“That’s good. So, how do you feel about that rain check? Do you think you’re up to it?” Paul breathed along her neck, bringing her body to life.

Evelyn closed her eyes while he wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her tightly against his hard cock. Pleasure tightened her lower stomach. Yes, she needed this, needed the distraction to get her mind off Stephen and Brandon. Both were beginning to worm their way into her vaulted life. But even as she thought it, something didn’t feel right about leaving with, not just Paul, but any man. Damn, she was confused.

“I rode with a friend,” Evelyn whispered low enough to where she was sure he hadn’t heard her.

“I brought my car. We’ll even get a place on the island. That way, it’ll be closer to where you live. How’s that?”

“Sounds good.” Heat poured from Evelyn’s body. The need to be touched heightened her senses. A whole two weeks and she hadn’t had sex once. Usually someone filled the gap until the weekend, but with Stephen and Brandon over all the time, she hadn’t even thought about it.

“Let’s go get your things, and we’ll head out.”

Evelyn nodded and led him off the dance floor. A smile formed on her face. Yes, this was the Evelyn she knew and was comfortable with, the one who had been reborn after her heart had been smashed to pieces. Now she felt better.

Chapter 16

“I’m out, ladies. Melissa, thank you so very much for the ride. Be careful on your way home, or wherever you end up tonight. Call me tomorrow.” Evelyn winked at them. She grabbed her clutch off the table, and Paul pulled her body against his.

“See you ladies later. You all have a wonderful night.” Paul led Evelyn out of the crowded bar.

The grip he had on her waist tightened as they approached a two-door Mercedes. “Do you like to go fast, Evelyn?” Paul asked her, pinning her against the passenger door of the car.

Evelyn moaned while he pushed against her and his thigh rubbed against her pussy. “Yes, I love going fast.”

“Good, we’ll get there in record time. I didn’t want to scare you more than I already do,” he said and nibbled on her ear.

“What makes you think I’m scared of you?”

“Oh, you’re not anymore, but you were. I promise I don’t bite too hard. You might even enjoy it.”

Evelyn’s brows furrowed. Biting…there was that damn pulling feeling. The door opened, and she got in the two-seater sports car. Paul did exactly the same thing she had done with Brandon. He peeled out and drifted around the turn so smoothly that Evelyn smiled.

“Impressive. Say, you’re not a cop, are you?”

Rich laughter filled the car while he weaved in and out of traffic. “No, sorry, not even close.”

“You drive like one of the best.”

“Decades of practice, my dear,” Paul said, smiling at her. “Yeah, okay.” Evelyn laughed. “Decades, my ass.”

Within five minutes, Paul had gone twice the distance. At this rate, they’d be on the island in no time. The night was just getting better and better.

The door clicked, and Evelyn looked from the lock to Paul. “Evelyn, lean on the door and move down my way.”

Understanding his meaning, she smiled and did as he said. The windows came down and the wind whipped around furiously. Evelyn’s hair floated around her like a black curtain while she looked into Paul’s golden eyes. There was no fear, just pure exhilaration.

“Touch me,” she told him.

Paul smiled and slid his hand along her inner thigh until he reached her red silk panties.

After trailing his fingers along the thin lining, he slid them inside the material and ripped her panties off.

Evelyn didn’t so much as move. She wanted more. This was exactly what she needed. Paul’s fingers trailed along her folds, smoothing in her wetness. At the brush against her clit, Evelyn moaned, sinking lower to give him more access.

“Damn, you smell good.” Paul groaned, sliding the finger with her juices into his mouth. “Fuck, you taste good, too. I want you. Come here, we’re going to try something new.”

Paul undid his pants, and Evelyn knew exactly what he wanted to do because she had thought of it at the same time. She pulled a condom wrapper out of her clutch, opened it, and slid the condom down his cock.

They were on the pitch-black highway leading to the island. Not a car was in sight. Evelyn crawled into his lap, leaning to the side to give him view of the road. Inch by inch, she slid down his length.
