A simple kiss turns into something a lot hotter and heavier, just as I hear Clover walk in and say, “Oh look, free porn.”
Cara and I still and separate our lips, then turn our heads toward her at the same time. She has her phone out, of course, taking a photo of us.
“Felix won the bet—I shouldn’t have underestimated you both. How’s that friendship going for you?” She laughs, then disappears down the hallway, the musical sound following her.
Our eyes connect and hold, the tension heavy between us.
I can’t think straight when I’m around Cara—all I can see is her. The attraction is so strong and right now, I’d love nothing more than to take her back to my house to have my way with her.
Her phone rings, breaking the trance between us. She clears her throat and answers it.
“Hello?” She pauses as she listens. “Yes, their president, Temper, said for Arrow to call him, but they seem happy to help however they can. Okay. Love you too, Dad.” She hangs up and looks to me as she says, “Dad said for me to send him Temper’s number and he will touch base with him.”
“Okay.” I nod, still unable to drag my gaze from her. “I’ll send it to you.”
She peers down, her dark lashes contrasting against her fair skin. “Do you have to go back to work now?”
I shake my head. “Not right now, no. I have some stuff to do but I can do it later. Why?”
“Let’s go back to your house,” she decides, an uncertain look appearing on her face. “I mean, if you’d like to.”
“Are you kidding me? You read my mind,” I say, holding my hand out to her. She takes it and I bring it to my lips, placing a soft kiss there. “After almost losing you, it made me see things more clearly. I don’t give a fuck if the timing isn’t right. I don’t give a fuck about anything, except for you. If you want me, I’m here and I want to be with you. I hope you feel the same way or I’m going to look like a total dumbass right now, but it’s the truth.”
I know that I’m opening myself up to being vulnerable, and this is the first time I’ve done that with a woman. Cara could hurt me. She could decide she wants to be alone, or even reconnect with her ex. She could move away. She could, frankly, want nothing to do with me after we fuck a few times.
I don’t know how this is going to end, but I want to spend the time with her that I can have. I’d never regret that.
Her answer is to kiss me. “I don’t know what the hell we are doing, Decker, but I’m done overthinking it and worrying about it. I want you. Now take me home.”
She doesn’t have to tell me twice.
We’re almost at the front door, hand in hand, when Clover appears behind us and calls out, “Excuse me, you two lovebirds, are you forgetting that people are out to kidnap Cara? You can’t just leave without saying anything! Cara, I’m going to kill you.”
“There’s nowhere safer than with Decker,” Cara responds to her best friend. “He’s an ex-cop; he knows what he’s doing.”
I wonder if she knows how those words make me feel. Any man would love to hear his woman say that there’s no place safer than with him.
Nothing could make our chests puff out any more.
“I’ll have her home in a few hours,” I reply. Clover sighs, but agrees. “I won’t let anything happen to her.”
“Fine, go have dirty sex,” Clover calls out as we step outside. “But pay attention! They could already know where Decker lives, or they could have someone following you.”
“We know,” Cara replies.
Sometimes our baser needs trump all else.
Chapter Twenty-Two
Cara
I know we shouldn’t be here, but you know what? That makes it even better.
We don’t even make it to the bedroom. As soon as he parks his car in his driveway, it’s like an alarm goes off and we’re all over each other. He carries me with my legs around him to the front door and even pushes me back against the brick wall near the door, we’re kissing and teasing each other before we make it in. If we didn’t have people after us, I would have told him to just fuck me right then and there, at the front of the house.
That’s how much I want him.
We end up on the kitchen counter, me lying back on the edge, before we finally get to the bedroom.
