“Will you stay after Declan goes to Ian’s house? Then we can talk.”

He leaned against the countertop, my hips nestled between his widespread legs, my hands rested on his chest, touching his soft shirt. His desire to keep Declan, to be a father figure to him was attractive. His physical nearness and freshly showered scent sent tingles through my body. Every inch of my skin was alive, my nerves all over the place, wanting to get closer at the same time I wanted to push him away. He held me in place with his fingers in my belt loops. I wanted to be with him, my desire for him overriding my sense of preservation.

“Okay.”

He smiled, satisfied by my answer. He leaned down, kissing my forehead. “I’ll go tell him Ian will be here any minute. Why don’t you get comfortable in the living room? Remotes are on the coffee table.”

“Okay.” I wanted to be here. I wanted to spend more time with him. I wanted him.

His head lowered, his lips met mine, soft, lingering as if he couldn’t bring himself to pull away. I wanted to push up on my tiptoes, wrap a hand around his neck, pulling him down to me, and kiss him like we’d kissed the other night. I wanted to feel his body pressed up against mine, my breasts smashed against his chest, his hands gripping my ass, squeezing, pulling me tighter to his body, but I hesitated, uncomfortable to take it further with Declan upstairs.

“There’ll be plenty of time for that later.” He winked, his fingers dropping from my hips.

My face heated as I took a step back.

“Let me get him moving.”

I nodded as he left the room, leaving me alone in the kitchen. Attraction was usually a game to me. I’d keep a guy at arm’s length, only letting it go as deep as I was willing to go. Somehow, I knew Griffin would be different. He demanded more. He wanted more. He knew me.

Standing in his arms, I’d felt more than I ever had with Wes. I’d never relished in the feel of his arms around me, his body cradling mine.

My fingers touched my still-tingling lips. Griffin was sweet with me.

Kisses on my forehead, short light kisses on my lips. If his tight grip on my hips was any indication, sex with him would be anything but sweet. The dichotomy intrigued me.

A knock sounded on the door, followed by Declan thudding down the stairs, then Griffin’s slower steps. I paused in the doorway to the living room, wanting to say goodbye to Declan, but not sure if Griffin wanted to introduce me to Ian’s parents.

Griffin held the door slightly ajar, so I couldn’t see past him, but I heard Ian and Declan laughing and talking. Griffin reminded Declan to behave and a female voice, presumably, Ian’s mother told him she’d call if there were any issues.

They talked a little longer about whether to sign the boys up for the same soccer team before saying goodbye.
