came in and I had to take it.”
“You were in California for a long time though, right?”
He nodded. “Yeah. I wasn’t home often but that’s where I was stationed for the majority of my career.”
“Do you miss it?”
San Diego was beautiful, but bases were pretty much the same wherever you went. And the Navy had been his home, not a city. “I miss my men and I miss the structure, but I’m adaptable. A nomad, my mom always says.”
Zoe raised an eyebrow. “Your mom?”
“Well I wasn’t spawned.”
She snorted. “I just meant are your parents, or your mom, still alive?”
He nodded. “Yep. They run an alpaca farm in Missouri with two of my brothers. They’re starting to downsize this year, but I don’t know that they’ll ever give it up completely.”
“That’s pretty interesting. So how many brothers do you have?”
“Four total.” He loved all of them, but never could have stayed in Missouri. He’d wanted to see the world too much and the need to protect his country had been an almost inborn thing. There’d never been another option other than the military for him and he’d known it since he was a kid.
“Let me guess, you’re the oldest.”
He shook his head. “Middle child. What about you? Oldest?”
“Nope. Two older sisters and you know Vincent is the baby.”
Sawyer snorted at that. “I’m sure he loves being called that.”
A smile played on Zoe’s full lips and she shifted slightly against his lap. When she did, her hip brushed right over his erection—and she froze, her expression turning to one of surprise.
“You’re really surprised?” he murmured.
Her eyes grew heavy-lidded as she watched him. She shook her head and ran her tongue along her bottom lip, almost nervously as she set her coffee cup down.
He didn’t bother fighting his groan as he watched her moisten that full lip. “What are you thinking right now?” he whispered.
Her gaze narrowed on his mouth and she leaned forward, gently brushing her lips over his. “What do you think?”
Sawyer didn’t want to screw things up with Zoe by going too fast, but damn, the woman was making it impossible not to. When she playfully nipped his bottom lip between her teeth, he knew this was a battle he was going to lose because no way was he turning away from her. From this.
But he was going to take control of the situation. Wrapping his hands around her hips, he lifted her off him until she was sitting on the edge of the island. Her silky robe parted, revealing a light pink slip thing he was pretty sure was called a chemise. Her cheeks were flushed with arousal and he could see the outline of her hard nipples through her clothes.
Keeping his gaze on hers, he slowly slid a hand up her inner thigh. Her breath hitched, growing ragged, and he didn’t stop until he teased the edge of her panties.
He couldn’t see them yet, but his imagination was going wild as to what color they were. “I want to kiss you here,” he murmured, cupping her mound as he leaned in to cover her lips with his. Her legs spread under his hold and he shifted so that he was perfectly in between her thighs. The blinds in her kitchen were still closed, but plenty of natural light streamed in through the cracks in the slats, letting him see her every expression.
She nodded and made a moaning sound he felt all the way to his cock. Touching her was making him crazy. Last night had been a tease of what was to come and now he wanted to see all of her.
When he feathered kisses down her jaw, she arched her back, letting her robe fall farther open. He slid it all the way off, letting it glide to the countertop without a sound.
Her fingers trailed over his chest as he made his way down to her shoulders, nipping at her skin. Impatient to see her breasts again, he pushed the straps down, letting the silky covering pool around her waist.
He had to pull back just so he could stare. Dark brown nipples and perfect, pert breasts just a little more than
