Rhodes's lips turn upwards into a soft grin as he shakes his head. Though the lighting is low, I can still see the slight twinkle in his eyes as he looks down at me.
"You bring it out of me, from somewhere. Come on, walk me to the door so I know you've locked it after I go," he says before standing back upright. I pull myself out of the bed and follow him out of the bedroom to the front door.
"I'll see you in a few days," he says softly as his arms go around me once we reach the front door, pulling me tight against his chest. My arms are wrapped around his lower waist as I rest my head on his chest. I savour it for a moment or two before he speaks again, creating a bit of distance between us so he can see my face.
"Be nice to people and look after yourself, don't burn yourself out. Let me know that you've got there." I smile up at him before I lean upwards on my tiptoes and press my lips against his. His hand cups my cheek as he leans his head down, allowing my feet to drop back down flat onto the floor. His tongue flicks against my own after I part my lips to allow it in, winding my fingers into his hair. Fuck, I wish we had longer than two minutes.
"Lock the doors and stay away from Ryan," he smiles down at me and runs his fingers down the length of my hair. I laugh gently and roll my eyes before nodding my head.
"Yes sir," I grin. My body is pressed against the back of the door as Rhodes's lips reattach to mine in hunger, a soft growl emanating from his chest as his hands slide down to cup my bum in his hand. It's far more intense than our kiss just prior, and it ignites the familiar fire in my belly as Rhodes's body is pressed flush against mine.
"Do not call me sir when I'm about to leave, it does things to me," Rhodes says gruffly, making my heart race and my stomach twist. I might have to utilise that information when he gets back home. I resist the urge to say 'yes sir' again, I don't want to be the reason he's late for his flight. I'm itching for him, but I have to resist.
"I'll see you soon," I tilt my head to the side and smile at him sweetly. I push my back off from the door and unlock it, swinging it open. Rhodes places a kiss on my forehead and wanders slowly out the door.
