Page 15 of Yours for the Taking (Falling For A Rose)

“One!”

Slipping a hand inside the clasp of her fingers, Jacob twirled Carla away from Lennox into the breadth of his chest, slipping that same arm around her waist. Their gazes locked as he leaned closer toward her face.

“Happy New Year.” His lips sank into hers, siphoning her very breath as his tongue invaded her mouth.

Carla’s entire body melted into him, and sparks fired between them, charging their desire like a lightning bolt. “Mmmmm.”

Cheers from partygoers resounded throughout the club, and balloons and confetti fell from above.

But the kiss was never-ending, tongues swirling, mouths pressing, the hold on Carla from Jacob, gripping.

Her entire body was in flames, her pussy a racketeering mess as her pulsation ignited. She moaned into his mouth, and what felt like a solid log crept up her belly.

Jacob drew away from her then, fighting against his desire, wanting to remain connected.

Carla reached for him. “Where are you going?” she asked breathlessly.

His dark voice rushed another avalanche of heat down her skin.

“If you hadn’t noticed,bellissima, I can’t seem to contain my craving for you.”

“I noticed, and I don’t care.” She shrugged. “Hell, if I had a dick, it’d be hard too.”

A guffaw cracked the air as he pulled away even further and bent to laugh.

Carla joined him in laughter and shook her head. “I’m just saying.”

Tears clouded Jacob’s gaze as he laughed, then lifted and drew her back to him, holding her close.

“I could get used to your wittiness; you know that?”

“I didn’t, but that excites me even more.”

She looked up at him, and he down at her with delight in their faces as they enjoyed the rest of the night together.

Chapter Five

“Hold on, wait a minute.”

Carla held on to her smile as she shuffled through her closet for something cute to wear, and on the other end of the phone, Tina switched from holding her device to turning on her Bluetooth earpiece.

“So you’re telling me, Jacob just swooped you up in his arms and kissed you in front of Lennox?”

It was the next morning, and Carla was looking forward to her lunch date with Jacob.

“Tina, words cannot express how much passion that man had behind…I mean…the kiss, the grip, the everything.” Carla paused her closet search and let out a swoon. “I can only imagine what his lovemaking must be like.”

“Ooh! My girl!”

Carla laughed. “And I didn’t even get to the freakiest part.”

“Wait! What?”

Carla nodded as if Tina could see her. “His dick got hard. I mean, this python rose up my damn stomach like an anaconda looking for its next meal.”

“Holy smokes!”

“Girl, there was nothing holy about it, okay?”
