Yet do I stop him?
Hell no.
The tenderness is a balm to my stressed-out brain.
He leans closer, his hot breath tickling my hair near my ear. “You’re so fucking beautiful, Sloane.”
His words shock me, unable to speak or react. His nose nuzzles the shell of my ear. I shiver and lean closer to him rather than pull away.
Bad decision.
Pull away, girl.
“It drives me crazy that you’re so goddamn gorgeous and there’s nothing I can do about it except stare, marvel, and attempt to recreate on my iPad.”
He draws me?
I turn my head so I can see his eyes. The brilliant blue in his gaze is electric. As if he flicks on a switch, I’m soon all too aware of his delicious scent, manly size beside me, and the undercurrent of need rippling through him.
“Why can’t you do anything about it?” I ask, voice soft as I taunt him.
“Don’t play with me, babe. I almost think you’re asking for something I’m too willing to give.”
It’s a warning.
One last chance for me to be the behaved, responsible adult here.
She’s had a rough week, though, and this girl just wants—no, needs—this man.
“In case it’s not clear, Dempsey, I’m not asking. I’m telling. Do something about it.”
His eyes flicker with fire and then his fingers slip into my hair, curling around the strands to grip them tight. I gasp at how he devours me with just his gaze. A small groan escapes me when he tugs my head back. He follows my lips with his own, barely hovering over mine.
I’m not sure what sort of kiss to expect from him, but the sweet little peck he gives me nearly makes my heart explode.
Is that it?
He’s just going to tease me with a brush of his lips?
A growl of need rumbles from him and then his lips crash to mine. Not sweet or soft now. Hungry. No, starved. He kisses me like he wants to eat me alive. Each lash of his slick tongue against mine makes me grow dizzy and weak. He nips at my bottom lip here and there before sucking away the sting each time.
I’m kissing Dempsey Park.
Not just kissing but making out with him.
His lips leave mine, despite my pleading whine, and then he’s trailing wet, open-mouthed kisses along my cheek to my jaw. When his mouth latches on to my neck just under my ear, I nearly cry out with the sheer pleasure of it. I ache—everywhere—for him and wonder what he’d do if I straddled his lap to get closer. I’m heavily considering doing just that when I hear Kaden yelling.
I jerk away from Dempsey and he simply relaxes against the swing, smirking at me. I smooth my hair and wipe away the wetness on my face just as Kaden’s head pops through the back door.
“Food’s here!”
We’re both still panting from our wicked appetizer of a kiss. What would a whole evening of kisses feel like with him?
Sinful. Delicious. Addictive.
He reaches over and grips my chin between his finger and thumb. Hooded eyes drop to my mouth before he flashes me a sexy grin. “We’re going to do this again.”
I mirror his smile. “We damn well better.”
