Sofia

“I want you in my bed until after Monica’s wedding.”

The words that had flown out between Shane Fletcher’s lips, makes me shiver each time I think back. It wasn’t just the words he’d used, but the way he’d spoken them. His voice had been deep, raspy with sexiness and had just about melted my panties, which is why I’d run away to Boston to spend a few days with my family.

I’m home in Lexington now, and I still can’t get him out of my head. Everywhere I look around the store is a reminder of him. I have bits and pieces to be used for his sister’s wedding cake and desserts lying around, which Shane Fletcher, software millionaire, is paying for.

The devil of a man knows exactly what he does to me whenever he’s close. Something I’m not happy about. I’m not the best around guys, especially the really handsome looking ones. I tend to get flustered, but Shane uses it to his advantage. He likes to stand in my personal space and he has an unnerving way of keeping his dark eyes focused solely on me.

It was his thighs in fitted slacks that had first drawn my gaze. The way the material clung to his tight muscles as he’d walked down the stairs. I’d been talking with his sister and then my attention had quickly strayed. Shane is younger than I’d expected, which is the excuse I’d given to his sister when she’d noticed my gaze. But heck no, the man had my body reacting in ways I hadn’t known possible. It had felt like I was in one of the romance novels I love to read. I’d called him a rake to my cousin, Paige when I’d been in Boston. And that is the first word that comes to mind when I think about Shane Fletcher.

His smile can and more than likely has gotten him whatever he’s wanted and although I’m trying to keep our relationship strictly professional, I have the feeling that I’m only on a path to failure. Every time his dark eyes focus on me, my insides turn to mush and my panties melt. I want him. His offer sounding better and better the more I think about it.

Hearing a laugh smothered behind a cough, I jump and end up slapping myself in the face with the spatula coated in pink frosting. It’s strawberry flavored, my favorite, so I stick my tongue out and start licking it off while watching the rake himself lean against the door jamb. His eyes follow exactly where my tongue goes while my own eyes use his distraction to caress over his body. It’s difficult to miss the erection stretching the fabric over his groin.

Clearing my throat, I decide to break the tension between us before I do something very unlike me and jump him. Not that I’d know what to do once I was wrapped around him but I’m sure my imagination wouldn’t fail me.

Shane lets out a strangled groan, straightening. “If you don’t stop looking at me like that, I’m going to spread you out on that counter behind you, spread the pink stuff over certain parts of your body, and lick it off.” His hand reaches his groin and I watch as he straightens his dick. He does it with an air of laziness as he rubs his hard flesh before moving forward.

I dart around the counter to the sink and drop the spatula into the warm water. “I don’t know what you mean.” I flick my head and curse when my hat flies off, releasing my blonde hair in waves down my back. I try and keep it up and hidden during bakery hours.

Drying my hands, I reach up around my neck to grab my hair except Shane gets there first. His large hands gather my hair and then I feel his fingers sliding through the thick strands. They work upward and then he’s massaging my scalp, moving down my neck and back into my hair. The sigh I release is far louder than I had meant, so no doubt the sexy man behind me heard.

He lifts my hair and fastens it back into a ponytail, his fist wrapping around the length, tipping my head to the side. Goose bumps prickle my skin when his lips skim my shoulder, moving up along my neck. “What are you doing?” I mumble, my eyes tightly closed. I need to regain some control but right now he could do anything to me and I wouldn’t be able to object.

“I want you, Sofia. The way I react to you makes me tremble. Tell me you’ll have me.”

Swallowing hard at his words, I’m so tempted to say, ‘yes, take me,’ but I need to be away from him to think clearly. His scent overpowers me and his touch makes me want to get down on my knees and beg for so much more. Although, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t need to beg.

“You don’t really want me.” I gather my wits and pull away, hoping my cheeks don’t look as hot as they feel.

Shane blinks and grabs his cock through his pants. “Like hell I don’t want you.”

My eyes widen in surprise at the thickness wrapped in his hand. I gulp and shake my head, stepping further away. “I’ve never had sex without being in a relationship.” That is partly correct considering I’ve never been in a relationship.

Within a blink of an eye, Shane has me pressed against the counter, his hands on either side as he moves in close. So close that his forehead rests against mine and I can see

the hint of brown in his eyes. My heart pounds and my body burns.

“Anything between us would be amazing, Sofia. You’d never go without. I’d make sure of that.” He nuzzles down the side of my face and brushes slow kisses along my neck and up to my earlobe. He pulls my lobe into his mouth and nibbles.

I gasp and unaware of what I’m doing, I arch into his body, rubbing up against the throb of his. Shane hisses and grabs my butt with one of his large hands, keeping me in place, and thrusts.

My eyes roll back and I clutch at his shoulders, wanting whatever it is he’s doing to me to never stop.

“You’re so fucking beautiful,” he hisses. “You’ve bewitched me, all I want to do is rip your panties off, open my slacks, and fuck you right here, right now, and to hell with who might catch us.” Holding my gaze, he breathes as heavily as me, and slowly steps out of my space.

I feel the loss of his touch immediately, and quickly put the palms of my hands to my flushed cheeks. They’re certainly not flushed with embarrassment. Not this time.

“You’re a dangerous woman, Sofia McKenzie.” Shane gives me one last penetrating stare before leaving as silently as he appeared.

I drop my butt heavily to the floor and sit like an idiot wondering what the hell I’m going to do. He’s dangerous. To him it’s sex. To me it’s becoming a lot more, and that scares me.

Shane

Leaving the bakery as quickly as I can, I press the button to unlock my car and climbing in, I slump into the seat frustrated as hell. What is it about Sofia that has me throbbing? I’ve been around a lot of beautiful women, each with far more experience than the small blonde bombshell.

I’ve been distracted with her for far too long, which is why I propositioned her. I wince, remembering how shocked she’d been. She hadn’t been the only one. Until I’d opened my mouth I’d had no idea what I was going to say. I’d blurted it out after she’d given me an instant erection from the view of her bending over the counter. The thoughts running through my head at that point had been dirty as fuck.

The curvy woman had no clue what she does to me although I suspect she does now. I don’t think I could have been any more obvious.

Groaning, I slam my head back against the seat hoping that my sanity might return. No such luck. Sofia McKenzie is in my head to stay until I can satisfy the intense craving I have for her.

There is something innocent about her, which turns me on even more. She isn’t that innocent though, not with that face and her curvy body.

I moisten my lips with the tip of my tongue enjoying the thought of having her lips wrapped around my straining erection. I’m just glad I’d left home before my sister could join me on the trip into town with how I’m reacting—like a horny teenager.

Shaking my head, I groan watching the screen of my cell flashing with my mother’s name and the picture she insisted I use. This isn’t the time to talk to her so I let it go to voice mail only to have her calling again straight after.

Knowing my mother, it’s a wedding emergency or her husband is having a dinner party and they expect me to be there. It’s rare for me to accept but they both constantly push it.
