“You told me in the car that you were starving and would kill for my famous pasta salad.”
“I said that.” She pouted up at me and then scratched her fingernails lightly over my shirt, just the way I liked. “But I’m also pretty hungry for you, Comte.”
I cursed under my breath, then hauled her up the stairs with me. We stormed into the bathroom, giggling and kissing the entire way. Roe made everything so much lighter.
“One orgasm,” I said sternly as we stripped our clothes off. “Or two,” I added when she opened the small button at the back of her neck and peeled the romper off.
Goddess, she was so fucking beautiful.
I nearly lost my mind when Roe unclasped her bra and freed her heavy breasts. Every single one of her curves deserved to be appreciated. No! They had to be worshipped, and I was the one to do it.
With a little cheeky smile on her face, she turned and shimmied her knickers down her ass and thick thighs. I longed to feel them around my head and bury my face between them.
I followed her into the shower and waited for her to put on her shower cap and turn on the water. For someone like me who preferred cool showers, the temperature Roe picked was close to boiling point. Maybe she wanted to soften me up even more.
My breathing sped up when she squeezed some of her rosehip body wash out and spread it all over her body.
Moon Goddess.
I met her eyes, and her soft smile broke through my armour. It doused my burning hunger, just for a moment, and exposed my soft emotional underbelly.
“Thank you for today,” I murmured, and let my lips linger against her brow. Being vulnerable with Roe was almost too easy these days.
“Are you okay, Luc?” she asked and sought my eyes.
“Yeah, I’m great.” I hugged her tighter. “I’m just happy to be here with you.”
“Me, too.” Dawn got up on tiptoes and kissed me long and sweet.
Should I tell her now?
“Come on. I want to feed you first.”
Putting my carnal needs before making sure she was fed and cared for suddenly felt wrong, too.
“Okay.” She pouted again.
“You’re impossible to resist when you do that.” I brushed my thumb over her pursed lips, wondering if she had any idea how much I wanted to give her everything. “Almost impossible. Youhave no idea how hard it is not to kiss you senseless right now.” I stole a quick taste of her mouth. “Come on, let’s get some food into you.” I pressed a quick kiss on her mouth. “I’ll see you in the kitchen in a bit.”
With another tiny peck, I quickly spread my fur shampoo over my body, rinsed off, and wrapped myself in one of the towels designed for people with fur.
They’d become the latest hit at my gym. “Furfect” towels were started by my coach’s boyfriend, and I’d be forever grateful to Emilio for tipping me off.
Chapter 15
Dawn
After we showered and changed, Luc went to the kitchen to throw something together for dinner. When we sat down to eat at the kitchen table, I saw the bowls of pasta salad with tuna.
He remembered my comfort food.
Lucien Atkins, setting the bar unreasonably high, one dinner at a time.
“It was strange working from home last week,” he admitted, swirling his fork through the salad. “I never did that at any of my previous jobs.”
I grinned. “And for me, being back in an office was the weird part. I’ve spent way too long working in pyjamas.”
Luc gave me a sidelong glance. “Do you miss it? Working from home, I mean. Or maybe just the pyjamas?”
