He smiled. “What are you laughing at?”
I moved my hand along the side of his body, tracing the rippling muscles on his back and abdomen. “Most people take their clothes off before sex, not after.”
He grinned. “We're not most people.”
“That's for sure.”
He kissed me on the forehead and looked in my eyes. “What were you going to say when you came in here?”
“That I don't care about that agreement we made to not have a repeat of our first… sexual encounter.”
He raised his eyebrows. “Is that so?”
“Yes, that's so.”
“So the one time wasn't enough to get it out of your system?”
I bit my lip. “Apparently not.”
“Good.”
“Cooper, you're all I could think about the past few weeks.” I swallowed. That sounded way too intimate. “I mean, sex with you was all I could think about,” I quickly added.
“Same here.”
“And I don't think this second time will be enough, either.”
He kissed me on the mouth, his tongue probing my depths. Then he pulled back to look at me. “Not nearly enough.”
“So should we amend the rules?”
“Definitely.”
“So, sex is okay? We can do this as much as we want?” I asked. “I mean, as long as this fake relationship thing continues.”
“I can agree to that.”
I nodded. “We are two adults, after all. We can have a mature physical relationship.”
“Absolutely.” He trailed a finger over my nipple, which grew pebbled under his touch.
“We should still keep this just between you and me, though. I definitely don't want my father finding out we have something like this going on.”
“He’s the last person who should find out. He’d take the news of the fake engagement better than finding out we're sleeping together.”
“Yeah. He certainly would.”
“And we shouldn’t change things in front of Eva and Lily. This is already too confusing for them. Eva pretty much knows it’s all for the custody hearing. But Lily…” He swallowed. “Well, it’s better if they don’t see us cuddling on the couch.”
“Right. I’m sorry this is confusing for them.”
“Yeah. I hate to bring more changes into their lives. But it was my only choice to keep custody of them.”
I nodded. “Yeah. I know it’s going to be hard for them, but I agree—it’s for the best.”
He was quiet.
“If you want, I could still come see Lily and Eva sometimes. After this is all over.”
