“I do. I’ll be right back.” She walks away.
Piper stares at me, her green eyes dancing. “I can’t believe you ordered the sweetest thing in the place.”
“I didn’t.”
“There’s something sweeter than cookie dipped in creamed sugar with more toasted sugar on top?”
I hold her gaze like the devil I am. “The sweetest dessert isn’t on the menu, and it’s already in front of me.”
It takes a second to sink in before she grins and bites her bottom lip.
“Goddamn,” I mutter. “You know that drives me certifiable, right?”
“What?” she asks.
“You don’t know? The way you bite your lip. It makes my teeth jealous they’re not there instead.”
And she does it again, fully intent on turning my cock into a blue cucumber.
“I didn’t know, but I do now.”
“Brat,” I throw back.
“You asked,” she says matter-of-factly.
It’s damnably hard not to dive across this table and seize her lips.
The server returns soon and sets our dessert course on the table with coffee.
Soon, she’s focused on me dipping my cookie in crème brulee, and I feed her a few. There’s a smear of cream on the corner of her lip.
I can’t fucking not take the invitation.
I gently brush my thumb against the seam of her lips and she opens like a good girl.
Her lips draw me in for the fiercest second, sucking slowly, her eyes glued to mine.
Goddamn.
It’s like she’s trying to make me explode in my pants. I pull my hand away with a snarl, brushing my thumb through the cream on my plate before I hold it up and bite the tip.
Yeah.
I’m going to devour every fucking bit of her tonight, lips to tits to clit.
We barely speak until we’re piling in the limo again.
This time, I pull Piper onto my lap, making her feel how hard I am.
Her breath hitches when she feels it. And she presses her spine into my chest, her body arching with delicious tension.
“I guess you win. You really know how to pull off a perfect evening,” she whispers.
“You haven’t seen perfection yet, woman. Trust me.” Stroking her hair aside, I kiss the back of her neck. “Thank you for trusting me enough to hold your fire for one night.”
“I enjoyed it. Almost as much as Lanai,” she admits.
Almost?
Not good enough.
By the time I’m done dousing her in flames and sending her off sore the next morning, that Hawaiian kiss will be a faded dream.
Still, she makes me wonder.
Could we have more nights like this?
More days like Lanai?
I’m not cut out for serious relationships. Finding the perfect match like Gramps did early in life seems as alien as a week doing absolutely nothing. But an ongoing under-the-radar tryst?
That could work.
Possibly far too well.
My lips can’t stay off her, roaming up and down her neck with a deepening hunger.
“Oh, God, Brock.” She sighs.
Growling, I turn her in my lap so I can see her face.
Her cheeks are so red, her eyes narrow slits full of green witchfire.
I catch her bottom lip with my teeth, and she opens her mouth, sighing hotly into mine.
Goddamn, this woman.
My tongue goes to work, swiping deep, drinking her in so thoroughly until she pulls away, sighs, and lays her head on my shoulder.
“Are you tired?” I ask, threading her hair.
“No. Just comfortable.” She wraps her arms around my neck.
Maybe it’s just how keyed up I am, but there’s something wickedly erotic about her resting on me. Don’t ask me to explain why.
I close my arms around her, dropping a steaming kiss on her forehead just as the limo slows to a stop in front of the hotel.
“Time to go.” I tap Piper’s hip.
“What if I don’t want to?”
With a dark look, I bring my lips to her ear and whisper, “Then you’ll be missing out on an orgasm that splits you clean in two, Piper Renee.”
I love how she shudders, her eyes flickering with excitement.
And when she brings her lips to mine—begging without words—I’m hellbent on making good on that promise.
Her tongue leaps hungrily against my mouth, caressing my lower lip and then my tongue, goading me to give chase.
I pull her closer as I consume her.
Her grip on my neck tightens.
The kiss deepens until I’m fucking her mouth.
Too intense.
Too hot.
Too undeniable.
Piper trembles in my arms again as I clasp her chin.
She falls away with a ragged breath, her heated eyes slashing back and forth, beaming so much need into mine.
“You win this round. Now I’ll move,” she whispers.
My lip curls as she slides off my lap.
I don’t wait for the driver to open the door for us before we’re flying out together, her arm hooked in mine. I keep her near my side like she’s all too breakable as we walk together.
Dammit, she is.
Why else would I need to guard her this closely?
“Are you sure you want to walk in like this? Someone could see,” she says quietly.
