Page 77 of Merry Mayhem
He’s in jeans, but they are unbuttoned and unzipped, resting loosely on his hips, and he’s shirtless. I want to run my hands and tongue all over every ridge and plane of his shoulders, chest, back, and abs. I want to trace every line of his tattoos and hear what each means.
I could easily reach back and slip my hand inside the front of his jeans and underwear. I know I would find him thick and hard. I’ve never especially loved giving oral sex, but I have the sudden urge to sink to my knees for this man.
I turn on the stool and look up at him. “All day today, while we are supposed to be doing fun and sweet Christmas activities with two eccentric but adorable little old ladies, every time you smile, I’m going to think about how much I want your lips on my clit.”
His eyes are hot, but he grins as he cups the back of my neck in one big hand, the rough pad of his thumb, stroking up and down the side of my throat. “Are you trying to scandalizeme, Danger?”
I nod. “How was that?”
“Amazing. Keep it up.”
“Every time I look at it, I’m going to think about how your ass feels under my hands when I’m gripping it while you’re thrusting into me.”
He looks pleased and very turned on. His thumb pauses under my jaw, pressing slightly to tip my head back. He leans in, his mouth hovering over mine. “Is that because I am going to be in front of you all day? Winning?”
I laugh, but then have no choice but to pull him in and kiss him.
Just as the kiss turns hungry, my phone pings with a text.
I sigh and pull back. We’re still in the middle of Merry Mayhem. That text could be anything. It could be my daughter, too. As much as I would love to be Josh’s breakfast buffet, I need to be responsible.
I note that his phone does not vibrate, so this isn’t a surprise challenge text.
It’s from Nora, though.
Nora:No morning surprise challenge. You’re welcome.
Nora:I assume you were up late. *winky emoji* You didn’t want to get up early.
Nora:By the way, I totally noticed how you andJoshwere looking at each other last night. I don’t think I was the only one. You guys need to watch it. It was VERY obvious.
I smile, but then that fully sinks in, and my stomach flips over. I look up at Josh.
“No morning challenge. Nora’s gift to us. She assumed we were up late.”
Josh grins. “I really like Nora.”
I nod. “But she says we were a little obvious last night.”
He shrugs. “Probably. It’s going to get harder and harder to hide how we feel. But she already knows about us. It’s just more obvious to her.”
“That’s probably part of it,” I agree. “But we need to be careful.”
“You’re right,” he says with a sigh. “But this can’t go on much longer.”
I completely agree and want to come up with a solution, but I’m distracted by his naked torso, the fact that we have a little extra time now this morning, and…
A new text comes in on my phone.
This is from my mom.
She’s awake!!!
My breath catches in my throat. My eyes immediately well with tears.
“What’s wrong?” Josh asks, noticing instantly.
I look up at him. “Violet’s awake.”
