“What makes you think I’m not being sincere?”

“Because you’re a womanizer.”

“Maybe that’s true, but it doesn’t mean I don’t feel everything I just said.”

“For fuck’s sake, Noah, you took a woman’s phone number right in front of me. How the hell was that supposed to make me feel?” she challenged.

With a groan, I replied, “Fine. You’re right. In hindsight, I can see that was a total dick thing to do, and I’m really fucking sorry.”

“Do you really mean that?”

“Yeah, I really do.” And that was the truth. I wasn’t just shooting her a line. I really did think she was gorgeous and sexy. More than anything, I wanted her to believe me. Quirking my brows at her, I replied, “Want me to prove it?”

“How?”

I reached into my pants and pulled out the piece of paper bearing Emily’s number. Holding it in front of her face, I ripped it into several small pieces. Gaby held my gaze as I threw them up and let them rain down on the elevator floor. “How was that?”

“I’m impressed.”

“I’m a man of my word.”

As she continued staring at me, her gaze dropped from my eyes down to my mouth. When she licked her lips, I groaned. “I really want to kiss you for real.”

“Do you?”

“Hell, yes.” Peering into her dark eyes, I asked, “Can I kiss you for real, Gaby?”

After drawing in a deep breath, I waited anxiously for her response.

Chapter Five: Gaby

“Can I kiss you for real, Gaby?”

Noah’s plea echoed through my head. Oh God, was I really entertaining the thought of letting him? It was the last thing I needed.Hewas the last thing I needed. Not to mention I was still disgusted by him … wasn’t I?

Despite all the alarms going off in my head, I couldn’t help wanting to say yes. A little wedding hookup couldn’t hurt. One night with a womanizer couldn’t be that detrimental to me emotionally … could it?

As I stood at the edge of a metaphorical cliff, I decided to truly be spontaneous for once in my life. And then I jumped. “Kiss me,” I commanded in a whisper.

Noah didn’t have to be told twice. He instantly slanted his head. Instead of crushing his lips to mine like he had before, he came at me so sweetly. His velvet lips feathered against mine. It wasn’t what I was expecting, but I sure didn’t mind.

Gently, his tongue swept against my bottom lip. I slid mine across to meet his, and our tongues swirled against each other. Even with the sweetness of the kiss, I felt the heat begin burning between my legs. I wanted so much more than what he was giving me.

It was as if Noah sensed what I was feeling. And then something turned over in us both. It was like I couldn’t get enough of him, and he couldn’t get enough of me. Launching himself at me, Noah took us both down to the floor. With the feel of his tongue inside me and his hands on my body, I didn’t give two shits about the dirty floor anymore. I just wanted him to keep doing what he was doing.

Noah broke his lips from mine, his tongue licking a trail along my jawline. As I dipped my head back, he started working his way down my neck. At the same time, his hand came to my breast, squeezing it between his fingers. “Oh God,” I moaned, my eyes rolling upwards.

It was then I was distracted by the elevator’s ceiling lights. “What if there’s cameras?”

His chuckle feathered against my collarbone. “Then we’ll give them a show.”

“You are such a bad influence,” I chided.

“So I’ve been told.”

Before I could call him a smart-ass, Noah shifted his hips between my thighs. As he returned to kiss me, I widened my legs to give him more room. When he thrust his hips against mine, I gasped with pleasure at the feel of his hardness. There was something to be said for the silky material of his pants. Especially sliding against my equally silky pants. It almost felt like there wasn’t a barrier between us. Tearing my lips from his, I couldn’t help asking, “Are you not wearing underwear?”

With hooded eyes, he replied, “No. I’m commando. Why?”
