Charm Me Excerpt
“Mmm…Jamie…your alarm…”
Rolling over, he slapped the damn clock to get it to shut up.
He was thoroughly exhausted, but for all the best reasons, and as he rolled back over and pulled Fallon into his arms, he seriously considered calling in sick today. She was all warm and soft and sleepy and this was just the best way to wake up in the morning.
Glancing at the clock, he knew he had about an hour before he had to leave, but Asher would be getting up soon.
Then take advantage of this moment, he told himself.
Carefully, he rolled Fallon beneath him and began kissing his way down her curvy body. Honestly, he had no idea she had all these curves, and he was loving every second he got to explore them.
She hummed softly. “Mmm…not that I’m not loving this, but…shouldn’t you be getting up?”
Chuckling against the smooth skin of her belly, he said, “Believe me, I’m up.”
“Only you could make such an immature comment sound sexy.”
“Again, part of my charm,” he replied as he kissed his way lower.
All her movements were slow and languid and made her completely pliable under his touch.
“Asher’s going to be awake soon…”
“Then we better make this fast,” he said as he made his way back up her body and kissed her soundly.
And then it wasn’t quite as fast and frantic as he imagined, but it was infinitely better. The feel of her legs wrapping around him, the sound of her soft sighs…it made him want to savor every moment. They moved together as if they’d been making love for years instead of hours, and he swore sex had never felt like this.
Because there’s a connection there…
And there was—one that was growing stronger every day, and instead of freaking him out, he was really finding the appeal in it.
In her.
Fallon Murphy was becoming something vital to him, and he hoped he hadn’t screwed things up so much in the past that she couldn’t see a future with him.
Okay, take the sex goggles off, dude. A future? Really? Don’t you have enough on your plate?
Pushing those thoughts aside, he finished loving her and making sure she started her day knowing how amazing she was.
Breathlessly, Jamie rolled off of her and did his best to catch his breath just as they heard Asher fussing through the baby monitor.
“Wow…what timing, huh?” she teased before rolling off the bed and stretching.
She was gloriously naked and even though he’d just been enjoying every inch of her body, he watched with pure appreciation as she moved around and picked her nightie up off the floor and slid it on. Then she walked over and gave him a rather chaste kiss.
“Go and take your shower and I’ll take care of Asher.”
When she was out of the room, Jamie simply stayed where he was, staring up at the ceiling. His mind instantly went back to what he was thinking about minutes ago.
It wasn’t that he was looking at this situation through sex goggles—although the sex was so freaking good that he knew he’d be sporting a hard on all day—he was finally looking at his life a little more seriously.
Asher’s arrival on his doorstep did that.
It was finally time for him to grow up and stop goofing around, time to start thinking about his future. He had a son to consider, and if he were brutally honest, it had been a long time since meaningless hookups and no-strings-attached relationships were fulfilling. To the rest of the town he might be a shameless flirt, but what most of them never knew was that most of the time, things never went beyond that. He hadn’t really dated anyone in months.
Since Jenn.
And it wasn’t because there were any lingering feelings there—because there weren’t. It was more because it was the first time a breakup didn’t go the way he wanted. They didn’t part as friends and it wasn’t smooth and it left him feeling uneasy.
More with himself than anything else.
What would have happened if he had found out sooner that she was pregnant?
He’d like to think that other than knowing about Asher’s arrival, not much else would have changed. He never would have asked Jenn to marry him, but he supposed it would have been nice to have a little more advance notice about becoming a father.
The bedroom door opened and Fallon walked in with the baby. She’d put her robe on to cover her sexy attire and all he could think was how that was a damn shame.
“Is everything okay?” he asked, sitting up.
“Just making sure you didn’t fall back to sleep,” she said with a knowing smile. “I know neither of us got much sleep last night.”
“And it was well worth it.” Kicking the blankets off, he walked over and kissed the top of his son’s head before giving Fallon a kiss that was borderline dirty, and he groaned. “You have no idea how much I want to say screw it and stay home all day. You and I could take advantage of Asher’s naptime.”
“As tempting as that sounds, you know it’s not the right thing to do. Not on short notice. Maybe see about arranging for a day off another day so we can plan something and play another day.”
He pouted. “But I want to play now.”
She playfully patted his cheek. “Aww…poor baby.” And with a sassy wink, she walked out of the room.
With no other choice because she was right, he turned and went to take a shower.
It was going to be a long day.
