“Here to pick up our Rosabelle?” she asks Blaze, and he smirks.
“I brought food.” He holds up a bag and Rie snatches it from his hand.
“He’s a keeper!” she calls out as she walks out because she’s already running late for class. I’m sure she’ll text me later for more details.
“Thanks for the tip.” Blaze steps inside and I grab my purse.
I told him about Rie last night and we both shared about our families. Blaze’s parents sounded so wonderful but my heart hurt that he lost them. I told him Rie was my family and I couldn't be done with my parents any faster than they could have been done with me. Rie and I would be together forever, so of course I told him he’d have to win her over. The fastest way would be food and it looks like he really was listening.
“What about me?” I tease, but just then he grabs me around the waist and pulls me against him. His mouth comes down on mine and he kisses me until I’m breathless.
“Got your food in the truck.” His hand slides into mine and our fingers tangle together as we walk out of my apartment building.
“You okay?” I ask, giving his hand a squeeze.
“I’m a little tired but I’ll be fine.”
“Have you slept?” Normally I take the bus or catch a ride with Rie, but when Blaze offered to take me to work I jumped all over it. I wanted to see him as soon as I could and didn’t think about him not getting much time to rest.
“I will after I drop you off,” he reassures me as he helps me into his truck. We drive in silence but guilt nags at me.
“Are you not hungry?” He pushes the bag of food at me.
“Thanks,” I say, taking the bag but not feeling so hungry anymore. “This was really sweet of you.” Not only has he not gotten any sleep, he stopped and got both Rie and me breakfast. “I’m sorry.”
I drop my head and feel more guilt. He pulls up to the office building at my work and takes a spot. He was probably up all night doing paperwork and I was selfish enough to take him up on driving me to work.
I look up when my seatbelt unclicks and in the blink of an eye I’m in Blaze’s lap.
“What the hell are you sorry for?” he asks. “I’m the one trying to make up for our date getting side tracked.”
“I don’t care about that,” I gasp. “I could have taken the bus or rode with Rie. You should be sleeping!” It was silly for him to stay up just to take me to work, and it was greedy on my part.
“I promise you, beautiful. I would have never gotten any sleep if I knew I was missing out on having even a few minutes with you.” I melt into him. Gosh, he always says the sweetest things. This man is going to be my undoing. “I’ll sleep later,” he adds before he kisses me.
I moan as his fingers dig into my hair and I wiggle against him, letting out a gasp when I feel his hard cock press into my hip. I rock against it, wishing there were no clothes between us, wishing more than anything we were back in my apartment alone where no one and nothing could interrupt us.
“We gotta stop,” Blaze says between kisses but he doesn’t pull back. In fact, one of his hands goes to my ass to help me rock against him, making me moan again into his mouth. It isn't until I hear a car horn honk from somewhere in the distance that I jerk back from the kiss. Blaze’s hair is a mess from my fingers and I’m sure mine isn't any better. My mouth feels swollen but worse is the need still throbbing between my legs that I know there’s nothing we can do about right now. Reality sneaks back in on us once again.
“I’ll pick you up after work. I got you lunch in the bag too,” he tells me before kissing my forehead and then putting me back into my seat.
“Thank you,” I manage to say and grab my purse and the bag of food. He comes around to open my door for me like he always does.
He brushes his mouth against mine once more before I head into work on wobbly knees. Once again I see the girls watching me and I inwardly groan because I have a feeling they saw what Blaze and I were doing in his truck. One of them opens their mouth and makes a comment that confirms my thoughts.
This is going to be a long day. But at least at the end of it I’ll have Blaze. I have to keep reminding myself of that because I know they are all going to give me hell.
