Last First Kiss Read Online Free PDF Page B

ment’s notice when another one stepped back into his life.
    Not any woman. Sophie, you idiot.
    He had a tough road ahead of him. Being around Sophie and not wanting to hold her hand, kiss, her, and yes, make love to her would be a killer. They’d never gotten to the having sex bit before. Now s he’d only been back in his life less than twenty minutes , and the blood was already rushing to his groin and cock . Just like it had been when he was a teenager and she was turning into a young lady.
    Wade signaled right and turned onto the road leading into Greenville . Just another couple of miles , and she’d be home. He assumed she’d want to stay at Mountainview. He could of course take her to his place . No, the temptation would be too great for him. If he drove her there, he’d just carry her inside, put her on the bed , and… Mountainview it was.
    He took the back road into the B and B and turned off the lights when the y got to the main parking lot. Judging b y the number of cars there, a few more guests had obviously checked in since he’d left earlier that afternoon.
    Sophie was still asleep. He hated waking her , but she couldn’ t spend all night out in his SUV . Not that he wouldn’t mind spending it with her , but by morning they’d probably both be paying the price with stiff back s and legs.
    “Sophie,” he whispered. He gave her arm a slight nudge.
    “What, where am I ? ” H er head shot up so fast, even he heard it pop . She put her hand on the back of her neck. “Ouch,” she said.
    “Hey, you okay? I didn’t mean to startle you.”
    “I’m fine. I just forget where I was at , and my neck cracked.”
    “Yeah, I heard it.”
    Without thinking about the consequences , he put his hand on the nape of her neck and began massaging it. Her body relaxed and melted into his palm.
    “ That’s the exact spot,” she said.
    “You’ve always had the softest skin I’ve known.”
    Wade leaned in, his mouth just inches from her ear. He c ould smell her perfume . If he wasn’t mistaken it was the same one she’d worn since she’d been a teenager. She asked for the same one every Christmas. It was light, smelled like fresh flowers with a touch of something exotic. Yeah, that was the smell of his Sophie, all right.
    It made him lightheaded, pushed his defenses down , but he needed to control himself. He took away his hand.
    “Let’s get you up to your room so you can get a good night’s sleep.”
    Sophie went ahead of him. H e got her bags out the back of the vehicle and followed her inside the back entrance that lead up to the owner’s section of Mountainview. He hadn’t been through this particular part of the building since the day…
    He froze on the spot.
    Can I do this?
    Could he see the bedroom where he’d le arned firsthand of her betrayal? And right now he was standing by the very bush he’d thrown up underneath when he run outside hoping it was all a horrible nightmare. He hadn’t even bothered to drive his car back home. He’d just run a mile down the road to the safety of his house and never returned to Mountainview. His dad had had to com e back and get the car for him the following day.
    Things were different now. It was water under the bridge as they said , and they were moving on.
    When he stepped inside the owner’s apartment Wade tried not to look anywhere in particular , hoping that would be enough to stop any bad memories from surfacing . He took a deep breath when he got to Sophie’s old room.
    He stepped inside and put her bags on the bed.
    The place looked exactly the same. The bed was the same. Well, two people weren’t in it making love.
    “You okay, Wade?”
    He nodded.
    “Shit, I hadn’t thought about asking you to come in here,” said Sophie. “ You haven’t been back since that day , have you?”
    “It’s okay, Soph, really it is.”
    She stepped toward h im , arms outstretched , and pulled him in close .
    Now he was a goner. He put his arms around her.
