When I stepped close to him, Lei leaned in close. His breath warmed against my ear.

My pulse raced.

He brushed his lips along my ear. “Are you ready for an adventure?”

“I'm ready.”

Granted, I almost added that I was also ready for somedick, but I didn't want to sound completely thirsty.

Moving his lips from my ear, Lei slowly slipped his hand from mine and placed it on the small of my back.

A delicious shiver ran up my body.

He studied me. “You work fast.”

I quirked my brows. “What do you mean?”

“Duck let us know that all of Rowe Street Mob left the bottom of the mountain.”

Thank you, Banks.

“My cousin and I had a conversation.”

Lei slipped his gaze to my breast. “Does he know about your new position?”

“He does.”

“And how did that go?”

“You and I have more to discuss in regard to Rowe Street Mob and Four Aces, but right now. . .I would rather we simply enjoy our date.”

“Me too.” And with that, he captured my lips in a searing kiss that ignited a storm of passion within me.

Groaning, his mouth melded with mine, a mixture of heat and tenderness.

His hands ventured up my bare back, tracing the delicate curve of my spine and sending electric shocks through my body.

Fuck.

I moaned softly into his mouth, unable to contain the waves of desire crashing over me.

Groaning some more, Lei deepened the kiss, his tongue seeking and then intertwining with mine in a desperate dance of lusty longing.

I could feel the raw hunger in his touch, the way his hands caressed my skin and pulled me closer.

Our bodies pressed against each other in an intimate embrace.

The warmth of his skin against mine was intoxicating.

He ended the kiss and trailed his lips along my jawline, peppering kisses along the way and leaving a trail of fire in their wake.

I trembled and almost pulled away, tore off my dress, and demanded he fuck me right there.

Someone cleared their throat on the side of us.

Lei stopped and turned that way.

Chen spoke, “We should go in order to not keep anyone waiting—”
