Adam settles me in his lap and traces a line down my shoulder. “Still like it?”
“Technically, I’m sitting on your lap. Not the swing.”
“Well, this is as close as you’re gonna get tonight, so…”
I laugh and then settle into a smile.
One tan finger rises and traces my mouth. Our gazes hook and latch. A thrill of something hot and dangerous moves through my body. It’s insane how he makes my gut twist with just a look.
Adam’s dark eyes go even darker. “I love your smile. It’s like pure sunshine, Nova.”
Kiss him,the deranged cat that seems to be in full control of my loins purrs, kiss that man now!
I don’t like cats, but that one has a point.
I tilt my head up.
Adam leans down and fuses his mouth to mine. The kiss is more explosive than the fireworks that stained the sky with colors. Like a fuse that was lit many years before, burning slowly, slowly, and only now able to sparkle for the world to see, it crashes and shatters and destroys.
I cling to him, needing to hold on tosomethingto stay upright. His mouth is hot and firm and everything I could ever dream of. I can feel his muscles beneath his T-shirt and, right below that, his wildly pounding heart. Mine is beating just as fast.
I’ve always considered myself to be a capable, powerful woman, but I never expected to feel evenmorepowerful in the hands of such a giving, loving and honorable man.
“You taste like freakinghoney,” Adam whispers against my lips. When he opens his eyes and looks down at me, his gaze is fierce and so hot it almost burns my dress off. “I can’t get enough of you, Nova.”
Every ounce of my good sense disintegrates.
Our lips collide in another desperate kiss that digs a hole straight down to my chest, grabs my heart and squeezes until it stops beating.
Have mercy.
It’s like diving into a vat of pure crystal water and finding Atlantis underneath.
Adam Harrison is inhumanely insatiable, taking my mouth with a ferocity that warns he has many years of cold showers and longing to make up for. And he doesn’t plan on giving me a chance to catch my breath.
I moan softly when he tilts his head and pulls my bottom lip into his mouth. The loving he lays on me is single-minded and dirty enough to be illegal. There’s no way a man should be this skilled at kissing. And yet, Adam could teach a class on it.
His mouth moves urgently over mine. He doesn’t just kiss me. Hedevours, tasting the curve of my lips with his tongue as if it’s the most exquisite meal he’s ever had.
I feel singed, burnt to a crisp.
My fingernails scrape the back of his neck and sink into the hair beneath his cap. I knock the hat out of the way and it goes tumbling out of sight.
My adrenaline is pounding and every one of my senses dials to a hundred. His scent, metal and fresh sawdust and Adam. His beard, hot and burning as it scrapes my sensitive chin. His fingertips, firm as they slide over my hip and tangle in my skirt. His grunts, pleased and slightly unhinged.
This is dying.
This is living.
This is what I was so afraid of giving into, the full breadth of Adam Harrison unleashed upon me.
“You’re going to be the death of me. You have no idea, darlin’,” Adam breathes as if he can’t handle everything he’s feeling.
My lips brush his when I smile. I can feel my breath skittering in my chest. “Can we test out the footrest?”
Adam blinks as if dazed. Then he nods. Snaking out a strong hand, he presses a button on the side and a foot rest unfolds from the bottom of the swing.
“I, uh, looked it up. There aren’t any porch swings with an automatic foot rest on the market.”
