“He knew.” Connorconfirmed.
“He knew how you felt about me?” Her bottom lip trembled slightly and he hated that they were having this conversation here and now but he nodded and she bit her bottom lip, “He knew how I felt abouthim?”
“Lu…” He softened his voice as well and when she winced he pulled her into his arms and lowered his forehead to hers. “It doesn’t matter now. None of it matters. Can’t you see that? See me. Focus on me. I’m right here withyou.”
Her dark eyes had taken on that faraway look she sometimes got when she was thinking or when she was dancing and got caught up in the music and drifted off to somewhere only sheknew.
Connor slid his hand to her ass. He had to distract her. Had to. He couldn’t let her get lost in wondering what Derek had known and when and for how long. He wouldn’t let her wonder why Derek still hadn’t chosen her. Connor had. He’d chosen her today and every day before even if she didn’t know it. He’d distracted her plenty of times with his words but now that he’d felt the magic of having her in his arms, he wanted to distract her with hisbody.
Lulu let out a small gasp as he palmed her ass and her eyes refocused on him, “Connor!”
“What?” He feigned innocence as he cupped a small little round cheek and used the handful to pull her closer, her body up againsthis.
Another little gasp came from her when her stomach rubbed against the erection he’d been sporting since the moment he saw her, “We’re inpublic.”
She was trying to get him to stop. Supposedly. Her words were telling him not to make a scene. But the way her lips curved upwards, the way she slid her hand to the small of his back, keeping him close, the way she didn’t even try to push him away, told a different storyaltogether.
“And?” He slid his other hand to her ass, holding her tight against him as he gave a roll of his hips, rubbing his length againsther.
“And…” The word came out breathless as her back arched and she tangled her hands in his hair, pulling him down towards her. She met his eyes when she whispered, “And you’re making me wantyou.”
“It’s about fucking time.” He growled a moment before he took her mouth right there in the middle of the resort with Derek, Aubrey, God and everybodywatching.
