“Tell me you’re kidding.”

“I’m kidding.” She uses her cup to shield her mouth, but her eyes are smiling.

“Are you placating me?”

“Oh, no. I’m absolutely not placating you.”

“Wise ass.” She’s cute and spunky. I like her relaxed, and I hope it’s because she’s truly comfortable with me and not because of the alcohol.

Hell. What do I care? This is a one-night stand. We’re both on board. Two consenting adults who want a bit of fun for a few hours. My dick has been hard since I first spotted her on the dance floor, and it’s about time I did something about it.

“What are you looking for tonight, Riley?”

The change in my tone surprises her. She puts the cup down and her hands go back to her lap where I’m sure she’s picking at her nails. Yet she keeps the face of a confident woman.

“Honestly?”

“It’s a good start.”

“I want to forget about the shit that’s about to go down around me. To forget about the expectations everyone else will have of me and just do something for myself. For one night, I want to break the rules. To not think about rules. To feel. To forget. To...fuck.”

My cock pushes at the zipper of my jeans. Hell, it’s as if she spoke my thoughts. My needs. Only, I walked away from the shit and the expectations years ago. This weekend will bring some of them back, but then I can walk away again.

Keeping my face passive, I stand and offer her my hand. When she takes it, I pull her to her feet and into my chest. I trail my fingers up her rib cage and along the top of her dress where her cleavage beckons me. The air between us grows heavy with an unspoken hunger as our lips meet, igniting a blaze that surges through my body.

Time blurs as my hands explore her soft skin, caressing her shoulders and the back of her neck as my mouth seeks after hers with an ache for more.

“If it’s too much or you need me to stop, just say the word.”

Her big chocolate eyes blink up at me. “What word?”

“Any. Stop. No. I’m out. Fuck off, Walker.”

“And if I say, go. Yes. Put it in me. Fuck me, Walker, you won’t stop?”

Our eyes lock with an intensity that sends shivers down my spine, a magnetic pull too fierce to deny.

“Christ.” I curl my fingers into her hips and slam my mouth into hers. There’s no more hesitation. No more luring her in. She wants passion. I want passion. We’re gonna fucking have the passion.

In our heated collision, boundaries dissolve, giving way to a raw, primal connection that leaves me gasping for air.

Our first kiss outside the bar was soft and sweet. This one is raw, hungry. Riley releases the grip she has on my shirt and loops her hands around my neck, pulling me closer, harder into her.

“You sure?”

She moans into my mouth, and I take that as affirmative. My fingers find the bottom of her short dress and inch their way up her thigh until I find the heat between her legs. “Jesus.” She’s as hot and wet as a Florida summer.

Riley curves one of her toned legs around my waist and I walk her back to the wall, grinding my cock against her core. With the wall supporting her, I lift her other leg until she’s circling my waist with her thighs.

They’re thick and strong. Athletic. Perfect. Her dress is stretchy and it doesn’t take much to tug it up over her. I toss it to the floor behind us and marvel at her braless, beautiful breasts. I suck one nipple into my mouth and massage the other. With my free hand, I push her panties to the side and stroke her once. Twice. Her head raps against the wall and she lets out another sultry moan. Fuck. I could get off on her sound alone. But I won’t. Because I’m a selfish bastard and I want all of her.

We’ve been playing this out all night, so I don’t take my time with her and push one finger, then two into her heat.

“Yes.” She lowers her head and I release her nipple to kiss her. When I use my thumb to stroke her clit, she tears away from me, banging her head on the wall again. “Holy shit.”

Her legs tighten around me. It’s too soon for her to be over the edge already, isn’t it? Fuck. I’ve been with a lot of women, and no one has ever come undone so quickly before. Riley lifts her hips, pushing my fingers deeper into her, and fucks my fingers.

“God. Walker. I’m going to—” Her mouth falls open and the most exquisite, delicious, sexy moans fall from her lips. Her pussy clenches and I feel her inner walls pulse around my fingers.
