Open to me.
His tongue brushed the top of her bottom lip as his free hand slid up to her face, thumb tracing her jaw. Eva let go of his T-shirt and moved her hand to wrap around his neck. She opened her mouth and Jake delivered, his tongue sliding against hers.
He tasted like pizza- warm, yeasty, and so damn good. Desire unwound in her belly like a hose slipping from the fire engine, spiraling low in her pelvis. That sweet, achy throb pulsed as he shifted her in his arms, his kiss softening before becoming demanding. Finally, after several seconds of kissing the daylights out of her, he used his teeth to nip at her lower lip, tugging it before lifting his head.
Their eyes met, their breaths mingled. Jake gave her a triumphant smile.
Then he tipped her up, setting her in her original spot. He grabbed his beer and took a swig, throwing an arm over the back of the couch. "There."
Eva knew her eyes were as wide as the pepperoni pieces on the pizza slice she'd abandoned. "What the hell was that?"
Jake opened the box and set another two slices on his plate. "That was correcting what happened yesterday."
Eva pulled the plate from his hands.
"Hey," he said.
"You can't just kiss me like that and then pretend it wasn't anything more than blowing your nose."
"It was way better than blowing my nose, babe."
"Don't call me babe. I'm not one of your bimbos. I'm not the sort of girl you can casually tip into your lap and maul, you arrogant, self-centered ass."
"Eva," he said, holding up his hands in surrender. "Now, don't go getting mad. It was merely payback. You kissed me. I kissed you. Now we're even."
"Even?" she repeated, her hands still shaking as the desire shriveled up like the fern his sister had given her as a housewarming gift. "You are insane."
Jake laughed. "Maybe so, but at least you won't walk around town thinking I'm bad at kissing. I mean, if we're gonna kiss, we might as well do it right. That's all I was thinking."
She pressed her hand against her lips and then slugged him.
"Ouch," he said, ducking her next swing.
"Get out," she said, feeling overly dramatic, but not caring enough to stop or calm herself.
Jake thought the kiss was no big deal. Of course he did. He went around having sex if the wind blew right- a kiss might as well be a handshake to him. But it wasn't to her. That kiss hadn't been anything like the chaste, embarrassing thing she'd given him yesterday. No, that kiss had been toe-curling, panty-dropping pure ecstasy, and it had awoken a hunger that hadn't even poked its head out of its cage yesterday.
Full-on, body-quaking desire.
Absolute, bone-jarring lust.
Something she couldn't hide with a man like Jake.
"I'm sorry," he said, leaning away from her."Stop making it something it's not."
"You stupid, big-headed idiot," she said, pushing off the couch, standing over him.
"Come on, Eva. Calm down."
"Don't tell me to calm down," she growled.
"God, you're acting like a normal woman."
"Iama normal woman, you creep. You can't do what you just did."
"Why?" he asked, his eyes focused on her hands.
"Because."
