Fuck, what I’d do to touch her, bite her and have her again.
“I’d wager that you’re soaked right now too.”
She smiles and I notice her cross her legs, making me smirk. “Wouldn’t you like to know?”
Fuck yes I would, but I already know that she’s turned on too. We’re playing with fire and flirting like this only makes me want her so much more.
We both finish our meals, our legs brushing against one another’s every now and again, sending zaps of electricity up and down my thighs.
Neither of us want dessert and we’ve finished the wine, so I stand and offer her my hand. “Come, let’s go.” To my surprise, she takes it and lets me lead her to the lift again.
As the lift doors open silently, I see Nora twitch beside me. “You okay? You were shifty on the way up, too.”
Her pupils are blown when she looks at me, and she’s chewing her bottom lip. A total contrast with how she was minutes ago with me at the table. “Not a huge fan of small spaces, especially the type that move really bloody fast. I felt okay on the way up but now…” She fiddles with the strap of her bag as she mutters something else to herself.
She fidgets around the small space, practically vibrating, losing all her usual calm demeanour. When the lift doors close, it shudders and jolts, making Nora practically jump into my arms. “Ask me something, anything, please?” she shouts, fear lacing her voice. “I need a distraction because I’m already heating up and freaking out.”
“Okay…”Tell me all the way this can go wrong because I can name at least a hundred.“What’s your favourite colour?”
“Probably white because my favourite flower is a white sweet pea.”
“Mine’s black. What age did you lose your virginity?”
Her head snaps my way even in the low light of the lift I feel her scowl. “Really?”
“Really. I’m your distraction, so fess up, shorty.”
“I don’t know why I thought this was a good idea. God, I’m so fucking hot.” She mumbles to herself, fanning her face with her hand.
“Oh, but it is. Now come on, tell me.”
“Fine. I was nineteen. It wasn’t good. He was a one-night stand, which was stupid on my part.” She takes a deep breath but doesn’t continue.
“I was seventeen.”
“That’s it? No, I loved her, and she broke my heart,” she mocks. Truth is, I’ve never been with anyone that I cared about, maybe not until her anyway.
When I don’t respond, I notice her breathing staccato as she grips her hand on my arm. “Grayson, I need to get out of here, seriously… I… can’t… breathe.”
I have zero clue about how to calm a woman down, especially one like Nora. She should be a pro at calming herself down. Don’t therapists have a plethora of techniques in their back pocket?
She grips me harder.
Should I pat her back? Talk more? Talk less? I have no fucking idea and she’s freaking out. So, I use my instincts. I grab her body and push her against the cool metal wall of the lift, burying my fingers in her hair as I smash our lips together.
Well damn, even I’m not sure I saw that coming.
Her lips are pillow soft and full; exactly as I remember them. Her chest rises and falls rapidly, but I know her brain hasn’t processed what I’ve done yet because she hasn’t moved her mouth. It’s then I start to panic.What have I done?Kissed the one person who said she doesn’t want to kiss me again. In my defence, she needed my help, and she smelled like fucking cupcakes and brownies, and I happen to love both of those things, so… can you blame me?
I decide to move our connected lips by edging my tongue along the seam of her lower lip, moving my mouth deeper to hers. She opens tentatively at first, allowing me one swipe of our tongues. I growl, needing more. Her hands fist against my shirt as I move mine to her arse and squeeze us together, knowing she can feel how hard I am. We taste each other for the first time in months. Memories swirl around my head, reminding me of that night – but tonight, she tastes sweet like the wine, and I need more. Our teeth clash in a frenzy of desire and lust as our tongues fight for dominance. It feels like we’ve been suspended in this lift for hours, but in reality, it’s been seconds.
The sound of the lift doors opening ping breaks whatever spell was just cast on us. Nora shoves me backwards, her eyes blazing, and all but runs through the doors, leaving a cold draft in her absence.
Me? I’m left with a raging hard on, gawking after the woman who drives me fucking crazy, in the best way.
I cough and adjust my shirt she was just fisting, attempting to hide my erection as I walk outside. I find Nora as I hand the valet the ticket for my car before walking towards her, her arms are protectively wrapped around her body. The chill emanating from her right now tells me she’s not overly happy with my choice of lift-calming techniques.
“Car is on the way.”
