“Really?”
I nod. “Really.”
“Well then, it will be a first for both of us.”
He comes around the table and presses his lips to my hair. “You smell great.”
I look up, my mouth curving, immensely happy. “Uh, let me just clean this and I need help with the zipper of my dress. I can get out of here after that so you can go to work.” I collect the plates and haul them to the sink.
“You don’t have to do that, Darce. I have someone that—”
“Are you staying until five?”
“Around that time. We could get dinner after that maybe? Are you free?”
“Yeah, sure,” I answer ecstatically.
I’m seeing him again today!
“Okay.” He turns in the direction of the bedroom and I go back to washing the dishes.
“You know what?” He halts by the door. “Do youhave plans this weekend?”
“No…why?”
“Would youspend it with me?”
“I thought you had to work?”
“It can wait a couple of days.”
“Are you sure? You don’t have to do this for me, Ben.”
He comes over to me and cradles my face between his capable hands. “I’m sure. I want to spend some time with you.”
Benjamin Scott is taking off workfor me. I’m floating.
His warm lips find mine and I stand on my tiptoes and reciprocate, curling my hands around his neck. He drops his hands to my waist and draws me into his body. I shiver as his tongue curls around mine, sucking gently. Jesus, he’s such a good kisser.
His hands roam down and within seconds, he’s smiling against my lips.
“What?”
“You’re not wearing underwear.” I open my eyes at his sultry observation and find him pinning me with immense regard.
“I am not,” I whisper. “What are you gonna do about it?”
He lays his lips on mine. “Go take a shower because I’m about to drag you into that room and never let you out.”
His wicked grin sets fire to my insides.
“I’m not opposed.”
“I want to take you somewhere today.”
“Yeah?”
“Yes, and it looks like it’s about to snow so let me go, fiend.”
