Lucy was silent for a long time and I knew this meant she was trying to figure out how to say what was on her mind. “Do you think it was stupid of me to sleep with Dante?”
“At first I did, but it became obvious pretty quickly that you guys were more than a few stolen fucks.”
She laughed. “Thanks, I think.” Lucy laughed again. “It was stupid, and at first it was just that, but then it became more. And now we’re a family.”
“I’m happy for you, but this isn’t that. He refuses to tell me about himself.”
“No offense Toni, but since when do you need to know a guy to get a few orgasms from him?”
A fair question, since I had no problem with the hit it and quit it lifestyle. “When a man goes so far out of his way to make sure he doesn’t tell me anything about himself. It makes me suspicious, about him and his motives.”
“That’s something you’ll have to figure out for yourself, Toni.”
She was right, of course. “That’s not at all helpful, you know.”
Lucy laughed. “You want help? I say give him a chance, let him prove that he is or isn’t worthy of you before you decide.”
“You’re terrible at this,” I told her honestly. “It’s not that simple Lucy.”
“I never said it was simple or easy, did I? No, I did not. Nothing worth doing ever is.”
A knock sounded at the door and it didn’t take a genius to figure out who was on the other side. “Thanks for nothing, Luce.”
She laughed. “My pleasure. Let me know what happens next!”
“Yeah, yeah,” I groaned as I got off the bed and stood in front of the door, letting out a deep breath as I reached for the knob. “I’ll think about it,” I told Lucy before ending the call and tossing the phone on the bed. I inhaled deeply and exhaled as I squeezed the knob and twisted it. “Brady. What’s up?”
Without a word he took a step forward and cupped my face in his hands, gently, despite the fierce look in his blue eyes. He stared at me like he wanted to say something and my gaze was riveted to the soft, unsure movement of his lips as if he couldn’t quite find the words. A low grunt escaped and then his lips were on mine, soft to the touch but the kiss was hard and rough, commanding.
I submitted easier than I would have liked under his masterful kisses. They were all consuming and the swipe of his tongue so intoxicating that all I could do was hang on to him for dear life and hope I came out the other end unscathed.
Brady stepped forward, forcing me to step back again and again until the back of my legs were pressed against my bed.
And then I was falling.
In more ways than one.
Chapter 11
Brady
My hands and mouth were in absolute bliss as they roamed all over Toni’s curvaceous body. My hands slid up and down her waist and hips, molding over every mouthwatering dip while I devoured her mouth, down her jaw and neck until I found that fluttering pulse in her throat. She was delicious in every fucking way, and the more I tasted her, the stronger my desire for her grew.
I pulled back and looked down at her with a heated smile as I removed her shirt. “I have a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.” My tongue slid back and forth over the swells of flesh above the cups of her bra.
Toni arched into me with a low, guttural moan.
I found the little clasp between her cleavage and flicked it open, revealing creamy tits and dark pink nipples. “When I read, it’s usually historical mysteries, thrillers or biographies of historical figures.”
“History buff,” she moaned when I flicked my tongue over her hard nipple. “Hot.”
I smiled and gave her other nipple the same treatment, losing myself in the feel of her silky soft skin, the sweet taste of her and the sensual floral scent emanating from her heated flesh. “Tacos are my favorite food, but any type of pasta will do in a pinch,” I told her as I kissed the area between her breasts and then down her belly.
“Yes,” she moaned when my tongue dipped into her belly button.
“My birthday is the first day of Spring,” I revealed as I unfastened her jeans and tugged slowly on the zipper. “Lace is my new favorite fabric,” I growled when my gaze landed on pale pink lace panties. I yanked off her pants, a move that forced my body off of hers, and tossed them behind me. “Beautiful.”
“Fire sign,” she growled and turned onto her belly, revealing that the pale pink was a thong. “Unexpected.”
I leaned forward and sank my teeth into one fleshy cheek of her ass, which pulled a hiss from her lush mouth. I kneaded and massaged her ass as I kissed her from her lower back all the way up to her neck, pressing my body against her soft curves. “Hawaii is my favorite vacation spot.” I moved her hair aside and nibbled my way from her neck to her shoulder.
