My mind darts right back to Remy’s sexy voice and beautiful face. I shiver as I think of the way it felt when he pulled me protectively behind him.
There’s something about him… I can’t get him off my mind.
My body is craving his presence and I can’t stop checking my phone, desperate for nine o’clock to roll around.
With my heart pumping, I head into the living room where my brother is sitting on the couch, looking completely defeated. His head is lowered, a half-finished beer bottle in his hand. He looks like he’s hanging on by a thread.
“I’ll bring Nathan back to his mom’s tomorrow,” he says in a shaky voice.
I want to tell him that he shouldn’t, that we’ll figure it out, but I can’t. “That’s probably for the best.”
He sighs. “It was a bad idea to bring him here.”
“No,” I say as I sit beside him and take his hand. “You’re his father, Colin. It’s good for him to know you fully. The good and the bad. This is real life. Shit like this happens.”
“But he’s just a kid…”
“A kid who needs his father. He was having fun before…”
He looks at me with a blank face. “Before I ruined the day for hundreds of people and destroyed half of the amusement park?”
I laugh. “Yeah, exactly. Before that.”
He chuckles and shakes his head. “What am I going to do, Adalynn? My life is such a mess.”
“Why don’t you start by kissing your son goodnight and telling him you love him?”
He nods as he puts the beer on the table and gets up. “Thanks, sis.”
I smile sadly at him as he leaves.
Then, my eyes dart over to the clock. 8:45.
It’s time to go.
I roll my car to a stop at the quiet intersection and take a deep nervous breath. Is this a bad idea? This is a bad idea.
I don’t know why I’m feeling so compelled to meet this mysterious stranger who was trying to murder my brother a few hours ago, but I do. No matter how many times I tell myself that it’s a bad idea, I can’t stay away.
Just knowing I’m going to be with him soon is making me all flustered. I take a few deep breaths as I look around the empty street.
He turns the corner and I let out a gasp when our eyes meet through the windshield. I can feel my nerve endings tingling as my body craves his presence. I don’t understand this connection I’m feeling with this strange man, but it’s nothing like I’ve ever experienced before.
It’s almost as if…
No. It can’t be.
His bright green eyes remain fixated on me as he walks over. My breath quickens and my body trembles. A demanding heat works its way down between my legs and I have to squirm in my seat to stop from touching myself.
I should drive away. This is going to be nothing but trouble.
Instead, my hand takes the keys out of the ignition and tosses them onto the dashboard.
He walks over to the passenger door and opens it.
Delicious anticipation swells in my chest as he gets into my car and closes the door.
“Salut, mon petit oiseau.”
My pulse races as this gorgeous man looks at me. He’s so close. I could reach out and touch him. It feels like my insides are vibrating as he looks me over.
He’s not shy about it either. His hungry green eyes roam over my body like he’s surveying all the tasty treats in a buffet. Those lustful eyes linger on my chest and then drop down to my legs. I squirm on the seat once again as I get even wetter.
My pussy pulses with heat as he continues checking me out. This shameless man looks like he’s trying to figure out the quickest way to get my clothes off.
I’m no princess either. I’m checking him out just as hard. He’s stunning.
That face… I want to take a picture of him so I can stare at it for hours once we’re parted. His green eyes are hypnotic. I can’t seem to look away…
I just want to climb onto his lap and inhale his masculine smell. I want to slide my tingling hands into his silky brown hair. I want to feel those lips pressing against mine. I want to feel those big thick arms wrapped around me and pulling me into him. I want it all, but I can’t… I must fight back against these intense urges running through my veins. I have to stay focused for Colin and Nathan. I said yes to this meeting for a reason and it wasn’t to submit to my carnal desires. It was to help my brother and save his life.
“Hi, Remy,” I whisper.
“Have you been thinking about me all day?” he asks in a thick French accent. I love the way he speaks. It makes me wonder if it’s true what they say about French men… “You’re all I can think about.”
