inside your closet.”
“Not unless someone else put them there. Anyway, I know what you’re doing. And be ready by 4pm, it starts at 5pm.”
“You assume too much, I might be busy.”
“Again, I repeat my earlier words. Bitch alert.” I try to hold in the smirk but the edge of my mouth curves up.
“Fine, I’ll go with you. But expect the questions to come hard and fast.”
“Hmmm, about hard and fast,” Jeremy looks around and seems a little embarrassed. “I’m truly sorry about that.”
“Forget it, Jeremy. I’ll only bring it up when you deserve it.”
“Enough talking, Frankie. I’m going to kiss you now and you’re not going to stop me. Not because you can’t say no, but because you don’t want to say no.”
Before I say a word, Jeremy’s lips meet mine. I close my eyes and lean into him as he leans into me. His hands come up to cradle my head as he laces his fingers through my chestnut mid length loose curls. He sucks my bottom lip into his mouth while his hot tongue slowly teases me to give him more access. My own tongue dashes out and licks his, I bite down on his lip and Jeremy rumbles as his soft lips kiss down to my chin. I tilt my head back and the tip of Jeremy’s tongue draws a leisurely line from my chin down towards the neck line of my dress. He stops along the way to suck and nibble on my collarbone, but when I arch my back and push into his mouth a little more, he continues the torture a little further down, again stopping to suck on the skin just above my breast.
“Fuck, don’t stop that.” I groan, barely making sense with my words.
“I have to,” he pulls away from me, leaving my body combusting with a scorching inferno and craving for more of him.
Opening my eyes, Jeremy’s sitting next to me; he leans in and kisses me on the cheek, leaving the warmth of his lips connecting with my own blazing skin. “I really want to take you home.” He mumbles as the heat of his breath sends a shiver through my entire body.
“Not tonight. Apparently I need to get myself home and ready for a benefit tomorrow night.”
“Lie with me, Darling,” he reclines on the picnic blanket and puts his arm out for me; I curl into his side and notice something. We fit together quite perfectly, like we’re made for each other. I realise what I just thought and shake my head, like I’m discreetly trying to dislodge the image from my brain. I mean, I’ve never been twinkle lights and sugar cubes so I’m not sure where this sweet side has come from. “Tell me something about yourself that you can tell me.”
“You piss me off and turn me on. Simultaneously.” I turn into him and wrap my arm around his chest. He’s got one arm cradling me around my back and his other hand starts drawing lazy shapes on my arm over his chest.
Jeremy chuckles at my statement. “You really surprise me; I’ll have to learn to expect anything out of that sexy mouth. I like your sexy mouth, matter of fact there isn’t much I don’t like about you.”
“Are you saying that there’s something you don’t find endearing?”
“That lack of filter infuriates me but also has me totally enchanted and bewildered. And damn, Darling, I can’t wait until that mouth of yours is wrapped around my cock.”
I don’t say anything else; I just lay there as Jeremy’s hands touch over my flaming skin. My blinks start to get longer; Jeremy turns his head and kisses my forehead. My body totally relaxes in strong arms and a light slumber finds me on this early summer’s night.
Chapter 8
“Darling, wake up.”
“Mmmm.”
“Come on I’d better get you home.”
Heat.
Warmth.
Kisses.
I feel it all and I don’t want to open my eyes. “Mmmm,” I groan again. Opening my eyes I look into the pearly gaze of Jeremy. “Your eyes are truly an amazing color, Senator, a cross between molten silver and sky clouds.”
“I’m impressed, Frankie. Two fairy dust references within hours of each
