“So, I think what you’re telling me is that if you start keeping things bottled up, I should be concerned, because it might mean you’re gearing up to leave,” he reasoned.
I continued to smile at him, loving that he clearly seemed to like having me around. “Am I to assume you want to keep me here?”
“I’ve wanted that since I offered to show you around town. If you think I’ve changed my mind now that I’ve gotten a taste of you, you’re crazy.”
Laughter escaped, my fingertips tracing gently over the skin on his chest. “I like you, Paxton. And I really like what’s happening between us.”
He lifted his hand to the side of my head, captured a lock of hair between his fingers, and tucked it behind my ear. “I feel the same.”
Feeling reassured, I dropped my head to his chest again and draped my arm completely over his torso. He hugged me tightly in response.
The two of us stayed like a while before Paxton asked, “Would you like me to stay the night with you?”
“I’d love that, but… can you? I mean, with the animals.”
“I can. I just need to run over to the house quickly tolet the dogs out and check on everyone. But I’d really like to come back and stay the night with you.”
I lifted my cheek from his chest and arched my back a bit more to give him the space to move out from beneath me. “Do you want, I mean, I don’t know how they’d all get along, but if you want to bring them here?—”
“They’ll be fine, Aria. I just need to run over for a few minutes, but I’ve got cameras I can access from my phone to check on them throughout the night.”
I nodded my understanding. “Okay.”
“I love that you were willing to offer up your place to all of them, though. It’s just one more thing for me to like about you. And that’s after I learned how much I like how you look, feel, and sound when my cock is inside you.”
I bit my lip and looked away.
“And now she’s shy,” Paxton muttered. “You were begging me not that long ago, and now you’re feeling bashful?” He sat up, taking me with him, and brought his lips to my cheek. After pressing a chaste kiss there, he said, “You’re a whole lot more fun than I ever thought you were going to be.”
“I’m glad I’m exceeding your expectations.”
He gave me another kiss, this one on the lips. And the next thing I knew, he exited the bed and had pulled on his clothes. “I’ll grab your key so I can lock the door as I leave. This way you can stay in bed, keeping it warm until I get back.”
The corners of my mouth tipped up. “I’ll do my best.”
A moment later, he was gone. And about a minute after he left, Sasha prowled into my room. Apparently, she had a lot to say, too.
When she stopped meowing, I declared, “I think he really likes me, Sasha.”
She gave me an unimpressed look in response, clearly upset I’d not only avoided spending time with her by going out with Paxton tonight, but also frustrated with me for being so caught up in him once I returned.
Wanting to make it up to her, I got out of the bed, pulled on a robe, and scooped her up in my arms. “I know you’re mad at me, but I needed this tonight. He makes me happy. And I know you know he’s a good guy.”
Sasha made it clear she could get over it with enough love. I did my best, knowing Paxton likely had to do the same at his place before he returned.
It was a little while later when I heard the front door opening again. My belly flipped just thinking about the fact Paxton was going to spend the night with me. I couldn’t wait to be back in his arms again.
Sasha hopped down off my lap and strode out of the room. She must have met Paxton at the top of the stairs, because I could hear the deep rumble of his voice carrying down the hall toward my bedroom.
She might have been giving me a bunch of attitude about how my evening had gone, but I didn’t doubt she was out there purring in Paxton’s arms.
I decided to stay right where I was and give her the time with him.
When he finally entered the room, I asked, “Was your gang okay?”
“They’re all good. Sasha stopped me at the top of the stairs.”
“Yeah, she came in, gave me a piece of her mind, and demanded some love. I caved and gave it to her.”
