Shortly after Logan finished bringing me up to speed with Maddy, he headed on out. Emptying my coffee, and about to grab a refill, the back door clicked open and my eyes flicked up, thinking it might be Maddy.
Nope. It was Jody.
Damn. Not that I wasn't happy to see my aunt but I was hoping to get some alone time with my girl.
However, she had brought pie, and one of my favourites too. And not long after that, Maddy came bouncing through the door, careering to a halt when she saw my aunt sitting here with me and I had to wait another hour before Jody had emptied her head of all of Lockwood's goings on.
Not that I was interested or had listened, my thoughts were all over Maddy. And as soon as the door closed behind Jody. We were both up, out of our seats, making our way to each other. Almost crashing into one another as she rose up on her toes, wrapping her arms around my neck, stealing one kiss after another.
"I've missed you so much, Jackson." Her words ghosted my lips between our kisses.
Damn, I could kiss this woman all day. Our kisses went from sweet to hot in less time that it took for my hands to cup her ass and lift her up and Maddy to curl her smooth legs around me.
It was as natural as air to walk right on out of the kitchen and head upstairs to my room and lay her on my bed, kick off my boots and climb on with her, pulling her on top of me as we made out like teenagers.
It was like she couldn't get enough of me, or get close enough. Her hot little hands roamed freely, as did mine.
When we finally took a breath, she pulled back a little, and I cupped her cheeks. "I think that's 'bout the best welcome home I've ever had." And if I thought I couldn't be any happier, she flashed me a smile that damn near had my heart stopping.
"Tell me what you've been up to." Ugh. That wasn't good. "I want to know everything," she said.
Lying wasn't something I was comfortable with. "Not much to say, Princess." Which was kinda the truth.
Her eyebrows knitted together and before she could grill me, my hands slid up to her hair, the silky, soft strands teased through my fingers and I lifted my head from the pillow, pressing my lips to hers, brushing them softly, coaxing her lips to part and my tongue to slip back inside to flick against hers.
It was one way to keep her otherwise occupied, and she didn't resist kissing me back with just as much need.
But it didn't last long as when our lips parted again, she pulled up to straddle me and her hands rested flat on my chest. "If I didn't know any better." She arched her brows. "I might think you're trying to hide something from me?"
"Me?" I clucked my tongue. "What would I have to hide?"
"Okay. Then tell me 'bout your friend?"
This again. "Later. Now, I'd rather hear about what you and Logan got up to whilst I wasn't around."
