Page 16 of Starting Our Chance

By the time my lips found hers, the heat had built to a searing level. I took the liberty of slipping my hands down her back, then hesitated, silently asking her permission before going any lower.

Her quick nod was all I needed. Grabbing two handfuls of toned, firm ass, I lifted her against the truck so that her core was nestled against my erection. This was as far as I was taking things, but it was a fucking hot place to stop.

Her moan of pleasure as I leaned into her, using my body to keep her in place, tasted heavenly on my lips. Although she was frantically grasping at buttons, clawing her fingers into my flesh, I reached up to put my hand back where it had started. With her bewitching face cupped in my palm, I rubbed a finger over her cheek.

“You destroyed me for all other women, Lore. I tried to forget you, like you asked. I tried to let your memory fade.” She paused, panting, but listening to my every word as I continued, “Every time I shut my eyes, you haunted my dreams. And when the sun came up, just one look at your house filled my mind with visions of you—dancing, smiling, teasing me . . ..” My eyes found hers.

“You’re killing me,” she breathed. “I never knew.”

“Well, now you do.” I brushed my lips against hers. “And now you’re back, and I’m tired of pining for you.”

“So, take me.” Her words sent a white-hot lightning burst of lust to my cock, and she grinned wickedly when she felt it twitch against her.

“I will.” It was a promise. “But not now, not here in the open like a rutting beast. You were my friend; I want to go back to that—let that grow into something more.”

Her upper lip quirked up in a puzzled half smile. “I would like nothing better. But only if you swear to me that you’ll finish what your body is promising.”

I rocked my hips against hers. “I’m not going to risk my friendship with you by making us merely fuck buddies, Gorgeous. You deserve more than that, and I’m going to be the man who gives it to you.”

“Not a chance in hell that I’m running away from this!” Lore bent her head so that our foreheads touched. “I want you, Duke. All of you.”

Her words send a jab to my heart. “All right then, friends?”

She leaned forward and brushed her lips against mine, sealing the deal.

We stayed that way, locked together for just a little bit longer, letting the fire between us fizzle out to a low burn. But the beauty of it was that the fire wasn’t going out, not anytime soon, and I was fairly confident that we were both eager to rebuild that flame and take it to new heights.
