She wrinkles her nose as she gestures to the bartender for more drinks.
“First of all, don't call me Ali Cat, we don't do the pet name thing. Second, there was nomoment. Whatever you think went on just then, you can work that out in your room, alone… with your hand.”
The bartender places another four shots on the bar and we reach at the same time.
Ali goes to take her shot and just as the rim of the glass touches her lips, I lean in and say, “Or we could figure it out together, in my room with my hands on you, my fingers inside your…” She coughs, droplets of vodka sputtering from her mouth before I can finish my sentence. I chuckle and take down my shot as she tries to regain her composure.
She stares at me, licking her lips, her eyes searching mine.
I lean in, snaking an arm around her waist, grazing my mouth with the shell of her ear, taking a moment to inhale her scent before whispering, “Or, you could wrap those sexy legs of yours around my head and I’ll eat my way into your heart… you choose.”
I pull away, she stays unmoving, eyes wide. I take two shot glasses, handing her one before clinking them together, grinning like the arrogant bastard I am.
She swallows down the vodka, before clearing her throat and announcing clearly, “That, Harry Walker, will not be happening.”
Chapter Three
Ali
Bang.
My back hits the door as his lips crash against mine so hard I'm sure he's bruised them, but I don't care. I've never been kissed like this. I’m not sure why I’m here. I could blame the vodka, the stress of the day or call it temporary insanity but I’ve somehow found myself in the hold of the one man that gets under my skin like no one else has. I bite down hard on his bottom lip, tasting copper and he groans, the noise sending a pulse of pleasure right between my thighs.
He pulls back. “You fucking bit me,” he growls, wiping the droplet of blood from his bottom lip.
“Aww poor baby, can’t handle a little pain?” I mock. Before I can say another word, he crashes his lips back on mine, teeth clashing, and returns the gesture tugging on the soft flesh.My body flames, white-hot heat trailing down my spine at the action.
I fumble with the buttons of his shirt, getting so frustrated with the last few that I tug and hear the buttons scatter on the hard floor. Tugging off and tossing the shirt, I rake my nails down his broad back so hard I make sure to leave my mark. The long hiss he lets out only makes me do it harder.
“Turn around,” he demands.
“Make me,” I challenge, my breathing erratic.
He spins me on my heels, planting my hands against the cold wood of the door. Tugging at the zipper on my strapless dress, it falls off my body effortlessly and pools at my feet. Stepping out, I kick the material to the side and turn to face him. His eyes scan down my body taking in my strapless lace bra, matching black panties, and my Louboutin heels.
“You are unreal,” he groans, his tongue peeking out to wet his lower lip. My body heats under his gaze and I’m fighting every urge to devour this man. But if he wants me, he can come and get me.
“Are you just going to stand there gawking or are you going to fuck me?” My tone teasing as I smooth my hands over my hips.
He palms himself over his trousers, drawing my gaze to his bulge there. “I just need a sec,” he mutters as his hooded eyes scan up and down my half-naked body. “Fuck me,” he whispers, almost to himself.
“That’s the plan,” I quip, getting his attention again. Lifting my hand, I drag the tip of my finger on the edge of my lace bra, teasing both of us. “Aww, H, don’t tell me you’re all talk and no action?” Don’t worry, you wouldn’t be the first and certainly won’t be the last man to disappoint me.”
His nostrils flare as he steps towards me, pushing his hips into mine, pinning me against the door while he wraps his hand around my neck, his fingers right over my pulse point.
I gasp, excitement coursing through me.
“You know I hate your attitude, right?” He leans in, the side of his nose grazing mine.
“And… what you gonna do about it?” I whisper back, my heartbeat thrashing obviously in my neck.
He gives me a salacious smile that makes me want to clench my thighs together. “I’m gonna fuck it right out of you.”
Excitement pulses through me, awakening every nerve ending.
God, I hope he does.
His eyes lock on mine just for a second before coaxing his mouth with mine. I get lost in the kiss and then he’s hoisting me up, so my legs are forced to wrap around his waist. I brace my hands on either side of his face, pressing my fingertips firmly into his skin as he tightens his grip on my ass, fingers digging into my skin.
