Page 28 of Such a Good Girl

“No.” She wrinkled her nose. “I don’t really keep up with all that. I mean, I know who you are, of course. But I only saw you in that one vampire movie — The Sanctuary? That was great. I mean, I liked the book better, but you were great. That’s what I meant.”

I couldn’t believe my ears. She didn’t know anything about the divorce?

“I’m shocked. I thought everyone knew about it.”

“Not everybody pays attention to celebrity gossip. I only do a tiny bit.” She shrugged. “Do you want to talk about it?”

My eyes met hers and my heart skipped a beat. Outside of my therapist, nobody wanted to hear me talk about my divorce. Rosie didn’t even know me, but there she was, looking up at me with her eyes full of compassion and kindness. For the first time in my life, I had no idea what to do with myself.

“Stand up,” I whispered, my voice a low growl. “Please.”

She nodded and pulled herself to her feet, standing an inch away. Her breasts heaved between us, restrained only by the shiny latex.

“Thank you,” I whispered.

“For what?” She bit her bottom lip, the gesture driving me out of my mind. My cock throbbed between us, desperately trying to close the distance between her center and mine.

“Being human,” I said. “I forget that kind people exist.”

A slow smile spread across her face, lighting up her eyes. “You’re welcome. I had a difficult ex myself. I understand. At least a little.”

I knew I shouldn’t do it. I knew it could open up a window for danger. That it wouldn’t end well.

I didn’t give a fuck.

I did what I wanted.

When my lips met hers, it was like diving into a white-hot heat.

Fiery.

Loud.

Hard.

She gasped in initial surprise. But then her lips welcomed me easily, opening, inviting, melting under my kiss. My tongue darted out, flicking her bottom lip, her body answering with another gasp that escaped deep from her mouth.

She tasted like whiskey and peaches and pure lust.

My hand flew up, my fingers tangled in a handful of her thick, soft hair. I pulled her head back so I could delve deeper into her hot mouth with my hungry tongue. I kissed her with all the passion I’d been holding back these last few hours, my other hand gripping her hip and pulling her in close, my cock throbbing against her bare thigh.

The heat was electric between us, flowing as a rush of desire that seemed to ignite in both of us. Her hand found the back of my head, and she pulled me down, her kiss matching the intensity of my hunger, her moans escaping into my mouth as my tongue tangled with hers.

When she finally pulled away, her glassy eyes stared up at me in shock, her lips glistening and swollen.

“My god,” she whispered.

I cupped her cheeks, which had flushed a perfect shade of pink. “You’re blushing. You’re as pretty as a little rose.”

She blushed harder, shaking her head. “You’re a good kisser,” she whispered, not making any move to distance herself from me.

“You’re incredibly sexy, Rosie.” My voice was thick with lust. Moving my thumb to her bottom lip, still wet with my saliva, I pressed hard, slowly sliding back and forth over its plumpness. “I don’t know what you’ve done to me, but I plan on devouring you. I don’t know when…or where…but I think it’s important that you’re aware of my intentions. If I don’t do something to get you out of my system, I’m going to explode.”

“Wow,” she whispered, her green eyes widening. Her tongue darted out, licking my finger as she held my deep gaze. “Now I know.”

“Now you know,” I agreed, nodding slowly, my thumb circling her tongue.
