A smile curves on her lips, slowly working its way to her ears as I come to a stop in front of her. “Hey, Jack.”
“Firecracker,” I breathe.
She steps toward me as I launch forward, wrapping my arms around her and pressing her against the wall. My lips crush against hers—they open immediately, inviting me in. I possessively sweep my tongue into her mouth, kissing her like it’s the last kiss I’ll ever have—making up for all the lost time and every missed kiss along the way.
She makes the littlemmnoise I always loved so much, and tilts her body into mine, kissing me as intensely as I’m kissing her. I’m hard as a rock right now, and I don’t even care. If she let me, I’d fuck her right here, right now. Except I want it to be more than that. I want to have her in my bed all night long. Preferably, screaming my name.
“Braden,” she whispers, pulling back slightly. My eyes meet hers. “Hi.”
“Hi. God, you’re more gorgeous than I ever imagined.” I press my lips into her neck, then suck the skin into my mouth.
She moans as her back arches and her head drops back. Then her hands press against my chest as her head snaps forward again. “We have to stop.”
“Why?”
“Because I’ve gotta get back to work soon, and doing it with puffy red lips from kissing and hickies on my neck isn’t a good plan. Plus, Maia’s having her baby.”
“I can think of other places to leave some hickies,” I say, eyes rolling over her hungrily. Her cheeks bloom pink, and she bites her lip. “If you’re supposed to be working, why did you text me?”
She rolls her gorgeous eyes. “Because the doctor I work with is my best friend, and she told me she was going to stop speaking to me if I didn’t text you—come see you.”
“I owe her a drink, a high five, maybe a hundred bucks,” I tease.
“Braden…”
“Go out with me tonight.”
Her eyebrows shoot up. “Tonight?”
“Yes, tonight, Firecracker. I’ve waited nine years to meet you. I’m not even going to wait nine hours to see you again. Understand?”
Again, she bites her lip. She nods as her eyes slip closed, and she leans back against the wall. I take the opportunity to capture her lips in another passionate kiss. She’s all mine.
She kisses me back forcefully, sliding a hand up the back of my neck and into my hair.
Jesus Christ, I’m going to blow a load in my pants from kissing her.
I pull my lips back and softly graze them down her neck. I’ll abide by her rules and not leave any more marks.
“When did you figure it out? That it was me?”
“Mm… when you said Harper’s name. I wondered if it could be possible when you touched my arm, and I felt the electricity. You fit the description of, well, you. It’s possible I’ve said yes to dates with a few too many guys who looked like you, but never made me feel the way you do.”
“And how do I make you feel?”
“Insane. Wild. Free. Lusty. You have no idea how badly I want you right now.”
I cock an eyebrow at her and push my erection into her hip. “No idea?”
She moans, and I really think I’m going to come with just this small amount of physical contact.
This time she shoots forward and wraps her arms around my neck, kissing me ravenously.
Fuck.
I drag my hands up her ribs before wrapping them around her back and turning the tables by sliding a hand into her hair and tugging. She whimpers into my mouth, and I know I have to stop. She works here for God’s sake.
As we slowly untangle, I step back slightly. Sweeping some mussed hair from her face, I look deep into her eyes. They’re almost an aqua color—something I’ve never seen before.
