“But it’s not right. We’re strangers now, we can’t do this.”
“We could never be strangers.” He kissed the side of her jaw. “You’re a part of me, Bailey Jones, and you always have been.”
“I shouldn’t want this, Joe.”
“This being?”
“You. Your lips on mine,” she whispered the words against his mouth.
He slid his hands up the outside of her thighs and stepped between her legs, closing the distance. Their kiss was hot and wet, and in seconds he was too far gone to pull back, and expected she was too. She was like kryptonite to Joe. The feel and smell of her, the smooth texture of her skin beneath his hands, it all drove him crazy. He wanted her with a desperation that had built steadily since he’d seen her in the grocery store, and he was done fighting.
Joe kissed the line of her jaw while his hand stroked her thigh, moving slowly up her body. Teasing the lines of her ribs, he found what he sought next. Her breast was the perfect size for his hand, the nipple hard and pressing against the sheer cup that restrained it.
“I want to see you, Bailey. All of you.”
Chapter 21
He was close enough that Bailey could see his features clearly. Behind them the music from the street party was loud, and only the front of the bar kept them from the hundreds who were out there enjoying it. Bailey’s heart thumped, her breasts felt full, and Joe’s hand felt so good cupping one. He stroked her nipple, and her breath grew choppy.
“Take off your top, Bailey.”
Her fingers fumbled as she drew it over her head. This was Joe, she reminded herself. Her Joe, one of the few people she had ever loved in her lifetime.
“You’re beautiful,” he rasped.
Bailey could do nothing to stop the moan as his finger traced the satin edge of her bra. He then picked up her locket. The gold oval had been a gift from her father when she was five, it now held something special that she’d carried close for years.
“Who gave you this?”
“My father.”
Releasing it he then lowered a satin bra strap, exposing her nipple.
“Joe,” Bailey whispered as her body arched into his.
“Right here.”
He licked her then, one hot stroke from his wet tongue over her nipple, and her body shuddered. He steadied her, and then continued to caress her with his mouth. Bailey could hear the sighs and moans she made, but could do nothing except hold on as he continued the sensual torture. By the time he’d moved to the other breast, she was wet and aching.
His hand began moving too, tracing the edge of her panties. He stood between her legs, his body holding her thighs open, exposing her, and she could do nothing to stop him easing a finger under the elastic and touching the wet heat… not that she wanted to.
“Oh Lord, Joe.”
“That’s it, baby, just feel.”
He kissed her as his finger stroked the soft folds. He found the tight bud between her thighs, and the tension inside Bailey tightened to an almost unbearable point. He then took her nipple and pushed a finger deep inside her. She came apart in a shuddering climax.
“I... I’ve never experienced anything like that.”
“Good,” he whispered against her lips. “I want to be the first.”
Bailey wanted to touch him, make him feel what she was. She opened his shirt, and slid her hands inside. Joe moaned as she explored his chest, tracing each muscle and rib. She’d never been this close to a man before. So close she felt a part of him.
“You have a lovely chest, Joe.” Her nail scraped a nipple, and the breath hissed from his throat, so she did it again.
“So good,” he whispered. “Your touch is exquisite, Bailey.”
She leaned forward and kissed him. His breathing quickened, so she licked him.
