“What are you gonna do about it?”

“I’ll… I’ll steal something else.”

Pulling the pop from his mouth, he shot her a challenging smirk over his shoulder. “Oh yeah? What’s that?”

Andy rose to her knees behind him, one hand at his back, the other gripping his jaw as it angled her way. “This,” she whispered right before touching her lips to his.

That was it.

Just one quick press of her cool, minty lips against his warm, cherry ones.

But it was enough. It was enough for Luke to know there was no 99.9 percent about it. He loved this woman. He loved her all the way. In every way. With all the breaths in his body.

They were all hers, his breaths. She could steal them whenever she wanted with more of these sweet kisses. Luke was about to tell her as much, but then he felt a wet, tentative caress against the seam of his mouth, and he was sidetracked again.

Opening for her, it was all Luke could do to keep himself in check. All he could do not to love on her exploring tongue with his own. Especially when hers swept over his, and she exhaled the sexiest little whimper of approval.

She pulled away, lids at half-mast, lips grazing his. “Why do you taste so good?”

“It’s probably the candy.”

“Uh-uh. It’s more than that.”

“Ah,” he murmured, “you must be tasting your puss—”

She shut him up with another kiss. This time — knowing she was into it — Luke took control. Pulling her onto his lap, he sank a hand into her hair and angled her lips to worship them properly. Just as he’d worshiped her other ones. Drawing the soft fleshy lip she was always gnawing on between his, he sucked until she squirmed. Then he did the top one. Then he plunged in between them both, thrusting deep.

Andy’s tongue matched his stroke for greedy stroke, and the kiss spiraled until Luke was nearing the point of needing another condom.

Then Andy — mean little bird that she was — scrambled off his lap and dropped her gaze to his semi. “No,” she told it sternly. “Not until after we get to my apartment, and I’ve made sure Petals has had her freedom.”

Luke groaned. “Fair enough.”

They dressed quickly — Luke throwing on a pair of shorts and another tank, Andy pulling on her rumpled dress because no way were any of his cargos going to fit her — then they headed down to the parking lot.

At his bike, Andy brushed a finger over her swollen lips. Catching the gesture, Luke grinned.

“I didn’t expect to enjoy it so much.” Her gaze fluttered up to his. “The kissing, I mean.”

“I know.” He handed her a helmet. “You gonna switch it to your list of likes?”

She stared at the helmet as she considered this. “I’m not sure it topped penis-in-vagina, but it was a really close second. I definitely like it.” Her big blues came back to him, and her smile widened into something that stole another of his breaths. “Maybe I even loved it.”

“Maybe I love you.”

She snorted at his proclamation, gaze falling. “I totally know that already.”

He laughed. “How’s that?”

She shrugged, now grinning shyly. “Because that’s the big emotion Little Bird feels for His Tallness.”

Well, hot damn.

Luke had nothing more to say to that.

So he kissed her instead.
