Page 92 of Twice as Tempting

After that, Zack and Damian let the ladies watch their movie, and given the hot sex scenes, they seemed to enjoy it too. When it was over, and both bowls of popcorn had been devoured, Damian let out a huge yawn.

“Boy, am I beat,” he said, stretching his arms overhead for added effect.

Kelly thumped him on the chest. “Don’t be rude. Maybe Zack and Emma want to stay for one more drink.”

But both had already stood up and were collecting their belongings. “That’s ok, Kell. It’s been a long day for us too, right, honey?” Emma said.

“I’m fine, but it’s obvious my little brother is trying to be the next lucky one, so we can leave,” Zack said.

“Classy,” Damian muttered.

Emma helped Kelly bring the dirty dishes into the kitchen, and when they were alone, she whispered, “Even though they interrupted, I still had fun, Kell. And even after I’m married, I still want to spend time with you.”

Kelly felt herself tear up, and she pulled Emma in for a tight hug. Of course, the men came around the corner right at that instant and stopped in their tracks.

“Not quite a pillow fight, but good enough,” Damian teased while Kelly glared at him over Emma’s shoulder.

The four of them walked toward the front door, where more hugs were exchanged, but not between the brothers. They chose to thump each other on the back a few times and called it good. Kelly and Damian stood in the doorway and waited until Zack and Emma were safely in their car before Kelly shut the door and turned on Damian.

“Uh-oh,” he said, well aware that he was in big trouble.

“I thought we had agreed that this was my night with Emma,” she began.

“Yes, but…”

“No buts, Damian. Even though you and I are together, I’m still going to want my girl time. A few hours. That’s all I asked for.”

Damian took a step toward her, but she scooted around him and started to walk away.

“Where are you going?” he asked.

His voice was strained with remorse or sexual tension, Kelly wasn’t sure which, but she was going to stretch out the torture just a touch longer. “To bed,” she said. “You said you were tired, remember?”

Kelly went into the bathroom and shut the door firmly behind her, and then she locked it for good measure. She took out her ponytail and brushed her hair until it shone. She heard rustling outside the door as she pulled down her sweatpants.

“Do you want me to leave?” Damian asked through the door.

“I’m still deciding,” she said before lifting her hoodie over her head and smoothing her hair back down.

“Would it help if I said I’m sorry?”

She turned on the faucet and squeezed toothpaste onto her toothbrush. “Maybe,” she said over the sound of the running water.

“I’m sorry. The next time you and Emma have girl time, I promise not to interrupt.”

Kelly finished brushing her teeth and wiped her mouth on the towel. “Ok.”

“Ok?” Damian repeated, obviously stunned that it had been that simple.

“Ok,” she said and yanked open the door.

Damian’s mouth dropped open, and Kelly heated while he drank in the sight of her. Under her sweats, she had purposely worn the red baby-doll lingerie set that Damian had picked out for her when they’d been Up North. It was the first night he had seen it on her, and as she suspected, it made quite the impression.

“Holy…”

“You like it?”

“Hell yeah.”

“But you haven’t even seen the back yet.”

Kelly watched his Adam’s apple bob as he swallowed hard, and then she slowly turned around to show him the back. When she turned back to face him, his eyes were ablaze, and he instantly reached for her.

“I thought you were tired,” she said, her voice demure, teasing.

“Suddenly I’m wide awake,” he said, and there was no mistaking the reason for his gruff voice this time.

She didn’t fight him when he picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. Instead, she wrapped her legs tightly around his waist and nipped his earlobe with her teeth. “I should punish you,” she whispered.

“Because I’ve been a bad boy?”

“Yes.” Let the games begin!
