Ha! Everyone had their breaking point. And she was fairly certain that Reuben Jones was hers.
Then he drew her close to him and cupped the side of her face with his hand.
His lips brushed hers. And she tried to hold out. She really did.
She managed it for all of five seconds before her lips parted and he slid his tongue into her mouth to tease her. Play with her.
“I have been dying to taste these lips again,” he whispered. “The memory has been torturing me these last few days.”
She felt the same. He kissed her again and her whole body tingled in response, wanting more of him.
“Tempted to fucking skip this banquet and just take you home with me.”
Crap.
She wanted that too. Only she knew it was a bad idea.
“I still don’t want anyone looking at you. Then again, I never want anyone looking at you.” He studied her.
“Do you like the makeup and clothes? I don’t know if I’ll ever get my hair to look this nice again on my own. Cammie spent hours getting me ready.”
“I like it.”
Her stomach dropped. She guessed she could make more of an effort with her hair and makeup. Her clothes.
“But you don’t really look like my Faith,” he admitted. “So while I think you look beautiful, I also like when you’re dressed in one of your cute dresses with your butterfly clip in your hair.”
“It’s in there,” she admitted with a shy smile, pointing at her hair.
“What?”
“I wanted to wear it, even though Cammie told me that I couldn’t. I couldn’t come to such a big function without it.” It was her good luck charm. “So it’s in the middle of my hair-do. I had her hide it.”
“Don’t do that again.”
Huh? Was he honestly worried that it would slip out and someone would see it?
“You don’t ever have to hide who you are, Little Blossom.”
Dear Lord.
Just as she was about to kick his ass, he said something sweet. Something that made her think this could work.
Maybe.
When the limo came to stop, he undid her seatbelt. Then his own.
He’d done up his seatbelt and she hadn’t even noticed.
For her.
Okay, he was possessive and jealous and demanding.
But he’d also put his seatbelt on for her.
Being with this man would never be easy.
Sometimes, though, the good just outweighed the bad.
