Page 45 of Dirty Desires
Ashton spoon-fed me once more. I gave him bites too, and it was obvious by the glow on his cheeks that he was getting as turned on as I was.
Picking up his napkin, he ran it over my lips. “Some extra chocolate got away from you.” Then his lips touched the spot right next to mine, and I nearly turned to capture his lips.
I didn’t though. The longing I felt wouldn’t have been satisfied in a public place. My only hope was that Ashton wasn’t going to keep me waiting much longer for that kiss I’d dreamt of for the last two years.
The ride home was quiet. He held my hand, his thumb moving back and forth across the top of mine. My insides were liquid. My thighs quivered with desire.
The spa had rid me of every last bit of body hair, and I was damn glad of that. I prayed that Ashton would kiss every last inch of me with slow, burning kisses.
And even as I thought about what I wanted him to do to me, I still had no idea if he had any plans to do such a thing.
I didn’t want to push him. But my God, how I wanted him to take me like he owned me.
When the car pulled up in front of my apartment building, I broke out into a sweat. I crossed my fingers by my side. “You’re coming up, right?”
He nodded as the driver came to open the door for us to get out. “I don’t want you walking up to your apartment alone, baby.”
My heart sped up as he called me baby again. I loved hearing him call me that. I wanted to hear him say it many more times—I wanted to hear him whisper it in my ear as he took me.
Even as we headed up to my place, I still wasn’t sure if he would be coming in with me. He had just said he didn’t want me to walk alone, was all.
When the elevator doors opened and we headed to my door, I felt my knees going weak. My body was shaking with desire.
He has to come inside with me!
I knew better than to ask him, but I prayed he would ask me if he could.
He held his hand out for my key then opened the door for me. “You’re such a gentleman, Ashton.”
I saw his Adam’s apple bob in his throat as he gulped. “I’m glad you think so.” He pulled me into the dark living room but stayed just inside the door.
I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as he put his hands on my shoulders, then moved them to my back to pull me to him. It was so dark, I couldn’t see his eyes. But I could feel the energy that flowed between us.
He moved so slowly that I began to wonder if he really was going to do it. But when his lips touched mine, holding me so tightly in his arms, I fell apart. My nails bit into his biceps as I held him back. Then he pushed his tongue through my lips to tangle with mine.
Fireworks went off inside of my head and I lost myself in him in a way I’d had no idea was possible.
