Her head snapped my way, and when our eyes met, a huge smile spread across her face. It warmed my damn soul. That’s how bright it was.
I returned the smile with as much oomph as I could, hoping she could read my feelings, could pick up on the flirtatious cues I gave off.
She continued her work, but not without dropping a bolt and tripping over her own feet. I laughed to myself at the sight. Where did all her grace go?
Without waiting for her to come to me, as I waited two long fucking days already, I strolled over to her, stopping when I reached the front of the car. “Hey. I’ll wait in the office, yeah?”
“Hey.” Celeste said as she wiped her hands on a rag, her cheeks flushed and tinged pink. “Do you mind pulling your truck in? I’ll get right on getting the old tires off and the new ones on. I’m almost done over here.”
“Sure.” I hurried to my truck and pulled it into the stall.
Celeste finished with the other car, and I waited in my truck as she checked the customer out.
“Hey there you are! I was looking all over for you.” Her face appeared in my rolled down driver’s side window. My heart free fell into my stomach at the closeness of her, something I waited all weekend for. Not very patiently, either.
“Let me close the place and I’ll get started on your truck. Do you mind waiting in the office?” Her blue eyes shone beneath the lights in the garage.
“You’re closing the place down for me? I feel special.” I smiled cheekily.
“Ha, you wish,” Celeste joked, and my dick jolted to life. This woman couldn’t get hotter if she tried. Holy shit. “Since this job will push me past closing, I have permission to close my side while the gas pumps remain open for another couple of hours.”
“I still feel special.”
“You should.”
“Why’s that?” I challenged.
“Because usually tire orders take a few days to come in. But I put a special rush on yours.”
There went my dick again. “You did?”
“Mmhmm.”
“Why?”
“I couldn’t wait that long to see you again.”
That’s all it took. The final seal broke, and I wasn’t holding back any longer.
I leaned out my window and with one hand, grabbed the back of head and brought her face mere inches from mine.
Our breaths mixed as we both panted.
Savoring and prolonging the moment for as long as I could, I pressed my forehead against hers and groaned at the way her being so close to me made me feel.
I wanted to devour her whole. To breathe life into her only to steal it back and deliver it once more, both of us of relying on each other, as if we were each other’s medicine in a world full of chaos.
Without wasting another second, I covered her mouth with mine and dove in headfirst.
CHAPTER FOUR
Celeste
He was kissing me.
Percy was kissing me.
All the consequences and what ifs of kissing at my place of employment flew out the window as his hand held me in place and devoured me like I was the best damn slice of cake he’d ever eaten. He explored, nipped, licked, and savored as our tongues battled in a fit of passion.
