“Ah,” she said, catching on. He loved playing with her like this. “What are your requirements? Maybe I know someone.”
“Oh, well, let’s see. She’d have to be intelligent, so we could hold a decent conversation. And she’d have to be willing to have a little fun.”
“What kind of fun?” she asked suspiciously.
“You know, maybe play a few games, eat some carnival-type food, ride a few rides. Oh, and it would probably be a good thing if she liked me, too, so it wouldn’t be awkward when I held her in my arms to watch the fireworks.”
Dani’s eyes glittered like a sea of sapphires and emeralds. “I see what you mean. A lot of prerequisites. How would you even go about finding someone like that?”
“I’m glad you asked. There’s a test.”
“A test?”
“Yep, a test.” Jace gently guided Dani onto his lap. She straddled him gracefully, placing her hands on his shoulders, while he rested his lightly on her hips. He didn’t even attempt to hide his erection anymore; she had to be used to it by now.
“Can anyone take this test?” she asked.
“I’m afraid not. It’s by invitation only.”
“That’s a shame, because I was thinking maybe I could give it a shot.”
He pretended to think about it. “Well, I guess that would be okay, since you’re already here and all. But I’m warning you, it’s brutal. Grueling, even.”
“Mmm,” she hummed, threading her fingers through his hair. “Sounds tough.”
“Oh, it is. You have to kiss me.”
“Oh my.”
“Exactly. Still want to try?”
“Hmm. I don’t know ...”
Dani didn’t get to finish whatever she was going to say. Jace couldn’t stand another second of being that close and not kissing her.
She melted into him, surrendering fully under his searing possession, curling her fingers into his hair and pulling him closer. By the time he pulled away, she was breathless, her eyes dazed and glassy.
“Mmm,” Jace said. “I think—”
“Shh. I’m going for extra credit here.” Her lips came down on his, insistent, playful. She teased his tongue with her own while tugging lightly at his hair and applying the most glorious pressure against his lap with her toned thighs.
Jace groaned, wanting to rip every last shred of clothing from her body and bury himself so deeply it would be impossible to tell where one left off and the other began. He clamped his large hands at her waist, encouraging the sexy little rolls of her hips, loving the hot pressure of her rubbing against him. How he wanted her! Not just now, but forever.
His wolf clawed at him in agreement. She was the one. They were meant to be together. She felt it, too. He could see it in her eyes, feel it in her touch.
Soon. He had to claim her soon, or he was going to lose the last remaining shreds of his sanity.
“Now who’s not playing fair?” he managed to rasp out, his chest burning with the effort of holding back.
“Is it working?” she whispered against his ear, her hot breath sending shivers down his body and right into his groin.
“Oh yeah. You pass. You definitely pass.”
Dani pulled away long enough to smile at him. “I’ve always been kind of an overachiever,” she said, resuming her attentions.
Jace was very supportive, especially since her efforts kept her in his lap and kissing him.
He was still buzzing with arousal later when he pulled up in front of the diner. His lips were still tingling, and he was certain his zipper was now permanently indented on his manhood.
