“You can take him out and let him run around the house. Your roommates don’t mind, do they?”

There’s a pinching sensation in my chest. “No, but I thought you...”

“I don’t mind. They’re important to you, and you are important to me. Take him out.”

The pinching turns into a full-on squeeze. He’s got my heart in a vice, and my insides are melting. “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure. I l... like seeing you happy.” He stumbles over the words, ducking his head.

Beginner's Luck

Dev

I’m not sure whatI was going to say, but she’s looking up at me with those big blue eyes shining, and I’m starting to realize I would do anything for her. Even get used to the tiny creature that almost gave me a heart attack the first time I came over here.

“Really. It’s okay. He can deal.”

“He shouldn’t have to.”

That’s the smile I love. The one that takes over her face, spreading right to the corners of her eyes. She hops up onto her toes, flinging her arms around my neck, lips crashing with mine. It starts out sweet. Lips closed, hands pulling me down, but like a rising tide, heat washes through me, and I can’t help searching for more.

My hands go to her hips, kneading and yanking her in closer. My dick comes to life, jumping to attention. I need more.Closer. So, I slide down those lush hips over the round ass. She squeaks when I close my hands around it, pulling her up into my arms. Her legs fly around my hips, keeping me close. Our lips never part. Never come up for air. What started as a spark of thank you is turning into a raging fire. Everything she does sparks that flame, though. I can’t be around her without wanting to feel every inch of her naked skin against mine.

“You feel fucking amazing. Remind me why I ever leave the house?” I ask her, backing up until that incredible ass is hanging over her bed.

“Hurry up, guys. We need help in here.” I groan, reluctant to break the kiss.

“Ignore them,” she mumbles against my lips.

“Seriously, put your clothes back on and come out here. It’s Roomie Fun Night!” Blake is getting involved now. We’re screwed. Or maybe not so much.

“We should go out there.” I’m saying the words, but not releasing my grip on her ass.

“Do we have to?” She’s pouting now and I really want to take a bite out of that lower lip.

“I think so. They’re your roommates.”

“Right. Fine. Georgia won’t let it go. If we’re not out there in five, I’m sure she’ll be unscrewing the hinges on the door. She’s surprisingly handy like that.”

“Really?” Surprising, but then ghost girl seems full of surprises.

Her eyes are still locked on mine, hands wrapped around my neck. “Are you going to let me down?”

“I guess.”

“I mean, you could carry me out there like this, but then they’d definitely have something to mess with us about, and I don’t think we need to give them any more reasons to tease.”

“Fine. But this is not over.” It’s a promise I intend to keep. Like all my promises. Except the one. The most important one. The one where I told Beau I would never touch his sister. “Tonight, I’m going to lay you out on that bed and I’m going to drag my tongue over that sweet clit of yours. I’m going to enjoy my dessert until you’re so wet you barely feel it when I slide my hard cock into your pussy. And then, I’m going to fuck you so hard you’ll still feel me when you wake up in the morning. Or maybe you’ll still feel me in you, because I’ll be fucking you again.”

Then I release her, letting her slide down my body so she can feel every inch of me ready to keep my word.

She gasps. “The fuck, Dev. Don’t say shit like that to me, and then put me down. Now I have to go out there all red and flustered and help my roommates make dinner. Not fair.”

“All’s fair. I’m just giving you something to look forward to.”

She shivers as her feet hit the floor, then she shoves me. Her touch barely rocks me on my feet, and I smirk at her.
