“It’s nice to meet you, Charly. I’m glad I could help.”
Our hands disconnect and I wonder what happens now. Do we go our separate ways? Do I offer to repay him somehow? But before I can sink farther into myself, he makes that decision for me. “Can I buy you a drink?” I tilt my head to the side, my eyes narrowing as he smiles down at me.
“Shouldn’t it be the other way around? You saved me, remember?”
He laughs, his hands finding his pockets and making him seem even more intimidating.
“Wrapping my arms around and pretending to be in love with a beautiful woman is not a hardship. I promise.” He winks and I swear my panties fall to the floor. “So, what do you say, a drink?”
All I can do is nod my head because there is no way I’m turning down a man like Luke.
I take out my phone, send a quick text to Willow letting her know I wouldn’t be home until late, and smile when I see her response.
Did you seriously pick up a guy at TARGET? I’m jealous.
I tell her I’ll text her later and I follow Luke outside, wondering for the hundredth time if this is a good idea. But when he looks back, those eyes catching mine, I realize I don’t care. A man like Luke doesn’t come around very often, and those eyes are promising so much more than a drink, and I can’t fight my desire to see what happens.
Chapter 2
It’s been a few hours and at least three drinks and all I can seem to do is stare at his mouth and wonder if his lips would feel as soft against my lips as they did against my neck. We’ve been talking for hours and still, I know nothing about him besides the fact that he loves burgers and drinks liquor instead of beer. I usually want to know everything about a man when I meet him, but this time seems different. The element of mystery is exhilarating and addicting, just like the way his fingers are trailing patterns against the sliver of skin between my shorts and shirt.
“You keep squirming in your seat like that, and I’ll have to do something about it…” Luke whispers against the shell of my ear as my entire body responds. His fingers stop their ministrations as they pull me closer, sliding me along the bench seat toward his side.
“Well, maybe you should stop making me squirm,” I say with more confidence than I usually do in these situations. Must be the three drinks I’ve had.
“Sweetheart. you have no idea how much I don’t want to do that.” His lips are now trailing up the side of my neck, just like earlier, but this time I enjoy the feel of them against my skin. And when his tongue juts out and licks before his teeth sink in, causing my breath to catch, I know I’m done. This man will be my undoing and right now I’m ready and willing to let him do just about anything he wants.
“People are staring,” I murmur, my eyes taking in the bar around us, noting the number of eyes that are watching.
But that doesn’t seem to deter Luke because his lips continue to lightly kiss my neck as his hand lands on my bare thigh, rising higher and higher.
“And?”
God, the way his breath cascades across my skin is causing all reservations to leave my body. If he’s not careful, I’ll strip right here and now and let him have his way with me. It’s been way too long since a man has made me feel this out of control, and right now Luke is hitting all my buttons without even trying.
“And as much as I love the way your lips feel against me, I’m not really an exhibitionist.” His laugh reverberates against me as he finally pulls away, allowing me my first full breath since we sat down.
“I’d say by the way your pupils are dilated and the way you can't stop looking at my lips that you’d rather like it if I continued.” He winks, his hand still on my thigh as it grips a bit tighter causing a shuddering breath to escape my lungs. “How about we get out of here and I show you exactly what it's like to spend a night with me.”
God, he’s so fucking cocky. I usually hate men like him, the ones that know what they want and know they can get it whenever they want. But for some reason, I can’t get the thought of Luke and me out of my head. I keep wondering what it would be like to have him pick me up, throw me against a wall and have his way with me.
“Now what was that thought that just went through your head, because I want to make that thought come true over and over again.”
“Who says I want to go anywhere with you?” I have no idea where the sass is coming from, but from the desire that lights behind his eyes, I'm happy it’s there because I want to see where this goes.
“I promise I’ll make it worth your while.” And with that, his lips land on mine and all thoughts leave my brain.
Jesus, why did he have to be the best kiss I’ve ever had? Why couldn’t he be horrible so that there could be something wrong with this man. But of course not. The universe isn’t that kind.
“Fuck, sweetheart, I need to get you alone. I need to strip these clothes off you and show you just how much I can worship your body.”
I nod because I want that. I want all of that.
“My place or yours?”
The second those words leave my mouth, everything happens fast. The check is paid, I’m pulled out from the booth and Luke is leading me outside where I'm pushed against the side of the building as his lips devour mine once more.
“I’m not going to lie… all I want to do right now is fuck you against this wall. I don’t know if I can wait to get back to my place.”
