“Andre…”
He nipped at her earlobe and said, “Violet…”
“Ireallydon’t want to be late tonight,” she said. “But I alsoreallywant to put my slimy hands all over you.”
He chuckled, walked around the table, and began pleating the fabric.
“That’sit?” she snapped. “You’re not even going to try to get your way?”
“For now.” He leaned in for a kiss, and she scowled at him.
“You’re a tease.”
“You ain’t seen nothin’ yet, babe. Teasing you is half the fun. I never know if I’ll get Daisy or Violet when we get in bed. Tonight I plan on having both. First I’ll make love to you slow and sweet until you can barely breathe.”
Her insides heated up. “Stop it.”
“Then I’m going to take you hard and a little rough, just the way you like it,” he said as he worked, his eyes flicking up to gauge her reaction every few seconds, which made his words even hotter. “I’ll take you right up to the edge of ecstasy and hold you there—”
“How’s it coming?” Justin asked as he came through the door, looking especially broody. His face was pinched and his brows were drawn tight.
Violet’s hands were shaking, and she was sure her cheeks were flushed. She dipped her head so Justin couldn’t see her and focused on the material as she tried to regain control.
Andre cocked a grin and said, “Slowandsteady.”
Violet glared at him.
Justin admired their work but didn’t crack a smile. “Looks like you’ve got her nice and wet.”
“That’s the goal,” Andre said, his gaze flicking up to hers. They both stifled a laugh.
“It has to be wet to shape the fabric,” Violet said, trying to force her mind to think of the project rather than Andre’s sexy promises. She peered over the sculpture, watching his hands move deftly as he created pleats in the fabric. There was something about watching her big, strong man creating something so delicate and beautiful that sucked her right in.
“Are you going to be done in time to go to the coffeehouse?” Justin asked. He would be there with the rest of the Dark Knights to honor his cousin’s memory.
“We wouldn’t miss it. Are you okay?” She fished out another piece of fabric and placed it across the other shoulder, draping it diagonally down the body.
“Yeah, fine,” Justin said. “Just dealing with something.”
“Anything we can help with?” she asked.
Healmostsmiled and said, “No. It’s cool. Thanks.”
“I’m sorry about your cousin,” Andre said.
“Yeah, we all are. She was a great girl.” His eyes swept over the fabric again, and he said, “Looks like you’ve met your match, Vi. He’s got talented hands.”
You have no idea…
“I’m taking off,” Justin said, heading for the door. “I want to spend time with Dwayne and his family before the rally.”
The second he walked out the door, lust simmered in Andre’s eyes and he said, “As I was saying—”
She leaned across the table and pressed her lips to his in a slow, sensual kiss.
“If you want to have any chance at mattress dancing with Daisy and getting down and dirty with Violet, then focus on the work at hand,” she said. “If we don’t finish in time for the rally, the only action you’ll be getting is the vibration of the bike between your legs.”
He smirked, and that confidence made him even sexier.
