“Um…in about an hour.”
Doubt clouded her face, and I wasn’t about to give her the chance to change her mind. “Gonna follow you back to work and wait until you’re done.”
“You’ll what?” She shook her head. “You don’t have to—”
“Sure as fuck do, baby girl,” I grunted, slipping my hand around her waist and slowly bringing her closer. “Need to make up for disappointing you.”
She quickly dropped her gaze to my chest, but not before I saw the hope flare in her pretty blue orbs and the corner of her mouth kick up. “Are you sure?” Then her head swiveled to the right when the engine of a motorcycle roared to life. “On your bike?”
I cupped her chin and brought her face back to mine. “Nah. Got a truck. And you’re worth the wait, baby girl.”
“Okay,” she whispered, her cheeks dusting with pink as she gave me a small smile.
“Truck is at my house, though,” I told her reluctantly. “It’s only a few minutes from here. Mind following me there first?”
Her eyes narrowed, and her nose wrinkled adorably. “Your house?”
“Yeah,” I replied, confused as to why that bothered her.
“I guess it’s convenient to live so close when you take women home.”
I wanted to smile when I realized what was bothering her, but I had a feeling it would just make her mad. I wasn’t gonna fuck up the second chance she was giving me. “Suppose it is,” I answered, stamping down a grin when irritation flared in her eyes. “Never taken a woman to my house, though, so I never thought about it.”
“Oh?” she chirped, looking much cheerier for a moment, then her expression fell again. “So you just hook up here at the clubhouse?”
I couldn’t hold back my laughter anymore. “Adorable,” I murmured with a shake of my head.
Nora glared at me. “I thought I told you—”
“Then stop being so fucking cute, and listen real good, baby girl.” I drew her in until our bodies were pressed together. “Never been a hookup kind of guy.”
“Oh?” she squeaked nervously, her cheeks blooming with red.
“Yeah, and while I do think you’re adorable sometimes, I also think you’re incredibly gorgeous.” Lowering my head, I inhaled her scent of coffee and cinnamon. When our lips were only centimeters apart, I whispered, “And jealousy looks real fucking sexy on you, baby girl.”
I didn’t give her time to react before I pressed my lips to hers. Her tiny gasp gave me the opening I needed to slip my tongue into her mouth. She tasted like coffee and cinnamon, which were quickly becoming my favorite smell and flavor. I wondered if it was a drink she had a lot or if she was simply that sweet. I had a feeling it was the latter, and I couldn’t wait to see if her pussy was just as delicious.
After a couple of minutes, I had to pull away before I lifted her by her round ass and took her to the nearest deserted room to find out.
“Damn. Could eat you for my next meal, but I need to make up for being a complete…blundering dunderhead?” I finished with a chuckle.
Nora shrugged, looking a little dazed, which made me feel smug satisfaction. “It seemed appropriate.”
I laughed again, then released her but kept her hand in mine. “You good with stopping at my place, then?”
“That’s fine unless we get a call. Then I’ll have to meet you at the company station.”
After giving her another quick kiss, I smiled. “Sounds like a plan.”
Glancing around, I spotted two prospects staring at us with their mouths hanging open. Probably because they’d never seen me with a woman who was clearly more than a friend. Or it could’ve been because they’d rarely seen me smile unless I was talking to a jury.
“You.” I pointed at the tall, gangly one. “Tell Prez I’m gonna push the meeting to tomorrow morning. And you”—I pointed at the shorter, even skinnier one—“go buy a bunch of pregnancy tests and give ’em to Wizard.”
His face screwed up, and he muttered, “Seriously?”
My eyes narrowed, and my expression hardened. “You questioning my orders, probie?”
“No,” he replied quickly. “Consider it done.”
I nodded, and my face softened when I turned back to Nora. She was staring at me, her blue eyes clouded, but I wasn’t sure what she was feeling.
“You okay?” I was a little worried that I’d scared her.
“Yeah…um…that was kind of…” Her skin flushed, her cheeks turning deep red, but she seemed to gather her courage before she blurted, “Hot.”
I tossed my head back and laughed heartily, then pulled her in for another quick, hard kiss. “Glad you think so, baby girl. Now, let’s go. Got some groveling to do so I can get some more of those sexy-as-fuck kisses.”
A dreamy smile formed on Nora’s gorgeous face. “I think you’ve earned a few,” she said with a giggle.
