“I need you to make some kind of smartass comment like you would have in the past.”
He laughed. “I’m not going to comment on the two pieces of pizza you ate, after you ate half a stromboli—or the monster chocolate brownie you ate after the pizza and stromboli.”
I smiled. “It was a lot of food, wasn’t it?”
“Your body needs the energy. You’re growing a baby.”
With a slow shake of my head, I let out a soft laugh. “You’re taking this new friendship seriously.”
He reached for my hand and kissed the back of it. “I think we’ve moved on from friendship, Bry.”
I felt my cheeks blush. “Do you have to work tomorrow?”
“No,” he said with a wink. “I’m off the next few days, and I’ll be on the sidelines cheering for you in the Turkey Trot.”
My head drew back in surprise. “How did you know I’d be running in it?”
He grinned. “You run it every year, and you have since high school. Except for that one year when you and Aurora went to Montreal for a bachelorette party, I believe.”
I was so surprised that he knew I ran the Turkey Trot every year—and specifically knew the year I’d missed—that I was stunned into silence for a few moments. “How did you know that?”
He shrugged. “I paid attention to what you were doing. Some might call it stalking, but I wouldn’t go that far.”
Laughing, I grabbed his coat and pulled him to me. I kissed him and whispered, “Will you stay the night tonight?”
I watched as he swallowed hard, then nodded. “I can stay the night.”
Smiling, I replied, “Good.”
I took his hand in mine and walked up the steps to the front door. I unlocked it, and we stepped inside. The moment I turned the lights on and turned to ask if he wanted something to drink, Gavin pinned me against the door and kissed me. It wasn’t a soft and sweet kiss. It was a rough and passionate kiss. One that said he’d been wanting to do that all night.
Wrapping my arms around his neck, I got lost in the kiss. Gavin lifted me, and I wrapped my legs around his waist.
“My bedroom,” I panted. “Now.”
Gavin started up the steps to the second floor as if I weighed nothing.
“In a few months, that might be harder to do.”
He grinned and quickly made his way upstairs. Once we got up to the top of the steps, his mouth found mine again. In my room, he gently lay me on the bed, not once taking his mouth from mine.
When he finally moved his lips to kiss down my neck, I drew in a deep breath. “Make love to me, Gavin. Please.”
He lifted his head, and his eyes met mine. “You’re sure?”
On a sigh, I replied, “Oh yes. I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life.”
With a wicked grin, he pulled me up into a sitting position. He eased my sweater over my head and tossed it to the floor. Then he unclasped my bra with expert hands, slowly sliding it down my arms until it joined the sweater.
“Lie back and lift so I can get your pants off,” he said, even as he pinched one of my nipples, nearly driving me to orgasm right there.
I did as he said, and he pulled off my leggings along with my panties. I was completely naked on my bed. The way Gavin looked at me with such hungry eyes had me reaching down and slipping my hand between my legs. The ache was unbearable.
He took hold of my wrist and removed my hand, causing me to let out a whimper of protest. “Let me take care of that for you, angel.”
Spreading my legs, I watched as Gavin settled between them. My entire body heated when I felt him place a soft kiss on the inside of my thigh.
“Gavin,” I whispered as my hand went to his head. “Please.”
He didn’t wait a second longer. Burying his face between my legs, he licked and sucked as I writhed on the bed. My fists grabbed handfuls of my quilt, and I arched my back as the pleasure took over my body.
“Yes! God, don’t stop…”
And he didn’t. He slipped his fingers inside of me as he worked my clit until I was screaming out his name. When I finally came to my senses, I felt him get off the bed. He undressed quickly, and I rose up on my elbows to watch him. When he pushed his boxers down, I licked my lips.
“How did I forget so quickly how fucking big you are?”
He laughed quietly, then crawled over me as I lay back down. My hands explored every inch of his body I could reach as he settled between my legs.
“I don’t have a condom, Bry.”
One brow flew up as I said wryly, “Um, I don’t think we have to worry about that, Gavin.”
