Page 119 of Counting On You

“Disappear, huh?” I nudge her. “I know a good place to hide a body.”

“Kade, that’s not even remotely funny.” In spite of her sober expression, her lips are twitching. “I meant disappear out of my life so I’ll never have to see him again.”

“I can’t help you with that. But I’d kick his ass in a heartbeat.”

“You don’t have to say that,” Vicky says.

I shrug. “It’s the truth.”

“You’d do that for me?” She raises her head and our gazes lock knocking the breath out of me.

“That, and much more. You know what? When we get out of here I’ll dare you to crash their wedding and introduce me as your boyfriend. If he so much as breathes a wrong word, I’ll show him how to treat you right.”

“We can’t.” She smiles sadly. “He wouldn’t believe us.”

“Why not?”

“Because you’re far hotter than he—” She breaks off before she can finish her sentence, as though she’s just realized what she was about to say. “You know what I mean. I’m sure I don’t have to spell it out for you.”

“Actually, I don’t. Please spell it out.” I shoot her a sheepish look. “You mentioned that I’m good looking, sexy, clever, and you also said something about my…?”

She rolls her eyes. “My mouth is sealed shut.”

“Come on, say it.” I lean into her and force her onto her back, placing myself strategically between her parted thighs. “You said something about my—”

“There’s no way I’m saying that.” Her breath is coming in tiny rasps. Slowly, she grinds her hips against me—the movement so tiny, I’m not even sure she’s aware of it.

“Why not? You already mentioned my magic cock once.” I push slightly into her, rubbing my hard shaft against her hot core. “You’re better off without him, Vicky. You wouldn’t be happy married to a guy who can’t satisfy you. Beauty fades. But love? Love is a fire that needs sex to be burning strong. What good is a man who doesn’t own a match to light your fire?”

I let my hand roam over her body, caressing her breasts, her abdomen, her swollen clit. Closing her eyes, she shivers under my touch and a moan escapes her lips.

“Let me make you burn for me, baby.” I kiss her softly. One kiss becomes a thousand kisses and it strikes me that she hasn’t replied to anything.

I need to tell her so much more, but now’s not the time. I can’t destroy what we have just yet, not before I’ve had her body one more time.
