Heat traveled over my skin, and my muscles turned languid as he explored my mouth, tangling his tongue with mine. Too soon, he pulled back with soft kisses, but he didn’t move his body from mine.
His heat still surrounded me, and I didn’t want to open my eyes.
“Alice.”
My eyes fluttered open against my will at his command. “Yes?”
“Was that okay?” His fingers tightened around my jaw and hips where they’d stayed for the duration of the kiss. He hadn’t touched my nipples, which ached for his attention.
“More than.” I couldn’t remember why there should have been a red alarm going off in my head. But the rational part of my brain was telling me this was dangerous. Everything about this situation was. But all I could think about was how badly I wanted him.
His lips twitched. “You said we were friends.”
“That’s right.”
He dipped his head to meet my gaze. “Friends don’t kiss like that.”
My brain was clearly not firing as quickly as his because I was still drunk on that kiss and the feel of his lips on mine.
“Can we do it again?” And not stop next time. Never. Ever. Stop.
He shifted, and his cock brushed against my center, leaving us both gasping.
Then he stepped back and ran a hand through his hair. “I can’t think with you so close.”
Against my will, my gaze traveled down to the large bulge visible under his sweatpants. With a firm tug, he’d be bare to me. I was confident he wasn’t wearing briefs because I’d felt every ridge of his cock through the thin material.
I bit my lip, then asked, “Are you commando?”
He tipped his head back. “Fuck. Is that what you’re thinking about?”
I gestured helplessly below his waistband.
“You should probably wear briefs. You have a young child in the house.”
“I don’t normally have hot nannies walking around in see-through lace.”
For the first time, I looked down to see what he did. My dusky nipples were hard and clearly visible.
I pushed him back with a palm on his hard stomach and jumped down. My ankle twinged, reminding me of falling from monkey bars when I was a kid. I immediately lifted it, wincing in pain.
“Why did you do that? I would have helped you.”
“Us together. In close proximity. Doesn’t end well.” I wasn’t responsible or smart or any of the things I’d been aiming for the last few years. I was an intelligent woman who didn’t jump into just anyone’s bed. I made careful, prudent decisions, except the second I was attracted to someone, I lost all sense of reason. My body and needs took over, and I lost my mind.
He lifted me in his arms, and my heart was racing again. He’d saved me from the glass, and now this. He sat on the couch, bringing me down with him to rest on his lap. “Do you think this is a good idea?”
I was surprised my voice was so even because my ass was cradled in the apex of his thighs. He was still hard. But his hands were running over my ankle, gently probing.
I winced.
“It hurts?”
“Just a twinge. I’ll be okay.”
“I can get some ice.”
I shook my head. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. I should get to bed.” And away from his touch.
