That makes his lips twitch with humor, and he points up to the sky. “Do you see that bright star?”
I look up, settling against him. “Sure.”
“It’s not actually a star. It’s Venus. It doesn’t wink like the other stars do, and it’s brighter.”
“Okay, show me in the telescope.”
I hop off of his lap, and, to my surprise, Ryan pulls glasses out of a little cubby where the iPad lives and slips them onto his face. Black-rimmed, they make him look even sexier than before, and I would have said that isn’t possible.
He taps the screen of the iPad, and the telescope begins to move.
“Have a look,” he says, gesturing toward the amazing machine.
I lean in and peek through the viewfinder and feel my breath catch. It’s yellowish, with brown stripes, and it glows.
“It’s hard to see Venus when it’s super dark,” Ryan explains. “Because it’s so close to us, and the sun is shining on it. So, during twilight, like right now, is the best time to look. Okay, back up.”
I do, and he taps the pad again, then nods for me to look once more.
“What is this?”
“Jupiter.” He’s quiet as I take it in. “It’s massive and beautiful. It would take just over a year to fly there.”
“That’s a long road trip,” I mutter and pull back to look up with my naked eye. “Can we see the Milky Way in this thing?”
“You can see the Milky Way without anything at all in about an hour,” he replies with a grin. “The show is just starting.”
“I didn’t even bring any popcorn.”
“If you want snacks, we can go get some and hunker down for a while. I can show you some amazing things.”
“Will you show me while naked?”
He pauses. Blinks. And I laugh.
“I’m kidding, although that would be fun. Maybe sometime when Jake’s not here.”
The next thing I know, my back is pressed to the side of the house, my legs are wrapped around Ryan’s waist, and his lips are on mine, hard and demanding.
“We’re going to see how quiet you can be,” he says against my ear.
“I’m not making any promises.”
CHAPTER EIGHT
RYAN
I’ve been trying to take things at a slower pace. It pissed me off that Polly thought that all I wanted from her was sex. She’s worth more than that.
But damn it, I want her. And by the way she’s clinging and reacting to me right now, I’d say that feeling is completely reciprocated.
“No sound.” I nibble on her lips and set her on her feet long enough to strip her jeans off of her, along with her panties, and I tickle her most intimate lips, satisfied that they’re already wet. “Fuck, you’re wet.”
“Your fault,” she breathes and whimpers in the back of her throat as I push one finger inside of her. “Oh, God, Ryan.”
“Shh.” I cover her mouth with mine again and easily lift her, brace her on the wall, and bury my face in her neck. “I love how small you are. I can just lift you, move you, or throw you wherever I want you.”
“Why do I have to be quiet but you don’t?”
