Chapter 76: No Longer the Boss

Dane

Letting her see the heat in his gaze, Dane started slowly towards her. "That," he said softly as he pulled her into his arms, "was the best phone call I've ever had."

"Ever?" she murmured, and he saw the fear in her eyes now that she had had time to think. Saw the insecurity as she dropped her head to break the gaze.

He put a hand to the side of her neck and tipped her chin up with his thumb. When she met his gaze again, he nodded. "Ever," he said firmly. Then he kissed her.

Lila clung to him and he was embarrassed by how quickly he was ready again. The poor woman was going to think he was nothing but a sex-fiend, waiting to get his hands on her. So before things got too heated, he slid her hands from around his neck, and pulled them down. "I just need to get dressed. What to do you want to do tonight?"

"I don't know…maybe just Netflix and chill?"
