“Turn around, Brooklyn,” he said again.
I turned.
“Place your hands on the counter.”
When I’d done his bidding, he inched my underwear down to my ankles.
“Step out of them and spread your legs. Wider. Yes.”
He dropped to his knees and palmed my cheeks. His thumbs dipped into my crease and stretched me open.
I jumped.
“Easy.” His tongue licked my folds and my breath hitched. “You like that?”
“Hmmm.”
“God, I want to—”
The doorbell rang and we both froze.
“Who the fuck is here?” Slash growled.
I came crashing back into my body. “Shit. I totally forgot that I invited Willa to come over.”
Slash dropped his hands from my body and stood. “We’re not done.”
Damn right we aren’t done. We have shit to talk about.
I whirled, my eyes dipping down his body, staring at the bulge in his boxers. I shoved him in the direction of the bedroom and then leaned down to scoop up my discarded panties.
The doorbell rang again, and I called out. “Be there in a second!”
I ran to the bedroom and quickly pulled on a pair of sweats.
“Might want to add a sweater,” Slash said with a wink and then he sauntered toward the bathroom.
“Why would I—”
Hard nipples.
I threw on a purple cardigan and tromped out to the living room. I opened the door just as the timer beeped.
“Hold on!” I told Willa as I rushed to the oven. I grabbed a pair of mitts and pulled out the cookie sheet. “Voila, perfect bacon.”
“And no splatter.” She set her computer bag down on the couch. “I noticed a bike out front. Is Slash home?”
I nodded. “He wasn’t supposed to get in until later this morning, but he rode hard to make it back last night. Are you hungry? I’m making scrambled eggs.”
“We can reschedule,” she said. “I’m sure you want to spend time with him. He’s been gone a while.”
I actually wanted more time to gather my nerves before I clobbered him with hysterical feelings.
“It’s fine,” I assured her. “Stay.”
“In that case, yes, I love scrambled eggs.”
While the eggs were crackling in the pan, I got a few pieces of toast going. Slash wandered into the kitchen completely dressed as Willa devoured her plate of food.
