Leave it to Fate (Fate Series - Book #1)

Chapter Nineteen - Ohio is for Lovers

The ride back to my apartment, Colson couldn't keep his hands off me. He still tasted of apples and cinnamon, sweetening his kiss. I pressed my mouth against his, wanting to taste him more. His hands ran over my breasts, finding my nipples beneath my blouse. I squirmed with delight under the delicate pinch of his fingertips. Rolling my hips into his, I could feel him hard against his leg. Wanting me just as much as I wanted him.

My breath was lost, I turned to grab a gulp of air, and Colson moved to my neck sucking lightly. My lips curled in appreciation, as I slid my hand into his hair as the other guided his lower back to move in rhythm with mine. Dry humping, once seemed so silly to me, but there was something playfully amazing of the pressure alone; teasing me in all the right ways.

We both jumped as the car door opened behind us. Neither of us had realized the car had stopped. Marcus stood, door open waiting for us.

"Thanks, man!" Colson threw his arms around him, hugging him tightly.

Marcus chuckled, shrugged him off, "Goodnight Sir, goodnight Ms."

"Goodnight, Merry Christmas!" I slid Colson's arm over my shoulders, noticing his step wasn't steady and walked us into the building.

Inside, I tossed Colson off my shoulder onto my bed. He let himself fall back, extending his arms and resting them under his head.

"I love this bed." he said more to himself.

"I have a surprise for you!" I teased.

"Oh yeah, babe?" His eyes were closed but he smiled.

"Wait right here!" I said knowing he wasn't going to move anyway.

In my bathroom, I changed into a red, floral lace teddy that cupped my breasts in a way that even I was impressed. I did a check of my legs to make sure they were smooth and slide on open-toed red stilettos. Heels that I would never dare to walk in more distance than my bathroom to my bed. Hell yeah, looking good Luna! I had become perfectly comfortable with Colson, and had gained the confidence to be sexy without hesitation.

I opened the bathroom door with a flourish, presenting my surprise. When he didn't immediately jump for joy, I walked carefully to the bed to find Colson was asleep.

Are you kidding me? I thought for the second time tonight. I shook him by the shoulders a little, trying to coo but sounding more annoyed, "Colson.."

When he snored slightly, I plopped down beside him and threw off the shoes. Looking over for a final glance, to see him still asleep, I changed into sleep shorts and a thermal top. Sliding into the other side of the bed, I faced away from him, too annoyed to even move him to the pillow.

I awoke the next day to find he had moved himself up behind me, spooning close. His arm around me melted any negative feelings I had about the night before away and I snuggled closer. You're lucky I love you. I thought before drifting back to sleep.

Awaking for the second time, I found myself alone in the bed. 

Sitting up and stretching, I called out "Colson?"

"Kitchen, babe," he called back.

Following his voice, I found him shirtless cooking eggs. I could get used to this.

I slid my arms around his waist, resting my cheek against the warmth of his back.

"Good morning" he called over his shoulder. I kissed his back as my response.

"Breakfast is almost ready, then we gotta jet. Text Lorelei that we'll be there in thirty," he instructed.

"Better to tell her fifteen so she's on time," I answered, grabbing a piece of bacon I found on his right.
