Page 135 of The Rules Of Attraction
This thing I had with him was supposed to be exactly that. A thing.
Something that would come to an end when we burnt out.
When he said things like that and considered us dating it was hard to think of myself being without him.
“What do you feel?”
“Everything.” He breathed.
The first thing that I’d ever noticed about this man was the intense effect he could have on me.
Strong and powerful, undiluted emotion always surged through me. Right from that night when I first met him.
“Everything?” I asked trying to keep my heart from racing.
“Have I scared you? You look scared.”
“No, I’m not.” That was perhaps a lie. Giving into my feelings did scare me, but now that I thought about it I saw that I’d given into my feelings well before now. It was the day we agreed to this arrangement of ours. When I accepted his offer and our rules of attraction. “I feel everything too.”
My answer wasn’t one just to return the sentiment. It was indeed how I felt.
Truly.
He cupped my face and brought me down to his lips for a sweet, soulful kiss. One that reflected the ripple of desire, and emotion that surrounded us. I felt it move through my entire being, filling every cell in my body with new life. When he pulled back I felt heat escape me, and lost without his lips on mine.
I moved in for another kiss, playful this time and did that thing he did where he tugged on my bottom lip.
“Sexy as hell baby.” His voice was husky with a sexual desire that mirrored my own. He pulled back again and chuckled.
“I want you.” I whispered into his ear.
“Jesus, angel. We need to get inside now before I take you here.” He gave me another quick kiss. “Let’s go. Looks like we’re attracting an audience. This guy is clearly jealous of me.” He motioned his chin and looked over my shoulder.
I twisted slightly to look and froze in place, my heart practically leaping out of my chest.
Fury almost choked me.
The person watching us wasn’t justsomeguy.
It was Tom.
