Kade knew that the right thing to do would be to release her arm, secure his towel, and hightail it to his room. Unfortunately, he wasn’t really known for doing the right thing, especially when wrong felt this good. He couldn’t bring himself to let her go. He needed one more moment, one more second, of this intimate contact.
He swallowed over a lump that had formed in his throat as he rasped, “My towel slipped and if you move back, you’re going to see a lot more of me than you bargained for.”
“A lot, huh?” A shy grin lifted on her cherry lips as her fingers tightened ever so subtly, her nails dug into his skin as her body rocked into him and the sensation shot straight to his cock. His balls tightened against his body as his erection strained against the terrycloth barrier. “I would make a joke about your ego, but in this case, I can feel that your big head is justified.”
Fuck.He inwardly groaned as he forced himself to release his hold on her and grab his towel as he took a step back from her. If he’d held her for even a second more, he would’ve lowered his head and covered her pretty little mouth with his.
When he let her go, she stumbled back and used the wall behind her to steady herself. He was about to apologize for his abrupt behavior when he saw her eyes fly down to the towel tent he was rocking and she licked her lips. He was sure it was just a nervous gesture and not meant to entice him even more, but that’s exactly what it did.
“Aunt Ali!” KJ’s voice carried up from downstairs.
Kade watched as Ali blinked and looked up at him, her whiskey-colored stare clouded with what he hoped was lust and not embarrassment.
“Can we ride down to the lake? We’ll be back by midnight.”
That snapped her out of whatever haze she’d been in. She started shaking her head no as she walked away from Kade and started addressing her nephew. “No, KJ. It’s already after eleven. You know the rules.”
“But it’s my birthday.” He heard the kid plead as she disappeared down the stairs.
“No. Your birthday was two weeks ago. Today was your party, but that doesn’t change the rules.”
Kade wanted to go back her up but they hadn’t really talked about what his role would be and he didn’t want to overstep. Plus, he was still very affected by their encounter.
A thought hit him as he crossed the hallway to the spare room. What if the boys had been upstairs and seen his reaction? If he stayed here any longer, he was afraid it would be inevitable.
He needed to call Kennedy. He needed to get his own place. He needed to stop popping wood like a teenager who’d never seen boobs before.
That last one would be a lot easier said than done if Ali was within a square mile of him. Maybe he would look for a place on the other side of the lake.
