Fuck, but I bet she’s soft all over.
I can’t even begin to fathom what it would feel like to sink inside the warmth of her body.
As tempted as I am to lay my palm over her breast and squeeze, I resist the urge. Instead, my fingers ghost over her collarbone until they reach the base of her throat. There’s a hitch in her breathing as my hand stills over the pulse that flutters madly like the wings of a hummingbird. My thumb and forefinger stroke over the delicate column until they’re able to tighten around the curve of her jaw, while my other hand wraps around her hip to keep her firmly in place as our mouths stay fused.
In the blink of an eye, every bit of hard-fought self-control has fled. It wouldn’t take much to slip my hand under the flirty little dress and yank her panties to the side so I can fuck her against the side of the car.
It’s only the bright light of an oncoming truck that has my head clearing and my hands falling away from her delectable body. Even though I don’t want to, I take a swift step in retreat, putting some much-needed distance between us. Poppy stares at me with eyes full of disbelief as one hand rises, grazing her swollen lips with the tips of her fingers, almost as if she can’t believe that just happened.
Well…that makes two of us.
The tow truck rolls past before pulling in front of the bug and backing up.
“Go wait in my truck,” I grunt, pissed at myself for allowing this to spiral so far out of control. “I’ll deal with this.”
When the driver’s side door opens and Jonny jumps down, my gaze swings back to her. She’s still flattened against the side of her car as if she needs it to keep her upright.
“Now,” I growl, trying to prod her into movement.
She snaps to attention before her teeth scrape against her lower lip. It’s like a shot straight to my dick, and it takes every ounce of self-control not to lay my hands on her for a second time.
“Hey, Mase,” Jonny calls out in the darkness.
“Go on, Poppy. I’ll be there as soon as this is taken care of.”
She straightens and for a moment, I wonder if she’ll argue. That’s the last thing I need right now. Just as I step in her direction, she scrambles away, taking off for my truck. I huff out a breath before swiveling toward Jonny, only to find him staring at Poppy.
“Thanks for getting here so fast,” I say, pulling his attention back to me.
He ignores the comment as a smile quirks his lips. “Pretty lady you’ve got there.”
It’s on the tip of my tongue to tell him that she’s not mine, but I can already see interest brewing in his eyes. And I’ll be damned if I stoke that fire.
“Thanks.”
When I say nothing more, he turns to the VW and scratches his chin before giving me a bit of side eye. “Can’t believe you’d date someone who drives one of these things.”
My teeth are so tightly clenched that it’s possible they’ll shatter. “Do me a favor and tow it to my place.”
“I’m curious…does she let you drive it?” There’s a pause as he grins. “Cause I’d pay good money to see that.”
Such a funny fucker.
Instead of responding, I toss him the keys. “Pull it right into the garage.”
“You got it, man.”
With that, I stalk to the pickup. My gaze locks on Poppy’s as she sits in the passenger seat. I hate how much I like her there. What I need to do is drop her ass off and get the hell away from this girl before I do anything else I’ll regret.
Poppy
Istare straight ahead as the truck barrels toward town. For the umpteenth time, my fingers rise to my lips before drifting over them in shock.
Has anyone ever kissed me quite so thoroughly?
It doesn’t take much of a mental deep dive to come up with an answer. Most of the kisses I’ve received have either been tentative or lacking in any real passion.
This was the complete opposite.
