Especially as his lips pressed right back against mine. And then his tongue swept across them, seeking access. Access that I was readily open and willing to give.

His tongue flicking and moving with me set everything ablaze.

I pushed my body against his as if I couldn’t get enough of him. As if he would be gone any moment. It’s possible that in the back of my mind, he might play that hot and cold game again, but I could feel his hardness, and I just couldn’t see him pulling away.

Not when he felt that in need.

He moaned, arching up, but with his hands bound, he couldn’t get very far, and I broke the kiss, breathless, to smile at him.

“Not cool, B,” he muttered from swollen lips, and I couldn’t resist going in for another deep kiss, rubbing my legs over his hardness.

He growled and hell if that sound didn’t shoot straight down to my core.

I don’t know what he thought he was going to do, but I was in control for the moment, and I wasn’t going to let him go.

“Damn, I missed those,” I whispered, moving my lips from his and down his neck. I licked over the vein that ran along the side, and then smirked. “When’s the last time you had a love bite?”

“You.”

That was all the answer I needed. His neck was one of his biggest weaknesses, and if there was anything I loved doing, it was making this man melt.

So, I sucked on the spot where his neck and shoulder met, loving how his body jerked, and he moaned.

“Fucking hell, don’t stop,” he cried, his arms flexing to be released. I closed my eyes, savoring the sound of and feel of him. His breath hitched and then he gave another jerk of his body, easily breaking the garland and grabbing my arms to pull me away.

I stared at him, dazed for a second before he grabbed my hand and held it to the front of his jeans where a telltale sign was forming there.

I made him come just by that?

“For sure on the naughty list,” he growled, and he wasn’t the only one with a wet spot.

Chapter Ten

Chase

What the fuck did she just do to me?

I glanced down at her hand, then at her and shook my head.

I hadn’t done that since it was our first time in the back of my truck while in high school. There was just something about this woman, though, that always spun my head. When I started flirting with her, this isn’t what I thought would happen, but I can’t deny that I wanted it. That I wanted her.

Okay, that I’ve wanted her for a while now.

But want and love were not the same thing. Lust and love weren’t either.

That was all this was, lust. She still did things to me, and I wanted to explore more of what she discovered about herself.

And if I’m being honest, she discovered a lot that went pretty well with what I liked too. I mean, I’ve never been tied up and at someone’s mercy, though I liked the thought. I have done it to others though.

“It’s big.”

I raised a brow as I smirked, and she rolled her eyes before pointing to my neck.

“Oh, I can bet it is. And dark. I have no idea how I’m going to explain that this time.”

In an odd turn of events, way back when, it wasn’t Belinda that had love bites, it was me. Because she knew the one trick to get me riled up.

“You are an adult. Shouldn’t have to worry about it.”
