His touch—it was wild and wicked. She’d craved this for so long, the way he never held back. She knew desire. But Liam ignited her needs in a way no other man ever had.
His hand moved higher, slipping beneath the fabric of her dress. Drawing soft, teasing circles on her inner thigh, sweeping closer and closer, then pulling away. She shifted, trying to guide his hand to her center. There were people all around, but she no longer cared. She needed this, him—now.
“Patience, honey.” His lips brushed her ear. “I’ll get you there.”
His voice blended with the music, barely audible, but still she clung to the promise. His fingers circled higher, brushing the fabric of her underwear. She widened her stance, offering him access. But he didn’t take it. His fingers remained outside the barrier, gliding back and forth. Teasing her, playing with the pressure, he drew her closer and closer.
She reached behind her, grabbing hold of his thighs, wanting to touch him. Again, she waited for his hands to slip beneath her underwear, but instead he brushed the pad of his thumb over the one place that needed him most.
“Liam,” she gasped. “Oh God, Liam.”
The music was too loud. He couldn’t hear her. But she couldn’t stop saying his name, hoping he’d deliver more. She rocked her hips, arching her back, asking with her body for what she wanted.
Without releasing her, he drew her further into the dark corner. Not that anyone was paying them any attention. They were too busy dancing, grinding against each other.
“They can’t see,” Liam said, his lips still touching her ear. “They don’t know. This is just for you. For us.”
Hearing those words, Katie froze. No one knew for now. But she planned to change that. And if her brothers caught them now . . .
No. She wished to keep this moment for herself. Next time, she’d stick to her plan. Tonight, in this not-so-country bar, she wanted to experience the man who’d once captured her heart. In this place where they couldn’t go too far, she wanted Liam.
Rocking her hips against the bulge in his jeans, she silently asked for more. His fingers answered her plea, teasing her, drawing her closer and closer . . .
But she didn’t want to be the only one lost in need. Gliding her hand up, she pressed her palm against the hard ridge of his erection.
“Lower your arm.” He punctuated his command with a nip at her ear. “This is for you.”
Ignoring him, she moved her hand up and down against his jeans, wishing she could slip her fingers beneath. But the darkness, the music, it only offered the illusion of privacy.
His teeth grazed her ear a second time while his thumb pressed lightly against the one place guaranteed to skyrocket her into orgasm territory. “You’re not listening?”
“No.” She ran her palm down his length, cupping him through his jeans.
“Katie.” Hearing the warning mixed with d
esire in his tone, she didn’t let go, refusing to obey. This time.
Liam thrust against her hand and a thrill coursed through her. She wanted him out of his mind with lust—right back where they’d started seven years ago.
Only this time, she’d keep her L-words straight.
Chapter 8
BENEATH THE LUST blanketing his common sense, Liam knew that this was too much, too fast. They needed more time to get to know each other again, and to move on from the past. But when he was with Katie, the pull was so damn strong.
And the way she refused to move her hand, to stop torturing him here, in a dark corner where he couldn’t do a damn thing about it . . . Liam closed his eyes and groaned. Thank God for his jeans. Without the barrier, he wouldn’t be able to hold back. Not after all this time. Not with her.
Releasing her hip, he ran his hand over her ass, over the fabric of her dress as the song ended and another one started. He paused, giving her one light, playful squeeze before lifting his hand away an inch.
“Planning to punish me?” she said, her voice heavy with need as his other hand continued to tease her.
He was tempted, but he wrapped his fingers around her hip, holding tight. “Not here. Not yet.”
But the thought of it turned him on. Drawing her underwear aside, his fingers slipped beneath, searching for her entrance. Touching her—it wasn’t enough. But for tonight, it had to be.
Katie turned her head to the side and he watched her lips form his name. The music had grown too loud again. He couldn’t hear. But he knew. Here, in the dark corner of a college bar, she wanted him. All other thoughts vanished, leaving him with only one—Don’t let go.
Liam scanned the crowd to ensure no one was glancing at their dark corner of the room. His thumb brushed her sweet spot. The one place he knew would drive her wild. As much as he wanted to draw this out, he couldn’t. They didn’t have the luxury of time.
