“Right.” She nods. “I just didn’t want you to think that I’m here for any other reason.”
Her tongue slides against her bottom lip and my eyes follow the movement.
“What reason would that be?” I ask.
“You know, what we discussed in your office yesterday.”
I nod.
Telling her we shouldn’t see each other in any capacity, particularly not repeating what we did in Vegas, was the right thing to do, but the moment the words left my mouth, I hated them.
The fact that Sophie is now there every time I turn around isn’t making this easy at all.
I motion to the case nearby. The one that she had been looking at before I came over. “What do you think of the jewelry?”
“It’s gorgeous. Hannah is super talented.” She beams.
“Yeah, she is.”
“This one is my favorite.” She fingers the necklace hanging from the jewelry stand on the counter. “The delicate chain with the wildflower pendant.”
“You should try it on.”
Sophie shakes her head. “That’s okay. It’s not in my budget right now.”
I ignore her refusal and reach for the necklace. Unclasping it, I lean forward to reach around her neck.
Being this close, her scent washes over me. It’s light. Fig and citrus. Soft and elegant, like a new cashmere sweater.
I fasten the necklace, then gather Sophie’s hair with one hand to lift it out of the loop of the chain. Gently setting down the chain on the base of her neck, I keep my hand wrapped around her hair. My fingers slide along the chain until I reach the front of the necklace. My fingertips graze the smooth skin of Sophie’s chest as I position the pendant there.
Her green eyes lift to mine and I’m flooded with memories of our night together.
An image of Sophie looking up at me, her lips stretched around my cock. The memory of her velvety tongue licking the pre-cum from my tip causes my grip on her hair to tighten.
Sophie’s lips part on a sharp intake of breath and I swear I can see the same memory mirrored in her heated gaze.
Sexual attraction is one thing, but my body’s heightened awareness of this woman is different than anything I’ve ever experienced. The desire to have her again, overwhelming. With each encounter, my brain’s synapses reinforce the connection to Sophie.Mine.
My gaze drops to those perfect pink lips. Lush and full. They’re like a siren drawing me in.
Sophie’s eyes close. It should be a signal of how close we are. How close our lips are.
“There you are.” Hannah’s voice cuts through the moment.
I blink, pulling back from Sophie. Had I forgotten we’re standing in a room full of people?
I release Sophie’s hair. Her hands reach up to smooth it out, her cheeks a rosy pink color now.
“Hi,” Sophie says, her voice tight. “Um, Hunter was helping me try on this necklace.”
“My brother is very helpful.”
After giving me a knowing look, Hannah leans in to inspect the necklace I put on Sophie.
“Aw, that’s one of my favorites,” Hannah says.
“It’s beautiful.” Sophie fingers the pendant. “I love the wildflower design. How did you come up with it?”
