“Three fingers are always welcome.”

Hollis groans. “Let’s hope we make it past the front door.”

“I sort of hope we don’t.”

We hit the next red light, and Hollis taps agitatedly on the steering wheel.

I shift in my seat and slide my hands between my thighs. “I can’t wait to get you out of those clothes.”

He eyes me from the side. “What else can’t you wait for?”

“Mm... So many things. I’ve missed kissing you.”

“I’ve missed that, too.”

“And the feel of your mouth on me. God, I’m dying for your tongue between my thighs.”

He makes a deep noise in the back of his throat.

“And that sound. I want more of that.” I skim the back of his hand with my fingertips, and he groans again. “I love that so much.”

“What else do you want, Princess?”

“I want to be under you. I want the weight of you pressing me into the mattress, your hand on my throat, and your eyes on mine while you fuck me hard and slow.”

Hollis nearly misses the turn into the parking garage. The tires squeal as he makes the hard right. He barely has the car in park before he jams the release on his seat belt, spears his hands into my hair, and takes my mouth in a searing, bone-melting kiss.

When I reach for his belt buckle, he covers my hand with his. “As much as I want your hands on me, Roman is finally talking to me again, and being caught getting a handy in my car when we’re an elevator ride away from a bed seems unnecessary.”

“Fair.” I back off, and Hollis rearranges himself before we exit the vehicle. The elevator takes forever to arrive, but it’s empty, so he backs me into the corner. “I can’t wait to get my hands all over you,” he murmurs as he kisses a path up my neck.

The elevator dings, and he puts distance between us as the doors slide open. Which is good because my dad is in the hall, holding a giant gift bag with the word Congratulations written across the front in cursive.

“Oh, hey. I tried to drop this off, but you obviously weren’t there, and the safety latch was on, so I guess Rix and Tristan are.”

“That’s a safe bet.”

He nods, and his gaze shifts between me and Hollis. “I thought you’d want to celebrate a little, but uh…maybe later?”

My heart squeezes. He’s really trying. Do I want to celebrate by getting naked? Yes. But I want to help repair my dad’s relationship with Hollis first.

“I was supposed to meet the girls at the Watering Hole in a couple of hours, but we could head over now?” I suggest.

“I don’t want to interfere with whatever plans you’ve made.” He looks so unsure of himself, and sad.

“You’re not interfering, Dado. This is a big deal and a big day. I want you to be part of it. We both do.” I squeeze Hollis’s hand.

“Come on, Roman.” Hollis pulls my dad into the elevator with us.

I hit the button for the lobby and send a group message about the slight change in plans.

When we step out of the elevator, Hollis laces my fingers with his, and we walk down the street together. We grab our favorite table, but instead of sliding into the seat beside my dad, Hollis takes the spot beside me and stretches his arm across the back of my chair. Our regular server pops by, and Hollis orders me a martini the way I like it and beers for him and my dad.

Dad looks between us. “You picked Aurora up from her exam?” He’s started calling me Aurora recently. I’m not a hundred percent sure I want him to anymore. I don’t feel like I’m fighting to be seen as an adult the way I used to.

“I did,” Hollis says.

My mouth is suddenly dry. I’m not sure where this is going.
