She bursts out laughing, which is what I wanted. “Aren’t you supposed to say that your dick is gonna get smaller?”
“No. Why would I ever say that? Obviously, you are going to adjust, and by that, I mean I’ll be around so much, you won’t remember what life was like when I wasn’t part of it. I’ll be around so often you’ll be sick of me.”
Her face remains skeptical. I squeeze her hand. “You don’t have to be sure of me today, tomorrow, or, hell, even fifty years from now. I’m just gonna be there, wherever you are. That’s my place in this world. Next to you.”
CHAPTER 20
MORGAN
“Babe, you told me I couldn’t let you go back to sleep,” Eros reminds me.
I woke to his mouth between my legs giving me an amazing orgasm. After he’d made me come for him, he flipped me over and pulled my ass into the air and had his way with me before making me come again with him. I’d melted back into the bed, ready to go back to sleep.
“I don’t wanna,” I complain. A furry face nudges against mine, and I open my eyes to see Gremlin wanting some pets. I can’t resist. I scratch the top of his head before I move to under his chin.
“I see how it is. You have no problem waking up for him?” Eros kisses the side of my neck from behind. I’m lying on my side.
“Jealous?” I tease.
“When it comes to you, always.” He gives me another kiss. “But I swore I’d make sure you were out the door by ten.”
“Do I smell bacon?” I perk up.
“I might have made breakfast, but you’d have to get out of bed to find out.”
“I thought men wanted their women in their bed,” I huff, pretending to be annoyed. I’m not. The only thing I’m mad about is having to get up. For the past five days, I’ve been held up in Eros’ place. I’m shocked he hasn’t kicked me out yet.
I didn’t realize how messy I was until I didn’t have a cleaning crew on staff or neat freak Blake as my roommate to pick up after me. I’m noticing a few things about myself that even annoy me, but Eros never says a peep. He merely picks up my clothes that I leave lying around or my purse that is usually dumped out on the coffee table because I was trying to find something.
“If I could tie you to this bed, I would, but your grams is a powerful person. She’d likely hire a mercenary crew to blow in my front door to find you.”
“I wouldn't be so sure about that,” I mutter, making myself get out of the bed. Grams is so team Eros. It’s why she hasn't said a peep about me not having been home for a while. Eros offers me his hand. I take it. He pulls me into his arms and kisses me sweetly. He lets out a groan, stepping back.
“Go or you’ll make me a man not of my word.” He turns me toward the bathroom and gives my ass a smack.
“Hey!” I shout but get moving.
“You enjoy it,” I hear him say from behind me. He’s right. I do. I find when it’s only Eros and me, him bossing me around is a turn-on. I think because I know he’s not only a good man but whatever he’s doing is always guiding me toward something I want. Each day I spend with him only has me relaxing more and more.
It’s scary, and I know I’m past the point of no return when it comes to him. No I love yous have been said, but I’m pretty sure I’m there. There is no point in running from him. I’d be brokenhearted either way. So here I am trying to appear like I’m not turning into a stage five clinger.
Quickly, I get myself together, even putting on some makeup and doing my hair. I stare at the mess I’ve left on the bathroom counter.
“I’ll get it later,” Eros says, suddenly popping up behind me.
“I’ll clean up when I get back tonight.”
“Don’t worry about it. I want you to eat because I’m guessing you won’t eat again until dinner.” He grabs my hand, leading me out to the kitchen, where he’s made me a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. A mug full of coffee sits next to it.
“Maybe we should reschedule the dinner?”
“I’m not hiding from your parents.”
“You’re a hermit by nature. I read about it online. Now all of a sudden you want to go out to dinner at some fancy restaurant?” Eros hadn’t given two shits that our relationship was leaked on some gossip blog. In fact, he grunted and said good. I hid the thrill I’d gotten over him wanting everyone to know I was his girl.
