serious conversation about how you treat a woman after you’ve spent a night worshipping her body.
The existing playroom door was closed so none of the kids would wander in there. She opened the door at the same time Wyatt did.
He looked down at her. Frowned.
“Everyone gone?” he asked.
“Yes.”
“About time.” He moved her out of the room, away from the wind coming in from the addition, and closed the door. He backed her against the hallway wall and pressed his body to hers. “I’ve been waiting all damn day for this.”
He slammed his mouth down on hers, obliterating all the righteous anger she’d worked up since he’d left her house yesterday. The kiss was dark and passionate and needy and made heat coil low in her belly. She melted against him, but then laid her palms on his chest and gave him a gentle push.
He drew back, his lips moist from their kiss. She wanted to grab his hair and pull him back, but she resisted.
“What was that all about?” she asked.
“The kiss?”
“Yes.”
His gaze drifted to her mouth. “I’ve been thinking about it all day. Yesterday, too.”
“You could have been with me yesterday, instead of sneaking out of my house while I was still asleep.”
“Yeah, about that. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have left like that. It was stupid and inconsiderate. And I should have called, but once I left I felt like an ass, so I just…didn’t.”
This was new. An apology? “Okay.”
He palmed the wall next to her head. “Look, Calliope. I’m not very good at this.”
“This?”
“Relationships. Women. Dealing with them. I’ll try to do better, but I’m probably not going to be good at it. You should know that going in, so you can change your mind if you want.”
Her lips curved. As an apology, it kind of sucked, but it was honest. She couldn’t ask for more. “It’s okay, Wyatt. I understand.”
He cocked a brow. “That’s it? I’m forgiven?”
“That’s it.”
“You’re too easy.”
She laughed. “Not the best thing to say to a woman.”
He laid his forehead against hers. “Shit. I told you I wasn’t good at this.”
She framed his face with her hands. “No, you aren’t, but if you’re honest with me, I can deal with everything else. Besides, you’re a great kisser, and that forgives a lot of sins.”
“Yeah?” He leaned in closer, grabbed the loops on her jeans and directed her toward her office.
When they got in there, he pushed her against the wall again, pulled off her glasses and tucked them in his pocket.
She might be old-fashioned, but she had to admit she dug his caveman moves.
“Oh, yeah.”
He brushed his lips across hers, his breath a warm caress as he teased his tongue along her bottom lip, then went in for the kill, sliding his arm around her to draw her against him. He brought his mouth full force against hers, and kissed her until she forgot all about yesterday. All she thought of was right now, and the fact they were alone and the door was firmly locked.
And when he dropped to the floor, pulling her on top of him, she went willingly, eager to pick up where they’d left off the night before.
“This is kind of wicked,” she said as he swept her hair away from her face.
“Never done it at work before?”
She snorted. “I work at a day care center. I don’t get many hot guys hitting on me here.”
He popped the button on her jeans and drew the zipper down. “That’s too bad. They should be lining up at the door.”
Now he was making up for fumbling his words earlier. She felt warm all over, though maybe that was due to him rolling her over and touching her. He took off her tennis shoes and slid her jeans and panties down her legs.
By the time he’d removed her sweatshirt and bra, and gotten rid of his own clothes, she started to giggle. He frowned at her.
“This is no laughing matter,” he said.
“I’ve never been naked at work before.”
He grabbed a condom from the pocket of his jeans. “You should
