“What?” His brows creased, obviously not following me.
“She’s Randy’s younger sister. She didn’t trust him to give me the money and not gamble it away, so she came to find me herself.”
“Then how did she end up in your bed?”
I shrugged. “She’s hot and I couldn’t resist. I also may have fibbed and moved the timeline for the interest up by a few hours.”
He tskd sarcastically. “You paid her.”
I pretended to be horrified. “I did not. Besides, that didn’t work. It took a little more persuasion after that. She was battling herself. She wanted to come up here, but she is the complete opposite of Randy. She doesn’t cave to what she wants, she maintains self-control.” Mostly.
“Right…” Keith didn’t believe me, understandably. “I guess all those clothes in the elevator were from both of you having self-control.
My face felt hot, making me wonder if I was blushing. “She has this effect on me. When I’m touching her, the rest of the world seems to disappear.” I shrugged, trying to ignore the anxiety starting to creep in, the worry about why I felt such a need for her.
“Ya huh.” He knew me well enough to know not to push. “Just how long are you planning on staying up here?”
“I convinced her to give me the night. Why?”
He tilted his head to the side. “I need to know how long to stay downstairs. I don’t want to walk in on anything. It’s bad enough that I know what you will be doing as soon as I turn my back.”
I flipped him off. “Maybe I was planning on going back to sleep. She took a lot out of me.”
His eyes flicked down, drawing mine. “You are locked and loaded. Those boxers aren’t exactly hiding it. We both know where your mind has gone.”
Denial was pointless, thanks to my body giving it away. “True. Keep an eye on the club for me.” I walked away from him, already pushing my boxers down.
“Yep.” He headed straight for the door, his back to me. Not that we hadn’t seen either of each other’s loaded guns enough times. We had shared this very same studio apartment after I got the loan to buy the building. We both saved money by living here.
I moved the blanket off Fiona, lifted her leg, and dove right in. Considering the door didn’t close until after she screamed in the best way possible, and I had emptied completely again, I figured he had stayed to watch. That wouldn’t be a first either. Kind of hard not to watch when one of you brought a girl home and you shared a room. More than once one of us got off to it. It was like watching live porn.
What was a first though, was my not realizing he was still there. I was pretty sure Fiona didn’t either.
I didn’t move away from her, only helped her roll to her back. Then I leaned down and kissed her softly.
“You woke me up.”
I laughed as I dropped my forehead onto the pillow next to her head. “I did warn you it would be all night. And I’m just getting started.”
