“I want you, Landry. I know you might suck, but I can’t let you go.”
“So, if I’m a horrible human being, you’ll just learn to love garbage?”
“Sure.”
“I don’t believe that.”
“You underestimate how much I want you.”
Landry frowns. “Why me?”
“You awoke something raw and powerful inside me,” I murmur, struggling with the urge to touch her bare skin. “I don’t want this feeling to end, even if I have to put up with a lot of shit to keep it.”
“But you deserve someone who isn’t a horrible human being.”
“Wait, I’m confused. Are you saying you miss Neal?”
“No. I’m saying you’re a catch.”
Smirking at her compliment, I admit, “Not really. I’m an asshole with rough friends and a dangerous job. I think the house is distracting you from the man desperate to touch you right now.”
“Your house is beautiful, but it’s not who freed me from Neal. It’s not why my kids were relaxed today. That’s you,” she says and then looks me over. “Why can’t you touch me?”
“It’s been one day.”
“For me, but not for you.”
“Good point.”
Landry’s chocolate-brown eyes study me. “I wish we met when I wasn’t pregnant.”
“Me, too.”
“Really?” she asks, cocking an eyebrow. “Because I’m half convinced you have a preggo fetish.”
I laugh at the thought of me being a weirdo for baby bumps. Once I chuckle myself out, I rest on my back and order my dick to remain chill. No reason to scare the sexy chick casually scooting closer.
“I’m not into pregnant chicks,” I say, turning my head to face Landry and finding her admiring my chest. “I’m into you.”
“Well, that’s good news. I won’t be pregnant forever.”
“And we’ll have fun once you’re not.”
“Wait, you want to wait that long?” she balks, leaning away from me. “That’s months away.”
“I’m a man of great conviction and self-control.”
Admiring me again, she murmurs, “Did you at least give yourself a little relief in the shower?”
Her soft voice strokes my skin, leaving my cock hard. “Don’t do that.”
“You show up at my house and say you want me to love you. Yet, whenever I hint how I want to fool around, you act offended by the very thought. I’m starting to feel like you’re a tease.”
Rolling to my side, I study her face. “Once I get my hands on you, I’ll fuck you something wild, Landry. You know that, right?”
Landry’s wide eyes hide nothing. I doubt she’s ever been fucked well. That’s good. I’ll give her something those fucks before me never could.
Thinking of anyone knowing her lips before me snaps my control. My hand cups her cheek, seeming too big and rough for her soft skin. Landry’s eyes warm under my touch.
