“I don’t,” I replied quickly.
“I don’t know where you’re at with this,” he said slowly. “But this is it for me. The end. I’m not gonna want anyone else. I want a life with you.”
I swallowed hard.
Dating had always been easy for me, and of course I’d always imagined I’d eventually find the one, and we’d just stay together and eventually get married. The normal progression. I hadn’t been actually looking for it, I’d just assumed that it would happen at some point.
I’d never imagined I would be sitting topless on a man’s lap, after having sex once months ago, discussing a future together like it was the most normal thing in the world. It made sense, though. If we were doing it, if we were actually going to be together, we had to be sure. If we weren’t, we could pull a whole lot of people into our eventual breakup, and that wasn’t fair to anyone.
It was especially not fair to Gray, who I knew didn’t have a ton of friends. If the people in our lives felt like they had to choose, I could leave him with no one. Not that I thought that would ever happen, he was a member of the club after all, and I was just a friend—but the possibility was there. The stakes were higher for him.
“You want a life with me,” I whispered, my breath catching.
“Gettin’ a front-row seat to all the crazy shit you pull would be a life well spent.”
My chest tightened so much it ached.
“Careful. You’re going to make me fall in love with you.”
“That’s the goal.”
Chapter 10
Gray
I wasn’t sure who leaned in first. Our mouths met somewhere in the middle. Frankie’s tongue slid along my bottom lip before thrusting into my mouth. I wasn’t any better. I held her head in place as I kissed her harder.
Holding back hadn’t been easy, but I refused to push her or go further than she was ready for. It’s why I’d pulled away in the hot spring. Why I hadn’t fucked her last night, even though I’d been so hard it hurt. I didn’t want to be a distraction from the problems she was dealing with.
When I left her in bed asleep that morning, I knew I’d done the right thing. She’d been so worn out that she hadn’t even noticed me leave. I’d been up for hours and had even left to pick up breakfast before she finally woke up.
I’d damn near swallowed my tongue when she’d unself-consciously stood up from the bed and walked toward me, her breasts swaying a little with the movement.
I didn’t think I’d ever get tired of her body, but it was the confidence in that walk that had taken me out at the knees. This was the woman I’d lost my head over. This brash, loud, take-no-prisoners woman.
Dropping my hands to grip her ass, I rose from the chair and carried her over to the bed. I dropped her onto it, and she laughed, her eyes bright. I froze for a second, taking her in. Just the knowledge that she didn’t have to go into work and face that fucker had lifted the weight off her shoulders. It was so obvious.
Reaching out, I gripped her shorts, and she lifted her hips to help me pull them off.
“Now yours,” she said huskily, folding her hands behind her head as she let one leg fall wide. The view was spectacular.
My mouth watered as I tore off my shirt and yanked at my jeans. The moment I’d shoved them off, Frankie was there, one hand wrapping around my cock, the other cradling my balls. I jerked. Shit, that felt good.
“On the bed,” she ordered, scooting back on her knees.
She let go of me only long enough for me to lay down on my back, then she was climbing on top of me, her ass resting on my chest as she bent and pulled me into her mouth.
My head fell back against the pillows as I hissed, reaching for her hips.
The suction on my cock was so strong that my hands shook as I pressed her forward a little, tilting her hips toward me. Her pussy peeked out, glossy and wet.
She rubbed her tongue across the head, paying attention to the tip, and I groaned, yanking her hips toward my face. My cock popped out of her mouth, and she let out a little sound of surprise as I positioned her over my lips.
She was a mixture of salty and sweet that I couldn’t get enough of, her pussy already weeping when I shoved my tongue inside her as far as I could. She fisted my cock as she ground down onto my face, and I shuddered as she leaned back down and pulled me back into her mouth. Pulling away, I gasped and found her clit with my tongue, pressing lightly and then harder as she sucked me deeper.
