“Yeah,” I say, walking to the couch and sitting down on the other side of the dog. Much farther from her than I want to be.
“I don’t know any of the channels,” she says, handing me the remote, but I pull her to me at the same time. Picking her up over the dog, I have her sit on my lap. Might not have been my smoothest move, and I swear it was not with her almost falling off the couch. The dogs think it was a game and rush over to us, causing her ass to fall off my lap and onto the couch. The dogs now are all over her, but she doesn’t do what I’m expecting her to do like shriek and yell. Instead, she full-on belly laughs while the dogs lick her face.
“Down,” I command them, and they jump off the couch and sit right next to her. She turns on her side, and this time, her feet are in my lap.
“I’m only supposed to kiss your master,” she whispers to them. “I’m his.” She looks over at me, and it takes me only a second to cover her with myself. What I’m not expecting is for her to open her legs for me and wrap them around my waist with her hands up by her head. My hands slip into hers, and I lower my mouth to hers. I tasted her not long ago, but the taste of her again makes me groan. I hold my weight up, and she arches her back up to me. I let her go now, kneeling on the couch between her legs. Her shirt rose up, so you see her smooth stomach, and I look down mesmerized with it. My thumb slowly rubs it. Her skin is silky and smooth and hot, and I’m in a trance at this point.
I want to raise her shirt a bit more just to rub her skin. “That tickles,” she finally says breathlessly.
“I think we should go to bed,” I say, getting off the couch. She props herself up on her elbows, looking at me, her cheeks flushed and her lips swollen from my kisses.
“Are we going to bed together?” she asks me, and it takes everything in me to answer her.
“No.” I shake my head. “I said I wanted you here, but I’m not going to push you to sleep with me.”
“You can’t force me to do anything,” she says, getting off the couch. “But if you don’t want to sleep with me, it’s all good.” She smirks at me.
“I’m going to let that slide,” I tell her, “because I don’t think you’re ready for me to tell you how much I want you.” Her eyes cloud over. “I don’t think you’re ready for me to take you to my bed because when I finally get you in that bed …” I walk to her, tilting her head up by her chin. “We’ll be in there for a while.”
“A while, huh?” She smiles, and I peck her softly on the lips. “Fine, I’ll go to my room.” She turns around, and I watch her swing her hips. “If you change your mind, you’ll know where to find me.” She looks over her shoulder. “I also should warn you I sleep naked,” she says. I squeeze my hands into fists, and she just laughs.
“Good night, Zara,” I say through clenched teeth and watch her walk to the bedroom wiggling her hand in the air. I look up again and turn to go to my room. “This is going to be fun,” I say sarcastically to myself. I throw the covers off the bed and slide in, grabbing my phone.
I text her.
Me: Is everything okay?
She answers right away.
Zara: This bed is so comfy.
Me: I’m here if you need anything.
I send her the message, and I hope to fuck she doesn’t push me.
Zara: I do need someone to tuck me in. ;)
Me: I take back that you’re sweet.
I reply, smiling. She is better than fucking sweet.
Zara: HA HA HA
I turn on my television, flipping through the channels, and I don’t even know what the fuck is on television at this time. I stop at SportsCenter and watch the highlights of the games from tonight. I see the highlights of the game from New York.
I don’t care what anyone says; Max and Matthew have the best chemistry on ice, and just watching them play, you wonder why they are going to retire, but hey, they both have more than one Stanley cup ring, so why not. Go out on a high note is what I always said. I watch SportsCenter for thirty more minutes and then realize that the dogs aren’t in my bed. I get out of bed and look on the couch and still don’t see them.
