“Properly, I haven’t—”

“I’m going to point out her round, so long.” I tightened my grip on her hand and strode from the kitchen, headed for the eating room. I felt a finger poking my shoulder and slowed my tempo, turning my head to look again at Sienna. She didn’t say something, and I finished to face her totally. “What’s it, child?”

She raised a single eyebrow. “Oh, am I allowed to talk now?” I grinned and motioned with my hand for her to proceed. “Are you all the time going to be this bossy?”

“Most likely,” I answered instantly with a shrug.

Sienna rolled her eyes to the ceiling and sighed. “A minimum of you’re trustworthy about it,” she muttered. Rattling, she was cute. I couldn’t keep in mind the final time I’d smiled a lot. “Properly,” she continued, “lower the ventriloquism act. I’m not a puppet and may converse for myself.”

One thing inside me burst with heat and earlier than I may test the intuition, I tugged her ahead till she fell into my chest. My arms went round her and I lowered my head to brush my lips over hers. “Fuck, you’re as tender and candy as you look,” I murmured. I allowed myself yet another contact of our lips and loved the sight of her brown eyes darkening with need and a candy blush gracing her cheeks.

The fog cleared, and he or she shortly took a step again. I let her go away my embrace however as soon as once more, took her hand firmly in mine.

“Is kissing you within the job description?”

I smirked and tapped the tip of her nostril. “Nope, only a perk.”

Her eyes dropped to my lips for a second earlier than she appeared to appreciate what she was doing. She huffed and muttered one thing as she marched previous me, coming into the seating space of the restaurant. My eyes adopted her instance and dropped down, besides they had been glued to her ass as she walked forward of me.

I confirmed her round the remainder of the house and launched her to the workers on obligation. Her eyes sparkled, and it was straightforward to see her falling in love with the place. I used to be extraordinarily happy along with her response as I all the time hoped my spouse could be as obsessed with Saphyre as I used to be.

Spouse.

Fuck, that sounded good. I couldn’t wait to place my ring on her finger and my child in her stomach. Nonetheless, for the second, I stored these ideas to myself.

Saphyre was simply opening their doorways for lunch after we completed, so I commandeered a small desk in a secluded nook and ordered lunch. She requested me about my plans now that my present was accomplished and I advised her about my purpose to open one other restaurant, in addition to a visitor spot I’d agreed to. I used to be going to be a choose on a actuality cooking present.

I requested her questions on her courses in addition to her household. Her mother and father apparently lived in a small city a few hours away, and he or she had a brother who was a pilot and lived in Chicago.

“Do you may have class tonight, child?” I requested after we completed consuming. She shook her head as she sipped from a glass of glowing water.

“I am going to highschool within the mornings and twice per week I’ve labs at two within the afternoon.”

I stood and held my hand out to assist her up. “Nice. I can take you to your new house, and we’ll get you moved on this weekend.”

She positioned her serviette on the desk earlier than permitting me to assist her stand. Straightening her shoulders and backbone, clearly making an attempt to shut as a lot of the hole in our top distinction as doable. She seemed me sq. within the eye with a decided glint. A part of me wished to snort at her effort to be intimidating, the opposite was cautious of what she needed to say.

“I advised you earlier than, Owen. I’m advantageous with my present dwelling preparations. You don’t even have so as to add the associated fee that you’d have paid in room and board to my wage.” I used to be about to steam roll over her and demand that she transfer in with me, however then I noticed a shadow go over her face as she talked about her place. I made a decision to dig into that a little bit later, whereas taking the bees and honey route for a second.

“Let me not less than present it to you after which you’ll be able to resolve.” I smiled hopefully and within the subsequent breath, her shoulders sagged and he or she agreed. We headed to my workplace to collect my issues and whereas she was just a few steps forward, I pulled out my cellphone to textual content a buddy of mine. He owned a safety firm, and I wished him to run a test on Sienna. I wanted as a lot details about her dwelling preparations as doable so I may provide you with leverage to maneuver her in with me as shortly as doable.

Sienna

“Mmm,” I sighed, waking up feeling deliciously heat. I stayed the place I used to be, protecting my eyes closed, and loved the feeling. It wasn’t till I stretched my arms above my head that I noticed many of the heat was coming from a physique sprawled subsequent to me. I attempted to scoot away, however I used to be pinned to the mattress by a heavy arm draped over my stomach.

“What the—” I twisted to the aspect and located Owen there, napping. All of it got here dashing again to me. My interview that resulted in a job supply I hadn’t been anticipating. The best way he’d maneuvered me into visiting his undeniably attractive house. How we’d sat outdoors and chatted about all the pieces and nothing at throughout a glass of wine. One glass become two, after which Owen insisted that he needed to feed me since I’d been ingesting. I’d watched, enthralled by the sight of him within the kitchen, as he’d whipped collectively a scrumptious meal with solely the contents of his pantry since he’d been out of city and didn’t have something within the fridge. He was much more spectacular in individual than on tv… which is why I’d helped to shine off one other bottle of wine with dinner.

The surreal state of affairs I’d discovered myself in had positively known as for liquid braveness. If solely I hadn’t taken it a glass (or extra) too far and landed myself in an much more unbelievable place—me, in mattress with an extremely attractive man. I wasn’t utterly sure how I’d ended up right here, not to mention with him asleep beside me. The small print after dinner had been form of fuzzy.

Did I?

Did we?

I couldn’t even end the thought in my very own head. Lifting the sheet up with a trembling hand, I heaved an enormous sigh of aid when I discovered myself wearing an extended T-shirt and a pair of boxers. If I’d been too drunk to recollect shedding my virginity to Owen, then absolutely I might even have been too drunk to assume to ask for garments to sleep in. Proper?

The one one that may reply that query pulled me nearer to his physique and whispered in my ear, “Morning, lovely.”

Holy wow, the sound of his raspy morning voice would have had my panties melting off my physique… if I’d been sporting any. My silent freak-out ratcheted up a few notches as I as soon as once more considered what may need occurred between us final evening.

“You sleep okay?”

“Yeah.” My reply was barely audible, extra simply my lips shifting with none sound popping out. However that didn’t make my reply any much less truthful. I’d slept higher than I had in months, which was loopy contemplating it was the primary time I’d ever spent the evening in mattress with a person. You’d assume that may make for a stressed evening.

“Good.” He dropped a kiss on my shoulder—a freaking KISS—and rolled away from bed. My gaze slid down his sculpted chest, counting the ridges as I skimmed all the way down to his black boxers. I yanked my head again up when it dawned on me what the tented materials meant. He was laborious. And freaking large!

“Umm.” My cheeks full of warmth, and he smirked at me with a figuring out look in his eyes.

“Get used to it, child. You’re going to be seeing an entire lot of me.”

“About that.” I jumped away from bed and searched the room for my garments. “How a lot of you probably did I see final evening?”

“Not as a lot as I’d have appreciated.”

That’s a disgrace.

What? The place did that thought come from? My head jerked up as I paused in my frantic search. He was stalking in the direction of me, and I backed up a few steps, holding my arms as much as ward him off. “So we didn’t? You already know, do the horizontal tango?”

“No, Sienna. All we did was cuddle and sleep.” His inexperienced eyes flared as he took one other step nearer. “When I’ve you below me, there gained’t be any doubts in your head about what occurred between us. You’ll keep in mind since you’ll really feel the place I’ve been for days.”

/>   I couldn’t deliver myself to consider the second half of his reply and what it meant, so I centered on the primary half. “We cuddled?”

“Yeah,” he admitted sheepishly. “Usually, I’m not a lot of a cuddler, however I wasn’t about to go up the possibility to have you ever in my arms.”

“The one likelihood,” I gasped, bumping into the wall as I attempted to again additional away from him. “In the event you’re going to be my boss, this”—I waved between us and the rumpled mattress—“can’t occur once more.”

He moved nearer, wrapping his arms round my wrists and yanking me into his physique. “There’s no if about it, Sienna. I’m your boss, and that is going to occur once more, together with a helluva lot extra.”
