“Oh, I’m just watching the people going by. Keeps me occupied.” I stuffed my hands into my pockets so I wouldn’t reach for her. I wanted to. I wanted to so much.

“Anything interesting happening?” She came up right beside me and put her head close to mine to look out.

Now, why had she done that? All I’d have to do was turn my head and…

I didn’t think about it, I was past temptation and straight into the land of need by the time our lips met. She’d looked up naturally as I moved my head, and our lips fused together. Her lips were soft, silky, and so damn sweet. I found my left hand was buried in her hair before I even had time to think about it, and we’d turned to face each other.

I pressed her against the wall, where anyone that bothered to look would see her body outlined against the glass. My hand was still in her hair, so I used the right one to skim down her ribs, to tilt her hips into me just as her lips parted for a low moan.

“Tell me to stop, Evie,” I begged. I needed her to make me stop, because I couldn’t.

“I don’t want you to.” Her eyes, still so fucking innocent, blinked up at me. The desire I saw there, in the way her eyes went soft and sleepy, broke me hard.

The sun slanted through the curtains and bounced off her hair to make her look angelic. The blonde strands gleamed in the sunlight and her green eyes took on a warm golden glow.

She turned into me, her hands clenched in the panels of my shirt. Her eyes were round, startled, and I smiled at her knowingly.

“If you don’t tell me to stop, I’ll kiss you again.” She didn’t say a word and my lips moved closer to hers.

She looked up at me, an innocent caught up in her own need, and as cute as she could be. I wanted to kiss her soft, plump lips but waited for her to tell me no.

“I want you to kiss me again. I’ve wanted you to kiss me for a long time.” Her words were unapologetic, the words of a woman who knew what she wanted and wasn’t going to take no for an answer.

She’d put on a little bit of weight since she started to work for me, but it suited her because it gave her a soft appearance. Evie had the kind of skin you’d love to touch, a cushioning layer that softened sharp edges. She was truly beautiful just as she was.

“If I kiss you, I might not be able to stop at just a kiss.” It was the only warning I would give her.

“And I’m fine with that.” She brought me back to reality with the husky tone of her voice. She sounded breathless but absolutely certain of what she wanted.

My thumb grazed the indentation of her cheek bone. I examined her face for any doubt but didn’t see any.

“Evie.” I’d meant to say, “make me stop” but only her name came out.

The one woman currently forbidden to me, turned into me. Her hands came up to touch my face, and she looked at me with round, hopeful eyes.

You could drown in those eyes of hers, searching for the key to her soul or for your own. I moved closer to her, to lean down as I pulled her face up to mine with my fingers.

“Oh, Evie.” The breathy sound escaped my lips just before our mouths fused and the sweetness of the moment wasn’t lost on me.

The longing I felt overwhelmed me and I didn’t know where to touch her first.

I didn’t even know for sure if I should do anything but kiss her in that moment. What if she didn’t want to take it any further, would she tell me no?

I couldn’t stop the kiss once it had started. It would have been like sawing off my own arm. Especially when her kiss-slick lips parted, and I felt her small, inquisitive tongue reach out to meet my lips.

She explored me gently, softly, with her mouth, and my hands went to her waist, brushing open the jacket of her suit.

I shuddered when I felt the warmth of her skin through her cotton shirt, and my fingers grasped at her tightly to pull her into me, into my aching hard ridge between us. I would have sawn off my own arm at that point to feel her touch me there. My cock was pressed against the zipper in a painful way.

Evie head fell back against the glass as I began to unbutton her top. I moved slowly down each button until her top was open and lifted her flesh out of the top of her white silk bra. I glanced at her face again to see if she wanted me to but all I saw there was anticipation.

“Are you sure, Evie?” My voice was rough and thick but I managed to get the words out.

Evie nodded. My hands smoothed up her waist to cup her breasts. Her breath came in shudders as my fingers covered the mounds. The large, tear-shaped globes were tipped with perfect peach nipples I couldn’t wait to get in my mouth. The tip was the size of a large blueberry and fit between my fingers perfectly. I squeezed it lightly so I could test her thresholds. The move produced a moan from Evie and her kiss became almost frantic as my fingers squeezed her nipple more tightly.

“Henry.” She sighed my name as she broke away, her hands clutched at my hips as she pushed her own out.

I shifted in place and leaned down to take the peaked nipple between my teeth.
