She cocks her head to the side. “Excuse me?”
I lean down and nip at her throat, enjoying the way her pulse flickers at my touch. “You have a varied porn-watching history, but extreme kidnap kink isn’t in there. Having your pussy eaten, though, that’s close to the top of your list.” I kiss her throat.
She grips my arms. “You can’t hack my system. No one can–”
“I can.” I meet her eyes again, my gaze straying to her lips. “It’s how I know everything about you. It’s also how I know you’re the one for me. The only one.”
“You’re verifiably insane.” She shakes her head. But I notice she isn’t pulling away. She isn’t scared. If anything, she’s even more turned on. The blush on her cheeks, the way her pupils are dilated–fuck, she needs me almost as much as I need her.
“No, I’m the only man for you.”
“You’re totally nutso.”
“Is that right?” I can’t help teasing her.
She nods.
“That must be why you’ve searched me so many times in the past year. I had a running count, but at last check, you’d run my name and info at least two-hundr–” She slaps her hand over my mouth, her eyes going wide.
“That–that was for work!”
“Mmm-hmm,” I say against her palm. Her searches went far deeper than a simple work inquiry, and we both know it.
“Professional curiosity,” she adds and slowly lowers her hand. “That’s all. It’s certainly not a thing between us, and itdefinitelydoesn’t mean I’m going to marry you!”
“You seem so decided.”
Her chin tilts up. “I am, and I’m leaving. Now.” She tries to scoot off the counter, but that only presses her even more tightly to me.
I groan from the pressure of her body, the sweet torture of having her without being inside her yet. “How about a wager?” I ask.
She stills. “What?”
I didn’t want to pull this card, but she’s forced my hand. The one thing Ocean can never run from is a challenge. It’s why she’s so fucking irresistible to me.
“Let’s do a wager. If you win, you can leave. If I win, you marry me.”
She scoffs. “Like I said, you’reinsane.” But there’s a glint in her eye.
“If you’re chicken, I under–”
“I’m not!” she yelps, offended.
“Then take the wager.”
Her eyes narrow. “What is it?”
“Nothing huge.” I shrug. “Just let me take you to bed for one night. If you want to leave after that, you can. But if you don’t, you’re mine–and not just for the day or the week. You’re mine forever. The same way I’m already yours.”
She chews her lip. “This is nuts.”
“So you keep saying.” I drop light kisses along her jaw.
“And that’s cheating.”
I shrug and keep doing it. I can’t get enough contact.
“One night. We’re going to … you know–”
