half an hour to make was well worth it. She runs into the living room and jumps on my lap. When she sees me smiling, she scowls and stops her wailing, her chest panting up and down. She slaps at my shoulder. âYouâre such an asshole!â
I wrap my arms around her and pull her against my chest. âYou deserved it.â
She smells so fuckinâ good, like strawberries and icing sugar. Her hair is still a little damp from the shower, and her skin is so soft and smooth. I bury my face in her neck. âYouâre a little shit you know, pushing me into the pool. No one else would get away with something like that.â
âI donât think I got away with it,â she murmurs, touching my cheek. âMy heart is still racing. You successfully scared the shit out of me.â
âGood,â I whisper gruffly, pulling back and looking her in the eye. âWhat are we doing today?â
âYouâre letting it go, just like that?â she asks, suspicion written all over her face. âOr do you have more spiders planted around the house?â
âIâm letting it go,â I say, tilting my head to the side. âAt least I think I am.â
She rolls her eyes and says, âWhat do you want to do today? Your choice.â
What I really want to do is spend the day inside her and spank her ass for the stunt she pulled, so really we should get out of this house before I do just that.
Last night Talon finally called me back, and I chewed him out for how he expects Shay to live. He said right now thereâs no other option since shitâs going down with his club, and she wonât be any safer there. I told him to get control of his MC,something he didnât appreciate, but what the fuck? Shay should have the Wild Men at her back, not be hidden away because they canât protect whatâs theirs. Youâd think having a cousin who is an MC president would have some perks, but apparently not with the Wild Men.
âMaybe we could go out for lunch, then go for a swim or something?â I suggest. âIâm guessing you didnât start breakfast.â
âYouâd be guessing right,â she grumbles, laying her head on my chest. âYouâre so comfortable.â
She places both her hands on my chest and slides them over my pecs, then down my abs.
âYou know Iâm sure we could find something fun and . . . energetic to do indoors,â she says, biting her lower lip and staring up at me with her bedroom eyes. I donât know whatâs changed from last night to now, but something has.
I lean forward and press my lips against hers, then say, âShay, I told Talon I wouldnât touch you. Are you going to make me a liar?â
She shuffles on my lap, letting me know she can feel my hardness. âHe doesnât have to know. Do you think I talk to my cousin about my sex life?â She pauses. âEven when I had one, I didnât.â
âIf he straight out asks me, Iâm not going to lie,â I warn her. I donât know what Talon will do to her that could be worse than what sheâs going through now. Iâm not scared of Talon, but I donât like to go against my word.
âThen donât,â she whispers, glancing down at my lips. âI donât want to be selfish, but I want you. Iâll worry about whatever comes later another day. This is me letting you know.â
She moves to slide off me but I grip her hips to keep her in her place.
âVinnieââ She opens her mouth to speak so I take the opportunity to kiss her. And I mean really kiss her. Moving my hands to cup her face, I kiss her deeply, savoring her taste, loving the way she feels pressed up against me. Her soft lips. Fuck.
She pushes her body into mine, rubbing herself against my throbbing cock. The world closes in on us as I finally get a proper taste of what I want, a forbidden taste, which makes it all
