Chapter 21
Kelly knocked on Parker's apartment door. The shift had gone from bad to worse, and he needed more time with Philip. He just hoped Parker would give it to him.
She opened the door and saw his face. She held out her arms as he stepped inside. He hugged her for a few seconds. She seemed to know he had had a bad shift. "You can use my room. Go take a nap," she said softly.
"You don't mind?"
"No. I'll keep him quiet while you sleep."
"Thanks," he said as she stepped back.
"You want some breakfast first?"
"No thanks. I'll eat when I get up."
"Clean towels in the bathroom if you want to shower," she offered.
"You wanna shower with me?" he offered, his blue eyes twinkling and his smile getting wider.
"Tempting, but not today."
He took a step toward her. "Parker," he whispered before his mouth covered hers.
She wanted to stop him. She wanted to push him away, but she couldn't. He always had that effect on her.
Kelly knew he had her. He could tell by the way she was kissing him back that she wanted him as much as he wanted her. Comfort sex was always good sex. She pulled back, and turned away. Kelly caught her hand.
"I have to check on him," she said quietly.
Kelly followed her to the nursery. Philip was on his back sleeping like he didn't have a care in the world.
"I just put him down about half an hour ago," she whispered.
"How long does he usually nap?"
"About 2 hours."
"That give us an hour and a half," he said as he rubbed her shoulders.
Parker leaned back against him. She wanted to be strong and resist him, but she couldn't. Making love with Kelly was an experience she would never forget. She sighed. He was offering. She was fighting accepting. Kelly pulled her hair aside, and kissed her neck. She let out a low, throaty moan. He picked her up and tossed her over his shoulder and carried her to her bedroom. She knew she was going to regret making love with him later, but for the present, she was happy to let him take the lead.
"You'd better have a condom in your wallet," she reminded.
"Relax. I've got this," he said as he laid her on the bed and slid on top of her.
Parker watched him strip. She sucked in her breath. He was so sexy. She wondered why someone as good looking, hot, and sexy as him would want to sleep with her. Kelly kissed her, and she lost all ability to think. All she could do was feel his lips on her mouth.
"Love you," he whispered.
"Love you more."
