laughter bubbled from me. “I
am.”
“And according to you, you always succeed.”
“I do.”
He studied the wine while swirling it in the glass. “I sat over here to
thwart your plans.”
I narrowed my eyes as I studied his face. “Why?”
“You don’t need any distractions right now.”
Spine stiffening, I lifted my chin. “Or perhaps that’s exactly what I
need right now.”
“Not my kind of distraction.”
His gaze latched onto me, and finally— finally —heat I’d dreamed of simmered in his stare. I fought the strange
desire to lower my eyes. “I never back down. Ever.”
His coy smirk sent a rush of moisture straight south to slick my
panties. “You should.”
“Oh?” I allowed my smile to grow and rubbed a fingertip along my
shirt’s drooping neckline. His attention swung downward. “And why’s that?”
“You’re messing with fire.” He lifted his gaze and scorched me with the
lust in his black eyes.
Fire? Oh yeah. My body ignited, and burning need swelled between my
thighs and settled into my clit. I got up and set my wine glass on the coffee
table while moving around it—all without breaking eye contact. Focused on his face,
I peered down at him from between his legs. “I can handle a little heat.”
“I dish out more than mere flames, little lamb.”
Little lamb—as though he imagined leading me to the slaughter. Sweet
shivers caressed my skin, hardening my nipples as we stared at each other. A
flicker of unease twinged in my stomach as his word “sordid” from the weekend
before came to mind. Was he into the whips and hot wax thing? Not a fan of
pain, I hesitated a few seconds before remembering he sat in my home. We’d be
in my bed, therefore my rules.
I took the wine from his hand and set it on the table behind me without
turning away from him. A breath later, I straddled his powerful thighs and threaded
my fingers through his hair. “I want you, Theo Risso.”
His playful smirk didn’t diminish the lust in his eyes. “Change your
plans.”
“No.” I claimed his lips, and he grabbed hold of my hips and dragged me
closer. His erection pressed against my throbbing pussy, bringing a moan
upward. One of his hands tangled in my hair and tugged my head to the side,
angling my mouth for him to take control.
My scalp stung where he pulled, but I ground against him, moaning against
his mouth. Should have worn a damn skirt, I thought while gyrating my hips. He’d had me on edge for so long…
I snaked a hand between us, grasped his hardness through the jeans, and
sucked on his tongue. Flutters lit in my stomach as he groaned and reached back
to squeeze my ass.
“Fuck,” he said against my lips the second I released my hold on his
tongue.
“That’s the idea.”
He let out a loud exhale and sat back, his fingers untangling from my
hair and smoothing the mussed strands back from my face.
Theo
She tasted sweeter than any peach I’d ever eaten, and her tiny waist
and hips molded to my grasp. The need to devour every inch of her roared
through me.
If you care about her, you’ll
stop right now.
I closed my eyes and inhaled. “This isn’t going to happen,” I said, my
voice more ragged than I expected.
“Yes it is.”
I chuckled, trying like hell to rein in my fuckin’ flying high erection.
“You are one determined woman.”
“And you are one hard-headed ass.”
Making a noise of agreement in my throat, I forced myself to slide her
back across my legs, away from my straining cock.
She leapt up, hands fisted at her sides, eyes spearing blue darts my
way. “What the hell is wrong with you?”
“Not a goddamn thing.”
“Would you prefer I was a man?”
“No.”
“Then what’s the problem? I’m more than willing. I’m wet and ready.”
Fuck . I slid my gaze down over her trembling body
and back up. Her hard nipples begged for my teeth, but jaw clenched, I
continued my slow perusal upward to peer into her eyes. “I’m not going
