“Okay,” he said. “Let’s get out of here. It’s time.”

She blinked and reached for her purse. “Okay. Time for what?”

He rose from his chair and moved around to pull hers back for her. When she stood, he leaned in and whispered, “Foreplay, baby.”

Chapter Nineteen

“My place.” Tyler shoved open the door and pushed into his apartment, tugging Arden in with him. He slammed the door shut and yanked her up against him, her back to his front.

Excitement heated her blood, her belly doing a pirouette at being the object of Tyler’s intense, nearly rough desire. She felt how hard he was, pressing into her back, and a small whimper escaped her lips.

“Yeah,” he said on a low growl, nuzzling the side of her neck. He slid one arm around her front, the other moving her hair aside so he could suck on her skin at the juncture of her neck and shoulder.

Her breathing quickened. Her body quivered.

He slid the narrow straps of her dress off her shoulder and glided his tongue across her skin there. His other hand gathered up the sheer fabric of her dress and lifted it higher on her thigh. He pressed his erection against her lower back, and she pushed back against his thighs. Electricity sparked over every nerve ending in her body. “Tyler,” she gasped.

“Yeah.” He closed his teeth over her skin, gently, but still…it was a possessive, dominant gesture, and she shivered. “That was so goddamn hot sitting on that patio, people all around us while we were talking about me eating you.”

“Oh God.” Thick liquid heat pooled down low inside her, remembering their dirty conversation.

“Right?”

“Y-yes. It was hot.” So hot. He’d shocked her a little, but she’d been so turned on…

He now had her dress high enough that he could slip his hand over the front of her panties and then between her thighs. “Your panties are soaked, you sexy girl. I love that.”

A helpless moan leaked from her lips.

“Were you wet like this all during dinner?”

“Yes.” Her thighs clenched on his hand as he cupped her over her panties.

“Good. Because I was this hard.” He titled his pelvis, nudging her even more with his erection. “You make me this hard all the fucking time, Arden.” He rubbed his beard stubble against the soft skin of her neck, and she shivered again. “Thinking about you in my shower…seeing you leave wearing nothing but a towel…knowing you’re sleeping right across the hall from me in that sexy little nightie…or maybe naked…fuck.”

She moaned. “Oh God, Tyler. I think about you too. I dream about you.”

“Yeah?”

She pulled in a shaky breath. Her confession poured from her lips as he rubbed her. “Sex dreams.” She panted as he kissed her neck then sucked on her earlobe. She pulsed against his hand.

“I like to hear that.” His voice rasped near her ear. “Do you touch yourself?”

“Yes. A couple of times…I nearly came in my sleep. I woke up and I was so turned on…so close…and I touched myself.”

“Jesus.” He spun her around and stepped her backwards until her back met the wall forcefully. “That’s enough to make me come too.”

He crushed her up against the wall and their mouths crashed together. He consumed her, nipped at her bottom lip, licked over it with his tongue, then slid his tongue into her mouth. The bold stroke of his tongue against hers rendered her boneless, and she sagged between his hard body and the wall.

He licked inside her mouth, softly bit at her lips, then pushed her lips farther apart with a desperate hunger. She gasped but kissed him back. He found her hands and lifted them, pinning them to the wall above her head while he dipped his knees and flexed his hips, pushing against her soft core.

“Feel that?” His lips moved against hers. “That’s for you, baby. You make me hard enough to drill through concrete.” He nipped her bottom lip. “That gorgeous body of yours and your hot mouth make me lose my mind.”

Her head thunked back against the wall as his lips cruised over her cheek and neck and his cock rubbed against her. Desire swirled and heated inside her, her inner muscles squeezing, her breasts swelling. She caught his face in her palms and held it to kiss him again. He cupped her ass, bringing her closer to his erection.

He released one of her hands and hiked her dress up again, rough fingertips brushing over her thigh and hip until he found her thong. He curled his fingers around the string and gave a sharp tug, and it snapped.

She whimpered again.
