My fingers tangle in her hair as I angle the kiss for better access and gently pull. My other hand softly cups her breasts through her shirt and I feel her hardened nipples. I pull her shirt up until her perky breasts are revealed. Dipping down I pull her peak into my mouth; she moans my name.

A surge of possessiveness blasts through me. She’s mine, and I want to claim her. It’s been too long.

Dingdong.

My head whips to the door, and I think I might have actually growled.

“Easy there tiger.” Sadie soothes from underneath me. “It’s our dinner, and as much as I was thoroughly enjoying your mouth, I’m hungry. Raincheck?”

Sitting up, I pull her with me. “Raincheck.” I murmur, disappointed.

A few minutes later, Sadie’s back with plates and silverware along with our food ready to dig in.

Eyeing the small amount on my plate, she laughs. “Oh, that’s all for you. I can’t do spicy so eat up.”

We sit and watch a show calledChoppedwhile eating our Chinese, and it amazes me what the chefs can cook in the short amount of time they’re given, and with such strange ingredients. If it was me, I would’ve taken the entire time coming up with an idea.

In the distance, Sadie’s home phone rings, I watch her as she looks over her shoulder at the sound.

“Do you need to get that?”

“No,” she shakes her head. “I wish I didn’t need a home phone for my security. Looks like I’m going to have to change both my numbers. Again.” Her mouth’s in a thin line as she stares at the cooking show.

Why would she need to change her numbers? Did she meet some dude, and he won’t leave her alone now? She’s had to do it more than once?

Turning toward her with drawn brows, I can’t hide my apprehension. “Can I ask?”

“Of course, you can ask. I’m sure you think I’m acting like a crazy person or worse. It’s my mother. She’s been calling and texting nonstop all week. I don’t answer because I know what she wants. Money,” she twirls a lock of her hair around her finger. “It’s always money. I don’t know how she keeps getting my phone numbers. I have them private, and yet she still seems to miraculously get them every time.”

“You could block her on your cell phone.” I’m not sure what she could do about her home phone.

Her eyes light up. “I should. Why didn’t I think of that? Probably because I’ve been so damn tired this week.”

Hopefully now that I’m here we’ll both get some much needed sleep.

Leaning back, Sadie moans and places her hands on her belly. “I’m so full I have a food baby.”

Far from it, but it’s cute she thinks so.

“Now that I’m full, I think I might pass out now that you’re with me.” I lean back and close my eyes.

“Sleep sounds like a good idea,” she murmurs, leaning her head against my shoulder and throwing a blanket over us.

Opening one eye, I look down at her snuggled up to me with a serene smile on her face. “You want to sleep here?”

“Just a nap. I don’t want to move,” she grumbles.

I can’t fault her. I’m warm, full, and have Sadie in my arms.

My world starts to slowly fade away as I listen to her breathing become slow and steady. She’s asleep, and in only a few moments, so am I.

For the first time in days, we both sleep all night wrapped in each other’s arms.

Tyson knockson my office door and then pokes his head in. “You wanted to see me, Mrs. Frost?”
