“What if I have plans?”
“You do. With me.”
“I get to pick this time.”
“As long as it’s pizza, beer, and—”
“Pretty Woman,” I said triumphantly.
He groaned. “I guess two out of three ain’t bad.”
The air shifted between us.
“Why did you come here?” The question was soft and wound around us like a cocoon. But I needed to know.
Holt sighed and pressed his lips to the top of my head. “My brother insisted we have lunch. He wanted to talk about things I didn’t. I got upset and ended up here.”
Was it possible for a man to need me the way I needed him?
“Sounds crazy, right?” He gave me a sheepish smile.
“A little.” I kissed the corner of his mouth. “But I get it.”
The tension in his body released on a long exhale. “I better get back to work. Ed’s gonna kill me.”
“We wouldn’t want that.”
He banded his arms around my back. “Thanks, Easy.”
I weaved my fingers through his hair, and a jolt of electricity tingled through me. “See you at home.”
“I might be late.”
“Then I’ll see you when you get there.”
Holt loosened his hold on me, and I immediately felt the loss. He captured my face in his hands and lowered his lips to mine. I whimpered in relief at the first touch, fisting his coveralls for support.
“This your gloss stuff?” He ran his tongue across my lips. I nodded. “You’re gonna drive men everywhere crazy; it tastes so good.”
“I don’t plan on kissing anyone but you.”
He grinned. “I’m definitely glad to hear that.” He dipped down and brushed his lips against mine. “I meant all the women who will wear it. Men are going to write so many thank you notes we’ll fill up the garage.”
I slapped at his chest. “Stop it.”
“I mean it.” He smirked. “Except we’re all going to get fired because we can’t stop kissing our women.”
He shrugged and then his lips were on mine again, all tenderness gone. Desperation infused the kiss. I’d never needed anyone the way I did him. It was more than physical. I was just happier when he was around. And I told him so through our kiss.
I hooked a leg around his hip. He lifted me by the waist and moved until my back hit the wall. I kneaded his hair. He pressed his body against mine. I lashed my tongue with his. He nipped my lip.
On a grunt, he ripped his mouth from mine. “Gotta stop, Easy. Or I won’t.”
The heat in his gaze set me on fire. “I don’t want to.”
Our chests heaved as we stared at one another.
“I’ll see you tonight.” He scowled as he spoke and made no move to let me go.
