Tethered (Book Two of The Invisible String Series)

Here We Go Again

Smirking, I push myself up just enough to press my lips to hers, slightly amused when she chases my lips after we part. "Maybe, but I am your dork, and you have to put up with my dorkiness for the rest of our lives."

"I know, I'm starting to think saying yes might not have been my best idea."

I scoff, playfully shoving the blonde backwards before I sit up and slide off the bed, the sounds of her giggles echoing behind me as she remains laying on the bed. "Rude! I'll just go home and leave your annoying ass here then."

I hear the sound of her shuffling off the bed and turn around just as she jumps at me. I let out a grunt as I barely manage to catch her in my arms and steady the both of us before we almost go tumbling to the trailer's floor. Her long legs hook around my waist, and I tuck my arms under her butt to keep in place as she wraps her arms around my neck. "Excuse you, you're not going anywhere."

Letting out a chuckle, I give the woman in my arms a tight squeeze before making my way over towards the couch and the almost forgotten bag of takeout food. "Alright, my little koala, you need to eat something before your lunch break is over."

"Or I could just have you for lunch."

I make myself comfortable on the couch, letting out a light laugh at the blonde's words as she moves off of my lap and into the spot next to me, already digging through the takeout bag. "As much fun as that sounds, I am not on the menu right now, my love."

Lizzie pouts over at me as she hands me my food, causing me to laugh once more as I shake my head at her antics. "But you look good enough to eat."

"Thank you for the compliment. Now eat your food."

The blonde huffs, narrowing her eyes at me before digging into her food. I didn't get much for myself since I ate a late breakfast this morning before the interview, so I simply snack on my fries as I watch the woman across from me as she practically scarfs down her food. "Babe, slow down. Why are you in such a hurry?"

My question is ignored as Lizzie finishes off another bite of her food before tossing the still half-full container down onto the coffee table in front of us. In a split second my own hands are free and the blonde moves to straddle my lap, her hands settling on either side of my neck as she presses her lips to mine in a hungry kiss. I want to scold her for eating so quickly just so that she can make out with me, but the words quickly disappear from my thoughts as Lizzie breaks away from the kiss just to nudge my head to the side so she can attach her lips to my throat.

I let out a gasp as she nips at a particularly sensitive spot, squeezing her hips. "Lizzie, baby, you really need to-."

"Shh. I'm busy."

Despite the fact that I'm slowly losing control over the situation, I half-heartedly give the blonde's hips another squeeze only to let out a groan as her hips roll into my own. "This is not how you should be spending your lunch break."

Lizzie pulls away from me, leaning back just far enough to level me with a glare. "We only have two days left before you leave for tour, and then I won't be seeing you for a whole month until Easter. Let me have my fun."

Okay, so maybe she has a point. There's no telling me we're going to be alone again, and god knows it's going to be hard as hell to go a whole month without getting to see and touch her.

I give her one tap on her butt to let her know to hold on before I stand up, her arms and legs tightening around me as I walk us back through the trailer to the bed. Her lips find mine once more and I somehow manage to concentrate long enough to get us both onto the bed and to settle myself on top of her, her lips never once leaving mine.
