But…lord in heaven. He was looking at her mouth as if he could already taste her. And she really did want to know what it would be like to kiss him, and maybe do even more, without worrying about Captain Marcus pushing over books or slamming doors. In fact, she wished the ghost would just stay out of the way where she and Adam were concerned.
“I suppose some experimenting might be helpful.” Her voice came out breathless.Shewas breathless, and all he was doing was looking at her. “But what about us being just friends?”
He shrugged. “This is a scientific test. Science doesn’t have anything to do with friendship.”
Bee narrowed her eyes, even as her heart continued to rev right up like it was approaching the starting line of a race. “It doesn’t, hmm?”
“Nope.” He pushed away from the car door. “Science deals with chemistry, reactions, energy, force, bonding, magnetism…”
With every word, he moved an inch closer to her until she could feel his body heat filling the scant space between them, and her heart sped around the track so fast it was leaving all other racers in the dust.
“It has nothing whatsoever,” Adam reiterated, his gaze locked on hers, “to do with friendship.”
She grabbed the edge of the car door. She wanted him to kiss her so badly her knees went weak. And she couldn’t blame her reaction on fatigue either—not when every nerve ending was flickering with heat and energy.
“Well, then,” she murmured. “I guess we’d better do some scientific testing.”
Adam curled a lock of her hair around his finger and tugged, drawing her closer. She parted her lips to draw in a breath the instant before he lowered his head and pressed his mouth against hers.
Oh, yes.
All the hot, flourishing sensations bloomed through her again—pleasure, lust, excitement. The last time, she’d been so taken aback by the contact of his mouth that it had taken her a moment to even respond—but this time? She was ready for him and met him halfway.
She rose to her tiptoes and responded eagerly to the warm movement of his lips. Heat spread through her nerves, tightening her core. She fisted the front of his worn T-shirt. He settled his hands on her hips, angling their bodies closer. Her heart was winning the race, waving victory to the frenzied crowd.
An owl hooted somewhere nearby. Bee tensed for an instant, half-expecting a flock of bats to swoop in and interrupt them, but the sound only disappeared into the distant crash of ocean waves.
Adam tugged her more firmly against him, increasing the pressure of the kiss, his own body lacing with tension. Though he was so much bigger, they somehow fit together perfectly. Her curves yielded easily to the hard planes of his chest, and he folded his muscled arms around her as if he had no intention of ever letting go.
Everything inside her went soft and hot. She didn’t want to leave this warm, bright circle. She parted her lips and let him inside. He backed her up against the side of the car, sweeping his tongue into her mouth and edging his knee between her legs.
Her pulse skyrocketed. Desire clenched in her lower body. She wanted his hands on her bare skin, his lips on her breasts.
He brought one hand to her nape, tilting her head back as he continued caressing her mouth with delicious precision as if he already knew exactly what she both wanted and needed.
Dizziness washed over her. She had never been kissed like this before. She hadn’t even known kisses like this existed outside of fiction and fairy tales. She never wanted it to end.
Adam slid his hand to her shoulder…and lower until his big palm covered her breast. He brushed his thumb across her hard nipple, sending a shock of heat to her core.
She parted her legs wider as he pushed closer, and then the hard ridge of his erection pressed against her belly. Sharp longing speared through her.
Oh, how she wanted to see him naked, to touch all the planes and hollows of his purely male body, to open herself up and let him—
Bee pulled away from him so fast that the back of her head knocked against the edge of the car roof.
Adam straightened, his breathing hard and eyes dark with lust. He put his hand on the back of her head and rubbed the sore spot.
“You okay?”
She nodded, dragging in a breath. Her mind was spinning. It had been so easy. So natural. If he’d kept going, he might’ve taken her right up against the car. And she’d havelet him.
Not to mention…nothing and no one had interrupted them.
Adam took a step back, his lust diluting into an expression of faint shock. As if he, too, were stunned by how quickly they could have combusted. Together.
“Well.” Trying to calm her still-racing heart, Bee straightened her skirt and attempted to smile. “I guess Captain Marcus doesn’t venture outside the house.”
For a second, he looked as if he didn’t even know what she was talking about. Then he huffed out a small laugh and shook his head.
