“What are you doing here?” she said, incredulously. Deep inside she was hiding her gratitude. She also subconsciously tightened the belt around her robe and hugged herself, feeling that he would be able to see her tightened nipples under her robe. Of course, he would have to have x-ray vision for that.
“I heard your apartment was broken into. I wanted to see if you were alright,” he answered her in a low voice, gazing intently into her eyes. Oh, those delicious dark eyes of his. So sexy, so inviting. The man oozed sex appeal from every inch of his body.
Her eyes surveyed his hotness. He stood so tall that his head almost touched the top of the door frame. He sported a dark suit and looked as if he’d had a rugged day at the office. His sexy stubble was more prominent than she had remembered from a month ago and his dark hair was tussled in a rock star fashion but looked good nevertheless. He had the highest, defined cheekbones she’d ever seen on a man.
“You did? You came here just to see if I was alright?” Maxine was pleasantly surprised. In disbelief. Was she that important to him? Appreciation tickled her inside. She wanted to reach out to hug him but she dared not.
“I told you,” he said in a low, deliberate voice. “I take care of those close to me.” He arched a brow to make his point. He looked into her eyes and Maxine quivered with delight.
The words sent a rush of shivers down her back, a pleasurable sensation. She was naked under her robe and her sex was throbbing uncontrollably.
“I didn’t know we were that close,” she teased him, breathing hard. A grin played on her lips.
Was she flirting with him? What was with her?
“Can I get you anything?” she breathed, her voice hoarse. It had been way too long since she’d been with anyone, meaning her ex. Her only real boyfriend. Oh, the curse of being celibate so long. Now she felt as if she was ready to explode for the one guy who made her heart go pitter-patter. She felt a close indescribable connection to Lucas. She couldn’t really rationalize it or understand it but it was just what it was—kismet.
He leaned in closer to her and she caught the sweet, irresistible scent of his cologne. He was delicious in every way. Maxine was dying to be with him. She was about to lose her inhibitions—or her mind if he didn’t take her there and then.
“Just you,” he said as if reading her silent invitation. He lowered his head to hers and pressed his sinfully sexy lips to hers causing a rush of sexual currents to race through her body.
Her body’s response was automatic as she moaned in delight and hungrily kissed him back. She’d been dying for this moment for so long. To feel the silky touch of his lips on hers. His firm arms were wrapped around her body as he held her close to him. Her arms reached up to his broad shoulders.
Oh, his lips were so soft and sexually potent. Lucas’s kiss made her forget who she was and where she was. His soft lips caressed and sucked on hers sending shivers of delight down her spine and a rush of blood to her thighs. She felt the hardness of his erection behind his zipper while his hips pressed to hers as he leaned her against the wall.
Lucas slid his smooth hand beneath her robe and she felt a delicious explosion of butterflies in her stomach. His hand made its way to her mound of flesh and he stroked and teased her hard nipples bringing moans of ecstasy through her lips.
Maxine pulled away breathless.
“What is it?” Lucas’s deep voice captured her.
Yes. What was it? What was she afraid of? This was what she’d always fantasized about, wasn’t it? Lucas’s erotic touch on her body.
Maxine adjusted her robe. She was still throbbing mercilessly. Oh, heavens, she wanted nothing more than to be with Lucas so what in Pete’s sake was she afraid of?
“I’m…sorry I…Lucas…”
“It’s okay.” Lucas was out of sorts, breathless himself. “I should apologize. I didn’t come here for that. I don’t know what got over me just now.”
Maxine looked up, startled. Oh, no. That was the last thing she wanted him to feel—regret! My God, the man came over there—all the way over there to see if she was alright. He certainly didn’t need to do that. As big and important as Lucas Romero was, he went out of his way to track her down after she’d been victimized. How noble was that?
