Page 81 of Love Me Reckless

“No regrets?”

My skin prickles with heat. I turn a little to face her. “Not yet.”

She gives me a pained look. “What does that mean?”

“Right now, we’re here inside my truck. Just the two of us.” I caress down each of her fingers. Her rich cocoa scent has infiltrated my senses, and it’s making it hard to think. “But pretty soon you’re getting hitched to someone else.”

“Why is thatyourregret?”

I caress her hair off her forehead and tuck it behind her ear. Her emerald eyes seem to sparkle in the low light as she gazes up at me.

“Because it’ll mean I can’t do this.” I lean in and press my lips to hers.

Her lips are soft and plush, making the heat inside me explode.

“Sawyer,” she says when I finally release her, her voice tight with yearning.

I kiss her again, savoring the tender embrace of our lips and the way she’s leaning closer, like she wants more.

How long have I dreamed of giving her this kiss?

For too fucking long.

In one motion, I urge her onto my lap.

“Or this.” I cup the backs of her thighs and tug her closer. She shudders as our bodies come into contact. Only a few layers of fabric separate us, but I can feel her heat, her desire.

I caress under her hair to the back of her neck because I need her closer. We kiss again.

Her lips are silky smooth. And she smells so incredibly good. I tug on her lower lip, drawing out the kiss just a little longer. I want it to be gentle, and soft—so I don’t scare her—but the restraint is making me tremble and my breaths hitch in my chest.

What if this is the last time I’ll ever kiss her?

She kisses me back, making a soft little hum of pleasure that sends prickles all the way down to my toes. I kiss her again, my grip on her neck the only thing keeping me grounded.

I want to touch her, please her. Taste her. I want to watch herunravel before my eyes. Watch her let go. And then I want to hold her as she gently drifts back to me, sated and happy.

And eager for more.

Have I wanted anything else since I first laid eyes on her? Since I discovered how quickly she suppresses her desires in favor of everyone else’s?

Fuck, I want to see her unhinged. Free.

She rocks her hips, grinding where she’s soft and warm against where I’m hard and thick, adding delicious friction exactly where we both need it. I flick the tip of my tongue against her mouth like a question, and she answers by letting me inside. She grips my shoulders as our tongues dance a playful duet.

Our quickening breaths echo inside the truck, broken only by the sound of our lips and the shifting of fabric. The brush of her breasts against my chest sends a thrill across my skin. What I wouldn’t give for this kiss to lead where it should.

For the two of us to explore each other. To take our time.

Or not.

My thoughts tumble end over end as all the delicious possibilities flash inside my mind. A deep, intense craving is building inside me.

Fucking hell, do I want her. All of her.

A bright light blasts the cab, startling us both. Our fast breaths and the heat from our bodies has fogged up the windows.

Tires screech behind my truck and a door slams.
