Adrian was a little tired, but he felt good. He enjoyed the physical labor and the work he was doing at the shelter. He had no idea how much he would like working with the dogs, and he put in as much effort as possible to learn the techniques the trainers were using.

He had never considered volunteering at a place like that before, but after his community service hours were done, he would consider staying on. There was also the plus of seeing Kelsey and getting to push her buttons every day.

“We’re going to head home.” Xander announced as he held out his hand to help Riley from the counter. “You ready?”

He was leaving?Kelsey was not ready for their time to end. She hadn’t had a chance to talk to him alone yet and she didn’t want more time to go by before she did. Not thinking, she blurted out what was in her mind. “He’s going to stay here. I’ll drive him back to get his car.”

Adrian’s eyebrows shot up, but he didn’t correct her.What is she up to now?

Xander raised and lowered his eyebrows a few times. “Okay then. We’re out, man. See you tomorrow.” Xander held his fist out for a bump.

Riley launched herself at Adrian, hugging him and then bounced away. The girl was a bundle of energy.

Adrian waited for them to leave the room before turning to face Kelsey. “You got me alone now. What do you plan to do with me?”

“Uh, I um. I wanted to explain.” Kelsey had no idea what to say. She practiced a dozen different things to say in her head, but she couldn’t remember a single one.

Adrian pushed out of his seat and stalked toward her. “Explain? You wanted to explain how you can’t take your eyes off me or how you were undressing me with your eyes when I was moving the bags of dry food.”

For every step he moved forward, she took one back until she felt the edge of the counter at her back. At least this time she didn’t walk into the shelf and knock everything to the floor. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” This was not going as she had planned.

He stopped directly in front of her, only inches away. “Sure, you do. You had your eyes on me all night.” Adrian leaned closer. “I could feel the heat in them. The only thing better would have been having your hands on me. Running your hands across my chest and over my shoulders.”

Kelsey’s eyes flared and a pink flush covered her cheeks, running down her neck and into her golf shirt. She leaned closer to him, tipping her face up. She wanted him to kiss her.

Adrian brought his face closer to hers. His lips a breath away. “But you can’t believe you kissed me before, so I won’t be making that mistake again.”

Adrian stepped back, turned on his heel, and stalked into the canine wing, leaving Kelsey breathing heavily and flushed for a completely different reason.

Adrian wantedto kick his own ass. He almost kissed her. The need to press his lips against hers was all consuming and he barely pulled himself away.What is wrong with me?He was not going to give her the opportunity to play her games and say it was a mistake again.

Maybe he needed to get laid. Yeah. That was it. He was just reacting to her because it had been a while since he had a girl. It was perfectly normal that his body would respond to a pretty girl. Even as much as he didn’t like her, he couldn’t deny that she was beautiful and sexy in a subtle way.

Kelsey was too high maintenance for him. He needed easy. Yeah. Easy like that blond from the party. If he found her, they could finish what they had started a week before. He tried to convince himself that was a good idea, but apparently his dick had other plans.

It seemed to stand at attention every time Kelsey was near, but the idea of going to find the blond had it wilting.

He stopped by the pen of a Jack Russell Terrier that was jumping up to get his attention. “Hey, boy.” Adrian turned to open the pen when Kelsey stormed into the dog wing, heading straight for him.

She quickened her pace, colliding against Adrian’s chest and throwing her arms around his neck as she pressed her mouth to his.

EIGHTEEN

Damage Done

Once again,Kelsey stunned the hell out of him. The girl was giving him whiplash.

Kelsey poured every emotion she had for the impossible man into her passionate kiss.

Adrian’s arms circled her waist, pulling her flush against him and holding her close. There was nothing in the world like kissing Kelsey. She pissed him off, frustrated the hell out of him and drove him crazy, but she also turned him on way more than anyone else had ever done.

She slanted her mouth against his, as he thrust his tongue into her mouth, devouring her. She moaned and felt him tighten his hold on her. Kelsey had no idea how long they leaned against the dog pen, kissing and exploring each other. His hands roamed over her back as she played with his hair and clung to his shoulders.

He pulled away to kiss along her jawline to her ear. He grinned wolfishly when she shivered with desire. Adrian’s teeth grazed her earlobe, sucking it into his mouth. His heart was pounding, and his jeans were so tight he thought he would bust his zipper. “We need to stop or I’m going to take you right here against the cages.”

Kelsey giggled and leaned back to look at him. “Before you say anything, that was one of the best kisses I’ve ever had, and I am not sorry it happened. In fact, I want it to happen again and soon.”
