Since when have I turned into a teenager?
“Are you asking me out on a date?” Teri asked.
“Or as friends. Either one that works for you.”
He loved her smile. She pushed some hair off her face.
“If you’re not too busy, that is,” he said.
“I’m not too busy. It’s the perfect time. I’ll hand Cole back.” She gave the boy a kiss, and Damon was not usually the jealous type, but when it came to that little kid, he was starting to have a serious issue.
He didn’t want Teri kissing any guy.
“Do you want to come in?”
“Sure.”
Teri held the door open, and he stepped over the threshold. The memory of hearing Teri play with her pussy the previous night assailed him. He wished he’d acted on it. Instead, he’d been a giant asshole and hadn’t done anything about it.
Anna was there.
“I’m going to be heading out for a while,” Teri said. “Do you need me for anything?”
“No, no. I’m good. I’m going to have a romance movie marathon.” Anna offered him a smile as she took Cole.
“I’ll go and get dressed,” Teri said.
She looked stunning in her shorts and thin-strapped top. To him, Teri always looked stunning in everything she wore.
“Teri’s a good woman,” Anna said.
“I know.”
Anna glanced back. “Treat her good. I think she’s going through something right now. She doesn’t seem herself.”
He nodded at her.
She gave him a smile before stepping back, kissing her son.
Teri joined him seconds later, wearing a pair of jeans and a long-sleeved shirt. Pity. He loved her thick, juicy thighs. He adored Teri’s curves. She wasn’t as big as her sister, but he loved her body, and she was never ashamed of it.
He missed her confidence. The way she owned a room.
The woman he saw every single day seemed to be missing something, and he hated it. He wanted to bring her back, to show her she could still have fun.
Teri said goodbye and they left the apartment, heading down toward his parked bike.
“Do you have any idea where you want to go?”
“Not a damn clue, but I just want to enjoy the open road. You good?”
Teri chuckled. “It has been too long since I’ve ridden on the back of a bike.”
Damon flung his leg over, straddling his bike. Teri joined him on the back, wrapping her arms around his waist. For a few seconds, he allowed himself the pleasure of feeling her arms around him.
That was all he needed.
Just Teri.
The way she held him. It was enough to sate the beast of need within him. With each day that passed, he felt a hunger to claim her slowly start to build. It was one he couldn’t deny.
As far as Damon was concerned, Teri wouldn’t be on the back of anyone else’s bike ever again.
She was his.
“Because you were going to kiss me?” he asked.
“You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I do know what I’m talking about, and so do you. You want me, Teri, but you’re too much of a fucking coward to go after it.”
“You’re wrong,” she said.
“I’m wrong? Then last night why did I hear you playing with your pussy, calling my name? Huh? Did I imagine that? I’d had a few drinks, but I wasn’t drunk. You want to kiss me, and I bet if you really thought about it, you want to fuck me, don’t you? I know I want you, Teri. I want you so fucking badly. Each morning, and every single night, I go to bed with my dick hard thinking about you.”
