Be With Me(66)

“That,” she gasped. “Your fingers. Touch me, harder.”

He complied, applying more pressure, and he thrust deep.

She closed her eyes and clenched her teeth together. She was rising rapidly, nearing her peak with frightening intensity. After being on the edge for so long, she hit the rise with a sharpness that was nearly painful.

He rol ed her clit hard, pressing in with his finger, finding that sweet spot. She exploded around his cock, her legs, her body, straining and spasming.

“That’s it, baby. Come for me. God you feel so good.”

She reached for his hand and pulled it away, no longer able to bear the sharp pulses shooting through her pu**y. She pulled him down to her, and he continued to thrust until he slipped out in a warm rush.

He kissed her and pushed her hair away from her face with a gentle hand. Regret shone bright in his eyes, but she put a single finger over his lips.

“I should have taken better care of you, Reggie,” he said around her finger. “You weren’t with me, and I damn sure should have made sure you were before acting like a randy teenager with his first girl.” She smiled and rubbed her hand over his cheek.

“I’m only your second girl, Hutch.”

She could swear his cheeks reddened.

“I didn’t say that to embarrass you,” she said quickly.

He smiled back at her. “I know you didn’t, baby. I’m just sorry I didn’t make it better for you.” She shook her head. “It was perfect, Hutch. You were perfect. Just perfect.”

He eased off her then looked down. “Want to take a shower with me? As much as I’d love to stay in bed with you for the rest of the night, I did promise you cheesecake and fudge.”

“Mmmm, can’t wait,” she said drowsily.

“I’l go turn on the water. Meet me in two minutes.” He stood then leaned over and kissed her brow before turning to walk toward the bathroom. She watched him, enjoying the view of his toned body.

She’d almost give up cheesecake and fudge to spend the rest of the night in bed with him. Almost.

Chapter 24

When Regina came downstairs a few minutes after Hutch, Sawyer was sitting on the couch watching television. He looked up when she stopped in the doorway.

Quiet intensity made his pale blue eyes even paler. He stared at her with something more than want or need. It was longing.

She crossed the room, and without waiting for his invitation, she crawled onto the couch next to him and snuggled into the crook of his arm.

He was warm and solid. She burrowed deeper, and he chuckled.

“If you don’t quit digging, you’re going to be underneath me in a minute.”

She grinned and laid her arm across his chest. He caught her hand in his and simply held it, lacing their fingers together.

“Where’s Cam?” she asked.

“Out firing up the gril .”

“Oh. We’l have to go out in a bit and keep him company.”

Sawyer grunted. “I’m comfortable right here.”

“Mmmm, me too, but we should go out. Crank up some music. Maybe eat outside. It’s not so hot today.”

“Sure, if that’s what you want,” he said easily.

She raised her head to look at him. “Did you get things straightened out at the job site?” He grunted again, and she smiled and shook her head.

“Your verbosity never ceases to amaze me. Of course you have plenty to say when you’re ordering me around,” she said dryly.

He laughed, and she watched in fascination as the action lifted away the darkness in his expression.

The brooding look faded from his eyes as he gazed back at her.

“I have to go back out in the morning to meet the guy from the city, but it looks like a simple miscommunication. At the worst, we lost two days on the job. We can make it up.”

She leaned up and pressed her lips softly to his.

“I’m glad you’re back. I missed you. Now, let’s go outside and find Cam.”

Sawyer studied her for a moment and then he touched a finger to her chin, tracing a line to her mouth and around her lips.

“You look . . . happier,” he said.

Before she could respond, he pushed himself off the couch. When he reached down to take her hand, she pushed him around so his back was to her. Then she stood up on the couch and hopped onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck.

He chuckled but reached around to grab the undersides of her legs with his big hands.

“Playful today, I see.”

She pressed her cheek to the side of his head as he walked toward the patio doors. “Maybe I’m just finding my way back.”

He stopped for a minute, his hand on the handle of the door. “It’s about time. We’ve missed you, baby girl.”

Sawyer stepped outside, and Cam looked up from the gril . He grinned when he saw Regina perched on Sawyer’s back.

“Where’s Hutch?” Cam asked.

“Making me cheesecake and fudge,” she said gleeful y.

Cam shook his head and rol ed his eyes. “Sugar’s going to kil you, Reggie darling.”

“Yes, but what a way to go.”

“I can think of better ways,” Sawyer said with a hint of suggestion to his voice.

She squeezed her arms a little tighter around his chest.
