Alarm bells clang in my head at the word forever, but my desire overrules my caution. I can play casually, even with this crazy attraction between us. I push my concerns aside.
“I could be tempted to stay.” My words are pure insanity on my part because I know my heart isn’t free to be given—the empty husk that it is. But right now, he’s tempting me to do all sorts of crazy things.
“It’s late,” he says.
His words blindside me, drawing me out of the lust fog I’ve been residing in for the last while. Henry’s safe in bed with a reliable babysitter watching over him. I don’t have anywhere to be until much later than now.
“Not too late.”
“It’s after one…”
I shrug. “I don’t have anywhere to be. I don’t want to stop what we started.”
“Mmm… me either, doll,” he says, nipping at my lip before swooping in for a brief but sultry kiss.
“Then why are we stopping?” I ask breathlessly.
“Because what I want to do with you will take longer than the time we have this room for.”
My eyes widen, and my lips pop open. “Oh.”
“Yeah, oh,” he says with a cocky smile. “When we start, I don’t want to be limited by time restraints.”
I nod as if he’s making the most sense ever. What does he want to do with me that will take longer than the two hours we have this room for? Wild ideas run through my mind of everything we could do together. Time restraints suddenly seem like a terrible thing.
“Can you be here at nine tomorrow?” he asks.
Can I? I hate the idea of leaving Henry with a sitter two days in a row, but I’m quickly learning that I need what Axel has to offer worse than I previously thought.
“Yes. I’ll be here.”
“Good girl,” he growls, crushing his lips to mine in a soul-stealing kiss.
CHAPTERFOUR
Axel
I walkAddy to her car and kiss her goodbye. I mean for it to be a quick touching of lips, but I find myself lingering. She melts against my chest, lips parted so her tongue can dance along mine. With a groan, I pull away before I lose control and drag her back into the club. Stopping tonight wasn’t easy. My cock is an aching, angry beast behind my zipper. I want nothing more than to back her against her car and fuck her senseless, but that’s not what she’s asked for.
She wants a scene. A daddy to her babygirl and falling on her like a ravenous beast won’t give her that.
“Time to go, doll,” I say roughly. I tuck her hair behind her ear, then trail my fingers down her neck. Goosebumps cover her skin as she reacts to my touch.
“I could stay,” she says with a little pout, obviously not wanting our time together to end.
“If you don’t get your pretty little ass in the car, I’m going to fuck you against it for all to see.” My words are both a threat and a promise.
Her eyes dilate, and she licks her lips. The way she’s looking at me says she wouldn’t be against the idea. I know that’s just the lust talking, though.
Besides, I don’t want a simple fuck. Yes, me, Axel Walker, flirt and one-night stand king, want more than an uncomplicated night of pleasure. Don’t ask me how I know Addy is different from the other women who have come before her. She just is. From my very first glance in her direction, I knew that once would never be enough. So tonight, I’m sending her home, and tomorrow I will give us both what we need.
I open her car door and guide her into her seat. I lean in and brush my lips over her brow. “Drive safe, doll. Nine o’clock, don’t be late.”
“What happens if I’m late?”
I give her a feral smile. “I’ll take it out on that sexy ass,” I growl, my palm itching to spank her delectable bottom.
“That might encourage me to be late,” she says breathlessly.
