“Yes, please,” I breathe out, then gasp when he spins me around and presses me up against my wall with his hands on my hips.

His head dips down, bringing his mouth a hair’s breadth from mine, but he doesn’t make the connection yet. His hands squeeze my hips once more before he lets go to run them up my side and to my upper arms. Grabbing hold of my wrists, he guides one arm over his shoulder and around his neck. My other arm follows the same wordless order and I cling to him, digging my fingers into the solid muscles on his upper back.

He’s still breathing against my mouth when he reaches down to grasp my ass and hike me up the wall. The movement forces my legs to wrap around his waist as my feet leave the floor.

Beau’s lips brush against mine as he promises, “This can just be akisskiss, or it can be more. It’s your choice, but don’t think for a second that I won’t be here again, no matter what happens tonight.”

My eyes flicker between his to make sure that he’s being honest, and I can see the truth of his words written all over his face. When I nod my head yes, our lips brush again, both of us shivering at the contact.

His body relaxes against mine, bringing us even closer, if that’s possible. He whispers while staring down at my mouth. “I’ve been thinking about this since the last time I tasted your lips. I can’t get you out of my head.” This man’s confession fucking melts me.

Stars and bright lights slam into me when his mouth finally descends on mine. There’s no hesitation or unsure movements this time around. Beau devours me like he’s starving. I can’t move except to open further to breathe in much needed air before I pass out, and he takes advantage of the newfound freedom in our kiss. As his tongue slips inside, licking against mine, I tighten my hold so he can’t get away. I need to live here, being consumed by him while he holds on to keep me from floating away.

We exchange gasps and moans as our tongues battle with each other, trying to get deeper and impossibly closer than we are now. Beau’s grip under my thighs gets tighter and I can feel his chest rapidly rising and falling against mine, heaving as we continue to make out. My hips circle slightly, trying to get closer, and it makes him groan against me when I feel his cock press up between my legs.

Sweet Jesus, I can feel Beau’s cock.

He tears his lips away from mine and presses his head in the crook of my neck, groaning as he shifts against me. His shaking hands move to my hips and take control as he grinds me against him slowly, inciting both of us to moan at the feeling.

“Christ, Haddie. You feel so fucking good.”

“Happy!” It’s the only thing I can formulate the words for.

“Happy.” He punctuates my name with a thrust that drives him hard right against my clit.

“Yes,” I cry out, then pull his face up to my mouth to kiss him again. “Let’s do all the things. Not… not nervous anymore,” I pant against his lips.

His chuckle rolls through his chest, the vibration making its way through my body and sending my nerve endings haywire.

Pulling only his head back, he looks down at me with his smile tilted up on one side and lifts a hand to brush my hair away from my face. “I want to do all the things, but let’s slow down a bit. We’ve got so much time, happy girl.”

There’s no stopping my pout, but I know that I’ll appreciate his restraint tomorrow. “But what about all the things?”

Holding on to me to make sure I’m steady as he waits for my feet to become settled under me, he grins. “How about we try another thing tomorrow after dinner with your family?”

I wrinkle my nose at the reminder of seeing them. It’s not that I don’t love them, but these past few visits have been hell. “Better be a good thing if we have to endure that.”

“It’ll be thebestthing,” he promises.

My eyes light up, curious about what that means. “Now I want to know what that means!”

Giving me a sly smile, he kisses me softly, then cups my face. “I’d like to try my tongue out on some different places.”

His smirk when my mouth drops open is so fucking sexy that I swear I feel my pussy muscles spasm in need. “You’re going to destroy me, Captain.”

Throwing his head back, he laughs as he grabs my hand and tugs me toward the living room. “That’s the plan. Let’s watch a movie or something until you’re ready to kick me out.”

Grinning, I kick my shoes off and let him pull me along. We spend the next few hours watching episodes ofThe Officeafter disagreeing on each other’s movie suggestions. I’d love to say that we spent some of that time with more kissing, but we didn’t. We laid together and laughed our asses off until both of us passed out on the couch, my body tucked into his with his arms wrapped around me, holding tight.

I wasn’t disappointed to find him gone in the morning because he had told me he had a meeting at nine.

The note he left on my counter, though, has me racing for my phone to have a group call with Marcus and Addie.

Breathing heavily with excitement as they get settled in, I screech into the phone, reading the note.

“Happy girl. You looked too beautiful this morning to wake, so I apologize for not saying goodbye. Thanks for the bestdatedate I’ve ever had the pleasure of being a part of. I’ll pick you up at 4:30. I can’t wait to see you tonight to do ‘all the things’. – Cap”
