Just One Night by Caridad Piñeiro

hadn't been able
to risk her heart the way he had.
    Which left her with the
kind of choice she normally avoided:   take a chance or walk away filled with doubt and wondering “What if. . .?”
    As she peered toward her
nightstand, her alarm clock warned her that she had to make a decision
soon.   The night was rushing away from
them, far faster than she ever could have imagined.
    It was time for her to
take a chance. . .

 
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 6
    Something tickled the
side of his face and Jase scrunched his neck up to
chase it away. Her sexy giggle teased him awake.
    “Come on,
sleepyhead.   We don't have much time
left,” Nickie said with tempting huskiness.
    It took him a moment to
make sense of where he was and what was happening, beginning with her giggle
and sexiness, both distinctively out-of-character.
    He barely lifted one lid
and risked a glance at the alarm clock.   4 a.m.
    Not even the Marines
made him get up that early.
    “Come on, Jase ,” she urged again. Her warm hands palmed his pectorals
and she whispered a kiss across his cheek.   Nuzzled the side of his face with her nose and giggled again before the
mattress shifted with her movement.
    He opened his eyes and
found her sitting on the edge of the bed.   She had on a flowery beach cover-up and her bathing suit, and a large
blanket sat in her lap.   Even with all
the clothes covering her body, lots and lots of skin was visible and with it
being morning and all, his body reacted, tenting the sheets covering him.   Drawing her gaze to his dick, so he rolled
onto his side, knowing from their last lovemaking that she was a little uneasy
with all that was happening between them.
    “It's a little early for
the beach, isn't it?” he asked, propped his head on one hand and finger-combed
the longer top strands into place with the other.
    “It's not too early for
what I had in mind,” she said and stroked a hand across his chest and down,
taking the sheet with her as she moved south and wrapped a hand around his
cock.
    He gently grasped her
wrist and stopped her.   “What are you
doing, Nickie ?”
    “No regrets, you
said.   So I'm doing what I've wanted to
for a very long time.”
    He arched a brow and
examined her now serious features.   “Which is?”
    “Seducing you.   Well at least that’s what I’d do if you’d get
your too cute ass out of bed and come with me,” she said with a roll of her
eyes and a sharp, almost annoyed breath.
    This was finally his Nickie , the one full of humor and spirit.
    “Well, since you asked
so nicely,” he said, sat up and ripped away the sheet, exposing his fully alert
cock to her attention.
    Her gaze drifted
downward and she licked her lips, but a second later, she tossed his briefs
into his lap.   “You'll have to hide that
thing for just a little longer.”
    “Whatever you
say, Nickie .   You're in command now,” he said, saluted her
and a delighted smile erupted across her lips.   The gold flecks in her hazel eyes glittered brightly.
    “Yes, yes I am, Jase .   I’m in control
now and I kind of like it.”
    He grinned and hauled
her close for a brief hard kiss.   “I do,
too,” he said.

    With the way he was
looking at her and the sight of him aroused, Nickie almost reconsidered acting out her fantasy, but she'd made herself a promise in
the dark of night as she lay there beside him.
    When morning came, she'd
finally take matters, and Jase , into her own hands
without any doubt or hesitation keeping her from showing him just how much she
wanted him.   Just how much she cared for
him.
    Grabbing hold of his
hand, she led him to the door of her room, but he hesitated at the
entrance.   “What if someone sees us?”
    “ It's 4 a.m. and what if they do?” she teased, finally feeling free now that she'd
made her decision about him.
    “Does your father still
have that shotgun?” he kidded even as they snuck down the hall and quietly
crept toward the stairs.
    “Yes, he does, but
