“The truth is that I didn’t want any other man in that bar, Shep. It was you who I wanted, and we both know that’s not possible.”

My hands ran up her spine, tangling in her hair as I brought her mouth to mine.

The kiss scorched my lips, turning my mouth nearly numb with desire as my tongue tasted her lips and then her tongue. Sweetness filled me as a little moan escaped through our kiss as she pressed her body against mine.

When she felt the hardness between us, I felt her mouth lift into a smile between kisses, which only made me want her more. The warmth of her body on mine made my body ignite into a flurry of need so raw that I ached.

I pulled my mouth away ever so slightly, and she shook her head, combing her fingers through my short hair. “Please don’t stop.”

I smiled, reaching for the remote to shut the blinds, and she giggled.

“I didn’t even think of that. They could get an eyeful.” She pressed her forehead against mine before running her fingers under my shirt, over my stomach, and to my chest.

“If I’m lucky,” I whispered, feeling her body melt into mine.

Her fingers sliding along my chest made me shiver as our eyes remained connected to one another. I’d never experienced that before with a woman.

Part of me wanted to shove her clothes off and devour her, and the other part of me was afraid that once we fully went there, she’d find an excuse not to see me again.

Lucy nuzzled her nose against mine, and any reluctance she’d had earlier seemed to have vanished as she ground her hips against me.

I shook my head with a smile and kissed her again in between her tugging my shirt off with one hand while caressing my chest with the other.

She pulled her mouth away slowly, softly nipping at my bottom lip before she sank her mouth to my chest, softly kissing each area as if it were new to her.

I opened my eyes to see Lucy’s arms running over my bare chest and her mess of hair sprawled over it, making the fire burn hotter.

Lucy had me in a complete stupor as her hands slid to my pants and began to unbutton them. I hissed as her hair slid across my stomach.

She looked up at me, licking her lips, and I pulled her on top of me, yanking her top away and slipping her bra off.

It was as if I needed to consume this woman, feel every part of her skin against mine. The way her breasts squished into my chest. Her nipples were hard and enticing as we kissed again.

This time, it was me who let out the moan when her hands went into my boxers. She tightened her grip around me, easing me into unexpected ecstasy as I cupped one of her breasts in my hand while the other was in my mouth.

Her body writhed against me, and we weren’t even completely naked as she brought me so close to the edge, but I shifted away without breaking our kiss. The throbbing only built as I moved my hand down the front of her slacks, lifting the edge of her panties as my fingers slid into her.

Lucy let out a little whimper of pleasure as my thumb found her perfect rhythm.

And before I knew what was happening, her fingers clenched back around me, and we both fell over the edge of pleasure, her breathing ragged as her voice freed something inside me.

Chapter Twenty-Four

Stuck at Third

Lucy

“A swing and a miss, Danni. I feel like I’m back in high school, but I never got this far back then.” I laughed, changing my phone to speaker mode as I sat curled up on my couch in the family room. “We get so close to sex, and then somehow, we just do all sorts of other things. I’m scared to let him take me to that next step.”

Danni snorted. “I wish I had your problems. God forbid. You’re playing footsie with Seattle’s Most Eligible Bachelor.”

I groaned. “I can’t believe I just did that. And it’s more than footsie, just for the record.”

“How much more?” Danni teased.

“Think of all the things you can do without going all the way. That’s what we’ve done.”

“Wow, Lucy. This is definitely uncharted territory for you.”
