“Your niceness is your flaw. I can’t have a boyfriend who is as nice as you. Been there, done that, not doing it again.” Xolani said, “I need someone who is good to me, but is an asshole to everyone else.”
“I can be an asshole.”
“Who? You? With that face that’s always smiling?” She laughed and slapped his leg playful. “Maybe in your next life.”
It was an innocent touch, but that spot remained warm long after and ignited embers that had been slowly burning in the background of his emotions.
Without thinking, he offered, “Try me.”
“Try you?” She laughed again. “I thought I was outside your dating pool?”
He watched her for a long silent moment before asking, “Can I make a confession?”
She shrugged. “Confess away.”
“Remember when we were on the airplane?” he asked. When she nodded, he revealed, “I fell hard for you then.”
A sharp breath gushed from her lips even as her eyes widened. “Did you now?”
“I did. You and I connected on that flight in a way that I’ve never felt before.” Feeling an irresistible urge to be much closer to her, he scooted forward a bit and touched the hand that had just slapped his leg. “It’s like I can talk to you about anything and everything. And it certainly doesn’t hurt that you’re incredibly beautiful. How could I not fall for you?”
“Oh!” Xolani was stunned by his admission. “I see.”
“If you weren’t my coworker, I would date you in a heartbeat,” he admitted.
“Well…” Her tongue peeked out to brush nervously against her lips before she revealed, “If you weren’t so nice, I might date you too.”
His lips quirked. “Might?”
“Might,” she insisted with a smile. “I can’t make any promises about how I’d act.”
The conversation had already slipped past friendly banter and was deep in flirting territory. Barry’s common sense told him that it was time to back away, but his body wouldn’t let him. Keeping his gaze locked to hers, he intertwined her long, slender fingers with his. “So about this might; if we dated, how do you think things would’ve gone?”
“Isn’t that obvious?” Her expression turned seductive. “We wouldn’t have been able to keep our hands off each other. I’d be in your bed on Day One.”
He went hard.
His cock jerked like she’d just squeezed it, and his brain immediately conjured images of her naked and in his bed. She’d look fantastic in there with her breasts jiggling and her legs splayed out, waiting for him to get between them.
His mouth was dry as he croaked, “Don’t tease me, Xo.”
“You call that teasing? I haven’t even started.” She let go of his hand and got to a kneeling position on the sofa.
Like a cat that was stalking its prey, she crawled closer to him. He arched backward until his back was plastered to the seat’s arm.
Hovering just a few inches from his face, she murmured, “If we were dating, I’d do a lot worse than just tease you. Be glad that you’re not my type. I’m too much for you.”
Oh! She was a wild little minx, wasn’t she?
Taming her would be a pleasure.
He imagined how she’d melt into his kisses then return them passionately. He imagined tearing her clothes off her as she tore off his. There would be a battle for dominance as they both fought to drive the other mad first. But he’d win. He’d make her scream as he fucked the wildness out of her.
His lustful thoughts sent more blood racing to his cock. The organ jutted against his pants like it was trying to escape and get to her. He gripped the edge of the sofa hard to keep from grabbing her and making all his dreams come true.
Xolani’s gaze slowly moved from his eyes down to his lips. She lingered there for a second before her gaze lowered down his torso then to his groin. His erection was as obvious as day.
“See.” With a laugh, she crawled backward then settled back in her spot. ‘You can’t handle me.”
