Silence hangs heavy between us. The only thing I can hear is the pounding in my chest. I’m mentally preparing myself for Katherine to hate me. I deserve it. No normal, sane man will do what I’ve done. And if she decides to call the cops on me, I won’t deny anything.
At least, she knows it’s me.
I don’t know how long we stand there in semi-darkness, nothing but patches of moonlight filtering from the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting us in shadows. But I don’t need the light to see her. I’ve already memorized every single inch of her face and body.
Katherine takes a tentative step toward me, and I will myself to stay rooted in the spot. Her chest shudders with each inhale, and she runs her hands along her arms.
If she’s gonna slap me, I will let her.
If she’s gonna do worse, I’ll do nothing but watch.
But…
She does neither.
Instead, when she’s only two steps away from me, she launches herself into my arms. My brain hasn’t caught up with what’s happening yet, but my arms instinctively go around her frame, pulling her up to me.
Our faces are inches away from each other, and if I thought she was perfect while watching from a distance, there are no words to describe how beautiful she is up close.
In this angle, her brown eyes look golden and … hooded.
So I take a chance. I cup the back of her head and press my lips against hers, the soft, simple motion sending shockwaves of pleasure all over me.
She runs her palms along my chest and around my neck before she plunges her tongue into my mouth, short-circuiting my brain and making my groin ache.
I kiss like I’m about to lose her because I just might. Maybe this is temporary insanity on her part and she’s about to come to her senses in three seconds. But no.
She kisses me back with the same hunger, the same passion, and the same urgency … as if she can’t get enough of me, too.
Katherine lets out a whimper, a sound that goes straight to my cock.
Fuck.
This is just a kiss, but it might as well have been foreplay.
She pulls away first and motions for me to let go. My mind is a mess and so is my body. I’ve never felt anything as electrifying as that. It’s like coming up for air after struggling to breathe underwater.
It’s right.
Like it's always supposed to happen.
As I gaze at her, her eyes sparkle with a playful glint, a soft smile dancing across her lips. She edges closer to me and rests both palms on my chest. I’m already thinking of another kiss, but she apparently has other plans.
Katherine gives me a hard shove. Normally, that won’t even make me budge, but I’m still reeling at the various emotions threatening to overwhelm me.
The next thing I know, she sends me plummeting into the frigid water below.
And it does a wonderful job at cooling down my burning skin and controlling my rock-hard erection. I surface, sputtering and chuckling, staring at the goddess above me, my heart swelling at the sight.
Before I can say anything, she crosses her arms across her chest and raises a brow. “That’s what you get for being a stalker.”
The sentence is barely finished when she leaps into the pool next to me, creating gentle ripples around me.
Katherine propels herself to me, her eyes shining. The electrical charge between us is back when our gazes lock, and I meet her halfway.
This time, I make the first move.
Extending an arm, I pull her to me with one hand and cup her face with the other, molding my mouth to hers, dipping my tongue into the warmth of her mouth.
Her dress is getting heavy, so I gather them and push them up, then guide her legs around my waist. She locks them at the ankles and tightens her arms around my neck.
I can still hear faint traces of jazz music from the ballroom, but I’m too far gone to care if someone walks in on us. This is what I’ve been dreaming of for months, and I refuse to let someone else ruin it for me.
Steering us to the darker side of the pool, I break our kiss, only so I can lift her and settle her on the edge of the pool. She yelps and tries to scramble for purchase, but when she realizes I’m just settling her down, she chuckles. “I thought you were planning to throw me.”
“Not a chance, cupcake.”
Without taking my eyes off her, I spread her legs and slide the silk material of her dress along her thighs, letting them bunch around her waist. She only has pink lace panties on, but I can see her pussy.
“W-what are you doing?” Katherine’s eyes are wide, but her eyelids are fluttering.
