CHAPTER SIX

PETE

I raced around the furniture to help Jonah. “Are you okay? What the hell happened?”

He was slumped on the floor, holding his elbow. Fat tears clung to his eyelashes, and his teeth pressed his lip as if to keep from crying out.

“Shit,” I murmured, sliding down to sit next to him. I didn’t even think twice before pulling him into my arms and onto my lap. “C’mere. I’m so sorry. I should have told you there was furniture there.”

He leaned into me and pressed his nose into my neck. I felt the warm slide of his tears hit my skin.

“’S’okay,” he said. “Just took me by surprise. Sorry.”

I held him tight and ran a hand up his back and into his hair. “You’re sorry? Why? I’m the one who should be sorry.”

“I’m overreacting. I don’t usually—”

I pulled his face out of the crook of my neck and held it between both hands. His eyes were red and wet but also bright and beautiful. He was so attractive, it made my stomach clench. “Stop,” I said gently. “You’re hurt. It’s a natural reaction. Show me your elbow. Do you think anything is broken?”

Jonah shook his head. “Just hit my funny bone really hard. Made me feel like puking.” He gave me a sheepish smile. “That would have turned you on. Admit it.”

He seemed to realize what he’d said because his cheeks turned bright red. He started to turn his head away, but I held it in place.

“I was already turned on,” I said softly.

We stared at each other in an odd kind of suspended animation before we both leaned in. When I felt the touch of his lips on mine, I groaned in relief.

Finally. Finally he was in my arms where he belonged, even if it was just for today.

I kissed him like I was only going to get this one chance. His mouth was just as eager and possessive as mine. We grabbed for each other, clashing teeth and knocking noses. I didn’t care, not one bit. I only wanted Jonah Oliver as close as I could possibly get him.

“I wanted this so much,” he admitted between kisses. “Sorry. Sorry.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “Why are you sorry? I wanted you, too.”

We kissed and groped before he answered. “I didn’t mean to…” I didn’t let him finish before I kissed him again and reached for the button on his jeans.

“Can I?” I managed to ask between gasps.

He nodded, nearly knocking his head into mine. I grabbed his face again and dropped kisses all over it. His eyelids, his cheeks, his earlobes and forehead. “You’re fucking gorgeous,” I murmured into his skin. “Want you so fucking much.”

I went back to his fly. My fingers fumbled at the button and brushed against the hard bulge below. The sound of his hissing inhale turned me on even more, but we were in an awkward spot on my living room floor.

“Can I take you to bed? Please, Jonah.”

He nodded again, and I knew to dodge his head this time.
