I didn’t know what to say; I wasn’t ready yet to talk to him. I hadn’t cooled down enough.
“I might be stupid, but I’m not blind.”
I was about to open my mouth to give him a smart ass reply when he slid his hand around the back of my neck and brought me closer, his mouth coming down gently on mine. I kept my legs moving to keep me upright as his soft lips brushed mine, once, twice, three times. Then my knees started getting weak.
I couldn’t think…a haze settled in around my thoughts, dulling everything but my senses as they suddenly awakened.
My heart hammered uncontrollably, my need for him escalating with every passing second, with every touch of his lips against mine, every second his body was pressed so intimately against mine.
I pulled back slightly. Looking at him, I tried to figure out what was going on, but my mind was suddenly cloudy. All I could see was him.
He smirked at me.
“I still don’t forgive you.” I needed to get a grip on myself. I moved backwards, towards more shallow water, not stopping until my feet found purchase on the bottom of the pool. The water was just below my shoulders.
“I have no control over Dominique.”
“Didn’t ask you to.”
“She’s overstepped.”
“That’s one way to put it.”
“I’m not interested in her.”
“May want to tell her that.”
“I will.”
He stopped a few inches away from me, ran a wet hand over his hair, slicking it back. I followed his every move, the path the droplets took as they slid down the side of his face before dropping back into the pool.
“Abs…”
“What?” The word came out soft, all my harshness having apparently evaporated in that kiss.
“There’s only one woman I want…” He moved towards me slowly again.
I stood still, watching him approach. My mind was almost afraid of trying to decode that statement.
His mouth claimed mine in one hot kiss, his hands on my waist about the only thing keeping me upright as his lips met mine a second time in a crushing kiss.
I didn’t know what I was thinking.
Icouldn’tthink.
I moaned into the kiss as he backed me up against the side of the pool and the surface scraped lightly against my back. I almost thanked him since I didn’t feel like I could keep myself upright anymore. He was making me weak in more ways than one.
He pulled back, mere inches away from my flushed face. His eyes locked on mine with a fiery intensity I hadn’t seen before.
I couldn’t help putting my fingertips against my stinging lips for a brief moment.
It was like I was outside of my body, I couldn’t control my thoughts, my heart, my want of the man right in front of me.
For a moment, I wondered if this was what it would have always been like…or was it because I’d deemed him…us…off limits for so long…
“Abbie...” His voice was throaty, deepening with a desire I hadn’t heard before.
For once, I didn’t want to talk.
