“I got an image of you in the tub. Nice and romantic and then I figured you’d have music going and it’d be the head-banging type with sirens and alarms going.”
She laughed with him. “I’m never going to live this down. My mother even gave me a hard time about that too.” She leaned in close to him. “When I do take a bath, I enjoy all those romantic things you were thinking of.”
He groaned. “I figured. No tub here for you to soak in.”
“I don’t see you as a tub kind of guy.”
“Not really. I’ll put one in the hall bath. There should always be one in the house.”
“For kids,” she said.
He squinted at her. “Not on the radar.”
She giggled. “I bet. So, how hungry are you?”
“Very,” he said, backing her against the wall. “For something other than food.”
She allowed herself to be pinned, then lifted her arms and put them over his head. “You know, Jace, for a guy who made it seems as if he was just a fuck buddy, it’s taking you a long time to get a kiss.”
“Maybe I’m trying something new.”
“Why is that?” she whispered against his lips. “It better not be because of who my brother is.”
“I don’t care who your brother is. I care who you are.”
He actually paused when those words came out of his mouth.
Where the fuck had they come from?
She didn’t give him a chance to think more on it though when her mouth landed on his.
The kiss started slow on her end.
He turned it up on his.
He nudged her mouth open, his tongue sliding in, playing, teasing, tasting.
She let out a little sexy moan that sent the blood spiraling through his body.
Anyone else, he might have wanted to pick up and toss on his bed.
He hesitated with Talia.
Was it her age?
Or something more he was afraid to address?
She lifted her head, her eyes staring into his.
They were wide and full of arousal, but also confusion.
Yeah, welcome to the club!

SO FULL OF YOURSELF
“Good thing you’re cooking, though I said I would. I’m not so great on the grill.”
