“I’ve tried to get her away multiple times, but she won’t leave.” I say, a knot forming in my throat.
Keaton releases my neck and brings her hand around to cup the side of my face, brushing her thumb gently over my cheekbone. I hold her close as we dance slowly, not wanting to let her go for a single second in this moment.
“Thank you for coming today. I’m really glad that you did,” I say softly, peering down into her whiskey-colored eyes.
“I am too,” she whispers in response.
I watch her intently as a heat unfurls in my abdomen, spreading up throughout my chest. She pulls her lower lip between her teeth, and I track the movement, wanting nothing more than to bend down and meet her lips with my own. But I don’t, not sure that this is the time or place to do so.
I clear my throat stiffly, effectively ruining the moment.
“I guess we should probably get on the road soon. I’m sure you’re ready to check in on your mom,” I say, reaching up and tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
“Actually, I hadn’t even worried about her once all day,” she says in disbelief, “but I know she’s okay.” Her smile is reassuring.
My eyes trail the features of her face, wanting to memorize her in that moment, carefree and beautiful.
“She’s so lucky to have you.”
Keaton’s lips part as her chest swells, and I feel her breath skitter across my cheeks as I press closer.
“We really should head out soon though,” I whisper, afraid to speak too loudly in such a close proximity. “Unless you have another day off?” I smile, hopeful.
“No,” she sighs, “you’re right. We have a long drive ahead of us.”
When I convinced her to come out with me this evening, it was under the condition that we drive back together, seeing as my crew and truck would all be heading back later tonight. I could have gone with them but would much rather be here with this intriguing woman before me.
“We can drive in shifts, don’t worry,” I say with a wink.
We head back toward the bar to gather up our things and pay for the tab. On our way out, I reach for her hand and mindlessly intertwine our fingers together. She hesitates for half of a second and I falter, releasing her hand and taking a half step to the side as we step into the parking lot.
“We can head back to the hotel for your stuff first if you need,” I offer, swinging the key ring around my finger.
“No, I have everything,” she says, shaking her head and staring at me curiously.
“Okay, cool. I can drive first—”
“Wait.”
I turn to look at her over my shoulder. “Did you forget something?”
She takes two giant steps forward and comes face to face with me, peering up at me from beneath those thick, dark lashes.
“This,” she says, and reaches up on to her tiptoes, wrapping her hands around the back of my neck, pulling my head down to meet her lips with urgency.
I don’t hesitate, dipping one hand into her hair and angling her face back to accommodate my height, while reaching around with my other hand to hold her close to me.
Her lips part for mine as I deepen the kiss, and I take the opportunity to slide my tongue over her bottom lip before dipping into her warm and welcome mouth for my first taste.
She’s sweet, and soft, and more than anything I thought she’d be.
My fingers tighten their holding her long brown hair, and the breathy feminine moan that leaves her throat sends a shot of arousal right below the belt. My cock goes hard in an instant and I pull back hastily before she can feel how turned on I am against her stomach.
“Shit, Princess,” I hiss, breathing heavily.
Keaton runs the tip of her tongue over her top lip, and I can only imagine it’s to savor the taste of our first kiss. Even now, as the sky darkens above us, I can see the flush of pink rise and color her cheeks, and I wonder just how far down her blush will spread.
My dick twitches in response and I throw caution out the window, latching onto her and walking us backwards until she’s pressed firmly against the side of my car.
