skin at his words, his insinuation and his possessiveness. Right now, I am definitely not thinking about my throbbing head since I have other body parts that are throbbing in a very different way. I’m actually glad he has me pinned to the wall with his weight, otherwise my knees would have already buckled and I’d be a quivering mess in the floor. And I freaking love it!
Excuse me while I interrupt these thoughts to get back to the angry man in front of me.
He’s still in challenging mode, daring me to dispute his alpha-male, Neanderthal-ways, empowering words. I answer him with my full-blown, mega-watt smile that neither laughs nor mocks him but lets him know I’ve just totally played him. His eyes narrow as he studies me for a few seconds before realization and understanding crosses his face.
“You play a dangerous game, little girl,” he snarls, but with much less venom than just a minute ago.
“You started this game, little boy,” I gently chide, raising my chin in defiance.
He shakes his head and I feel more than hear the rumble of his light chuckle as it ripples through his chest. A chest that I have to say is pretty impressive, now that I’m getting a look at it while he’s standing in front of me wearing only his boxer briefs. Nice, very, very nice.
He widens his stance so that we were more even in height and puts his forehead against mine. He is staring into my eyes and when he speaks, the sincerity in his voice is clear. “I’m sorry, Andi – for what a jerk I’ve been. Can you forgive me? Give me a chance to make it up to you?”
LUKE
I’m holding my breath, waiting for her to answer me. This girl has turned me upside down and inside out so many times in less than one day and I know I want to at least give this an honest try. Last night, when I thought she’d went home with another guy, I was out of my fucking mind with jealousy. Then when she saw me with the drunk nameless-girl, I wanted to crawl in a hole and never come out. For whatever reason, I know that hurt her.
Which is crazy, right? I mean we just met and I shouldn’t have even been concerned with what she thought or about hurting her with a one night stand. But it does matter, I am concerned and I don’t want to do anything to hurt her. So whatever this is between us, however far it goes, and where it takes us, I’ve decided to see it through to the end. The only thing I know for sure is that today is not the end.
So now I’m just waiting for her to confirm it. I’m still looking in her eyes and silently willing her to take a chance on me. Again. She lets out a small sigh and simply says, “OK.” But her tone is genuine and heartfelt, just like she is. I can’t stop the rush of feelings that suddenly engulf me.
I brush my lips against hers once, then twice, and on the third time, she responds and kisses me back. I still have her pinned against the wall and she feels so soft and sweet under me. I release her hands and she immediately wraps them around me, rubbing her hands slowly up and down my back. My hands move up and I pull the towel off her head then thread my fingers through her still wet hair. I tilt her head slightly to the side and slide my tongue across the middle of her lips, urging her to open up and let me in.
When she does, I can’t contain my growl of approval and our kiss becomes urgent and demanding. Her tongue is velvety soft and she drives me into a fucking frenzy with the way she caresses and sucks on my tongue. Her hands are on my chest now and her fingers are lightly tracing the striations of my muscles, heating me to my core with no more than her touch on my skin.
I’ve kissed countless women in my life, but in this moment, this is the first real kiss I’ve ever experienced. This is the first kiss, the only kiss. that has ever branded me and rocked my entire world. I am really getting worked up now and I know I
