Loving War(26)

Our bodies thrash like it’s been years instead of almost two weeks. The build inside me comes swiftly, almost painfully, and I’m falling over the edge before I can help myself. I go limp in his arms, putting the burden of my weight on him, but he holds me up without a problem, his hips still rocking with a vicious pace. He bites on my lower lip as he grunts and goes still, and then he seals his mouth over mine for a kiss that has me almost begging for more.

“You’re not kicking me out,” he says as he comes to rest his head close to my cheek.

I grin while running my fingers through his soft blonde hair, still impaled and suspended between the wall and him.

“Nope. I plan on using you more tonight, so I need you to stick around.”

He laughs while sliding out of me and dropping me to my feet. As I start tying the robe around me again, he swats my ass, and I squeal in surprise.

“Point me in the direction of a bathroom,” he says, moving his hand down to start removing the condom.

That really shouldn’t be sexy, but somehow, Kode manages to make every action impossibly hot. Right now, I’ve almost got whiplash from how fast that all happened, and all I can think about is slowing it down the next time.

“My room is just down the hall. There’s a bathroom in it.”

He starts to walk away, and then he pulls me to him to kiss me again, grinning against my lips. “By the way,” he says as he tugs his slacks back up, “love that picture.”

I grin at his retreating figure. “Clearly,” I say with a small smile.

He laughs while disappearing into my room, and I sag to the couch. That was so not what I was expecting to happen. He looks a little preppy, which is not typical Kode, so I can’t help but wonder what I interrupted.

“Just so you know, the guys are blowing up my phone because I walked out during the middle of a golf game,” he says as he comes back into the room. His white polo shirt is untucked, but other than that, you can’t tell he just took me against the wall.

He drops down to the couch, and then he pulls me over onto him as he kicks his shoes off.

“I’m fucking starving, too,” he says, and I bite back a grin.

“Gripe much?” I ask playfully, rewarded by his throaty chuckle.

“Care if I order a pizza?”

“As long as you get enough for me, I don’t care what you do.”

He smiles against my head, and I lean into him while flipping on the gigantic flat screen my cousin made me get. Personally, I thought it was too big, but apparently guys like it.

It takes him no time to find a channel and order a pizza. We get far too comfortable on the couch, every touch feeling much too familiar and intimate. But I don’t bother analyzing it or ruining the moment with the reality that Kode Sterling and I are a match made in hell.

“That picture will pop up every time you call me now,” Kode says with a grin as he puts his phone down.

“You had better not let anyone hold your phone then.”

He snickers softly before kissing the top of my head again. I’m draped across his body, wearing nothing but my robe.

“I’m the only one who ever touches my phone, so no worries.”

I smile against his chest before turning my attention to some weird reality show. His hands are slowly caressing my body, a soothing motion that starts to make my eyes heavy.

“Dane is clearing out Silk tomorrow for Maverick’s surprise birthday party,” he says idly, now running his fingers through my hair.

My eyes are almost closed, even though it’s the middle of the day. I’ve never felt so comfortable and at ease.

“Oh?” I mumble groggily.

“Can you be there?”

My eyes go wide as I look up to meet his gaze. “I can’t just show up to a party I’m not invited to.”

“I just invited you. I’ll tell Dane I invited you because the guys and I are trying to make you more comfortable around us by including you.”

Rain probably didn’t ask me to come because she thinks I still hate the Sterling boys. They’re not as bad as I initially thought. Dale is actually almost as nice as Dane. Corbin and Maverick are surprisingly smart when it comes to business. And Kode… well, Kode has layers I didn’t know could exist inside him.

“Okay.”

He grins as he runs his hand down my ass, cupping one side with one of his large palms.

“Be warned—I plan to get drunk. And I’ll probably be all over you before the night is over. So you’ll have to get me out of there if you don’t want everyone seeing me pin you up against the wall.”

I shouldn’t giggle like an idiot, but I do. Just knowing that he’s admitting he can’t keep his hands off me is nice. Because for once, it’s me that someone sees.
