Chapter Fourteen

With how busy his work had been, adding on things the club had needed, Wick had been too tired lately to think of romance or anything to do with it. He hadn’t neglected Sloan, but he hadn’t shown her the quiet nor the softness that he sometimes did. Everything between them had been rushed, making their time alone feel like it had been borrowed.

Not tonight, he thought as they drove the last half mile home. Her hand on his thigh had him hard as a man could get. The need to crawl inside her and claim every inch of Sloan for himself had his mouth watering and his jeans uncomfortable.

But he wouldn’t rush her. He would give her the tender and the soft. Then he would give her the rough and the hard because they both deserved more than just half of what they desired. Tonight they would both get and give as they did in the beginning. As he pulled into the driveway, Wick promised himself that tonight would be the first of many things that changed between them. No more thinking everything but them came first.

Putting the truck in park, he looked over at Sloan. The glow of the truck’s interior gave her an ethereal appearance. Damn, he loved her. “Get your pretty ass inside, woman.” Wick kept the smile to a minimum, trying to be stern. The laugh that came from Sloan broke his will, and he laughed, climbing out of the truck.

Wick sent her off to grab a shower with the promise he’d join her shortly. Grabbing a strand of Christmas lights he’d stashed in the hall closet Wick took a few minutes to run them along the headboard. He grabbed a bottle of wine and two glasses from the kitchen, setting them on the bedside table.

He wanted to throw the dozen decorative pillows on the floor but took the time to put them in the corner where Sloan stored them at night. Next, he turned down the covers, making sure the scene was set for romance.

Pleased with himself, Wick sat down on the little bench at the foot of the bed and removed his boot and his prosthetic. Then stripped down to his three-quarter briefs, his leg hurting from phantom pains. Rubbing his hand along the stump, Wick massaged it until the pain eased.

Pushing up, he hopped across the room, grabbed the crutches he kept there, and moved into the bathroom just as Sloan stepped out of the shower.

“I can get back in if you’d like.” He heard her say.

“I’ll only be a moment.” Setting the crutches aside, he dropped the briefs and moved into the shower. “Sloan.” He called out.

“Are you okay?”

Wick wanted to laugh, but he hated that every time he called out for her, Sloan assumed something was wrong with him or that he was hurt. “On the bed, you’ll find what I want you to wear tonight.” He kept his body under the water as she answered him with a simple okay.
