Her answer made him straighten. “Not many people would do what you did. In fact, everyone else was just standing on the other side of the fence waiting for somebody else to save the kid.”
When her shoulders jerked in an awkward shrug, he saw how uncomfortable his praise made her.
She brought her drink to her plump lips. Her full bottom lip looked juicy and sweet, like a treat he wanted to savor long into the night.
“What made you get on that bull?” She turned the tables on him.
He sent her a sideways grin. “I’ll try anything once. And…I wanted to impress you.”
Her eyes flared with surprise. Maybe she didn’t think men admitted to such tactics to grab the attention of a beautiful woman. A throaty laugh escaped her, as soft as her sigh but even stronger for the force of his reaction to it.
His abs hardened and a dark heat coiled in his core. If she’d have him, he’d keep her moaning in bliss all night long.
She clicked her tongue. “That was a big miss.”
With a laugh at his own expense, he bobbed his head. “You’re right there. But you can’t fault a guy for tryin’.”
Their gazes locked and held. He’d read once that kissing started with the eyes, and he let his stare work into hers. Women knew when he wanted them—he didn’t toy around.
Trinny’s lips parted on a sound he couldn’t hear this time over a group of revelers in the back getting their party on. But he could see just how much he was affecting her simply by looking his fill.
He leaned close, still pinning her gaze under his. “I know one way I could impress you,” he drawled.
Her body gave a little wiggle on the stool. Oh yeah, he was getting to her, just like he hoped.
Those hazel eyes narrowed on his. “Think you can last longer than the three seconds you lasted on that bull?”
His smile crinkled his eyes. Holding out a hand, he said, “Try me.”
She glanced down at his upturned palm. Did she notice all the small, hard calluses along the base of his fingers? He hoped so, because she was about to get the full experience of them once he stripped off her clothes and stroked his hands over her.
“My place is right around the corner. No strings.”
Her eyes flicked back to his. After a loaded heartbeat, she nodded. “No strings.” She slipped her hand into his and he pulled her off the stool.
Her small, booted feet hit the dusty floor, and he pulled her along with him through the tide of people drinking beer and meeting up with old friends.
All Jaren could focus on was the feel of Trinny’s hand in his as he led her out. As soon as they cleared the door, he grabbed her and spun her against the wall. Crushing his hips against hers, he pulled a gasp from her sweet lips.
Looking into her eyes again, he said, “I can’t wait another minute to taste you.”
He kissed her. A gritty moan slipped from her, and he swallowed it with one of his own. The hard pulse of need in his groin was telling him to break the kiss and get her home and into his bed as fast as possible.
But his brain wanted to take more time with her, work her up a little—okay, work her up a lot. He wanted her soaking wet and shaking for him. Coming apart in his arms, in his bed…around his cock.
He angled his head to deepen the kiss and her palm hit his chest, fingers closing on the fabric of his shirt. Her fingernails raked his pec lightly, making him want more of that pleasure-pain of claw marks on his back.
When he tore away from the kiss and stared down at her, he found her eyes glittering with desire.
He closed his hand over hers where it dug into his shirt and enfolded it in his grip. “This way.”
He pulled her along with him, navigating the sidewalk he traveled several times a week to sit at that bar. But he never wanted to get home so fast before.
“How much farther?” Her breathless tone had him questioning if they were walking too fast or if she was really just that eager to wrap her curvy legs around him.
“Uhh…thirty more steps. That’s my place with the white porch.” He threw her a look, but she was focused on the house up ahead that he shared with his brothers, Judd and Jace.
Lately he never knew who would be at home, though. With both his brothers involved in committed relationshipsandthe WEST business, they were seldom around. He hoped to hell they weren’t there now, waiting to razz him about his stupidity for jumping on that bull.
