“Noted.” I kiss her head and then throw the covers back, exposing our naked bodies. “After you.”
“You want me to go first so you can watch me walk to the bathroom naked, don’t you?”
“You say it like it’s a bad thing.”
She laughs and pushes at my chest as she sits up. “You’ve spent all night looking at my naked—Whoa.” She clamps a hand over her mouth, her eyes squeezing shut.
I’m up like a shot, concern tightening my muscles as she opens her eyes and swallows thickly.
“You okay?”
“Yeah, I…” She swallows again and nods. “Just feel a little weird suddenly.”
“Have a drink.” I reach to the bedside table to get the bottle of water there, but she’s on her feet, racing into the bathroom before I even turn back.
“Sophie?” I rush after her.
She’s hunched over the toilet bowl, retching into it as I walk inside the bathroom.
“No.” She holds up a hand toward me without lifting her head. “Out. This is not how this goes. We don’t know each other well enough for this yet. I don’t want you to see me getting sick.”
“That’s ridiculous.” I grab a robe that’s hanging on the back of the door and wrap it around her shoulders so that she’s covered. She can’t argue back because she’s already retching again. “Darling,” I murmur softly as I crouch beside her and gather her hair away from her face, holding it in one hand. “Do you think it was the rum and raisin ice-cream?”
She snorts. “Is there a joke coming about my flavor choice now?”
“Of course not.” I smile as I rub her back.
She sighs and lifts her head. “You don’t need to hold my hair.”
“Why? You’d rather I let go and you get sick in it?”
She grabs some toilet tissue from the holder and wipes her lips. “No.”
“Right then. Stop saying stupid shit and let me take care of you.” I let go of her hair when I’m sure she isn’t about to hurl again.
“Sophie.” My eyes drop to her lips, and I must be a goner for this woman, because the fact she’s just thrown up does nothing to stop the overwhelming urge I have to kiss her again. “We’ve got something good here. I want you. And I’m pretty sure you want me as well.”
She tuts, but it turns into an amused smile.
“What’s a bit of regurgitated rum and raisin between us? Besides…” I look into the bowl and frown. “Getting flushed is the best place for it.”
She shakes her head with a silent laugh. “Couldn’t resist, could you?”
I wink at her, and she rolls her eyes. It’s adorable. Big lawyer boss woman has made way for vulnerable Sophie for a moment.
“You know. I think I’ve found a new turn on.” I stroke my knuckles down her cheek.
“What’s that?”
“When you let me take care of you.”
We stare at each other. She searches my eyes, two small lines appearing between her brows like she’s looking for the joke. But I’m not joking. Taking care of Sophie Havers is like Viagra to my dick.
I lean forward and kiss her forehead. “You can’t handle it all yourself, Boss… Okay, you can,” I muse, knowingshe’s more than capable. “But I promise it’ll be more fun if you let me do it with you.”
I stand up, and the effect she’s having on my dick is plain to see, presented at almost perfect eye level for her.
Her eyes are on it as she talks, like she’s addressing it, instead of me. “Yourfunhas had me feeling like I ran a marathon last night. Fifty times,” she adds.
