Chapter Five

LYMOND

Daniel’s laughter did funny things to my stomach. At the rich sound and the sight of his gorgeous smile, I couldn’t help but join in, and when Maverick curled up on the couch with the loudest huff I’d ever heard a dog make—like he was just so over us—we lost it. Daniel was in tears, and so was I. The dogs ran around the living room, sniffing, playing, tails wagging. It felt so… normal. Daniel sat on the couch, and the dogs immediately flocked to him, curling beside him, showering him with doggy kisses. Princess plopped down on his lap like she was claiming her throne. With a stupidly wide smile, I removed my coat to drape it on the back of the couch, followed by my suit jacket. Since I was feeling a little warm, I loosened my tie and undid the first button of my dress shirt so I could breathe easier. I rolled up my sleeves as I walked into the kitchen.

“Would you like a bottle of water?”

“I would. Thanks.”

I took one for myself before heading back into the living room to hand Daniel his. He just stared at it, and then his eyes traveled up my arm, his gaze making its way up my body. I couldn’t help the shiver that went through me. Daniel gently moved Princess off his lap, then stood. He stepped close, forcing him to bend his head back in order to meet my gaze. His cobalt blue eyes were stunning and filled with heat.

“Are we safe here?” Daniel asked, his voice low and throaty, his eyes dropping to my lips. All I could do was nod. “Good,” he said, taking both bottles of water in one hand and my tie in the other. He turned to lead me to the bedroom. I followed without a word. Speaking would have been quite the challenge, considering I was having trouble doing something as simple as breathing. Inside the bedroom, Daniel instructed me to close the door as he placed the water bottles on one of the nightstands. He turned to face me, his lips slightly parted as he began undoing the buttons of his shirt.

“Do you have supplies?”

I nodded and pointed to the nightstand behind him. My God, he’d reduced me to a quivering mess of need. I balled my hands into fists at my sides, deciding if something was going to happen, he would have to initiate it. I wanted him so bad it hurt, but it needed to be his decision. He needed to know what he was getting himself into, even if it was just for one night. I decided not to dwell on it, especially since my stomach knotted whenever the idea of never seeing Daniel again entered my mind. I stood unmoving as he pulled his shirt out from the waistband of his pants, and it fell open to reveal a smooth chest of soft-looking skin.

“Get the stuff,” he ordered, and I jumped to it without a second thought.
