CHAPTER 12

Crystal stretched against Key’s velvety length, enjoying the sense of indulgence. Waking up next to him without a hangover, knowing she had the right to turn over and touch him, was sheer luxury. Smiling, she opened her eyes. He was propped on one elbow, gazing down at her.

Crystal flinched, tightening up in self-conscious awareness.

“What? Am I snoring?”

He shook his head slightly, brushing a lock of hair away from her face. “I enjoy watching you sleep.”

Crystal’s whole body melted as a rush of warmth went to her groin. She turned into him, pulled his head down to her, and threw one leg over his body.

Key purred contentedly, but didn’t totally relax. He put his forehead against hers. “That feels good, but I have a question first.”

“Oh?” She didn’t see how anything could be as important as that delicious little curve where his shoulder met his neck and the indentation that she tickled with her tongue.

He shivered and squirmed away from her. “Yeah,” he insisted. “Are we ready to tell Shonté about us?”

Crystal froze. Then she eased back against the mattress and rubbed her face with one hand. “Oh, lord, I don’t think I’m ready for that.” She looked at him. “Do you think we should?”

“I’ll let you decide. But if you don’t want her to know, I’ve got to bounce outta here.”

He rolled off the bed to his feet. In the shadowy darkness, Crystal watched him find his clothes and get dressed with quick energy. Her mattress sank under his weight when he sat down on the edge to put his shoes on.

“Crystal?”

“Hm?” She was already drifting off again.

“There is an us, isn’t there?”

Something in his quiet tone jerked her wide awake. In answer, Crystal surged up to her knees and threw her arms around him. He twisted to embrace her.

“Oh, Emerson. I want there to be. I don’t think I can resist you.”

He kissed her with a gentle suckle of her lips. “Good,” he whispered. “Don’t analyze it. Just feel it, baby. Because I want you too.”

Tasting his mouth, she pressed her body closer to him, longing to feel him inside her again. His hand traveled up and down her naked back, but then he pulled himself away. He trailed one hand along her jawline, whispered a soft, “I know, sweetheart. Later,” he promised and then he slipped from the room.

She listened to his footsteps pound down the stairs and to the opening and closing of the front door.

Key phoned her in the early morning while she was still in bed. It was Saturday, so there was no rush to get ready for work. They talked for almost an hour about nothing in particular, simply making up for the weeks when they had been unable to be fully open with one another.

He had to go out of town with his team today, but promised to call again later.

Hanging up, she indulged in a few minutes of smiling to herself over memories of the previous night. God, they were good together.
