“That you weren’t in jail.”
She grinned and pulled out a seat next to him. “Well, there is that. I can’t believe you’re still here.”
He lifted an eyebrow. “You’re really surprised?”
“Yeah. I was clearly not able to, you know…” Her cheeks flushed prettily as she trailed off and raised her cup to her mouth.
A mouth he’d had plenty of fantasies about before he’d finally dozed off in her guest room. There’d been no way he could have left her last night, not after everything she’d been through.
“Thanks for tucking me in last night. That was sweet.” Before he could respond her eyes widened and she softly groaned. “Does Vincent know you stayed over?”
Sawyer stilled at her question. Her brother was the last person he wanted to think about right now. “Would it matter if he did?”
“No. Not for the reason you’re thinking. Or I think you’re thinking. Gah, I need more coffee.” Glancing down, she took great interest in focusing on her drink.
Nope, he was having none of that. Reaching out, he snagged an arm around her waist and tugged her onto his lap. She let out a yelp of surprise, but moved willingly, settling across his thighs as she turned to face him.
“I just don’t want to explain to my brother about whatever is happening between us. I’m a grown woman, but he’s still my brother. And you two have a history.”
As long as she didn’t want to hide him. “Fair enough. Why were you surprised I was still here?”
Her cheeks flushed again and he had to bite back a groan. Seeing her like that brought up thoughts of what she’d look like naked, face and body flushed from pleasure. “I just thought, well, you know.”
“That I’d bail because we didn’t fu—end up in bed together?” He was used to talking bluntly, but he didn’t like the thought of what he and Zoe would hopefully share soon as simple fucking.
“Yeah?” She lifted her shoulders slightly.
His jaw tightened but he didn’t respond. They didn’t know each other well enough for him to be annoyed about her assumption, even if it rankled him. “Go out to dinner with me tonight?”
She blinked, probably from the sudden change in subject, but nodded, smiling softly. “I’d like that. And, not that I don’t like this position but, if you get between me and my coffee this early in the morning, we might have words,” she murmured, reaching out to grab her mug.
“Duly noted.” His lips twitched as she took another sip of the hot drink then let out an orgasmic-sounding sigh. He couldn’t believe she woke up looking so fucking sexy. Her hair was wild and curly even though she’d tried to tame it back into some sort of clip thing. It didn’t matter, the corkscrews bounced everywhere. Visions played in his mind of what it would be like to see her hair around her face and shoulders as she rode him, her back arched and her breasts bared for him to hold, kiss, lick.
“So how did you end up working for Red Stone?” she asked after another sip followed up with one of those sexy sighs.
God, those sounds were making him hard. He shifted uncomfortably, hoping she didn’t notice. He’d always been in control of his body. Except around her apparently. “It was sort of a perfect storm of things. I’d hit my twenty year mark in the Navy—”
“Twenty?” Her eyes widened then she winced. “Sorry, didn’t mean to interrupt.”
“Interrupt all you want,” he murmured, tightening his grip around her. “And yes, twenty. I joined when I was seventeen so I’m thirty-seven, if that’s your way of asking.”
“I wasn’t, but I was curious. So, it was a perfect storm…”
He grinned, loving the feel of her sitting on his lap, in his arms. This light banter with a woman was new territory for him. It had been years since he’d been in a relationship and even then, his last one had been all physical, something he hadn’t realized until too late. “It was just one of those things. The job offer
