There’s a whisper of vulnerability in her eyes, and my heart thuds hard.
“Just one,” I say, though who I’m telling, I’m not sure.
A nod. “Just one.”
Jesus, the half-breathless way she says it is almost as hot as the way she’s staring at my mouth.
Three… Two… One…

Our mouths meet in a tame, totally New Year’s-appropriate kiss, and that should be the end of it. But there’s something beyond addictive about the soft give of her lips, and instead of breaking away, I take another sip. Another taste. Another lingering minute of this fresh new year to feel her in my arms.
It should be enough.
But that light touch at my chest becomes two hands clutching my T-shirt. And the hand at the back of her neck becomes one fisted in her hair and the other balled in the excess of fabric at the small of her back. I’m gathering her into me, kissing her hard and harder. Groaning as she opens beneath the crush of my mouth over hers.
Just one?How did I think it would be enough? Thatanythingcould be enough?
I’m a slave to the taste of her and the needy little sounds she gives me every time I take her sweet wet mouth with another thrust of my tongue.
I don’t even realize what I’m doing until I feel the wall beneath my hand and the full decadent press of Stormy’s body along the length of mine. It’s too perfect. Too right.
Only then, those hands that have been clutching and pulling at me still at the center of my chest.
She stops.
I stop.
Fuuuck,I don’t want to stop. But I pull back, take a breath, and meet her eyes.
This is where I take her back to the hotel, wish her a happy New Year, and leave her there.
Check in with the lawyer on Monday.
She blinks up at me. Her lips are parted. Her chest is rising and falling in time with mine. “This doesn’t have to change anything.”
I blink. Did she—
She tugs me back in. And before I’ve even closed the scant few inches between us, that greedy, desperate, grateful part of me that only seems to exist for her is back.
Taking control.
Crushing her with the kiss I thought was over, giving her the hard press of my body as I devour her, ignoring the distant clanging alarm warning that this level of relief isn’t something I should feel.
But when I give her my tongue and she moans around it, pressing all her sweet softness into me, I forget about everything but her.

We stumbleinto the hotel room, mouths fused, coats and clutches falling around our feet.
I take a step back, devouring the vision that is Stormy in my half-open shirt. It’s hanging from one shoulder and caught at her elbow on the other arm. And beneath, a few scraps of icy blue fabric that gave up the fight on keeping her decent hours ago.
But the sexiest thing about her is the half smile on her parted lips and the look in her eyes begging for more.
