every inch of her body into every inch of mine. With that kiss, I showed her how amazing we could be together.
I was the first to break it, leaving her breathless.
“Nick, you were most definitely not part of my plan.”
“Plans can change.”
Chapter 7
Nick
She stared at me, waiting expectantly…and my response was to kiss her again. The problem was, with each kiss I was no longer satisfied with how it had naturally happened the time before. With each kiss, I became greedier, more needy, and more brazen. I slipped my hands around her to settle under her shirt on her lower back. Her smooth, warm skin felt like silk beneath my touch.
“Angela…” I couldn’t hide my need for her when her name fell from my lips. “You weren’t part of my plan, either.”
“We can’t change our paths because of a strong physical attraction.”
Was this pure lust and nothing more than a sexual attraction on crack? It was at that moment I realized it had to be more…because if she were to ask me to walk away, I would without hesitation. Even though every part of me hoped she wouldn’t, even knowing walking away would be the hardest thing I could do, I’d do it if she really needed me to. As if reading my thoughts, she stepped away. Uncertainty mixed with desire in the green depths of her eyes.
“It’s more than that, Angela. This is…”
“Craziness and complete insanity,” she interrupted before looking away.
I gently gripped her chin, forcing her to look at me. “The thought of us together? Or what happens to us when we are?”
“Both. I can’t think straight when I’m near you. I can’t think of anything else, either.” I took her hand and led her back to the couch. Once we sat, she looked away, embarrassed.
“Look at me.” When she met my gaze, I gently kissed her. “Angela, I didn’t come here with a hidden agenda.” I held her face to be sure she saw the truth in my words. “I needed to see you again.”
She shifted on the couch until she was completely facing me. “I don’t want to drag you into my drama.”
I contemplated her words. I could only imagine what that motherfucker did to her. The FBI agent in me wanted to push her into telling me everything. The man in me just wanted to hold her.
“I don’t know what he did to you, and hopefully one day you’ll trust me enough to tell me, but I’m not him. You and I met by chance. Being together would be by choice. I have no idea what the future holds, but I know since seeing you in that bar a week ago I’m now so into you that I also can’t think straight.”
When she looked into my eyes, the emotion she was consumed with was evident in the depth of hers. Surprising me, she placed a hand on my face and asked, “Kiss me?”
I didn’t need convincing, yet I still needed to ask, “Why?”
“Besides the fact that I’m insanely attracted to you? And the kiss at The Dump was all I could think about tonight, and I also want more? The main reason is how you make me feel, the things you say to me, and the way you look at me. I trust you…that doesn’t happen often for me.”
We stared at each other without speaking. She wanted me, so why was I reluctant? Maybe because once I started something, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to stop? Was she ready for that?
“Angela, I want you so bad, but I don’t want to scare you away.”
“You won’t.” Sensing my hesitancy, she leaned in and kissed me softly. “Nick, the best part of my holiday was your kiss. I’ve been so unhappy lately, and for a few minutes tonight you managed to change that. I liked feeling something other than unhappiness. I want you to help me feel more of what I felt earlier tonight.”
A need to own all her pleasure, all her happiness exploded in my chest. Forcibly, I gripped her head and crushed my lips to hers. Before I knew it, she was on my lap and we were kissing with abandon.
I also liked how it felt when our lips touched. When our mouths and tongues fell into
