“Yes…” I gasp.“Very much.”
Too much.The excitement of being in a public place,surrounded by dozens of people, is extremely erotic.
“Look at me.”
I turn my head toward him, slightly shaking.He insertsanother finger, slowly fucking me under the table while his thumb makes smallcircles on my clit.
“Do you want to come, or should I stop?”
He could have been commenting on the weather for all anyoneknows.I can’t speak because if I open my mouth, we’ll surely be discovered.Afterone last look around, I nod slowly.
“Yes you want to come, or yes I should stop?”
I shake my head.
“No, you don’t want to?”
Ugh!He knows what I mean.He just wants to hear me say it.I lean in, placing my left cheek on his so no one can see my face.
“I want… you… to make me come.”
The rhythm of his fingers changes and doubles the sensationsflowing through my body.I sink my nails into his thigh, fighting the urge tocry out.
“When I tell you to, kiss me.”Applause rings out from the crowd,and he whispers against my cheek.“Now.”
The moment he says the word, I press my lips to his.My mindknows he was talking about the kiss, but my body still answers the call.As mymuscles begin to contract, he withdraws his fingers and slides his arm aroundmy waist.The applause drowns out my whimper, and he holds me against him tomediate my tremors.I wrap my arms around his neck, totally forgetting where weare.It is he who finally ends our kiss.
“That’s one,” he mutters.
“Are we boring you, McKenzie?”
He breaks away, turning to the mayor.“Not at all, Mr.Mayor.Miss Bryan is just more enticing.”
“I agree.”He chuckles.“If my wife looked like her, I’dprobably be doing the same thing.”
I doubt it.I reach for Ethan’s napkin and wipe the lipstickfrom his lips.He gives me a conspiratorial smile before turning back to the mayor.
“Will you gentlemen excuse me, please?”He looks over at me curiously,and I smile.“I have to repair the damage you did to my makeup.”
And clean myself up.He nods in understanding,stands, and helps me up.
“I’ll come with you.”
“That’s not necessary, Ethan,” I say with a smile.What’s hegoing to do, stand guard outside the door?Jeez.His disappointment is obvious,but he says nothing.“Mr.Mayor.”
“Hurry back before he sends out a search party.”
I giggle at the mayor’s funny and totally correctassessment.On the way to the bathroom, I acknowledge a few appreciative glanceswith a smile.Ethan’s not the only hot commodity here.One guy grabs my hand asI pass by his table.
“Save me a dance, beautiful?”
Oh, please.I execute an Olympics-worthy eye roll in mymind.
“I would, but my dance card’s full.Sorry.”
“My loss.”
I pull my hand from his and continue on my way, ignoring thedeath stares from a few women.That guy was cute, definitely the type of guy Iusually go for, but I wasn’t even mildly interested.I freeze in my tracks atthe bathroom door as realization dawns on me.Shit.I’m in a relationship.Shaking my head, I step through the door.How the hell did this happen?Notonly did I not want one, but I thought I was doing everything possible to avoidone.The sneaky bastard crept up on me and made himself a fixture in my life.Fuck.
