“It’s not awful—that’s a lie. It’s terrible.”

“Yeah. But I can take care of it in a weekend, maybe two.”

She nodded and turned, almost running into him. He reached out to steady her. His hand on her arm sent a pulse of lust straight through her. She might have gasped.

Desire flared in his eyes. She took a step closer and put her hand on his chest. His muscles bunched under her fingertips.

Mel searched his eyes for a sign of what he was feeling or what she should do. There was desire in his depths, but he hadn’t made another move. She was about ready to step back when he spoke.

“Don’t.”

She narrowed her gaze as confusion filled her. “Don’t what?”

“Don’t turn away.” He lifted his hand and brushed her hair behind her ear on one side, then cupped her cheek. “Before the cops entered the room, after I’d taken out the other robber, I’d wanted to lean in and kiss you.”

Her throat tightened as desire pulsed through her. “Really?”

“Yeah. I wanted to feel you in my arms. You’re very sexy.”

“No. Now I think you’re on drugs. I’m not sexy at all.”

His lips thinned, and his jaw tightened. “You are way too hard on yourself.”

“I’m straight as a board. I don’t have hips or a bubble butt. My breasts are almost non-existent.”

He cupped her face and made her look at him. “You are very sexy to me. I don’t care what popular media or what other people have told you. I want you.”

She shook her head, disbelief still reigning supreme. “How can I be sexy? So many guys have told me I look like a child or a boy.”

“You don’t look like either. I don’t know who has been telling you that BS, but you are shapely. No, you don’t have big boobs or a huge ass, but you do have curves. They are subtle, but that doesn’t make you unattractive. You’re sexy, and I’m going to make sure you understand that.”

She swallowed, knowing her next words might get her in trouble, but she felt the need to say them. “How are you going to make me understand?” Her voice had thickened with desire, and Andy leaned in, his lips right at her ear.

“When we’re both ready, I’m going to strip off your clothes and lick and kiss you until you scream my name.”

A shiver raced through her, and she moved closer to him. His pupils dilated, and she took a chance, wrapping her arm around his neck and lifting on her toes. He didn’t budge for a second, then he picked her up and held her so her legs were wrapped around his waist as his lips feasted on her.

His tongue demanded entrance, and he took the kiss deeper. It was the most erotic kiss she’d ever experienced. If he hadn’t been holding her, she might have dropped to the ground.

The kiss ended, but he didn’t set her down. She stared into his eyes as she tried to catch her breath.

“Wow,” she whispered.

“Did you like that?”

“I think I could have an orgasm with a kiss like that.”

His lips spread wide, and he moved his hand so it was on her ass. “Not yet, darling, but soon, we’re going to have naked time, and we’ll figure out how good we are together.”

“I’d like that very much.”

He set her on her feet, and she reached out to hold on to the wall and steady herself. He took her breath away and more.

“Good. Now, let’s go downstairs.”

She raised her eyebrows. “What about your room?”

His chuckle sent a thrill through her. “We’d better not. I think seeing the bed with you in the same room would be too much temptation. We’ll explore that later.”
