“Jericho—”
I don’t give her a chance to stop me. I yank her to my chest and crush my lips to hers.
The kiss I give her is the kind that says you make me horny as fuck, and I want to fuck the hell out of you.
It’s the kind of kiss you keep to yourself, not because it’s secret, but it’s too scandalous. Although, I’ve never cared about that. I’d kiss her just like this wherever and whenever I want.
She only encourages my reckless behavior by kissing me back.
I shove her up against the wall, but the moment gives her the chance to turn her face away from me.
“What are you doing?” she asks breathlessly.
“I want you.” I nibble the side of her neck.
Her eyes meet mine again. “Friends aren’t supposed to want each other.”
“You and I are not friends, River St. James.” I plant more kisses along the side of her neck and lick the shell of her ear like I wanted to earlier. “Friends don’t want to ride the fuck out of each other.”
A little moan escapes her lips, and I lap up the sound. “I…”
I guide her face back to me, and like a crazed lunatic, I get off on the war waging in the depths of her eyes. Desire and reason clash against the logic of what we should and shouldn’t do.
“Tell me I’m wrong,” I challenge, stroking the hollow of her throat. She whimpers and catches her breath, trying to regain some of that bravado she had previously, but she can’t.
“Remember I know you.” My voice drops low at the same time my hands do, and I roll her dress up, feeling my way through the slit so I can touch her pussy. She’s wet, wet again for me. “I know what your body wants. What your body needs. You needme. Me to fuck you properly. The way I used to.”
Her breath hitches, and her cheeks are so read they almost match her hair. “You said no unnecessary touching or kissing. Or fucking.”
“This is necessary.” I kiss her again, and she kisses me back, unyielding and without restraint. Good. This is how I want her. This is what I want.
She melts against me, pushing her breasts into my chest.
I want to lose control for one damn night. Just one night, then I’ll reconvene.
“Tell me, Mermaid. Are you on the pill?” I whisper along her lips, between kisses.
“Yes.”
“Good, because I want to fuck you raw.”
ChapterTwenty-One
River
As soon as I give him my answer, his lips move right back to mine for a ravaging kiss that makes my blood dance in my veins and sizzle as if I’ve been thrown into the fire.
Jericho’s touch was already intense, but I’m unprepared for the fierceness of his need when he pauses our kissing to pull me into the closest room—the piano room.
A dim light snaps on the moment we enter and crash back against the wall. There he continues devouring my lips like a man starved of sustenance for centuries.
Whatever was holding him back has unleashed and infiltrated my mind and body.
I can’t think, and I don’t have the control to stop myself from wanting this, from wanting everything he promised, or wanting him.
Damn me and to hell with everything. I don’t want to care about the million and one things I have weighing on my mind like an unwanted guests. I don’t want to think about anything that’s not Jericho Grayson for however long I have him.
Not how well we did tonight at playing the couple, or that the wedding is only a few weeks away.
