CHAPTER TWENTY
Melody
Here we were, alone in this small room with only one bed. This had to be a test. If this were a test, I had a feeling we were going to fail. Or succeed, whichever way you looked at things. Asher’s eyes followed my finger as I circled it around the last button on my blouse. As they traveled back up to my face, he stepped closer, just one step inside the door. The way he stared at me made my stomach flip a little. Not like before when I’d been sick, this was a good feeling. The tender area between my thighs throbbed and became damp as I remembered how his lips had felt on mine. How his fingers had played between my thighs when I had showered with him.
Seeing him look at me the way he was had me wanting to be in his arms. So badly. I wanted to ask him to hold me. Just as I had that thought, he closed the distance between us and palmed my cheeks with his hands as his lips found mine. My arms went around his waist and my hands slid up his back. He kissed me slowly, and his fingers tangled in my hair. I moaned into his mouth, and he moaned with me. His lips brushed down my neck and my legs became weak, but his strong arms held me up.
“What are you doing?” I breathed against his chin.
“Do you want me to stop?”
“I thought…”
“Shhhh. You think too much sometimes, Mel.”
I rested my head against his chest as he kissed the nape of my neck. I didn’t want him to stop.
“I can hear your heart beating.”
“That’s a good thing. Always a plus.”
“I agree.”
“Do you know why I wanted you to come with me?”
“Because I’m your best friend and you needed me.”
“Yeah. That’s true. I do need you. But the reason I wanted you to come with me is because I can’t stop thinking about you and I don’t want you to be with anyone else while I’m gone. Not anyone, especially not Alex.”
“Asher, when I went out with Alex, I…we…”
“Don’t,” he said and kissed me again. Softly, gently. I wanted to tell him that Alex and I never had sex. That he’d been right about him all along, but his kisses kept my tongue too busy and I soon forgot all about Alex. All I could think about now was Asher and his hands as they roamed down my thighs, finding their way between them and fingering me outside of my jeans. My panties were going to be soaked.
As our lips pressed together and our tongues mingled—sweet Jesus!—his hand was on my butt and he pulled me tight against him. His hard erection pressed into my thigh and his hand slipped just inside the waistband of my jeans.
“Asher, we shouldn’t.” I had no idea why I’d said that because, at that moment, I knew I wanted him more than I wanted to breathe.
“Why not?”
“Because…I…we—” The words lodged in my throat as he licked and kissed a sensitive spot on my neck right below my ear. My toes tingled. “I don’t want to ruin us.”
“Are we ruined?”
“No, but…”
“Then we won’t be.”
“But what happens when we get home?”
“I don’t know. If you don’t want me to go any further, tell me no, Melody. Otherwise, shut up and kiss me.”
I kissed him.
As we kissed, our tongues did a frantic and desperate tangling as he unbuttoned my jeans and slipped the zipper down, then reached his hand down my pants and moaned. “Oh, baby, you are so wet for me.”
We stopped kissing and I inhaled deeply as though I hadn’t been able to breathe. He pulled his hand out of my pants as his fingers dipped under my shirt then pulled it up over my head, not even trying to deal with the rest of the buttons.
He took a step back, and I watched his eyes roam from my face to my breasts as he slowly ran his tongue over his lips. Oh so sexy.
