I bit my lip. Did we? No. But I wanted to sort of get a feeling of what was happening. “No, but…” Gah. I didn’t know how to get the words out of my mouth without sounding like some clingy woman. We had only known each other for a few days. It wasn’t like I wanted his vow of undying love, but maybe a couple words like “I dig you” would be acceptable?
“How about we just ride the wave and see what happens, yeah?”
“And the wave has kissing?” Filter, Reva. Could I please just use my filter?
Hero chuckled. “Yeah. I hope it has a shit-ton of kissing.”
“Ditto.” I blurted out. “You know, I tend to not think when you’re around. Especially when you’re this close.”
He tucked a stray hair behind my ear. “Maybe that’s a good thing.”
In an instant, he closed the gap between us and pressed his lips to mine. I melted into his touch and savored the taste of his lips. They were soft and supple yet demanding and strong. My hands pressed against his chest and moved up. They wrapped around his neck, and I just held on. I couldn’t remember any other kiss but his.
It had started off slow and gentle.
His hands roamed over my back and bunched up my shirt. His fingers touched the bare flesh of my back, and I thought I had melted into his touch before, but now I was basically a puddle on the floor.
It was hot.
It was needy.
It was everything and more.
I finally ran out of breath and ripped my lips from his.
“God damn, Sunshine.” His voice was raw and gravelly. “You expect me to leave after that?”
I stared at his lips and couldn’t string two words together.
He stepped back, out of my reach. “I’ll call you later, Sunshine.”
“I, uh.” I shook my head and tried to come back to Earth. “Okay?”
Hero laughed. He stepped back toward me, laid a quick kiss on my cheek, and then he was out the door.
I leaned back against the counter and listened to his motorcycle roar to life. Clutching my hand to my chest, I tried to calm the racing of my heart.
I didn’t know what in the hell was going on with Hero and me, but I knew for damn sure that was not going to be the last time he kissed me.

Chapter Eight
Hero
“Look who’s strutting in doing the walk of shame.”
I pushed my sunglasses on top of my head. “You sound like a teenage girl.”
Easy flipped me off. “And you look like shit.”
“Church in half an hour,” I called.
“Zig and Zag aren’t here. You want me to give them a call?” Frost asked.
“Where the hell are they?” I demanded.
Frost shrugged. “Last I heard, they were heading to Sultry Knights last night to help console the girls about Bunny.”
