There’s nothing else in the world like it.”
I close my hand around hers and bring it to my nose, inhaling deeply. The scent of a woman. Not just any woman.My woman. “I love that smell.”
And so does my dick since it’s at full attention poking Claudia in the inner thigh. “I can help you with that.”
I intercept her hand as it goes for my cock and intertwine our fingers. I don’t say anything this time. I simply shake my head.
She gives me her pouty face, the same one she’s used on me since she was four years old anytime she wanted her way.I’ve always been indulgent when it comes to Claud. Always letting her have her way. Not this time.
“Will you let me stay with you for a little while? I promise I won’t try to tempt you into sex. I just want to enjoy being like this.”
“Where do Staci and Shane think you are?”
“Hanging out with my friends.”
“I don’t think it’s a good idea. The shit would hit the fan if Owen figured out you were in here.”
“He’s down for the count. So is River.”
They took a lot of shots. I don’t think they’ll be awake before noon unless it’s to piss or puke.
“Come on, Duke. Let me stay.” Always persistent to get her way.
