Maizy the Bear Charmer(Diving Creek Ranch 16)(74)

His green eyes sparkled like peridots as he smiled at her and laid a sweet kiss on her lips that turned white-hot as she sank her fingertips into the short hairs at his nape. “You’re all mine tonight, baby.”

“I know. I’ve been looking forward to tonight as well. Where are Cody and Spencer? I was hoping to catch them before they left for work.”

“Right here, Maizy,” Cody said, sounding amused as he added, “If Heath will stop mauling you and share.”

Heath turned with her still in his arms and said, “Hey, if you were holding this luscious little angel you wouldn’t want to put her down either.”

“Little, my ass,” she said through a giggle.

Still holding her to him, Heath turned bedroom eyes on her and said, “Your ass. Mmmm, maybe not little, but certainly luscious.” The way he said the last word made her think he wanted to take a taste just to test the theory. He set her down and she turned to Cody.

“Thank you so much for my gifts, Cody. I was so surprised. They caused quite a stir in the office.”

Cody caressed her cheek and lifted her chin for a kiss. His dark brown eyes gazed into hers. “Any problems there?”

“None. Lots of curious coworkers but that’s to be expected. We don’t get that many deliveries at the school,” she said, caressing the side of his head. His shoulder-length hair was pulled back in a low ponytail at the base of his neck and he had on a snug black T-shirt, leathers, and boots. “You look sexy as sin, Cody. I’m so glad I caught you before you left for work.”

“I am, too. We leave in just a few minutes. What do you have there?”

Heath lifted the box down and grinned. “It looks like all her goodies.”

“I didn’t go home before coming over and I don’t want my beautiful flowers to wilt. My cupcake is also in there.”

“You didn’t eat your cupcake?” Cody asked, as he kissed her again, spinning a web of sensual delight around her, making her regret she’d have to let him go soon.

“Huh? Oh, the cupcake. It’s so pretty I couldn’t.”

“But you should eat it while it’s fresh.”

Heath growled and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll eat it off of her bare sexy torso tonight for dessert. I might even share a bite with her.”

Maizy giggled and kind of hoped he did just that.

Once inside the house, she found Spencer, in the steamy bathroom down the hall. “Hello, beautiful,” he murmured with a soft smile as she came to him.

He stood there bare-chested in his unbuttoned black leathers. She bit her lip as she stroked his furred chest and kissed the hollow at the base of his throat before curling into his arms. “You’re so wonderful,” she whispered. “Thank you so much for everything. Jayne told me the book was your idea. I love it.”

He squeezed her and she rubbed her nose against his chest hair and took in a deep breath of his fresh, soapy-clean scent. His body wash had a hint of something woodsy, like teak or cedar, and it suited him well. He kissed the top of her head and said, “I thought about you a lot today.”

He didn’t say anything more and she looked up at him. The soft desire in his eyes said everything she needed to hear. Spencer didn’t necessarily need words to convey what he was thinking.

The heat growing inside her increased as he brushed his lips against hers, licking and tasting her before exploring deeper, sliding his tongue against hers in a gentle assault that made her weak in the knees and wet between her thighs. She’d never known men who had such finesse in the kissing department. “We have to leave soon. Have Heath show you the work on the deck. Did you bring your swimsuit?”

“I did. I packed it this morning just in case.”

“Have fun,” he said, his warm, citrine-colored eyes sparkling with humor. “Or should I say have fun trying to keep the suit on. Heath has been an eager horndog all day.”

He yawned as he walked her down the hall after pulling a black T-shirt over his head and tucking it into his leathers. She yawned sympathetically and they both laughed.

“Did you get any sleep last night?” he asked as he slung his arm around her shoulders and squeezed her to him.

“I tossed and turned. You?”

“The same. I finally gave up around five and got back to work on the deck. I think you’ll be surprised when you see how much progress we’ve made. I wish we could stay and show you but we need to get to the Twisted Bull.”

Heath had her box unloaded in the kitchen and was sniffing the opened cupcake box. When he saw her, he made a growling sound and said, “You and me, baby. Dessert.”
