Enzo bent down and grabbed a beer, placing it on the counter next to the glass. “I didn’t know you were a beer drinker.”
“I’m not. Well, if there’s nothing else, I won’t say no. I prefer wine or margaritas, but I keep it in the fridge for my cousins. They both love their craft beer.”
“How are Remy and Clemmy?” he asked, and it was stupid, but she appreciated him asking.
“Good. Clemmy just got a new job.”
“That’s great. Doing what?” He placed the glass of wine in front of her, and she happily accepted it.
“Personal assistant.” She went to take a sip and froze. Panic tugged at her gut. “I need to get my car.”
“I spoke with Reid. He promised he won’t give you a ticket, and he’ll check on it during his patrol.”
If Reid said it was okay, then she would believe him. If anyone would know it would be the local sheriff. “I guess it won’t hurt to leave it in the parking lot overnight.”
The muscles in her neck tightened, probably from trying to wince away the pain. She continued talking and rubbed at the tense muscle.
“What’s the matter?” Enzo asked.
“Nothing, just a little tension.”
He stood and walked over to her, placing his beer down beside her glass. His scent surrounded her, his breath a warm caress across the back of her neck. “Let me.”
His hands rested on her shoulders, and his fingers kneaded the taut skin. Her body laxed, tension slowly faded as she closed her eyes and sunk into Enzo’s touch.
A moan rumbled up her throat when he hit an especially tight spot. “How’s that feel?”
“So good.” He worked his strong fingers until she was practically crying out in bliss. She could only imagine what the fingers could do if they were to touch other parts of her body.
She bit her lip at the thought, moisture pooled between her legs, and she tilted her head, caressing her cheek against Enzo’s hand.
His fingers stilled, but for only a moment before they moved up her shoulder and onto her neck. The manly rough patches of his hands skimmed across her skin. Skin to skin she felt the warm blood flowing through him. He massaged a knot, and this time she did cry out as pain turned into pleasure.
He traced a line along the curve of her neck with one finger, sending chills up and down her spine. He teased her with soft circular caresses, building a roaring fire inside her that spread from her core to her chest and to her neck.
She laced her fingers through his, relishing the connection as sparks ignited. He grabbed her face at the same time she spun toward him. His lips came down on her in one quick sweep, capturing hers and claiming them.
His hands thrust into her hair, holding her close and angling her to deepen the kiss. Her lips parted, letting him in. His tongue rubbed against hers, his fingers trailing along her neck, and desire rippled through her spine.
A light sound escaped her throat, when his fingers slid lower and curled into the flesh of her ass. He tugged her closer to him, and she wrapped her legs around his waist. She cried out, ripping her mouth away as pain exploded in her ankle.
“Sorry,” she muttered through clenched teeth.
“Your ankle?”
She nodded. “Not exactly sexy.”
He framed her face with his hands and looked at her with those blue eyes. “You are always sexy.”
“Really?” Up until a week ago, other than their day to day interaction, Cami didn’t think he’d noticed her. She was his little sister’s best friend and nothing more.
“Really. You could be in a potato sack, and I would still think you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”
“You didn’t always see me that way. What changed?” She knew the minute things changed for her, but wanted to know what it was that changed for him.
He brushed a lock of hair behind her ear, his hand lingering near her lobe. “I finally allowed myself to see you, and I haven’t been able to stop since.”
A smile curved her lips, and she tossed her arms around his neck. “Good answer.”
