She looked at me with suspicion, and I grinned at her. “You drive a hard bargain, but I think if I can manage my intense need to commit, we’ll have fun. And we could both use a bit of fun.”

Her lips twitched while she fought, and lost, the urge to smile. “You’re sure you can manage? You’re not going to ask me my ring size?” She wiggled her ring finger and raised one eyebrow.

“I’ll do my best,” I promised.

I looked around. As nice as it was, I couldn’t wait to get out of this coffee shop. “Want to get out of here?”

Her eyes widened. “Now?”

Indicating her empty coffee cup, I asked. “You’re done, right?”

“Oh!” She stood and gathered her purse. “So, that’s that? Negotiations complete we head to your place?”

My mouth fell open in shock. I barked out a laugh and quickly pulled her into my chest, wrapping my arms around her back.

She stood stiffly in my embrace. More than ever now I knew this was not her usual modus operandi.

I dipped my head to her ear and spoke softly, though I could hear the laughter in my voice. “Give me credit for a little bit more finesse. Allow me to seduce you into my bed. Get you to the point where you really want to be there, hm?”

She relaxed in my arms. Her hands came up to my waist and she leaned back to look at me, a wry smile twisting her mouth to the side.

“I guess you can tell I haven’t done this in a while?”

I bent my neck and kissed the tip of her nose. “It’s just like riding a bull.”

“A bull? Don’t you mean a bike?” she replied huskily.

I tilted my head back and forth as though thinking it through before continuing. “If it’s a bike, it’s definitely a Harley.”

Understanding dawned and her tinkly laugh broke free. “You’re setting my expectations pretty high. I hope I’m not going to be disappointed.”

“You won’t be,” I promised before releasing her.

I linked my fingers through hers and led her out of the coffee shop.

Minty

Holy fuck, I’d been dating the wrong men.

Lucky had me pinned against my door, his pelvis locked against mine, my thighs spread, my toes just barely touching the ground.

My hands clung to his waist as he cupped my jaw between his palms and slowly and methodically devoured my mouth with single-minded attention. His tongue toyed with mine, then he gently sucked my bottom lip into his mouth, releasing it only to nibble at the corners of my mouth.

He reduced me to a wanton, panting mess.

I tipped my chin back further, surrendering my mouth, offering my throat.

He dropped one hand to wrap around my ribs, his thumb barely brushing the underside of my breast.

I gasped at the contact, breaking the kiss, my breasts swelling with anticipation.

He stared into my eyes as his thumb skated across my cheek, dragged across my lower lip, and ran along the line of my jaw to the other side of my throat. With his thumb on one side of my jaw, and his forefinger on the other, he palmed my throat and pushed firmly on my jaw, forcing my chin up.

My low groan broke the silence of the night as his mouth hovered over mine and his thumb grazed the underswell of my breast.

“Lucky,” I whispered.

He didn’t smile as he went back in, his mouth firm, his cock hard against my stomach.
