I leaned back against the soft cushion, resisting the urge to moan out loud. It felt like I had been standing around for hours, unable to rest my feet, though that wasn’t the case.

I felt his eyes on me, and sure enough, when I turned to look at him, his gaze was focused intently on me.

He didn’t look away when I caught him watching me.

If anything, I thought I saw something flare in his eyes, though it was hard to tell because there were only a few lights outside.

He reached over and I stilled, unsure of what he was going to do.

Was he going to kiss me?

Would I let him?

The wordyesechoed in my mind, and I shivered.

But he only grabbed the seat belt and pulled it around me, buckling me in.

His arms brushed my nipples, and I sucked in a sharp breath, feeling the subtle touch all the way down to my clit.

Fuck, if this was how I reacted to such an innocent,accidentaltouch, I wondered how I would react had he touched me when I had nothing in the way.

My face flamed at the thought, and I was glad the light wasn’t all that great around us.

“Okay?” he asked me softly.

I nodded.

He stayed where he was for a moment, his face mere inches from mine. I could feel him breathing, could feel the slight heat coming from his body.

Then he turned away and started the car, pulling out of the parking lot.

GABRIEL

My hands clenchedthe steering wheel.

The image of her up on stage in that fucking costume—if we could even call what she wore a costume—would haunt my mind for the rest of my life.

Fucking Corey.

Did he really think I would want those other men to see what was mine—

Fuck.

Not mine.

But that didn’t fucking mean I wanted other people—men—to see her.

And if he’d thought I would want to see her naked, with thirty other fuckers in the room, then the fucker was even more stupid than I thought.

I kept my eyes on the road, but I was so fucking aware of her every move.

Every slight shift brought the floral scent to me, teasing my nostrils.

I wanted to pull over to the side of the road and fucking kiss her.

To learn what her mouth tasted like.
