Slater
Slater wasn’t sure how he was going to go to Rainey’s house and not end up begging her to let him spend the night. It was all he could think about since she dropped the kids off with Knox and Beck for the night. He hoped that it was a sign, but he didn’t want to push her for more than she was ready for. He wanted to take things slowly with Rainey. She was too important to him to fuck this all up. It had taken Slater weeks to get up the nerve to even ask her out and now, she was giving him a shot, he didn’t want to screw it up.
She had left her car over at her sister’s place and he had driven to the restaurant. Slater wasn’t sure what the protocol was here, but he liked his odds of being invited to stay the night. If nothing else, she’d need a ride back over to the penthouse to pick up her car and he’d get a goodnight kiss.
He pulled into her driveway and cut his engine. “You’re quiet again,” she chided. “Is something wrong?”
“No,” he lied. He was overthinking this whole evening and fucking things up, but he wouldn’t tell her that. “I was just thinking that your car is over at the penthouse. Did you want me to take you back for it now or wait until later?” he asked. Rainey leaned across the center console and brushed her lips over his. Slater’s whole body felt as though it went rigid, like a fucking teenager, and he wondered what the hell was wrong with him.
“How about you take me back for it in the morning?” she whispered against his lips.
“Rainey,” he breathed.
“I know that you think that you’re rushing me, Slater,” she said, “but, you’re not. I’ve already told you that I want you.”
“If I come in and spend the night with you, there will be no going back for me, Rain,” he said. “I don’t hop from bed to bed. That’s not my thing. If we do this—you’ll be mine.” He waited her out, loving the little shiver she gave when she realized just what he was saying.
“I’d like that,” she whispered back. “I’d like to be yours, Slater.”
“Fuck, Rainey,” he breathed. He got out of his truck and rounded the front, pulling her door open to help her out. He wasn’t sure that any of this was a good idea, but he didn’t give a fuck anymore. Once she said that she’d like to be his, his dick took over, and now, he was finally going to take what he wanted from Rainey.
Slater took her hand into his own and practically pulled her along with him to the front door. “Key?” he asked, holding his hand out. She put her key ring into his hand and smiled up at him, and damn it if that didn’t melt his heart even more. She was giving him so much more than her body. Rainey was giving him her trust and that meant everything to him.
He unlocked the door and tossed her keys onto the front entryway table. “Bedroom,” he said. What the hell was wrong with him? First, he seemed to be incapable of speaking and now, he could only form one-word responses.
“Upstairs and it’s the first door on the left,” she said. Rainey dropped her purse on the chair by the entryway table and kicked off her heels. He looked her over and picked her up, cradling her against his chest.
“Slater,” she said. “You can’t carry me up the stairs. I weigh too much.” She felt as though she weighed nothing at all to him. All he wanted to do was get her up to her bedroom, strip her bare and make her his, just like he promised.
“I can carry you upstairs and as for you weighing too much—that’s just not true Rain.” She wrapped her arms around his neck, cuddling in closer. He wasn’t sure if she was happy with his response or holding on for dear life. Slater made his way upstairs and found her room, lowering her back down his body at the foot of her bed.
Rainey was so fucking beautiful, and now, she was going to be his. “I feel as though I’ve waited forever for you, honey,” he whispered.
“Slater,” she breathed. “I feel the same way about you.” He pulled her into his arms, sealing his mouth over hers and when she sighed into his mouth, he took that as his sign to let his tongue dip in to find hers. Rainey moaned into his mouth and wrapped her arms around his neck. God, she was everything he expected and so much more.
He broke their kiss and she smiled up at him, “This is so much better than watching a movie, right?” she teased.
Slater laughed. “Yeah,” he agreed. He made quick work of her buttons, and when he got to the bottom of her blouse, he opened it to reveal her lacy bra, letting it slide down her arms to the floor. “You are so fucking sexy, Rain,” he whispered.
She brazenly worked his shirt up his body, not bothering with the buttons and he lifted his arms over his head, letting her tug it off. Rainey tossed his shirt to the floor with her own and ran her hands over his pecks and abs.
“You work out,” she said. “Now I feel like a slouch.”
“I do,” he admitted. “And you have no reason to feel like a slouch. I’m sure that chasing four kids around is more of a workout than I get every morning.”
She smiled and nodded. “They are a workout,” she agreed. He grabbed her ass and hauled her against his erection.
“You’re fucking perfect, Rain,” he assured.
“Thank you for saying that, Slater. My body isn’t the way that it used to be before kids,” she said. “I guess I shouldn’t compare myself to old me, but I just can’t help it sometimes. I have a lot more curves.”
“Well, I for one love your curves, honey,” he promised, squeezing her ass into his hands. She filled them perfectly. He liked that she seemed to fit him so well.
Rainey shamelessly rubbed herself against his cock and all he wanted to do was finish getting her naked and sink into her. He unbuttoned her jeans, helping to shimmy them down her long legs. She stood in front of him in just her lacy panty and bra set and he couldn’t seem to take his eyes off of her.
“Beautiful,” he breathed.
“Your turn,” she said. Her hands flew to his belt buckled and she slowly pulled it free from his pants, as soon as she got his fly down, her hands were inside his boxer briefs, stroking his cock and all he could do was moan and lean into her as if begging for more.
