Dirty Pucker (Denver Bashers #2)

Chapter 27

Ingrid

M y brain is foggy as I start to wake up.

Wow. I slept really hard last night.

I don’t have the energy to open my eyes, not yet. Even though I can feel the sunlight streaming through from the nearby floor-to-ceiling window of my hotel room, warming my face.

It’s morning and I need to get up. I have a flight on the Bashers team airplane to catch soon.

As I start to stir, a warm, heavy arm tightens around my middle.

My eyelids fly open. My sleepy brain catches up.

Del is behind me, cuddling me to his chest as he sleeps soundly.

Last night, we fooled around. Actually, that’s the understatement of the year.

Last night, Del rocked my fucking world. He made me come harder than I ever have in my entire life with his hands and his tongue.

It was hands-down the hottest night of my life. And we didn’t even have sex.

My pussy aches just thinking about all the filthy things we did in this bed…

I close my eyes and smile as I relax into Del’s big, strong body. I let out a soft hum at the way he cradles me in his sleep.

When we fell asleep last night, I was cuddled into his chest and his arms were wrapped around me. I figured at some point during the night, we’d end up apart in this massive bed. I move around a lot in my sleep and it’s something that’s always annoyed past boyfriends. We always end up on opposite sides.

But not Del. He’s still holding me close. And that makes me go gooey on the inside.

Another thing that makes me go gooey? How perfectly I fit against him. I savor the warmth of his bare chest pressed against my back, how his body surrounds me like a perfect cozy weighted blanket.

Behind me, I feel him start to stir. He makes a low humming noise before yawning. I feel his hot mouth on my shoulder as he dusts a kiss on my skin. He runs his mouth along the slope of my shoulder, all the way to the base of my neck. I shiver, savoring how good his lips feel on my skin.

“Morning.” His voice is a low rumble on my neck.

“Good morning.”

“How’d you sleep?”

“Like the dead.”

He lets out a chuckle, low and rough. My skin tingles. I love how he sounds in the morning.

He runs his hand lightly down my arm. Goosebumps rush across my skin, and my eyelids flutter. It makes my skin tingle and feel ticklish at the same time. It’s so soft and sweet and affectionate.

He settles his palm on my hip and kisses my neck again. I close my eyes and hum.

“How did you sleep?” I ask. “Did I move around too much for you?”

“No, I slept great.” He kisses down my shoulder and licks my skin. I moan at the tingles his kisses send all over my body.

Wow. Del is really affectionate in the mornings, and it’s so freaking cute and romantic.

“So I didn’t turn you off with all my tossing and turning?” I joke.

I feel his mouth curve up into a smile against my shoulder. “Not at all. I didn’t even notice. I sleep pretty hard. Hopefully my snoring didn’t bother you?”

I chuckle. “If you did snore, I didn’t hear it. I’m a pretty heavy sleeper too.”

“We’re a match made in heaven.”

I wiggle my hips against him and feel his dick harden. He slides his hand between my legs and presses his palm against my pussy. I gasp.

I turn my head to the side and he captures my mouth in a slow, teasing, filthy kiss. I reach my hand back and run my fingers through his hair. We make out like that for a minute before I turn around.

When I’m face-to-face with him, I take in just how handsome he is in the morning. His rich brown eyes are puffy with sleep, his jaw sports a thick layer of scruff, and he’s got that perfect, messy, just-fucked hair.

I cup his face and kiss him. Normally, I’d be self-conscious about my morning breath, but Del clearly doesn’t care. Judging by the way he’s kissing me and how hard his cock currently is, he’s not bothered by it at all.

We spend the next few minutes making out before his phone alarm goes off.

He breaks our kiss with a frustrated groan before sitting up and grabbing it from the nearby side table.

I watch, mesmerized, as the bedsheet slides down his ripped body, revealing those killer abs and chest muscles.

He frowns as he taps his phone screen, silencing his alarm. When he looks up at me, the corner of his mouth pulls up in an intrigued half-smile.

“What?”

“You look really hot first thing in the morning,” I say.

His amused smile turns wicked. He pulls me onto his lap. I rest my hands on his shoulders while straddling him.

He grips my hips, then rests his hands on my ass cheeks. “And you look like a goddess.”

My heart flutters. He is insanely sweet.

He leads me in a slow, teasing kiss. We spend the next minute making out and groping each other before his alarm goes off again.

He growls into my mouth before we pull apart.

“Two alarms, huh?” I tease.

“Yup. Told you, I’m a heavy sleeper.” He checks his phone again before turning back to me. He tucks a chunk of my hair behind my ear. “There’s nothing I want more than to spend the morning with you in bed. But we’ve got a plane to catch in an hour,” he says.

I sigh. “You’re right.”

I slide off him and hop out of bed. I grab the dress I wore last night and slide it over my head. Del throws on his boxer briefs, suit pants, and dress shirt, then walks around the bed over to me.

He grips my waist and pulls me against him. “Can I see you again when we’re back in Denver?”

My stomach flips. “I’d love that.”

“Are you free tomorrow?”

I nod. “What do you feel like doing?”

“How about dinner? And then you can show me how you play with your toys.”

My pussy aches. I bite back a grin. “Okay.”

Nerves crackle in my tummy when I think about how we’ll have to be discreet when we’re around everyone. I don’t want my cousin finding out about us and flipping out. Not that I need his permission to be with Del. But he’d be pissed if he knew about us getting together.

I walk Del to the door and open it. He stands in the doorway and leans in to give me one last hot, teasing kiss. My knees wobble. I glance at the hallway.

Del half-smiles. “What?”

“I just don’t want Theo to see us together. He’ll get upset.”

For a second, I’m nervous. I don’t want Del to think I’m ashamed of being with him. But to my relief, he just chuckles.

“I don’t want that either. I’m not in the mood to get my ass kicked this early in the morning,” he says.

I grin.

“Theo’s staying on a different floor of the hotel,” Del says. “He won’t see me. And I promise that when we’re around the team and at work, I’ll keep my hands and my mouth to myself. As difficult as that may be.”

There’s a fiery flash in his gaze that makes me giddy. I let out a breath and press another kiss to his mouth.

“See you on the plane,” he says with a sexy smile before walking off.

I shut the door behind me, then fall back into the door, my hands clutching my chest, the cheesiest smile on my face.

I let out a giddy squeal as I slide all the way to the floor. I sit there for a minute, even though I should be packing.

I can’t help it though. I’m so happy and excited that I need a moment to collect myself. I just had the most amazing night of my life with the most amazing man. Butterflies swarm in my stomach. I haven’t felt this excited about a guy in a long time.

My phone buzzes and I hop up and see a slew of missed texts from Maya and Sophie.

Maya: Hey! Wanna go to an early breakfast with Sophie and me before you fly back to Denver?

Maya: I’m assuming you’re in a dead sleep and haven’t heard your phone buzzing lol

Maya: Sophie and I grabbed a table at Salt and Ivy on the patio of Aria, join us if you wake up in time.

Sophie: So sad you couldn’t come with us to breakfast! You missed the yummiest Dutch baby pancake!

Maya: Hmmm so we ran into Blomdahl in the elevator and he said that he hasn’t seen Del since last night…and he mentioned that he saw the two of you together…

Maya: Are you currently in bed with a hockey hunk and is that why you missed breakfast with us?

Sophie: *surprised face emoji*

I chuckle and roll my eyes after reading the texts, then quickly message them back.

Me: Hey! So sorry to miss breakfast, I slept in.

Me: To answer your question about Del…no, I’m not currently in bed with him.

Me: But I was ;)

I toss my phone on the bed and check the time. I need to be out of my room and on my way to the airport in an hour. I dart to the bathroom and flip on the shower right as I hear my phone ding.

While I wait for the water to warm up, I jog over to my phone and check it.

Maya: Ingrid! You naughty girl! I knew it!

Maya: I knew it was only a matter of time before you two ripped each other’s clothes off and ended up in bed together!

Sophie: Aww you and Del are so cute together! I totally noticed the way he was looking at you last night. He is SO into you :)

Maya: I want details!

Me: How about we all meet at my place for dinner tonight? I’ll tell you everything

Me: Also, I don’t want Theo finding out about Del and me, he’ll flip his shit, so just keep this between us, okay?

Maya: I won’t say a word

Sophie: Same!

Me: Thanks 3

Maya: Can’t wait for dinner tonight!

Sophie: Me too!

I take a quick shower, do my skincare and makeup in record time, throw on some clothes, and shove all of my stuff into my suitcase and carry-on.

As I’m walking out of the hotel room, I stop when I see a to-go coffee and a note. I bend down and pick them up.

I see the to-go coffee order scrawled on the cup.

Americano, splash of oat milk.

I read the note.

Hope this helps you feel less like a zombie :)

-Del

I’m grinning like a goober. He remembered what I said when we first met almost a month ago during that meeting in my office, when I joked about how addicted I am to coffee. I can’t believe he remembered my coffee order. And that random comment I made.

My heart flutters at the same time that my stomach flips.

Del is as sweet as he is dirty, and it’s my favorite combination.
