I close my eyes.
Waiting.
And then our lips touch.
My spine tingles with shivers as an electric surge of power courses through my body. And when he gently slides his tongue into my mouth, intertwining it with mine, I emit a soft moan.
He groans above me, the sound so erotic, and he’s already hard as he lies beside me. The kiss deepens as his hand covers the back of my head, and we never stop kissing as he moves himself on top of me.
He cups my cheeks in his hands and the kiss becomes more urgent. His tongue licks along my lips before probing into my mouth, deeper, harder.
I wrap my arms around his shoulders, opening my legs slightly to give some relief to his cock. That is so hard that it rubs against my core.
“It’s been like that since I saw you,” he murmurs against my lips. “And now it’s worse. Now I can smell you, now I’ve tasted you. I want more.”
One side of his mouth curves up in a smile before his mouth crashes against mine again, letting me know the effect I have on him. I’m the same as him. I’m soaked.
His delicious weight holds me underneath him as our tongues tangle and dance together for what feels like an eternity, but I love it.
When we finally break apart to look at each other, his eyes are two inky pools of lust.
“Do you want to take this further?” he asks. His gaze penetrates mine, like he can’t stop staring at me.
As he waits for an answer, I glance away, watching Charlie chatting to his friends around a table. Piper and all her friends are now with Bree and Jade at the pool bar, laughing with the bartender.
I turn my head back to him. “Not tonight.”
I’m not that girl.
I’ve never had a one-night stand in my life and am not about to start now.
I’m not a foolish girl.
I’m sensible.
“Then we can stay here all night and watch the stars together,” he says, taking hold of my hand. “And you’re right, we shouldn’t have sex until we’re married.”
Chapter 6
Jack
Glancing at my watch one more time, I try not to show my agitation that Amber isn’t here with me right now.
I jokingly mention getting married, and she laughed at the quip, but the more I think about it, my plan is perfect.
Though I’m not sure she’ll fall for it.
She is, of all things, a divorce lawyer. She sees the pitfalls of marriage every single day. Of all the people in the world I could ask, she is the one less likely to agree.
I grin when she breezes into the hotel lobby and smiles at me. She looks beautiful with her glossy hair flowing down her back and a slight glisten on her face that makes her look angelic.
I dressed casual but smart. I have on a stylish pair of charcoal trousers and an ivory button-down shirt, with the top two buttons casually left undone because I like the way she stares at the gap that shows my neck.
Amber is dressed in a yellow dress with long sleeves, the skirt mid-thigh, showing off her amazingly toned legs. Her high-heeled sandals are strappy and suede, letting me see the same pink nail varnish on her dinky toes that are on her fingernails.
My breath catches in my throat looking at her, not only her stunning face, or her hair that I want to wrap around my fist, but it’s the way she looks at me with her beautiful dark hazel eyes, like she is already mine.
This will only be a deal, Jack. Get over whatever you’re feeling.
