A side of his mouth ticked up. “And now?” One of his hands tugged gently at the blanket, lowering it so he could kiss a little lower. My left nipple, to be precise. Right through the T-shirt. He bit down gently.
“Now?” I asked, my voice breaking. I forgot the reason for the question.
He yanked the blanket down to the foot of the bed. And kissed a little lower, below the edge of his shirt. He pushed it up and moved between my legs. I shifted to let him.
“Now?” he asked again. His hands followed his mouth until they were doing very special and exciting things to very special and exciting places on my body.
“Now!” I yelled.
That night,after dashing through the Colonel’s backyard in Ty’s T-shirt, I found four messages on my phone. With Ty doing his caveman routine, I’d left my cell at home the night before. Standing in the kitchen, I listened to them. Kelly called first to hear about my date with Dex, which I’d completely forgotten about. While my mom told me about her day with the boys and asked me to call them back, I noticed the gnomes were missing. Hadn’t they been on the counter watching us have sex? Now where were they?
The last message was from Goldie to call her when I’d taken a break from sex with Ty. The gnomes were the least of my concern. I had to deal with a sex curious mother-in-law before I dealt with wandering gnomes.
I called Goldie. “Hi!” I said brightly. What did one say to someone when they knew you’d had sex? Lots and lots of sex.
“I knew it. I can hear it in your voice.”
I wedged the phone between my ear and my shoulder as I pulled the kitchen table back in place. I had a hot flash remembering how the table got moved. Could I ever eat there again without breaking into a hormone induced sweat?
“All I said was hello.”
“I know about these things,” she said sternly.
“I could have been having sex with Dex instead of Ty! He was the guy I went out with last night.”
“I hear the sass in your voice, but I’ll forgive you this once since you did good. I bet Ty was, too.” Goldie chuckled at her own pun. I rolled my eyes. “Of course, you wouldn’t have sex with Dex. You love Ty.”
I dropped the phone. It bounced off the kitchen table before I was able to grab it back up.
“Um, love?” I gurgled and plopped down into a kitchen chair, the wood cold on my butt. I wasn’t prepared for that. Sure, there was definitely something special between Ty and myself, but love? I just chalked the butterflies in my stomach up to lust.
“IlustTy.”
“Sure, you do. If I was thirty years younger, I’d lust Ty, too. Hell, I lust Ty at seventy.”
I smiled. I saw Ty cut through the back yard. I gave a little wave and felt those butterflies. Was that love?
Oh, my God.Why did Goldie always have to be right?
I was in love with Ty. I was in love with the man coming in my back door in rumpled shorts and a gray MSU T-shirt. No shoes and wearing the look of a man who’d had lots and lots of sex.Holy crap.
Thank goodness Goldie couldn’t see him now. I put my finger to my lips to keep him quiet. He came close and dropped a kiss on top of my head.
I smiled at him. A sappy smile of a woman in love. “Um. I’ve got to go.”
“I don’t want to keep you from ripping Ty’s clothes off,” Goldie said.
Not a bad idea,I thought as I eyed Ty’s body.
“But I just wanted to tell you I’ve got Veronica coming in tomorrow to help me out. She’s back from her trip to the Alamo and needs some extra shifts.”
I’d forgotten about work. Hell, I’d forgotten about everything except putting Tab A into Slot B with Ty.
“Thanks,” I said, meaning it. I ran my hand up under Ty’s T-shirt to feel the soft hair, his hot skin. Why couldn’t I get enough?
“By the way, do you know anything more about the dead guy in the pig pen?” Goldie asked.
Oh yeah, that. “Haven’t heard a thing. When I hear something, I’ll call you.”
