“That’s all I want to do, Libby. Every second of every day. Your hands on me isn’t gonna change that. Or make me want you more than I already do. Trust me, it’s not goddamn possible, princess. You hear me?”
In an embarrassing twist, she groaned her reply. Actually groaned. Right there on the dancefloor. Like a sex-crazed animal who was too far gone for actual words. And he wasn’t done with her yet. Biting down on her earlobe, she let out a gasp which quickly morphed into a whimper as his tongue darted out to soothe the sting.
“We had a deal, darlin’. Friends. Nothing more and nothing less. If you want more than that, then we play by my rules. You already know my terms. All you have to do is say the word.”
No. No. And hell no.
Luckily, she was far too stubborn to give in to her starved libido.
Moving her abused ear away from Zach’s scandalous mouth, she twisted until they were face to face again. This time, she let her nose brush against his and her mouth hover so close she could already taste the tingles. She didn’t move. Didn’t speak. She simply let her breath tease his lips.
It was only when his breathing grew shallow that she allowed a smile to tip up one side of her mouth.
Finally.
Closing the minuscule distance, she let her lips graze his and spoke into him, trying her best to push aside the overwhelming need that surged through her as their mouths met again.
“Okay, Zach. Friends it is.”
Once she was sure she was going to leave him panting, she broke their connection. All it took was one very large step back. Turns out physical distance really did make all the difference. She could finally think straight again.
This wasn’t over, though. He only thought he had control. Judging by his current pained expression, he was hanging on by a thread.
CHAPTER SIX
Zach was the closest he’d ever been to losing his shit. Ever. It hadn’t been enough that Libby had practically tortured him on the dancefloor last night, now she was prancing around his family yard in nothing but a skimpy yellow sundress.
Of course she got on well with his mom. And of course all of his brothers were checking her out. Thank God only one of them was single or he’d be screwed.
He’d spent the entire week replaying that night in her kitchen. Over and over again. He deserved a goddamn medal for his self-control. Especially after last night, when it was blatantly obvious she was hoping he’d change his mind and go with option number two. Oh, how he’d like nothing more than to give in. Take what he wanted. But, no. Walking away wasn’t an option now, so walking away after finally getting her into bed would be a hard hell no. He was playing the long game. She was worth the wait.
Lifting his gaze from the grill, he caught sight of Luke sporting the widest grin he’d ever seen on his friend. And it was directed at Libby. That only pissed him off further. Luke wasn’t exactly known for his bubbly personality, so to see him smiling like a kid in a candy shop meant only one thing.
Son of a bitch. He better not be hitting on her or I’ll kick his ass.
“That’s one fine looking woman,” a familiar voice drawled.
