Page 16 of Unexpected Forever
A hand comes up to the back of my raised knee, and his tongue runs a wet line up my neck. “Your brother is in love with my sister. And he carries a gun.”
Our lips meet briefly. “It would just complicate things when we see each other again.”
A whisper in my ear. “I hate one-night stands.”
My body shivers but I’m on fire. “We have nothing in common.”
He drops kisses along my jaw. “I’m too old for you.”
“Lucky for you I like to push the envelope sometimes.”
His eyes meet mine, and his lips curve into a slow smile that makes my body vibrate with lust. “I like a woman who takes risks.”
I raise up a finger. “But let’s be clear. It’s just a onetime bad idea, right?
“One time only.” He tilts his head. “But something tells me it will be the best onetime bad idea I’ve ever had.”
God, this man and the compliments. He doesn’t need them to get me into bed, especially since that kiss alone would make a nun want to burn her habit.
“You bet your ass it will be.” I lay my hands on his chest and rise on my tiptoes, bringing our lips within a breath of each other. “Take me to your bed, Nate.”
His hands land on my waist and squeeze. “You’re sure? Once I get you in that room, it’s going to be hard to stop from doing all the dirty things to you.”
I narrow my eyes, searching his face and taking in the seriousness of his tone. It dawns on me a guy like Nate has to be careful with girls wanting to sell stories to the tabloids.
My hands cup his cheeks, his facial hair surprisingly soft under my palms. “Nate Gentry, I’m sure. Now, I need you to take me up to room seven and fuck me senseless. Clear enough for you?”
His eyes grow dark and he licks his lips. Yeah, he’s going to eat me alive.
I can’t wait.
“Crystal clear.”
He bends down and picks up one of my shoes. On one knee, he looks up and pats his thigh. I take his cue and lift my foot onto it. The muscles underneath the fabric of his slacks are firm and powerful.
But his large hands are gentle as he maneuvers my foot into the shoe and brings the strap around the back of my ankle. I hold my breath the whole time while he does the same thing for the other foot.
But once the strap is in place, his fingers dance up the back of my calf, caressing my skin. As his hand inches up my thigh, he takes the hem of my dress with it.
He lifts his gaze to mine, holding my stare as he kisses the inside of my thigh, making me gasp.
His other hand moves closer to my core, where there’s so much pressure I feel faint.
A fingertip lines the edge of my thong before he drags it along my slit.
My hips buck and I bite my lip to hold back a whimper while he strokes me.
Long before I want him to stop, he stands and licks his finger. With a grin on his face, he says, “Hmmm…you’re sweet.”
“You’re wicked.”
“I’m just getting started.”

I don’t knowwhat it is about Charley—the sassy mouth, the banging body, it could be anything really when it comes to her—but the animalistic need to possess her overwhelms me.
