Her smile didn’t fade in the least. “A little.”
“Good.”
His answer surprised her.
“Because I want you to feel me between your legs all day. Think of me while I’m at work and you’re sitting at our table, typing like the wind.”
Josie liked that idea too.
“And will you be thinking of me in return?” she asked.
In response, he brought her hand to his cock, which was already half-hard. “It feels like this is my permanent state now. I’m always thinking of you, and this is the result.”
It was a good answer. The feeling of possessiveness that hit Josie was unusual. But she loved it.
“You like that,” Nate said. It wasn’t a question.
Josie nodded.
“I’m yours,” he said easily. “Hook, line, and sinker. What are your plans for today?”
It should’ve felt like an awkward change of topic, but actually, it felt…domestic. “I have two movies I need to type captions for, then at two, I have a live news conference. On that missing person’s case up in Modesto. They have more details to share.”
“Don’t forget, I’m taking you to Aces tonight for dinner,” Nate said.
Josie nodded. She hadn’t forgotten. She was nervous, but also kind of excited to meet the women who Remi and Wren kept telling her about. Caroline, Alabama, Fiona, Summer,Cheyenne, Jesskya, and Julie. They sounded like people who’d be amazing friends to have, and she could sure use more.
She hadn’t had many close friends in her life, and the closer she got to Remi and Wren, the more friends she wanted who were just like them.
“You want to shower while I make you a bagel?” Nate asked.
“I’m feeling too lazy to shower right now. I’ll take one later, after the news conference. How about I get up and makeyoubreakfast while you shower?”
“Deal.”
Nate rolled until she was caged under him. “I love having you here. Waking up with you in the morning, eating meals with you, watching TV at night, being inside you and falling asleep with you in my arms. I didn’t know when I opened my eyes in that cell that you would be the woman I’d wished for all my life, but I knew you’d change my life in one way or another.”
Josie’s eyes filled with tears.
“No! Don’t cry,” Nate ordered. “I didn’t mean to make you cry.”
“Then you shouldn’t be so sweet,” she told him.
“You want me to be a jerk?” he asked with a grin.
Josie shook her head.
“I can be, you know,” he admitted, suddenly very serious.
She put a hand on his cheek and made sure she was looking into his eyes as she said, “But not to me.”
“Never,” Nate vowed. Then he kissed her hard and threw the covers back. He was naked, as was she. As he strode toward the bathroom, she eyed his ass. He even had frecklesthere, which was somehow both cute and sexy at the same time.
Nate turned at the entrance to the bathroom. “Are you checking out my ass?” he asked with a laugh.
She smiled. “Yup.” The admission wasn’t embarrassing in the least.
“Good. Glad my woman likes her man’s ass.”
