He opened his mouth, his eyes wide and horrified. “What? But you already spend almost every ni—“
She shook her head, cutting him off. “It doesn’t matter, Matt. No girl wants her boyfriend to ask her to move in like that and just assume everything. Ask me properly and you might get a better answer.”
He at least had the grace to look a little sheepish. He took a deep breath and reached for her hand, looking into her eyes, an earnest expression on his face. “Hannah. I love you. Can we find a place to live together? I don’t care if it’s here,” he gestured toward the house, “or somewhere else. I want you in my bed every night, and when I’m away on a trip, I want to know that you’ll be there when I come home. I hate the nights when you stay at your apartment because you have to get up early or you feel guilty leaving Elena alone all the time—which I don’t think she minds all that much, by the way. Say you’ll move in with me, and we’ll figure out the other details later.”
She fought it for as long as she could, but her grin finally spread across her face, unable to hold it back any longer. “Of course I want to live with you. Let’s figure out where to live together.”
He growled at her smile, pulling her close and kissing her. “That’s not nice, Hannah.”
She laughed. “Oh, come on. You love it when I bust your balls like that.” She kissed him and pulled back, pitching her voice low. “Besides, it always gives you an excuse to spank me afterward, and we both know that’s your favorite thing.”
His eyes flashed, his pupils dilating with arousal, and his eyebrows went up. “Oh, it’s my favorite thing, is it?”
She nodded, shivering at the rasp of his words in her ear.
“From the way your body reacts, I’m pretty sure it’s your favorite thing, too.”
She didn’t deny it, just kissed him back. His plan did sound like a good one, her and Elena moving in here with him. They’d even have an extra room to make into an office for Matt, since she and Matt would share a room. She was pretty sure Elena would say yes since rent would be cheaper than what they paid at their apartment.
But she would talk to her about that later, finish making plans afterward, because right now, Matt was dragging her out of the pickup and up the steps into the house where she knew he’d have his way with her in the best way possible. And she couldn’t be happier.
