“Yes!” she whispered.
“Nah,” I chuckled, popping a cream-covered strawberry into my mouth. “It’s not weird at all.”
With Jax gone, she had to drive me home, of course. We stopped at her place first, so she could shower and change. I showered too. With her, in fact.
That little act of water conservation had led to another fifteen minutes of frantic fucking, with Harper’s two-handed death-grip testing out the strength of her showerhead. Thankfully, it held.
“Is it weird for you?” I asked.
She shrugged again. “A little.”
“Why?”
Her eyes searched upward for a moment, as if the answer was floating somewhere near the ceiling. Eventually, she shrugged.
“Probably because I liked it so much.”
Her skin flushed, and her eyes flared wildly at the admission. She almost looked down, but didn’t.
“I liked it too,” I agreed, holding her gaze. “Way more than I realized I would.”
My assertion seemed to put her somewhat at ease. As if her debaucherous confession was somehow a tiny bit more normal.
“Look,” I grinned. “After missing out on you for so long, and then coming so close to having you again? I was willing to take you any way I could get you.”
“Oh you took me, alright,” she laughed. “More than a few times, too.”
“I sure did,” I agreed, searching her beautiful face. “And this time, I’m holding onto you.”
Now she did look away, letting her eyes fall into her lap. Harper flushed even redder than before. Even so, she didn’t refute me.
“I know Adrian’s coming back tomorrow night,” I said to her, “and you’ve got babies to watch. But if you’re free in the afternoon, I’ll stop in and check that subroutine that keeps locking up. You can show me the new patches. And we can talk more about your would-be competitor then, too.”
Harper looked up again, gratefully. “I’d like that.”
“Good. Everything needs to be perfect before you tie up your product, Harper. Then we can get you to market before anyone else.”
She was beaming now, happier than ever. But the look she gave me as she pointed her fork was fun and mischievous.
“You help me tie things up like you said, and you can tie me up,” she agreed. “Any way you want to.”
My dick jumped.
“Promise?”
She winked. “Oh, I promise.”
“Deal.”
We went back to breakfast, which we both ate ravenously. I should’ve been tired — even exhausted — but somehow I wasn’t, and I attributed that to Harper. Just being around her made me feel awake and alive. She was intelligent, funny, charmingly sarcastic, and had all the same interests I did. We shared love for the same books, the same movies, the same hobbies and everything.
And on top of all that, she was a sexual match for my seemingly endless libido; beautiful, sensual, and explosive in bed. I wanted to grab her, hold her, pull her against me. I wanted to kiss her until she realized all the same things I did: that the two of us were meant to be together; that she was mine, and I was hers.
I’d stayed awake late the past few nights, kicking myself for not having looked harder for her. But yet here she was, sitting across from me. Smiling. Laughing. Chomping on bacon. Weighing the pros and cons of a Unix vs. Linux operating system, in terms of open-source code and commercially-available upgrades.
Shit, she may as well have been talking dirty to me.
No, now that we’d found each other again, there was no way I was ever letting go. She’d have to pry me away like a face-hugger from the Alien universe.
