Page 62 of Stuck with Me

I open my mouth to speak but then clamp it back shut. Typically, the one-line bangers come to me easily. But he’s got my head reeling. Is he trying to turn me on? Or is he trying to make things professional between us?

I decide I need to test him. Because I am Gigi’s granddaughter after all.

“I don’t really feel like playing anymore.”

He tilts his head and narrows his eyes at me. “What? Why not?”

Giving him a sly smile, I go on my tiptoes again and push the box back onto the shelf, but I take my time doing it.

“What the hell are you doing?” he growls.

“Putting the game back, what does it look like?” I glance at him over my shoulder, fluttering my lashes.

“It looks like you’re trying to tempt me with that perfectly round ass of yours, that’s what it fucking looks like.”

His eyes are dark, and razor focused on my backside.

I swallow past the lump of anticipation. “Don’t be ridiculous. Why would I do that? We have an arrangement.”

“Kit-Kat, if you don’t sit back down, I’m gonna push you against that bookshelf and take you from behind,” he barks, the twang in his voice more prominent.

I gasp. “Is that a threat, cowboy?”

“That’s a promise.”

Lowering myself back down to my flattened feet, I turn halfway. “How good are you on keeping your promises?”

“Pretty fucking good.”

My teeth sink into my lower lip.

“Are you going to sit down?”

I look at him, and I know there’s defiance blazing in my eyes. I shake my head slowly, confidently, as I wait for my punishment. I’m so eager for it, a shudder wracks my body.

“Turn around,” he demands.

My heart beats faster as I spin around and face the bookcase.

The heat from his body radiates as he draws near, his hot breath on my neck. “All this teasing is unfair. You know I can’t touch you.”

He’s right. What the hell was I thinking?

I feel the heat on my back with his attention on me. Feel his eyes scanning me, starting with my bare legs and working up my ass. When his body is suddenly pressed against my back, I suck in a breath. The anticipation causes me to pinch my eyes shut. I feel his massive erection thrust against my backside.

“You’re a little tease, woman,” he husks near the cuff of my ear, and I melt against his body.

“It’s so much fun,” I snort.

“Because we made an agreement, I’m gonna stick to that. I’m a man of my word. Even though this has been the worst case of blue balls I’ve ever experienced.

I exhale a light laugh.

He takes the game from my hand and as he reaches to put it back on the shelf, he grinds his cock against me. Just as I’m about to sayfuck the agreement, the shelf and everything on it comes toppling down. Nico loops an arm around my waist and hoists me backward with him just in time.

An array of board games and all their pieces scatter to the floor in a huge mess.
