Page 81 of Second Chance for Mr. Alden

I patted the pocket of his pants before I grabbed a handful of his shirt to pull him in for a kiss. His lips parted, and I slanted my mouth over his, loving how well we fit. I swiped my tongue into his mouth then pulled his bottom lip between my teeth and bit down just enough to make him growl before I let him go.

“I can’t help it if you were distracted.” I moved away already planning my strategy to get a hole-in-one.

“Distracted? Jess, you took off your underwear and handed it to me while we were playing. You knew exactly what you were doing. There’s no way I can concentrate knowing you have nothing on under those shorts.”

I grinned and shook my ass.

He groaned. “Not fair, temptress. I’ll find a way to get you back.”

I paused at my practice swing and looked over my shoulder. “I hope you do.”

Fire flared in his gaze. “Fuck it. We’re done. Time to go home.”

“What?”

He strode up to me and placed a hard kiss on my lips. Then he grabbed my ball off the tee, walked in front of the last hole, and tossed both our balls inside.

“Alden, what the hell are you doing?”

He took the club from me and laid both of ours down on the side of the mini-golf station and turned to the group behind us. “Can you drop those off for us?”

The teenage girls just giggled and nodded, not even bothering to ask for more information. They’d been enthralled with him the entire time we were playing.

He grabbed my hand and tugged me toward the parked car.

“Alden, slow down. I can barely keep up, you caveman,” I teased.

“Jess, if you don’t speed up, I’m going to toss you over my shoulder and carry you to the car.”

I stopped short, almost yanking my own arm out when he’d kept going.

Suddenly concerned he hurt me, he stopped. “Baby, are you all right?”

“I’m fine. I thought you said if I didn’t hurry, you’d help me to the car.” I gave him a sassy grin.

He took one look at me, shrugged, and tossed me over his shoulder. Besides the blood rushing to my head making me feel light-headed, I had nothing to complain about as I settled one hand on my hat and the other on his ass to stop myself from bouncing all over.

“I swear, James Alden, you have the sexiest ass I’ve ever seen on a guy.” I slapped his right cheek, laughing as the smack drew the eyes of a few people in the parking lot. A few gave us curious stares.

I waved to them and smiled.

Our car was parked at the end of the lot. Once there, Alden let me slide down his body. I knew he was being deliberately slow, trying to tempt me as I’d been tempting him. Suddenly, his hands gripped my waist, and he pressed me up against the hot car. I gasped as he lifted me up, my legs automatically wrapping around his waist.

“Yes,” I murmured.

This was so fucking hot.

His lips were on mine in an instant, devouring me. I opened my mouth wider to let his tongue slip in. He was surprisingly gentle with each soft stroke of his tongue against mine, he hummed into my mouth, making me tremble. I loved how turned on I got with just a kiss from James. He could make me orgasm with this alone. Already my core was drenched and the telltale wetness of my arousal slid down my inner thighs.

My arms intertwined around his neck, not because I needed to hold on, but because it gave me just the right leverage to rub myself against him. Without my underwear, my sensitive clit made me groan and rub harder.

The ear-splitting shriek of a car alarm went off nearby and we jolted apart. I’d forgotten we were in a very public place. Alden’s body tensed. He pulled back, making sure to shield me while he surveyed our surroundings, looking for possible danger. His hands didn’t move, his hold on me just as tender as before, but his demeanor was different. Harder, less approachable.

The moment he determined we’re safe he put me down, walked me to the passenger side and helped me in. I had a hard time interpreting the look on his face. Before he could straighten up and shut the door I grabbed his hand. “You okay?”

“Jess, I lost myself back there. I need to be the one to protect you. Instead, we were making out like two teenagers. That wasn’t me doing my job.”

“It was a momentary lapse. And partially my fault. I’m sorry, Alden. You can’t just blame yourself for what happened. I mean I am irresistible.” I fluttered my eyelashes at him. “I just don’t think there was any way to help yourself.”
