“Are you okay?” Armstrong asked, his voice a loud whisper. “How is your head?”
Cradled in the curve of his arm, Danni nodded. “I’m good,” she answered. “I just needed to be near you.”
He gave her a gentle squeeze and shifted his body against her as he placed a damp kiss against her forehead. Danni eased her body up and over his. She captured his mouth, kissing him eagerly, her lips dancing easily with his lips.
Danni winced, a hint of pain shooting through her.
“Sorry! Baby, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you,” he said as he snatched his hands from her.
She shook her head. “Just not so tight. I’m a little more banged up than I realized.”
Armstrong nodded as he resumed his ministrations. His hands gently caressed her, sliding beneath her T-shirt so that his fingers heated her skin.
“You know what you’re doing to me, right?” Armstrong whispered.
She gave him a seductive smile. “I know. I’m doing it on purpose.”
