When I step into him, his Adam’s apple bobs with an audible gulp. “What does that mean for us?”
Our gazes lock and hold. Green swirls into blue while I balance on the steep cliff. This moment is weighted in heavy contemplation. I can feel the commitment bearing down on me. Once I agree, Colton will be even more relentless. That doesn’t stop me from stretching my arms to loop around his neck.
Spud plops down on the floor beside our table, guarding our intimate bubble from invasion. It serves to remind me of the ties already stitching us together. We’re an unbreakable bond. I just have to accept it and then…
That unknown gives me pause, but not from doubt. I’ve never let myself be vulnerable. Especially not after my mom died. It’s scary and intimidating and exciting. Maybe I’ll get everything I haven’t dared to strive for. Only one way to find out.
Harsh breaths paint my mouth as I tug until our faces are inches apart. Colton trembles with restraint, waiting for me to give him a chance. I drift my nose along the slope of his. A slow inhale fills me with his addictive scent and reckless abandon. He bites his bottom lip, dragging the flesh between his teeth. I watch the seductive motion as if mesmerized.
Thunder drums in my ears when I whisper, “I’ll consider it.”
“Bianca,” Colton groans. “Please.”
“Ah, fuck it.” And then I swoop in for our first kiss.
Shock and relief slam into me simultaneously the instant Bianca’s mouth meets mine. I’m stunned into a brief stupor. My mind splits in a hundred directions before realizing this is actually happening.
After that, instinct floods in and I cinch an arm around her waist. A whimper breezes from her and she wiggles closer. My other hand lifts to cradle her jaw, fingers spreading to touch more of her. So damn soft.
I part my lips over hers on a rumbled inhale. She doesn’t hesitate to sweep her tongue out to glide along mine. Satisfaction and unbridled lust saturate my tastebuds as a reward for my patience. It’s intoxicating.
Molten desire pumps into my veins, making me feverish and frantic. I’m already hard for her. Pressure throbs into my dick, demanding release. Bianca mewls while bucking her hips forward. My palm kneads her ass and pulls to eliminate any remaining space. We’re pressed flush without a breath between us.
I sip on her exhale while she swallows my desperation for more. A shudder rolls through me when she nibbles on my lip. That spurs me to suck on her tongue, flicking the tip like I plan to do to her clit. The throaty noises she releases encourage me to repeat the motions. In response, her nails drag along my scalp and grasp onto the short strands. I tremble from the electric sensation, which has her smiling against my mouth.
Her happiness nurtures mine. The constant chill in my bones begins to thaw just having her in my hold. It might look like just a kiss, but this is where our forever starts. I’m more than ready to make her dreams come true. All I can beg for in return is that she makes an honest man outta me.
My gentle grip on her face allows me to control our pace. She sags into me and opens wider. Heat engulfs me as I bask in her surrender. Fucking finally.
Except she only agreed to consider it. That won’t do. I cling to her harder as if she’ll disappear or change her mind. To prove the opposite, Bianca moans and grinds against my cock shamelessly.
But then a shrill whistle rips into our frenzy. “Hit it and don’t quit it, girl.”
Our surroundings return in a flash. The fire in my veins sizzles like I stepped into a cold shower. Bianca notices I’ve gone rigid and not just in my dick. Her lips slide from mine in a farewell that hurts on a soul-crushing level. I’d rather lie on a bed of nails than quit touching her, but we’re making a scene. The silence in this bar is deafening.
She peeks up at me from under lowed lashes. “Was that too fast?”
I bark out a laugh and she blanches. “It was perfect, Princess. Just like you. But I’m not gonna maul you in a place called Dirty Dicks.”
“Seems more than appropriate.”
“Nobody gets to see your pleasure but me.”
We have an audience, but I don’t see them. Bianca fills my vision with her swollen lips and flushed skin. I drag my thumb along the curve of her mouth, traveling up to caress the red stain. When she nuzzles into me, I almost dive right back in.
But then I notice several men leering at what’s mine. Awareness crawls up my neck in violent flames.
Bianca gasps. “You’re blushing again.”
“I forgot where we are.”
Her lids droop to hood her eyes. “That good, huh?”
“Better.” I kiss the tip of her nose.
Another loud moan slips from her sinful lips. “Just take my panties off already.”
The fire burns hotter in my face and I dip down, pressing our foreheads together. “Gonna get me arrested, baby girl.”
