Impossible.
Whatever fire’s stirring inside me, she’s fanning the flames like a deranged arsonist. Every sweep of her tongue, every movement of her lips, every arch of her body encourages me to burn all the way down to ashes.
Is this what loving Nova in the light is like?
Is this what it means to free my heart from the shadows and give it room to beat for her?
All this destruction?
All this heat?
All this wanting?
My pulse picks up.
I have to stop this if we plan on actually going on the date.
I have to reel myself in. I’ve done it for almost a decade, one more day can’t hurt, right?
Snarling at my chaperone of a brain, I inch back while still keeping Nova pinned to the car. The pulse in my pants is screaming to abandon the schedule and just throw her in the backseat. Drag her knees up to her ears. Hold her in place while I make the car rock and squeal and protest.
I dig my fingers over her hips because her rubbing on me isn’t helping to keep me on task.
Nova gives me a little smile when she kisses the corner of my mouth, like she knows what she does to me and finds it amusing.
Holy crap.
She’s filleting me like a chef, nudging me open with those soft, sweet kisses on my face. But her eyes are anything but sweet. They’re glowing, glazed, dilated and framed by all those gorgeous black curls—her own personal halo.
“Adam,” she parts her swollen lips, her lipstick already smeared and fading, “you didn’t have to bring me to an empty parking lot to touch me. We could have done all this at home.”
“Uh, no. That’s not…” I want to stay here, hugging and kissing Nova all day instead of going inside, but we’re on a schedule. Taking a harsh breath, I tear away from her.
While I adjust myself, she pops out a little mirror and fixes her makeup.
“Come on.” I reach back, grab her hand and lead her into the warehouse.
The doors slide apart automatically and then we’re walking into an air-conditioned store. The inside is way more appealing than the outside. The walls are painted blue and purple. There are long shelves filled with every kind of stationary imaginable.
Nova snaps her sunglasses off and I see her eyes lighting up like a kid at Christmas.
“Adam…” she says in a warning voice.
“This is a stationary emporium. The biggest one in the state.”
“What?” Her smile broadens. “I’ve wanted to come here forever, but I’ve never had time.” She stops and glances around. “Where is everyone? I heard this place was always packed.”
I clear my throat. “Today must be a slow day.”
“It’s Saturday.”
I blink innocently.
She tilts her head up at me. “Adam, did you shut this place down for me?”
I shrug.
“That’s so excessive!” she gasps.
