Page 65 of Kylo
I’d like to say I kept my gaze respectfully on his face. But my eyes wandered shamelessly. They traced the edges of his tattoos, the indents of his abdominal muscles, and, yes, the outline of his cock through the underwear that wasn’t hiding much.
Kylo lowered down onto the edge of the patio, his legs in the water, but didn’t come fully in.
“You don’t want to come in?”
“I’m enjoying the view,” he said, gaze on me.
My belly fluttered.
“Thank you for this. Really,” I said, moving closer. “I didn’t realize how much I needed an easy, carefree day like this.”
When I was just a foot or so away from his legs, Kylo slipped into the water, making it lap up over my breasts.
“Don’t mention it,” he said. I felt like there was something hard and guarded in his features then. “It was fun planning it.”
“Did you check out the menu yet? Is it all rich people food? I mean, I’m sure the rich people food is good too, but…”
“It’s a big-ass menu. There is rich people food, but also pastas, burgers, steaks, fries, just about anything you could want.”
“It would be ridiculous to order something as basic as a burger and fries from a fancy place like this…”
“Burger and fries sound good,” he cut me off. “Teddy said we have to order the vanilla cheesecake too. Said it’s the best he’s ever had. Figure that’s really saying something since he’s eaten at all the best places.”
“Cheesecake is my favorite,” I warned. “So I will be judging it harshly.
“Cold?” he asked when a little shiver moved through me.
I’d shivered because his arm brushed my side.
But I couldn’t exactly admit to that.
“A little.”
“Want to try out the hot tub?”
When I gave him a nod, he climbed out and offered me his hand to pull me out too.
Then we were walking over to the much smaller hot tub.
“Better?”
Not in the least.
Our knees brushed.
Little goosebumps pricked my skin despite the warm water.
I sucked in a deep breath, making my chest move out of the water. Kylo’s gaze slipped down. His eyes went heavy-lidded.
My chest felt tight by the time his gaze tracked back up to my face.
It was like we moved in unison.
He reached for me as I moved toward him.
He pulled me up onto his lap, my legs straddling the sides of his as his hands slid down my bare back.
But as much as his hands were exploring, were impatient, there was some sort of hesitation on his gorgeous face.
