I flinched. “Do you have to be so crude?”
“No. I just like to see you get angry.”
“That’s perverse.”
He grinned against my mouth. He didn’t press our lips together, just let me feel the warmth of his breath. Somehow that was even more erotic. “Kinda.”
I moved in even closer. I liked kissing, but we didn’t really do that. It was more of a dive in and get naked sort of scenario. And I really wanted to try out the kissing thing with him.
Angling my head, I gripped the ribbed material of his shirt and went up on my toes. I’d take the lead on this kiss if need be.
I am first grade teacher, hear me roar.
His sexy eyes fired and his lips molded to mine. Stage one kiss liftoff. Hell yes.
Score one for the flirting failure.
Then my mouth watered. But not in the good way. “Oh, God, no.” I shoved him away just in time and ran for the alleyway between my building and his.
And lost my Chocolate Orgasm about three feet from him.
Again.
God, kill me.
Like an actual bolt from the blue would be nice. A bit of sizzle and only the ashes of my mortified self would be left behind.
“Oh, shit.” He rushed toward me instead of away. His hand was gentle on my back even as I wanted to die.
“Go away.”
“It’s not the first time I’ve seen you like this.”
I pushed at him weakly. “I know, which makes it even worse. How am I supposed to look at you now?”
“Well, I’d appreciate you brushing your teeth, but otherwise, I’m good. I have a kid, remember? I’ve had projectile vomit hit me in places I don’t want to talk about.”
“Oh, God.” I heaved again and he sighed. “All right, c’mon. Let’s get you into your apartment.”
“No. I mean, yes. I’ll go, but you don’t need to come.” I sagged against the wall. I had to get ready for the shower. If I could even go to the shower now. Tears burned the back of my eyes. Dammit, I’d been fine all day.
“I don’t know what kind of an asshole you think I am, but I’m not gonna leave you like this.”
I closed my eyes. This so wasn’t happening to me.
Suddenly, I was scooped up into Dare’s arms, and then he headed toward the front entrance of my apartment building.
“Dare!”
“I like it when you say my name, but maybe keep it down so everyone isn’t staring at us, huh?”
I gripped his arm as I noticed Joey giving us a look before shaking his head and going back to his unpacking.
“Got your key thing?”
I sighed. “Yes, but I can walk.”
“Don’t argue with me, Kel.”
