Baby, I Do Page 3


  “Well, enjoy your dinner, you two.”

  I waved at Zack, not sparing him a glance as I heard him walk away.

  “Most guys run for the door as soon as they know about my brother,” Aurora mused. “Except for my brothers-in-law.”

  “I’m not most guys.”

  Aurora smiled and cocked her head to the side. “I’m starting to see that.” She picked up her silverware and started to eat, so I followed suit.

  “So, tell me about these dangerous people you know.”

  I laughed when Aurora choked on her food and took a long drink of her water. That sweet blush returned, and I wondered if her whole body would turn pink when she was flushed with desire.

  “I might have been exaggerating,” she admitted.

  For the next hour, we talked about our pasts and families as we polished off our meals. My parents had retired to Florida, and I was an only child, so I didn’t have much to say on that front. However, Aurora had me rolling with laughter at her tales of the antics between her and her sisters.

  When our plates were cleared, the server placed a dessert menu on the table and excused himself for a few minutes while we decided.

  As Aurora perused the choices, she licked her lips and sighed. “I can never decide. Everything is so delicious.” I watched, captivated as she bit her bottom lip for a second, then her pink tongue darted out once again to lick along the bee-stung flesh.

  I hadn’t taken one look at the menu; I already knew exactly what I wanted for dessert.

  The waiter returned, and I snatched the menu from Aurora’s hand and handed them both over. Aurora frowned at me and grumbled, “Hey, I wasn’t done deciding.”

  I speared her with an intense gaze, and her eyes widened, but she pressed her lips together and didn’t say anything else.

  “We’ll take one of everything,” I told the young guy. “To go.” I quickly fished out my wallet—not an easy task considering how tight my pants were at the moment—and handed him a credit card. “The faster we’re on our way out of here, the bigger your tip.” The server grinned and scurried off as though his ass was on fire.

  I turned back to find Aurora gaping at me. I tried to smile at her, but then I started to picture sliding my cock into that warm, wet space. At that point, I imagined my expression looked more like a grimace as the teeth of my zipper imprinted themselves on my dick.

  “Did I say something wrong?” she finally asked. “Are you so eager to get away from me?” She was trying to look as though she didn’t care, but the hurt in her voice bled through.

  I immediately leaned forward and took one of her hands in mine. “You’ve got that ass-backwards, baby. I’m desperate to spend more time with you.”

  “Then why did you order everything? So that I’d stop hesitating and dragging out our meal? Not to mention getting it to go so that I’ll be forced to go home and eat it all by myself.”

  I squeezed her hand to make sure I had her full attention. “First of all, I ordered one of everything because I didn’t want you to have to decide. I want to give you everything.” I meant that. Everything. Not just the desserts. “Second, I ordered it to go because if I’m going to watch you enjoy those treats, it’s going to be when we’re alone so I don’t embarrass myself in the middle of a restaurant. And third, don’t think you won’t have to share. I intend to eat a little of everything.” My eyes drifted down, and I would have done a full sweep of her delicious body, but the table was in my way.

  Aurora’s blue orbs were round and wide as she stared at me. She appeared to be a little puzzled, but the rosy hue of her face told me that she understood my innuendo, she just wasn’t sure if that was how I’d actually meant it. I decided to leave her wondering a little longer.

  The waiter returned with two bulging bags of to-go containers and set them on the table, along with the check holder. I nodded my head and glanced at my watch. “Impressive.”

  He beamed at me, then asked, “Will there be anything else?”

  After declining his offer, I added a generous tip to the bill and tucked my credit card back into my wallet. I stood from my chair, then held my hand out to help Aurora up from hers. Keeping a firm hold on her, I grabbed the handles of both bags in my other hand and guided her outside. We walked up to the cab stand, and they hailed a taxi for us within a few minutes. “I’ll bring you back to work in the morning,” I explained when she started to protest about leaving her car behind.

  Her forehead creased as she frowned. “You’re going to come pick me up and take me to work? That doesn’t make sense.”

  I squeezed her hand as the cabbie came around to open our door. “Don’t worry about it.” I didn’t tell her that she’d be leaving for work from my house in the morning. She’d figure it out eventually. I placed the bags in the trunk, then assisted my girl into the back of the vehicle.

  She leaned toward the opening in the glass partition, and I tugged on her hand, pulling her back and curling my arm around her. Then I rattled off my address and the car sped off.

  “I thought you were taking me home to eat all that dessert?” she asked. Her voice was a little breathy, and it caused my dick to twitch painfully.

  “I am, baby,” I assured her with a warm smile and a peck on her temple.

  “But that’s not my address.”

  “I know.” To avoid further arguments or questions, I gave in to the urge that had been clawing at me since the moment I saw her standing in my office, breathing fire. I used the arm around her to drag her onto my lap, then captured her chin with one hand, forcing her to face me. Leaning close, I brushed my mouth over hers. She let out a tiny gasp, and her lips parted, giving me exactly what I wanted.

  My mouth sealed tight over hers, and my tongue slipped inside the warm recesses of her mouth. She tasted like strawberries and white wine. I groaned and deepened the kiss, wanting more yet knowing this was all I could have for the moment. I released her chin, and my hand delved into her long, golden blond hair, clenching it tight so I could position her head into just the right spot.

  Aurora moaned, and her upper body practically melted into mine. I was losing control by the second, and I knew I should tear myself away for the rest of the drive, but she was like a drug, and I had clearly become addicted to her from the first moment our lips had touched.

  “Yo!” the driver yelled as the cab screeched to a stop. The jolt separated us, and we both sucked in a deep lungful of air.

  I glanced out the window to see we were in my driveway and sighed in relief. “Thank fuck,” I groaned. Any longer, and I might have given the cabbie an X-rated show.

  Aurora

  “I guess this really is a date if you brought me to your house after dinner, huh?” Between all the kissing we did in the cab, and where we were, his reason for ordering dessert to go was abundantly clear. The embarrassment he’d mentioned was because of how turned on he was—which I’d felt for myself when we’d been pressed against each other during the ride over.

  “Of course it is, baby.” Will laced his fingers with mine and led me up the sidewalk to a ranch-style, stucco house. “But you already knew that since you admitted to this being a date earlier.”

  “Don’t try to use your lawyering skills on me,” I chided in a teasing tone as my cheeks filled with heat. “It wasn’t an admission so much as me being thrown off by your lack of concern over Knox’s reaction to us having dinner together.”

  “Okay, I guess I’ll let that one slide.” His charming smile and wink made my toes practically curl. We made it to the top of the steps, but he didn’t release my hand. Instead, he set the bags on the ground so he could pull his keys out of his pocket and unlock the door. After opening it, he ushered me in ahead of him. “But only since you just admitted to it...again.”

  I laughed and shook my head as I checked out what I could see of the inside of his home. The living room had tile flooring and vaulted ceilings. The furniture was brown leather and looked comfortable, per
fect for snuggling. The couch faced a fireplace, and there was a big flat-screen television mounted over it. His place had a definite bachelor pad vibe going on, but it didn’t look like a frat house the morning after a party—thank goodness—because I wouldn’t have been able to resist the urge to clean up if it had. “You’re not going to cut me any slack, are you?”

  “When it comes to getting you to go out with me on actual dates? Not a chance in hell.” He winked at me as he tugged on my hand and led me into the kitchen. Any resemblance to a bachelor pad ended there. It had granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a noticeable lack of dirty dishes. There was even a bowl of fresh fruit sitting out, full of apples and pears.

  Will pulled all the boxes out of the bags and spread them out on the counter. Then he grabbed a couple of spoons and forks from a drawer next to the sink. He slid one of each in my direction and asked, “Can I get you something to drink?”

  Eyeing the sheer volume of sugary goodness in front of me, I nodded. “Yeah, I’m definitely going to need something to wash this down.”

  “Follow me,” he instructed as he headed toward the door off to the left of the kitchen.

  I walked into the garage with him but veered away from a beverage fridge on my left because I spotted the motorcycle sitting on the opposite side of his garage. I drifted over to it as though pulled by a string. When I got close, I trailed my fingers over the glossy black paint. He’d been super preppy looking this morning, all buttoned up in a suit and tie with those sexy glasses perched on his nose. “Tattoos and a motorcycle, huh?”

  “What can I say?” He shrugged his broad shoulders. “I’m a firm believer in letting loose outside of work.”

  I whistled softly. “You sure do make the most of your downtime.”

  He tilted his head to the side and asked, “Judging by your reaction, it sounds like you don’t?”

  “According to my sisters, definitely not.” I shook my head and sighed. “They’re always trying to talk me into spending less time on work and more on fun now that our business is established and running like a well-oiled machine.”

  “It’s a good thing you met me.” He flashed me a sexy grin. “I’ll just have to lure you into getting a little wild with me.”

  Damn, his charm was lethal. If I couldn’t feel how wet they were, I would’ve thought my panties had just spontaneously combusted. “You’re just busting all my preconceived notions about you tonight.”

  “Considering your first impression of me, that's not a bad thing.”

  Talk about a major understatement. “Yeah, I should probably apologize for the scene I made this morning. Even though I was beyond pissed off when I saw those clients of mine walk into your office, I didn't have the right to storm in there the way I did. And I definitely shouldn’t have screamed at your assistant like a crazy woman. Or you, either.”

  Will smiled as he reached for my hand. “Normally, someone showing up to bitch me out in my office would’ve made me furious.” He shook his head and chuckled. “But I can't find it in myself to be angry about what happened this morning because it brought you to me. And you look like a fucking goddess when you’re all fired up. The only heat I felt was from passion, not anger.”

  I ducked my head when I felt the blush filling my cheeks. “So...about that drink you were going to get me?”

  “Sometime soon, I’m going to see how far down I can get this to go.” He stroked a finger down my cheek, making the color deepen even more. “But for right now, I’ll settle for grabbing our drinks and making a dent in the smorgasbord of desserts we brought home.”

  I giggled softly at his word choice, which brought the energy crackling around us down a notch or two. Then we moved the desserts to the coffee table in the living room and got comfortable on the couch before digging in. We quickly discovered that we both had a love for chocolate when we kept trying to take bites from the flourless chocolate cake at the same time. Being a true gentleman, Will always let me go first.

  When I’d had more than my fair share, I set my fork down and leaned back on the couch, patting my stomach. “Mmm, that was amazing.”

  “We’ll have to do it again sometime but with a double order of chocolate cake”—he pointed at the Butterscotch Bourbon Budino that we’d barely touched—“instead of another one of those.”

  I glanced over at the box, which had been practically licked clean. “Fair warning, the way to this girl’s heart is definitely through her stomach when it comes to chocolate.”

  “Thanks for the tip.” He clasped my face between his hands and leaned down to brush his lips softly over mine. “Next time, we’ll stop at a bunch of places on the Strip to grab their best chocolate desserts, so we’ll have plenty to choose from.”

  How in the hell was I supposed to protect my heart from a smart, sexy guy who wanted to give me chocolate? The more time we spent together, I was finding it harder and harder to resist him. “I don’t remember agreeing to a next time.”

  “It must be the dessert coma.” He nipped at my bottom lip. “Because our second date is tomorrow night.”

  “I don’t know—”

  His swooped down to claim my mouth before I could finish my sentence. My lips parted on a gasp, and his tongue swept inside to tangle with mine. By the time he lifted his head again, his chest was heaving, and his dark green eyes were heavy-lidded.

  His kiss had fogged my brain, making it hard to think clearly. His lips tasted like the chocolate cake we’d eaten but with a spicy kick that was all his own. I desperately wanted another taste, so I pressed our lips together again. Will groaned into my mouth and lifted me off the couch to settle me on his lap.

  Straddling his lap, I felt his cock press against my pussy. He was hard and oh, so big. Plastering myself against him, I twined my arms around his neck and slanted my head to give him better access to my mouth. He deepened the kiss, and his hands slid down my back to cup my butt. My core clenched as he rocked against me, making me whimper in need.

  “I knew it’d be like this between us the moment I laid eyes on you.” He trailed kisses down my neck, his breath hot against my skin as he spoke. “Explosive.”

  One of his hands circled my body to cup my pussy through my clothes. I knew I was wet enough for him to feel it through the material, but I was too turned on to be embarrassed by it. “Fuck,” he groaned. “You’re drenched for me, baby. I can’t wait to get inside your tight, little pussy.”

  “Neither can I.”

  Was I really about to have sex with a guy who I’d only known for twelve hours? One who I’d met while throwing a hissy fit in his office?

  He slid his hand under my waistband and dived straight inside my panties, sinking one of his long fingers inside me, making me moan. The decision was easier than I expected...I was definitely going to have sex with Will tonight.

  Will

  I didn’t know how much longer I was going to last. My mind and heart wanted to go slow, to savor every second of our first time together. But my body was clearly not in agreement.

  Aurora felt amazing pressed against me. Her panties were soaked, and I couldn’t help slipping a finger underneath the fabric and plunging it inside her. We moaned in unison, and I pumped it a few times as I took her lips in another scorching kiss.

  Turning my finger, I scraped the tip along her sensitive spot and swallowed her cry of elation as I worked her faster and harder. She ripped her mouth away, and her head dropped back as her hips undulated, taking her pleasure. My tongue followed along her jawline, then down the smooth silk of her neck. Sweet whimpers were falling from Aurora’s lips, and her panting breaths drew my attention to her perfect tits. My mouth watered at the thought of sucking on her hard nipples visible through her shirt.

  I swallowed hard and focused on what I was doing at that moment, telling myself there would be plenty of time for all the things I wanted to do to her. Aurora’s body began to shake, and it wasn’t long before she stiffened and screamed a
s her pussy clamped down around my finger. It was hot as fuck and come spurted from my dick, making a damn mess of my pants. Yeah, I couldn’t have cared less.

  When her shudders subsided and she collapsed forward onto my chest, I withdrew my finger and sucked it clean. “Mmmmm,” I moaned. “You taste so fucking amazing. If I didn’t need to be inside you so bad right now, I would spread you out on this couch and make you come on my tongue.”

  Aurora shivered and shifted restlessly in my lap. I kissed her cheek and grinned when she practically wrapped herself around me. With both hands under her ass, I held her in place as I stood. Then I stalked quickly to the master suite, which was located at the back of the house. There were four more bedrooms upstairs, and as I laid Aurora on the bed, I couldn’t help thinking about filling up each one.

  “You’re so beautiful,” I murmured as I deftly unbuttoned her pink silk blouse. When the fabric fell away, I drank in the sight of her large, round tits and the peaks poking through her hot pink satin bra. I leaned down and sucked one tip into my mouth through the fabric. Aurora squirmed and dug her hands into my hair. After a few pulls, I switched to the other side and gave it the same treatment.

  She arched her back, and my hands found their way underneath her to undo the clasp on her bra. I let her nipple pop from my mouth, then yanked down the cups and latched onto her rosy pink flesh. Eventually, I lifted my head, and Aurora’s hands fisted in my hair. She held me to her as though I was trying to get away. I chuckled and kissed each swollen tip. “Patience, baby. We’ve got all the time in the world for me to explore your gorgeous body. But if I don’t get inside you soon”—my voice lowered to a growl—"I’m going to lose my fucking mind.”

  Aurora opened her eyes, and the blue was so dark, it was almost black. Her cheeks were flushed, and as my gaze dropped, I grinned when I saw the blush spreading down over her breasts. “That’s a start,” I teased, running my finger through the valley between the heavy globes.
