What He Desires Read Online Free

remember.
    I slept at Tobias’ place.
    Even more, I slept with him. Again.
    Now, he’ll always be my first ‘second time’, and I’m not quite sure how to feel about that.
    His phone lights up from his side of the bed, the shrill tones making me wince as I finally notice that his arm is across my chest, pinning me down. And the same for his leg.
    Matter of fact, if he got any closer, he’d be lying on top of me.
    Mortified, I realize we fell asleep right after sex, when he snuggled up against me and I’d been too spent to push him away.
    Ugh! Snuggling!
    Not sure whether to laugh or cry at this discovery, I poke his arm as the phone peals again. “Hey, wake up. Your phone is pissing me off.”
    He doesn’t move.
    The phone goes off once more.
    He snores.
    What’s a girl to do?
    I scream as loud as possible, and he jerks upright.
    “Wha—?” His hand grabs my arm. “Joce—?”
    God, I love the way he calls me that. I especially enjoyed the way he moaned it last night as he came, the low growl in my ear filled with desire and a contentment I didn’t understand.
    “I’m fine.” I yank my arm away as the phone trills. “Shut that thing off, will you?”
    Climbing out of the bed, I head to the door, using my arms to guide my way and prevent any stumbles in this unfamiliar territory. I glance over at Tobias, his face illuminated by the screen as he taps on it with his thumb. With his other hand, he swipes down his face, no doubt trying to recover from his rude awakening.
    Reaching the door, I glare at him. “What fucking time is it anyway?”
    He laughs, returning the phone to its previous position on the nightstand. “Four. Forgot to change my alarm.”
    Oh, I could kill him right now.
    I turn the knob and exit to use the bathroom, returning a few minutes later.
    I pick up my cell, waking up the screen to use it for a light as I search for my clothes.
    “What are you doing?” His mumbled words come out of nowhere. “Get back in bed.”
    “Don’t be demanding,” I huff as I pick up my discarded shirt. “We’re not even married yet.”
    “So? Get back in bed. It’s early.”
    “Maybe it’s early for you, mister ‘I-can-afford-to-sleep-in’,” I retort as I squint, looking around for my underwear, “but since I need to go in at six anyway, I might as well stay awake.”
    He sighs. Since my experience with men only involves one night stands and Dexter, I err on the side of Dexter and assume I’m exasperating Tobias.
    He claps his hands and the lights turn on. I cover my eyes with my arm.
    “Asshole. The light is too bright!”
    I don’t even waste my time clapping my hands to turn them back off. He’ll just do it again.
    “You’ll adjust. Just use one eye at first and slowly open the other,” he responds with a chuckle. “Also, you need to get a manager to either open or close the diner. No need to work yourself to death.”
    “You know I can’t afford it.” I grumble as I lower my arm and begin dressing. “I don’t understand why you’d even suggest such a thing.”
    “I didn’t get where I am by doing it all myself. You need help.”
    It’s his parting shot as he gets up and exits the room. I finish putting on my clothing, and look down at my phone to see a text from Iris.
    ‘ C u in the morning. Hope u get some so u are less grumpy.’
    I laugh at her use of a ‘u’ in place of you, something she does deliberately because she knows it bugs me. I would text her back but she will be up when I get home.
    Tobias walks back into the room in all his naked glory. He must’ve gotten a quick shower, his hair dripping water on to his shoulders. Watching it roll down his chest has me licking my lips, wishing I could touch him with my tongue. Get naked once more, climb back in the bed, and stay there fucking until the sun comes up. Doing the one thing I love more than anything else in the world.
    He must’ve had the same idea. Before I can blink, he’s across the room and gathering me
