My heartrate sped up in response.
She was so close I could reach out and touch her, glide my palms over the soft flesh of her arms, trickling up and over her shoulders until they slid down her back and gripped the swell of her ass. My gaze locked on her pink mouth and I could still feel the warmth of her kiss on my lips . . .
Shit. All the blood in my head traveled south. I was painfully hard and fast.
“I didn’t know you were coming.”
She took a step closer as if she could feel the strong pull between us the same way I did. “Leah invited me yesterday.”
The sun peeked through a fluffy bunch of white clouds and I swear the beams of light surrounded Cara in their dazzling glow. I was looking at the greatest temptation I’d ever had in my life and that was saying something with Rae in the vicinity. This was the woman who saved my life a little over a week ago. The same feisty little saint that I wanted to drag into the house, toss on the bed, and make her filthy with hours of hot sex. There was no doubt about it.
Cara was my light, my angel.
She didn’t notice my reaction, turning away when Charlotte called her name. “I’ll be back.”
Nodding, I was unable to answer.
Ghost and GQ were quick to arrive, the fuckers, and snicker at my expression.
“Fuck me,” I whispered, my throat closing up as I tried to gulp down the sudden lump. Cara looked my way and I held back the desire to tug her closer, not really giving a fuck that anyone else was around.
“You’re a goner, bro.”
I ignored Ghost and blinked, my gaze traveling from Cara’s shapely calves slowly upward beyond that nice set of tits straight to the sensual smile resting on her luscious lips.
“Fuck me,” I repeated, and heard Ghost and GQ’s deep laughter.
This girl didn’t know it yet but as my eyes grazed over her slowly from head to toe, stopping to caress every inch of her toned and perfect body, she was going to be mine.
When had I decided that?
Fuck me. I really was a goner.
I tried to remind myself she was engaged, she was with another guy, but it didn’t help. I wanted Cara and I was pretty damn sure she was attracted to me just as much. Before this birthday party was over, I was determined to find out exactly what was between us. Even if I had to corner her in the house alone to do it.
Chapter 9 – Cara
“It’s almost three,” I whispered excitedly to Charlotte and Rae.
“I can’t wait to see their reaction,” Rae admitted. “This is gonna be epic.”
“Agreed,” Charlotte added. “Sophie will be so surprised!”
“What happens at three?” Hayley asked, openly curious. “Presents?”
“Better than presents,” I announced, glancing down at the phone as I felt a vibration. “They’re here.”
Rae grabbed her cell and slid it to video at the same time as Charlotte. “Would you take pictures like me? In case I miss anything?” I asked Hayley.
She nodded, reaching into her back pocket.
I sent a text and let them know they could come on back. We left the gate open on purpose.
About a minute later Elsa and Anna entered the backyard and the party erupted in a dozen squeals of excitement and shouts of surprise. Leah and Sophie were in awe. They held onto one another and giggled; eyes wide as they stared at their favorite princesses.
Elsa flipped her blonde hair back and opened her arms wide. “I heard it was a special girl’s birthday today. Where’s Leah?”
Leah stepped forward and tugged Sophie and another girl with her, nearly bouncing up and down in excitement. “Me!”
