“I can understand that. As long as you come back.”

“Will you miss me, Sparkles?”

She gives me a flat look. “For some reason.”

“You little…” I lunge, making Lottie squeal. She throws herself out of her chair and runs away from me. Her athleticism shouldn’t surprise me, given her proficiency in jiujitsu. I still catch up to her in only a few long strides, mentally thanking Jacob for giving me back the confidence to move how I used to. Her giggles make laughter bubble up my throat as I throw her onto the couch.

I yank her arms above her head, trapping her body under mine. “Tell me you’ll miss me.”

Mischief sparkles in her amber eyes. “No.”

I nip at her throat. “Say it.”

She shakes her head. I narrow my eyes at her. “Fine. Two can play at this game.”

I push off of the couch and help her stand. Suspicion lines her face, my manic grin giving her pause. Then I scoop her up over my shoulder, her gorgeous ass next to my face. Dinner will be cold since I turned everything off, but I couldn’t care less.

“Teddy!” Her laughter negates her admonishment. “Put me down.”

“No.” I slap her ass cheek and head straight for my bedroom. She gasps, squeezing her thighs together. I delight in that little tidbit of knowledge.

When I get to my room, I chuck Lottie onto the bed. She glares at me. “I am not a sack of potatoes you can just throw around.”

“No, you’re a smart-mouthed woman who’s about to learn who’s in charge around here.”

She smirks at me with condescension. “Good luck with that.”

I grab her ankle and yank her to the end of the bed. Her black leggings are on the floor in the blink of an eye, followed quickly by her T-shirt and underwear. Lottie is gorgeous no matter what she wears, but naked, she’s fucking glorious.

Taking my time, I lick up the inside of her thigh, using myteeth now and then to keep her on edge. The little bites on her flesh make her squirm the most. I have to hold her down to keep her still.

My tongue hits the crease between her thigh and core, and Lottie’s moan makes my cock beg to get in on the action.Get comfortable, brother, I’ve got a point to prove.

Instead of fusing my mouth to Lottie’s clit like I’m dying to, I skip over her center and work my way down her other leg. She lets out a whimper of frustration, and I relish it.

I start to tease her, my fingers sliding through her slick, wet heat. I still avoid her clit, circling her entrance as I continue my path across her thigh.

“Teddy,” she growls.

I lift my head. “Yes?”

She finally catches on to my teasing. “Fuck me. Right now.”

I nip the fleshy part of her thigh. “Naughty words for a naughty girl.” I tut.

“Please?”

I kiss her hip bone, then make my way down to her pussy. “That’s better, but I still need.”Kiss.“One.”Kiss.“More.”Kiss.“Thing.” My lips hover over her center.

“What?” she whimpers.

“Tell me you’ll miss me when I go to New York.” The demand comes out slightly more serious than I meant it to, and I find myself needing her words with every ounce of my being.

She leans up on her elbows, her eyes cataloging every inch of my face as she reads me like an open book. As much as I wish she couldn’t, she’s very good at it. “I’ll miss you more than I could ever tell you with words.”

I dive into her flesh, both to reward her and to hide my emotions. It’s too overwhelming to be this vulnerable with her. I’m not used to feeling this way about anyone. I don’t likebeing out of control, and Lottie is a hurricane set to tear down every wall I’ve carefully built over the years.

She cries out as my tongue invades every inch of her pussy. My fingers slide against her slick walls while I flick her clit with measured strokes before sucking it into my mouth. It’s like I detonated a bomb. She tightens around my fingers, making me wish it was my cock. I ride it out with her until her body finally relaxes back onto the mattress.
