Page 2 of Killian

She grinned, handed him her phone, and he entered his number into it.

“Call or text me,” he said.

She turned to leave, but he reached out and caught her wrist between his fingers.

“How about one more before you go?” he suggested with a smile.

Celine grinned, then stepped closer to him once again. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his once again, moaning as he pulled her between his thighs, cupped her face in his hands, and deepened the kiss.

“Celine?”

They broke apart when they heard someone say her name. Celine glanced over her shoulder, then back at Killian.

“Yeah?” she said without taking her eyes from his.

“Uh, that’s not Vince,” a woman said.

“It’s not?” Celine asked in mock surprise as she stared at Killian and winked.

“No. Um, are you alright?”

Celine grinned. “I’m wonderful.” She pressed a quick kiss on his lips again, smiled, then turned and walked off, leaving her friend behind with a bewildered look on her face.

Killian grinned at the woman, placed his hat on his head, touched the brim, moved his legs inside the truck, and closed the door. He started the truck, and after one more look in Celine’s direction, drove off.

****

Celine couldn’t keep the smile off her face. She wanted to text him right now, but she had to find out more about him.

“Celine! Wait! Who was that?”

Celine grinned as she turned to face her friend, Carly.

“His name is Killian.”

“Killian who?”

“He didn’t say.”

“You kissed a strange man?”

“Wait a minute here. You wanted me to kiss Vince and I don’t know him.”

“You were supposed to kiss him for his birthday.” Carly shrugged.

“But, he’s still a stranger to me.”

“Yes, but—”

“But, what? Carly, I lost the bet, so I played along. You told me he would be in a black truck.” Celine shrugged.

“Oh, boy. I’m sorry. It was a stupid bet. I just wanted to embarrass Vince in front of his friends.” Carly grinned. “The more I think aboutit though, I bet he wouldn’t have been embarrassed. He would have been boasting about it.”

Celine laughed. “Well, I don’t know about him being embarrassed, but Killian certainly wasn’t. Damn, that man could kiss. It was the best kiss I’ve ever had, and I would have had more if you hadn’t interrupted me.”

“Well, gee. Forgive me for saving you from a stranger.”

Celine grinned. “That is one stranger you didn’t have to save me from.” She looked to where his truck had been sitting. “He put his number in my phone.”
