THE NEARNESS OF YOU

THOMAS

I’d done the right thing. A pressure valve that had begun building in me over Kick’s safety was released when she accepted my proposal. It turned out I wasn’t the modern man I thought I was. I needed Kick to be my legal kin, and it had to happen before I found the results of her DNA analysis. For my sake more than hers. If I had to take care of her fragile, aging body the way Banger occasionally did for his former girlfriends, I’d do it with joy. It would be an honor.

We were swarmed by the crowd in the Perked Cup, small as it was. It took ten minutes to make our way from the stage to the counter to get drinks. Loved ones and strangers alike—who came for the Open Mic Night—stood in a reception line to give us hugs and congratulations.

When an opening to the back hall was made, I took advantage, pulling my new fiancée with me. Banger’s profile caught my eye as he spoke to Deana and her husband. Damn him for arriving so late he almost missed it. Despite his recent travels, he’d promised to be here for the proposal. Securing his support in all of this had meant more than I could express.

The part I hadn’t considered? The downside to a public proposal? The part that was drastically different from the first time we promised to be together?

I didn’t factor in how horny I’d be.

We were real, not a fling or a hidden affair.

Real.

Kick.

My woman.

She wore my fucking ring. I needed to celebrate inside her. I had to unwrap her, tear away her pretty, satin-and-lace bra—knowing she’d fuss at the waste—and make her orgasm all night. I hoped the office cameras were off. I opened the door, spun us around, and lifted her up against the wall. The slit to her skirt fell away for me, rising to her waist, letting me rub against the satin of her underwear. My hand holding her steady touched the wetness in the material, causing a growl of desire from us both.

Kick batted at my hands, but her eyes held no anger, only teasing. “I should stop you. Make you suffer.” She panted.

“Me? For what? Outside of blowing your mind with a fabulous proposal?” I asked between kisses I peppered down her neck.

“You stole my thunder. I poured my heart out in song, and you upstaged me.” Her writhing in my hands told me I wasn’t in trouble. Yet I felt bad. A little.

I smiled against her neck. “The ring makes up for it, doesn’t it?”

She gasped as my fingers found her sweet spot, letting me know I was right.

My free hand sought the bow of her sweater. I needed more arms, dammit. With my present unwrapped, I kissed Kick down her chest. My free hand reached around to her bra hooks. There were too many. Damn, these long-line things.

“I loved your song,” I said as I worked the tormenting clasps. “Especially the banshee notes in the middle.
