Page 55 of Keeping Eveline

The trip back from the restaurant was made in silence, but everything within Ox was buzzing. He shouldn’t have kissed her before they’d eaten, but he couldn’t ignore the pull anymore.

He wanted her.

Wanted her in the most basic of ways. Needed to make her his. Was that arrogant and presumptuous of him?

Sure, but he’d seen the desire in her face. Ox had felt the way her body had arched into his. He’d sensed the same desperation in her that filled him.

Dinner had been fun, and conversation had been easy. Everything about it reminded him of the night they’d met. Where the only correct way it was to end was her in his bed—which’d happened.

Was about to happen again.

Ox couldn’t turn back what’d happened afterward, but he could change it now. Make a new memory. Or memories. Because once he had her again, he wouldn’t be letting her go.

He startled when her fingers stroked his thigh. Luckily, he hadn’t veered off the road with how much electricity that small touch created buzzed along his blood stream.

“Kyle?”

God, he loved the way his name sounded from her lips. Loved that she called him Kyle and not Ox. “Yeah, baby?”

“When we get home . . .” Eveline paused.

Ox chanced a look and bit back a groan as he caught the swipe of her tongue across her bottom lip. He didn’t miss the way the swell of her breasts rose as she took a deep breath, as though she was bracing herself to say something momentous.

“I want you,” she said.

Fuck, there it was.

She wanted him as much as he wanted her.

“Want you, too.” Ox pressed his foot a little lower on the accelerator and prayed there wouldn’t be a traffic jam, delaying them getting to his place.

Fortunately, luck was on his side, and in ten minutes, he was pulling safely into the undercover parking garage beneath his building.

Eveline hadn’t moved her hand from his thigh. Well, she’d tried but he’d placed his hand over hers, keeping it in place.

They didn’t speak, as they took the elevator up to his floor. If he pulled her into him, he’d commit an act that the security officers monitoring the building’s cameras had probably seen from some other residents, but never from him. Not even the first night he’d brought Eveline home.

The second his front door closed behind them, Ox hauled Eveline close and turned so her back was against the door.

He didn’t even give her a chance to say a word before his mouth found hers and let her know in no uncertain terms how much he wanted her.

Her fingers clutched his shoulders, as if Eveline didn’t want to let go.

There was only one word for this kiss—ownership. Both were laying down stakes declaring that they belonged to each other.

Ox welcomed the ownership.

“Bedroom,” she pushed against his mouth.

“Soon.” He dipped his hand beneath the hem of her skirt and stroked her thighs, the muscles quivering at the touch.

Fuck, she was so responsive. Then again, if Eveline touched him, his body would do the same thing.

Ox bunched the fabric up around her hips. He found the edge of her panties and traced it.

Eveline moaned against his mouth and wiggled her ass, encouraging him to take the touch from light to heavy. “Kyle, please,” she begged when he bypassed her pussy and continued his journey.

“Soon, baby, soon.”
