Chapter Five: Penny

When I got Xander's text to come over to his place for dinner, I completely forgot the five minute text rule. I'd already turned off my read receipts, too embarrassed for him to see that I wasted no time opening his texts as soon as my phone alerted me that I had a new message. I literally had to flip to a timer and put my phone outside of texting range when I saw the invite because my first instinct was to send a 'YES!' in all caps with a flurry of happy, heart eyes emojis.

I didn't need a crystal ball to know that we would likely end up naked and tangled up in each other. I'd been prepared in kind, scrubbing myself from head to toe and making sure I was ready to pick up where we left off at the winery. Even with all the questions about the arrangement, and my worries that every day I fell deeper and it would make the goodbye even harder, I couldn't do the smart thing and stay away.

And then he told me he needed me. Needed more. All my insecurities that held me back and kept me chained were broken the minute he told me that he wanted more than a month. He said years. Years.

“Get over here.”

The shock on his face made my body smile. I could still surprise him. Still keep him on his toes. “What?”

Lust gripped me tighter as I sank my teeth into my bottom lip. The memory of his touch and knowing that I'd get to feel it really, really soon, emboldened me. I'd get to have him again. He'd get to have me—and this time, it was for real. “Get over here.”

I watched his every move, his body commanding my gaze in the heather gray sweater that made his pale green eyes glimmer. I'd only touched him briefly back in the hall but I had a feeling that beneath those jeans it was all Xander...no pesky underwear to tear off.

He was enthralled, stopping a few feet from me. Close, but not nearly close enough.

“Closer.”

Desire heated his gaze as he took the final step. I could feel the tone of him, the muscles that rippled beneath the clothes that I wanted to tear from his body. Each breath he drew ghosted through me. Every part of me ached for him. I threw my arms around his waist and held him tight, not wanting to let go.

“I want more too, Xander. You can keep the money. I want you. Nothing else but you.”

I gasped when he lifted me off the ground and spun me wildly in a circle. My heart spilled from my lips as I lost myself in happiness.

He lowered me back to the ground, but I glanced at his groin and saw there was another part of him that was flying high. He let me go, clearing his throat like the time for fun and games was ahead, but we had business to take care of first.
