“Like hell you couldn’t. You’ve got everything you need, right here.” He pushed his hand through the cluster of flowers until he finally reached my chest. He covered my rapidly beating heart with his palm, his gaze colliding with mine.
“No,” I whispered, lacing my fingers with his. “Now I have everything I need.”
Emotion moved over his face, and he cleared his throat. “Let’s get out of here.” Then he glanced around. “If you can. You probably have…stuff to do.”
I had to smile. He was clearly out of his depth, but he was trying. For me. “Nope, all the stuff is done.”
“Good. So, let’s split.”
An idea popped into my head. Abrilliantone. If we were going to do this, I wanted to take him somewhere special to me. The first place I’d started dreaming.
“Sure.” My smile grew. “I know just where we should go.”
His gaze returned to mine, one corner of his mouth rising. “Does it happen to include a horizontal surface?” He glanced down at his visible erection, showcased by his snug jeans. “Pryor, we have a situation.”
Laughing, I tugged on his hand. “Just let me get dressed.” I winked over my shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to accommodate your request.”
Under an hour later, we were staring up at the back of my childhood home in Jersey while I cursed my decision to wear low heels to the venue tonight. I knew better. My feet were always on fire after a show, but I’d been hoping to seduce Jed.
Damn vanity always screwed me over.
I gripped the trunk of the tree nearest to the house and shot him a look. His jaw was set and he kept glaring at the house—when he wasn’t glaring at me. “C’mon. It’s an easy climb up, I swear.”
“You think climbing the tree is the part I have a problem with, Peyton?”
Uh oh. Already I’d picked up that when he used my name and not Rulebreaker or vixen or baby—I really liked that one—that he was annoyed.
My ass grew warmer. Not that his being annoyed was necessarily a bad thing.
“We won’t stay long,” I promised. “We aren’t going inside either. Just on the roof over the back porch. See, it’s flat.” I couldn’t keep the triumph out of my tone. “You wanted a horizontal surface, right?”
“Not on someone’s roof. And I don’t care if we’re not going in. It’s still trespassing.”
“The house is for sale. No one will ever know or care.” I flashed him a smile I knew my backside would pay for later. I couldn’t wait. “If we get caught, I’ll get us out of trouble.”
“The hell you will.” His hand came down on my bottom just as I boosted myself up the tree.
I laughed and just climbed higher, using the many branches for leverage. My natural athleticism came in handy, as did my muscle memory of climbing this very tree dozens of times years ago, but whoa, this was a lot harder than it had been when I was eight.
Sticking out my foot, I balanced on the edge of the roof, gathering my nerve for the final leap. I screeched a little as I jumped, but I made it without falling to my knees.
Score.
Turning back, I realized Jed was still on the ground.
“Chicken,” I taunted.
“You are so getting it later.”
That only made me laugh harder. “Promise?”
When he didn’t respond, I fanned herself. “Whew, it’s warm tonight.” Actually it was quite chilly, but he would keep me warm. “Think I’ll just get rid of a few layers.” I tugged off my top, revealing my lacy red demi-cup bra. I sent my shirt sailing, laughing in delight as it got caught on a branch. “Damn, I’m good.”
“Woman, you’re on my last nerve.”
“Is that the one in your cock or somewhere else?”
Growling, he ascended the tree at a speed that got me warm all on its own. He was freakinghot. Those muscled arms and legs made quick work of it, and he even snagged my top on the way. He planted his boot on the roof and then he was up there with me, stalking toward me with my shirt in his fist.
