Page 55 of Dare Me

“Do you remember the night we spent at Twin Peaks Park?”

“Vividly.”

“And remember how you said there was no way you’d make love to me in the middle of a public park?”

He nodded.

“Any chance you’ve reconsidered that stance? There’s a great park about two blocks from here that’s very private,” she said with her hand going right back to his upper thigh. “We won’t even have to get out of the car. I can just climb over the console and into your lap.”

He groaned and it was low and throaty and almost animalistic. “You have no idea how tempting that is, but…we can do this. Seven more minutes tops. Six if we don’t hit any lights.”

“Will…” she whined, but he wouldn’t be swayed.

Damn him and his self-control.

“I promise it will be worth it,” he said gruffly, and now it was his turn to reach over and squeeze her upper thigh. Arianna slowly uncrossed her legs and waited to see what he would do.

“I dare you,” she whispered. Although she knew it would just be a tease, she desperately needed him to touch her. “Please.”

A shaky breath escaped her lips as one finger teased a line up her inner thigh and then down the other without touching where she wanted it most.

“Such a tease,” she panted.

“I promise to make it up to you in less than five minutes,” he said while he continued to caress her thighs.

She never considered this to be a turn-on, but right now, he could probably touch any part of her body and she’d be crying out for more.

They took the entrance to the parking lot on practically two wheels and by the time they parked, Arianna couldn’t care less about all the purchases. They could bring them up later. Right now she needed for them to run up the four flights—why was there no elevator?!—and do their best to make up for lost time.

Just like he had in the parking lot, Will scooped her up in his arms and took the stairs two at a time.

“What…Will!” she cried. “You can’t carry me up four flights!”

“Oh, I can and I believe I am,” he said. “I’ve spent a lot of time in the service, Arianna. Carrying you is a breeze.”

Hell, even that turned her on.

“Hurry,” she whispered and when he put her on her feet outside her door, she was all thumbs as she tried to unlock it. Will finally had to take the keys from her hands and do it himself.

No sooner were they through the door than Will kicked it shut and hauled her up and pressed her against the walls. Her legs immediately wrapped around his waist as they met in the most savage kiss of her life. She’d never known passion like this—so hot and intense and needy.

God, am I needy…

There was nothing graceful about their movements. It was all frantic and a little clumsy, and even though there was a perfectly good mattress on the floor about ten feet away, Will continued to grind against her in the most delicious way. Her hands tightly gripped his hair as she moved with him. The wall was good, but this position wasn’t allowing any room for her to whip her pants off like she really wanted to do.

“Will,” she panted. “Bed…naked…please…” Every word was torture because it meant breaking this dirty, sensual kiss. Fortunately, he took pity on her and carried her into her tiny bedroom and lowered them both to the mattress.

When he lifted his head and looked down at her, she almost orgasmed right there. He was so freaking sexy, and the heated look in his eyes was her undoing.

“Truth or dare, Arianna?” he whispered, and his words held all kinds of promise.

Biting her lip, she said, “Truth.”

Will reached out and skimmed one finger down her cheek. “What is it that you want me to do right now?”

That was easy…

“I want you to strip me naked—maybe even rip my panties right off of me—and then take me hard and fast,” she said, practically begging. “Just like I said in the car.”
