Page 134 of Nothing to You
“Oh my God,” she said to herself and unbuttoned the shirt she wore, his shirt.“You want to be in my private space.”
“Sex?That’s your argument.”
“You love it when I make things about sex,” she said, climbing onto him, forcing him to lay against the backrest.“Now…” Laying her hands on his cheeks, she kissed the line between his brows.“Grab my boobs.”
“What?”
“Just do it.”And he didn’t need to be told again.When she was firm in his fondling hold, she arched deeper into the caress.“Do they feel like Diva’s?”
His scowl deepened as his hands stilled.“Are you kidding me?”
“I am not one of your delicate supermodels,” she said, getting her face closer to his.“You and I will spend the rest of our lives coming at things from opposite angles.We’re contrary people and love to disagree.”
“Having kids is not some bullshit foreplay fight.”
“No.But my needs are not more important than yours.Diva taught you different and I want you to forget all of that.We are equals.Completely.Which means if you want kids, it’s the circle of friendship.If you want something, it’s our job to figure it out.If I want something, it’s our job to figure it out.If you want to have children, they don’t have to grow in my body.We can adopt or find a surrogate.If you had a child, now, from your past, it wouldn’t change how I feel about you.This is not all or nothing, Boy Scout.It doesn’t have to be one of us happy at the expense of the other.So if you want kids, let’s talk about it.I’m the first to admit, I don’t know everything.Maybe I do want kids, it’s just never been a reality, never been a possibility.”
His deadpan yet arrogant expression betrayed he didn’t believe her.“You, in your life, would never admit you don’t know everything.”
And her sincerity gave way to a laugh.“I know more than you.All day long.”
Grabbing her ass, he squeezed hard, shoving his erection up against her.“I don’t want kids today or tomorrow, that’s as much as I’m sure of.”
“Always the forward planner.”
She whooped as he surged to his feet, lifting her with him.“I’m planning my way into your bedroom.”
“Our bedroom,” she said and kissed him quick.“It doesn’t have a bar.”
Technically, neither did his.The bar was in his secret lair.
“Long as it has free pussy access, we’re good.”
Good.Yes, they were.They couldn’t be more different or more exactly the same.It shouldn’t work, but it did.The world didn’t understand it.Who the hell cared about the world?

“WE’LL BE BACK later today, Leon,” she said to speakerphone, tossing an empty rum bottle into the open trash bag next to her.
“The SIT candidates are growing restless and we’re running out of time-wasting tasks.”
Those left at Mosaic had been vamping all week.No, it wasn’t fair, and yes, sex had been high on her and Rourke’s priority list, but it wasn’t like abandoning their colleagues was frivolous.
Her mom was recovering in hospital and would be released to their care later.Rourke had a jet waiting to take them home where they planned to settle her mom into her new facility.
“We’ll be back later today,” she said again, opening the icebox to empty it.Everything they’d accumulated in the last five days would have to go.“I swear it.We’ll come to the office before we go home.”Though it would likely be late.“If you’re still around, we’ll make a plan.”
“According to Rourke’s schedule, he’s in LA tomorrow.”
“He is?”she asked, pausing in her clear out.Tipping her head back, she hollered, “Hotshot!”
Only a couple of seconds went by before, “You holler at me like that, I think—hey, love the outfit.”
It consisted of panties and nothing else.She’d showered first, so should probably be ready.But he came around the breakfast bar dressed, fastening his watch onto his wrist.
She nodded at the connected phone on the counter.“Tell Leon we’ll be back later.”
Idiot was preoccupied by the tits he’d played with all week and didn’t even look at the device.
