“I hope so.”
Tristan noticed the box she was holding. “What’s that?”
She held it out toward him. “It’s a flag flown over the White House this morning. I’m not sure how the President pulled this off so fast.”
“She’s the President. She can do whatever she wants.”
“Yeah, I guess.”
A small group of people walked by them. Tristan took Giselle’s hand. “Come with me.” He guided her to a small room and shut the door behind them.
“Um, okay. Did you have something to say to me that you couldn’t say out there?” Giselle asked.
“No. There was something I needed to do.” He took the gift and set it on a side table. He stepped closer to her until she backed up against the door. “This.” One hand slid behind her waist until his hand rested on the small of her back, and the other cupped her face.
The first kiss was a gentle peck that she almost didn’t feel. Then he paused, pulling back his face and resting his forehead against hers. “I should have never let you leave that night.”
Giselle closed her eyes and breathed his natural scent of woodsmoke and rain. It was a smell she never forgot, and sometimes, just before falling asleep, she would remember it and smile. On those nights, she often took matters into her own hands. But no toy could compare to Tristan Sullivan.
“I’m not sure, this is the best course of action,” she said.
He kissed her neck. She let out a soft moan.
“You sound so formal. We aren’t planning a war.”
She put her hands on his chest and thought of pushing him back but couldn’t bring herself to do it. “Tristan, you and I would never work out.”
“What makes you say that?” He stared down at her.
She looked up to meet his gaze. “Because no one has ever pissed me off as much as you do.”
He chuckled. “And you irritate me more than anyone I’ve known. But you also make my cock so damn hard. All I want to do is bury myself deep inside of you.”
She struggled to breathe. The need growing deep in her core consumed every part of her body. This could not be happening. She had just been sworn in as an ambassador, and they were alone at the White House. The White House. There was no doubt that people had had sex in this place before them, but she wasn’t sure if she could add her name to that list.
She tilted her head to see him better, stood on her tiptoes, and moved her mouth to kiss him. He pulled back just enough for her lips to barely touch his. She tried again, and he pulled back again.
Okay, if you want to play hard to get, I can do that too.
She pushed on his chest and stepped to the side out of his hold. “We can’t do this. What if someone walked in on us?”
“If they did, we wouldn’t be the first couple caught kissing here.”
“But it would be the first time I was caught kissing here.”
He stepped to the side and now stood in front of her again. He put his hands on the wall, trapping her. “I meant what I said. I should have never let you leave that night.”
“Then why did you?”
“I have asked myself that same question hundreds of times.”
“Yeah, and what answer did you come up with?”
He lowered his mouth, gently kissed her lips, and said, “That’s a discussion for another time.” He dropped his arms, picked up her gift, and handed it to her. “Congratulations, Madam Ambassador. I know you will do an incredible job.”
She watched him leave the room and pressed her back against the wall. Her legs felt weak, and it was hot as hell in that room.
“Damn it,” she said out loud to the empty room.
