Page 112 of Reckless Kisses
“I love this side of you,” I informed her.“Know that you’re the only woman for me.”I laughed and kissed her forehead.“Come on, we’ve done our bit.Time to leave.”
On the drive home, I regretted my decision to have a drink.I would have preferred to be alone with Amy in my own car.We were in the back seat of an Uber, and she kept looking out the window.At least that was what I thought.I realized almost halfway home that she was actually asleep.Even better—that way she’d have energy once we arrived at the house.
As the car slowed, I patted her shoulder, then brushed my fingers down the exposed side of her neck.
“Amy, we’re home.”
She immediately startled awake.“Oh, I...What?”Then she looked up at the house.“We’re here.”
I laughed.“Yeah.I just said that.”
“Have a great evening,” the driver said, tapping his hands on the wheel, clearly impatient to get paid and get to his next fare.
Amy opened the door and immediately got out.I followed her, and the second I tipped him and closed the car door, he drove off.
“Did you have a nap too?”she asked as I unlocked the front gate and we stepped into the yard.
“No.”
“Pity.”
“Why?”I asked, placing a hand on her lower back and guiding her toward the house.
“Because now I havea lotof energy, and you don’t.”She winked at me.
I laughed, then spoke right into her ear.“Don’t worry, Amy.I have so much energy that I could fuck you six ways to Sunday.”
She giggled, putting a hand over her mouth.“No matter how sassy I am, you’re even better, huh?”
I just kissed the side of her neck in response.
Once we were inside the house, she threw her bag and jacket on the console by the entrance.I followed suit, tossing my jacket on top of hers along with my bow tie as she lifted her arms and started spinning around.
“This place is amazing.”
I liked seeing her happy.She fit here so well.Shebelongedhere, and I wasn’t going to let her leave this place.
I followed her as she stopped in front of the large picture window, looking out.It was pitch-dark, but the moon was shining over the ocean.
“I want to come home to this every night.”
She stiffened.“What?”
“To you here in this house.”
“Knox...,” she whispered.
“Move in with me.”She was silent, so I prodded.“Did you hear me?”
“I heard you.I just...I’m processing this.Are you sure?”
“Fuck yes.”I kissed the side of her neck, then found the zipper of her dress, slowly sliding it down.I’d never wanted to live with anyone, but I wanted to share everything with Amy.And I wanted to spend as much time with her as possible, which wasn’t realistic if we didn’t live together.
“I’ll gladly accept and move into this beautiful house,” she murmured.“It won’t be a hardship at all.There’s only one thing.”
“What?”
“Tell the truth.Do you intend to keep me naked at all times?”
