I fanned myself and said, “I will try to keep my composure.”
He looked me over with a sexy glint in his eyes and said, “Hey, could you step back from the bar? Because you are so hot, all the ice is melting.”
“Wow, you have some good ones and that one was definitely hot. Ok, let me try some on you.”
“Ok, you’ve already picked me up and you have me wrapped.” He winked at me. “But let’s see what you got.”
“Did your license get suspended for driving all these guys crazy?” I asked him.
He stared at me and said, “Guys?”
“I was just repeating the ones guys used on me.” I laughed as I realized what I’d said. “Yeah, I messed that one up.
“Boy howdy, did you ever!”
We were both laughing hard now.
I was trying to catch my breath as I said, “How about this one? If you were a fruit, you'd be afine apple.”
His eyes rounded. “No! Some guy used that on you?”
I could barely breathe as I nodded. “Or…Aside from being sexy, what do you do for a living?” I shook my head. “The problem with that one, he knew I was a stripper already.”
“What a loser. Nah, you gotta think first before you open your mouth. Women don’t appreciate a moron.” Prophet swiped tears of hilarity from his eyes. “Here’s the funniest one I heard recently…If you were a flower you’d be adamnnnnnn-delion.”
“Noooo!” Laughing, I leaned into him. “Oh, my God!”
He caught me and tugged me up to his chest. Looking into my eyes, he said, “This is one I have reserved for you…when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”
My laughter faded away as I looked up at him.
Lowering his head, he kissed me.
The world spun around me as his lips crushed mine. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I hung on as my knees actually went weak. So this was what it was like. Finally meeting the man for you. I kissed him back and I felt that insta-heat again as it spread through me and caused me to actually seep moisture between my thighs. Never had that happened before in my whole life. I just got lost in the kiss as the world receded. There was only us, only this kiss.
Finally, he broke the kiss. “Holy…” He shook his head.
I nodded as I held onto his arms. I felt the same way. I never really believed two people could have so much spark between them. I had believed it was just sex and the act. I now knew I had been wrong. Yes, I felt the pull of wanting him sexually, but I also felt a pull from my heart, from somewhere deep inside me. I never knew a man’s kiss could make me dizzy.
“I don’t care!” Someone yelled from the barn area.
Looking up, I saw the man they called Talon and another man called Logan as they were coming out through the barn doors.
Taking my arm, Prophet led me closer to them.
“It’s a fucking trap and you know it!” Talon told Logan.
“But we can’t just do nothing, Talon,” Logan stated quietly.
“Well, we can’t just trade her over either,” Redemption snapped as he stepped out from the barn and then he halted when he saw Prophet. He let out a sigh and shook his head.
Prophet and I stopped to stare at the group.
“What’s happening?” Prophet asked Redemption.
“Man, it’s a shitstorm.” Redemption looked troubled.
“Caused by?” Prophet asked him.
