“She is. She’s been sleeping in the recliner. She says she just plops down and pushes the button to lay back.”

Abby laughed. “She told me.” She reached across the console and rested her hand on Nic’s thigh. “I really like them. It was a fun evening.”

“Yeah, they’re the best.”

When they pulled up to her apartment, Abby squeezed Nic’s thigh. “I forgot my remote. You’ll need to put in the gate code.” She waited for Nic to lower her window. “It’s eight-zero-four-seven-three.”

“Pound sign or something?”

“Nope.” Nic put in the code and the gate opened, allowing them to drive through. “Will you stay?” she asked almost shyly.

“Yes. That is, if—”

“Yes. I’ve been dying to kiss you all evening.”

She got her chance a short time later when the door closed behind them. She found herself being pressed against the door. Her mouth met Nic’s in an urgent kiss, and they moaned simultaneously as Nic’s thigh pressed between her legs.

God, but Nic could get her into a heated state, couldn’t she? Warm hands shoved her bra aside, fingers brushing over her nipples. Then Nic’s tongue moved past her lips, circling her own. She moaned again, letting Nic have complete control. She felt the zipper of her jeans go down and soon fingers found their way inside. She braced herself against the door as Nic found her clit, rubbing lightly across it. Then those fingers dipped into her wetness for just a second before returning.

“I love how you touch me,” she murmured with her eyes closed.

Nic’s mouth nibbled at her neck, one hand at her breast, fingers rubbing her nipple, the other hand down her jeans. Abby was nearly breathless as Nic held her against the door, hands and mouth driving her arousal to a feverish high. Just as her orgasm was about to envelop her, Nic dropped to her knees and shoved the offending jeans down in one motion before her mouth claimed her clit, sucking it hard into her mouth.

Abby jerked once, then stilled as Nic’s hands cupped her from behind. A mere five seconds later, she climaxed, a loud “ohh” leaving her mouth as she pressed Nic closer to her.

“I’m going to fall down.”

“I won’t let you fall,” Nic said quietly as she stood again, kissing her with an exquisite softness, a kiss that told her just how much Nic cared for her. It melted her heart.

“Let’s go to bed, huh? I have all sorts of things I want to do to you.” She smiled as they kissed again. “Lovely things. It’ll probably take hours.”

“I’ve got nowhere to be.”

“Good. Because tonight…you’re mine.”

Chapter Forty-nine

“I think it’s corny when people say you glow, but I believe it now. You’re freaking glowing,” Sharon said with a laugh.
