He scowled. “That’s ridiculous. I kissed you this morning?”
I sighed. “Just humor me.”
“It’s no shame to let people know you’re involved,” he grumbled as he pulled away from the curb. When Austin got to the corner of the lot, he put the car in park and grabbed me in his arms, pressing his mouth hard against mine. In seconds I was putty in his hands.
“I should tease you while we drive home,” he murmured against my lips.
“Why would you do that?”
“You’re a bad girl telling me I can’t show my affection. It’s been hours since I touched you, smelled you, or kissed you.”
Austin let me go and put the car in gear, driving out of the parking lot and onto the main road leading to the highway. He fiddled with the radio, which might be why he didn’t hear me at first. Or it could have been because I was whispering. “I love you.”
“Did you say something?”
He glanced over at me, and I repeated it, only louder. This time he reached over and shut the radio off.
“Say it again.”
“I love you.”
His jaw dropped slightly, and he stared at me.
I gently pushed his cheek with my hand. “Pay attention to the road.”
Austin’s eyes focused on the road. “You expect me to pay attention to the road when you drop a bomb like that? Why couldn’t you wait until we got home and were in bed.”
“I did say it in bed.”
He glanced at me. “When was this?”
“Last night.”
“Was I awake? I don’t remember it.”
“You were asleep.”
“You have to tell me these things when I’m awake; it’s only fair.”
He grinned widely, and I reached out to stroke his stubble. He took my hand in his and kissed the palm.
“You know how happy you make me, Sam? I haven’t been this happy in a long time.”
“Me neither. I love you, Austin.”
“Again.”
“I love you. I love you so much. Thank you.”
“You’re thanking me for what?”
“Being you.”
“That’s all I can be darling. Am I stopping by your house? You said you need clothes.”
“Yes, my house.”
He held the hand he kissed the entire way and pulled me into his arms when he parked in front of my door. I was hot for him, so hot.
