“Yes, but I won it, and . . . I don’t know . . . I mean, how much is it worth to you?”
I lean back, giving him a view of my breasts as I play with my hair. “I’m not sure.”
Jacob grins, his eyes moving up and down. “How about just one lick to start with?” He moves closer, lifting the spoon until it just brushes my bottom lip. “Can you do that?”
“Are you asking if I can resist?”
“Can you?”
“Depends what I’m being told I have to hold out against.”
“Is there something else you’d rather?” Jacob asks, pulling the spoon back.
“I wonder . . .” I move a bit closer, my lips nearing his. “If I were to taste a bit of the ice cream somewhere else.” Jacob’s eyes flare, and my mouth is right there. I could kiss him so easily.
“Where else?”
I fight back the smile when I hear the hitch in his voice.
And then I close my lips around the spoon and take the whole thing.
Jacob lunges forward, grabbing me around my waist. “You little sneak!”
I laugh as I swallow the ice cream and we fall to the cold ground. “Hey!”
“Hey, yourself! You stole my ice cream.” Jacob lies on top of me as he tickles my side.
“What was that about possession?”
“Ice cream thief!”
I giggle and squirm from both his assault and the cold tile beneath me. “Jacob! Stop! I’m sorry!”
His big arms cage me in, and he pushes up a little. “Are you?”
“Maybe.”
One brow raises as he stares at me. “Maybe?”
“Well, I mean, I wanted that ice cream.”
“Did you?”
I nod and press my hands to his strong chest before moving them up to his shoulders. “I did.”
“And what about what I want? That ice cream was on my spoon. You owe me something for taking it from me.”
His words stir the heat inside my core, and I’m awfully glad we’re still naked because it will make round two of tonight much easier.
“I do?”
“Yup.”
I grin, moving my fingers along his jaw. “What do you want?”
His deep voice is low and warm. “Lately, there’s only one thing I want.”
“Yeah?”
