Page 42 of Loving a Billionaire

As his lips moved over her throat, she melted that much more. She couldn’t take this torture anymore. If he didn’t kiss her soon, she’d scream.

Finally, he lifted his head, but she took that opportunity to find his mouth with hers. The moment their mouths came together, electricity shot through her. If being tasered felt this good, she’d volunteer to be the precinct’s dummy next time, but only if Austin could assist her.

She rested her hands against his chest. His heart was knocking as crazily as hers was. Happiness flowed through her knowing he was enjoying this just as much. Strange, but she hadn’t felt this kind of energy when she had kissed Kurt not too long ago.

As their kiss turned more passionate, she couldn’t keep her fingers still, and she loved the feel of his hair. The urge to run her hands all over him became powerful, but it couldn’t happen. This was only their second date.

Breathless, she broke the kiss and leaned her forehead against his chest. “I think... we need to stop.”

His chest rattled with a low chuckle. “I agree. We are going too fast. After all, I’ve only known you as a cop for a few minutes.”

“Very true.” She tried to breathe slower as her mind returned. “So, Austin. You were going to tell me something, too?”

Confusion crossed his face, but then within seconds, he shook his head. “All I wanted to talk about was us.”

“Us?”

“Yes, and where you think we are going.”

“Going? Do you mean tonight?” she asked.

He laughed. “No, I’m referring to our relationship – where is it going?”

“Oh.” She laid her head on the sofa’s cushion. As unbelievable as it sounded, she wanted a relationship with this wonderful man, even if a few days ago she tried to convince herself she didn’t have time for a man in her life.

“Let me get through this murder case first, and then I’ll be able to think clearly about our relationship.”

“All right.”

She stood and he held her hand as he walked her to the door.

“You know,” he said, “for our next date, I’d really like to see where you live.”

Laughing, she threw her arms around his neck and pressed her chest against his. “That’s the best idea yet. What are you doing tomorrow night?”

He wagged his eyebrows. “I’ll be with you.”
