Crawling onto his couch, she shuffled into him, even going as far as to lift his arm so she could shimmy under it.
“I still can’t believe I’m going to be getting paid to cook.”Her head dipped until she was snuggled into his chest.“Thank you,” she whispered, warming his insides.
Dropping a kiss to her head, he told her for the fourteenth time today, “You don’t need to thank me, petal.You got that job all on your own.At one point I thought Matt was going to cry tears of joy when he got a taste of your whipped blue cheese.”
Adorable giggles vibrated against his chest.
“Now that you’re officially our new chef, how do you feel about coming kitchen shopping with me and Zach next week?”
Riley jolted up, big eyes meeting his.“Really?I get to help choose?”
“It’s gonna beyour kitchen.”
He must have said something right because the next thing he knew she was climbing onto his lap.Giving him a kiss so sweet, he could swear he was getting high on sugar.When she drew back, his throat clogged.It was too soon to feel what he was feeling.It had only been a month.But he felt it nonetheless.
Maybe just don’t say it yet?
The last thing he wanted to do was scare her off.And with all the change coming her way over the next few months, it would be unfair for her to be distracted.He wanted her to enjoy every moment.
Besides, they were in a good place.There was no rush.He already got to see her most nights as he’d practically moved her into his house.And he wanted to enjoy every day too.
With that in mind, his fingers went around the back of her neck as he tugged her back into him.Then he went about kissing the hell out of her.Greedily lapping up every whimper as his other hand went under the thin material of her dress and straight to her ass.
It only took a few minutes of cupping supple flesh before his patience ran out.Easing back, his voice was deep as he ordered, “Clothes off.”
Here’s to living in the now.
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
Riley stared at herreflection in the mirror.The long pink silk bridesmaids dress was probably the sexiest she’d ever seen.With thin straps, it managed to hug every curve and came complete with a rather revealing slit down the front that was bordering on inappropriate.
A low whistle brought her head up.Wade was standing behind her, looking awfully fine in a black suit.
“Goddamn, you look fucking hot.”
Riley’s gaze sliced to his in the mirror.He was giving her that look again.The one that meant he was about to either order her to drop to her knees or take her clothes off.She loved that look.
