She pauses, as if she’s thinking about what to say. Then, “Nothing. See you around.”
“Yeah. See you around.”
But my pulse goes into overdrive, and my already hard dick takes the lead. I take a step and then another. One more, and then I turn around, stalk back toward Brianna, and glare at her.
“Why are you doing this to me?”
“Doing what?”
“Making me…” I shake my head, rake my fingers through my long hair. “Making mewantyou, for God’s sake.”
“Jesse, I—”
I grab her then, stare into her eyes. They’re wide, but not in fright or anger. It’s been a while for me, but I still know how to read a woman. Anticipation builds from my pounding heart to my throbbing groin through every inch of my body. Excitement. Nerves. Curiosity.
And again her dark and smoldering eyes.
They’re wide in want.
“Jesus Christ.”
She says nothing, but her lips are slightly parted, and they’re glistening.
God, yes. Those full red lips…
“No.” I let her go. “I apologize.”
“You don’t have to apologize, Jesse.”
“Yeah, I do.” I brush my arms off, as if I’m dusting her off me. “I’m a rocker, but I’m not that kind of rocker. I don’t take advantage of young women.”
She closes the short distance between us. “I know you don’t. Please. If you want to kiss me, just do it.”
Fuck. She knows. How can she not? I all but said it. “No.”
“Please.”
God, her lips are still parted, so sexy and shining, so I grab her again, and I crush my mouth to hers.
I slide my tongue between her lips, and she meets it with her own.
She tastes like smoky bourbon mingled with the sweetness of fresh strawberries.
How long has it been since I’ve kissed a woman?
Too damned long, and even longer since I’ve taken one into my bed.
But what the hell am I doing?
I break the kiss, let her go. Then I walk away.
Chapter Fifteen
Brianna
My lips… Stinging, tingling, and I can’t catch my breath.
I want to yell to Jesse, tell him to come back, but my vocal cords are paralyzed—paralyzed by the arousal and need that has taken me over.
