For him to do me in.
I wanted to be wrecked. Destroyed. Rebuilt.
He obliged with a growl, taking my mouth in a possessive, mind-bending kiss.
One hand spread all the way across my back to yank me against the hard planes of his body, and the other gripped me by the base of my neck at my skull so he could angle me the direction he wanted me.
This kiss wasn’t careful the way the last had been.
This one was a ravaging.
A plundering.
His tongue stroking deep as I opened to him.
Need rolled up his throat and a whimper danced through mine,and I struggled to get closer, to rub myself against the hardness beneath his jeans that I could feel pressing at the thin material of my scrubs.
Normally, I would shrink and cower. Fold in on myself. Close my eyes and pretend I wasn’t there.
But I was just as famished as him.
Kissing and kissing him.
My hands rushed to touch him everywhere.
His back. His shoulders. His arms.
Raking down his chest and his abdomen.
“River.” I moaned it, this desperate sound that came from a place I didn’t know existed.
“I know, baby, I know. I’ve got?—”
We both froze when the sound of the garage door whirring open echoed through the house.
“Shit,” River hissed as he broke the kiss. Panting, he dropped his forehead to mine. “That will be Raven and Nolan. I shot her a text and asked her to pick him up from daycare for me.”
I struggled to get my bearings.
To come back down from wherever River had lifted me.
I swallowed hard, and River picked me up from around the waist and set me on my feet just as car doors were slamming. One second later, the interior door busted open to the sound of Nolan’s voice carrying, “Hey, yo, Daddy-O! I’m here. Did you miss me?”
He came barreling around the corner and into the kitchen, and he skidded to a stop when he saw me. It took all of one beat for his confusion to flash to a beaming smile.
A smile that speared through me and made the haggard breaths I was breathing grow thick with affection. “Miss Charleigh?! What are you even doing here?”
“Oh, well, I…” I stammered it.
Brilliant.
I couldn’t even speak.
Then a rush of self-consciousness came barreling through when Raven rounded the corner.
On a gasp, she halted in her tracks, and her dark eyes widened in surprise as she took us in.
My flushed skin and mussed hair and swollen lips. Not to mention River who was a vibrating ball of energy beside me.
