CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Steel watched the array of emotions flitter across Karlie's face. He knew making the assumption that she would now stay in his bed was a gamble but it was one he was willing to take. What he didn't like was the way she moved to cover herself as soon as the orgasmic haze wore off. It was something he would need to work more on. He wanted her naked, and comfortable, in his bed.

"Don't overthink it." He ran his thumb over her creased brow.

"I'm not," she immediately replied, but then looked guilty. "Okay, maybe I was a little bit."

"There's that honesty I prefer. Sugarcoating is for strangers. We're not strangers."

He realized his mistake too late.

"To me we are."

"I know." He did his best to fix his blunder. "And most of the time I remember that, but with the taste of you still on my tongue, I forgot."

The tension in her shoulders appeared to ease a bit, and he let out a silent breath. That was a close one. He almost screwed things up before he even had a second chance with her.

But her brows were still scrunched up. Which told him she was still thinking about something.

"You can ask me," he encouraged.

Steel wanted her to be comfortable enough to speak her mind. It was one of the many qualities that drew him to her that first time.

"Where were you headed when I came knocking? You'd already said good night not long before that."

Time to own up.

"I was coming to convince you to spend the night with me and to give in to your desires."

"Because I told you what Emma and I discussed?"

He could've said "yes" and avoided the whole awkward conversation about what he did but if he wanted honesty from her, he needed to give it in return.

"Not exactly, but that was part of it." He cringed. "The other reason is more devious."

Her one eyebrow rose as she waited for him to continue.

"I overheard you talking to Anna after she spit up all over me. I guess now would be a good time to mention that I have a second baby monitor in my room."

Karlie sat up and looked around. He knew the moment she saw the small monitor because her chest and neck went from simply flushed to crimson red.

"You heard me admit how badly seeing you without a shirt affects me?"

He nodded.

"Since I'm confessing. I should also mention that I jerked off to the sound of your voice. Oh, and the heat in your eyes before I left. And maybe a few memories of our weekend together."

Karlie's gaze dropped to where his erection was doing its best to escape his boxers. He hadn't thought the damn thing could get any harder, but he was wrong. His cock knew he had her attention, and it wanted more. Like maybe her mouth.

"Have you had anyone since our weekend?"

While Steel understood it was a legitimate question, it pissed him off. He thought he had done a good job expressing
