Closer still, and so deliciously tempting.
“Your eyes are filled with tiny yellow flecks, like glittering stars,” he murmured.
Her insides pulsed from the vibration of his hushed voice.
“They’re beautiful.” His lips parted.
Glancing at his mouth, she dragged air into her lungs and placed her hands on his shoulders. “My, what big eyes you have.”
He chortled as she nudged him back. With glasses in hand, she sauntered to the refrigerator. Her hips swished left, right, left, right.
“I should have known you weren’t complimenting me,” he said.
“You’ll catch on.”
Awareness lit up his midnight eyes. “All the better to see you with.” He set forks on the table.
She opened the refrigerator door and pulled out a bottle of sparkling water. Feeling his eyes on her, she placed the items on the table and sat, then lifted her gaze to face him. Sitting catty-corner, he scooped tiramisu onto the fork and offered it to her. She placed her hands over his and guided the utensil into her mouth. When the sugary dessert flooded her taste buds, she closed her eyes and moaned.
“You are beyond beautiful.”
On a flutter, she opened them and held his piercing gaze. “My, my, what big hands you have.” Her voice dropped an octave, her breath coming fast. She ran her fingers over his hands.Big, strong, and sexy.She imagined him fondling her breasts, caressing her ass, stroking her back, their lustful bodies locked in a rhythmic dance.
“All the better to touch you with.” He scooted his chair closer. Only inches away.
Every fiber, each nerve sizzled with anticipation. Scarcely breathing, she broke eye contact, refusing to make this easy for him. Women fell at his feet, but she would not. She scooped a heaping piece of tiramisu onto her fork. “Open.”
He hesitated.
“Don’t you want a taste?”
With a gleam in his eyes, he opened his mouth.
She slipped the fork inside, depositing the yummy treat. “My, what big teeth you have.” His raw stare sent torturous jolts of sexual energy crashing through her. And she hadn’t even kissed him yet.
“I don’t know if you’re smarter than you are beautiful or vice versa.” His throaty whisper was filled with raw desire.
With a racing heart, she waited. The wall clock thundered in her ears.Tick tock tick tock.“Don’t you want to finish the bedtime story?” Her voice quivered. She could barely contain herself.
“More than you know.”
“Then say it.”
“Why should I?”
“By your own admission, you’re the big, bad wolf.”
He gave her a toothy grin. “Indeed I am.”
She leaned close. “Say it, Colton.”
“All the better to eat you with, my dear.”
