He yanks my body toward his, my protest lost in his touch, especially when he pulses his hard erection against me.
“Does this feel like someone who doesn’t want you? Like someone who only wants to sleep with you because they feel bad for you?” He lowers his mouth toward mine, but changes direction at the last second, lips skimming against my neck. “Because I’ve wanted you for years, Esme. Thought of that kiss for years.”
His teeth nip at my skin, the combination of pleasure and pain causing my core to clench, moisture pooling between my legs.
“Do you have any idea how many times I’ve jerked off thinking of it? Of you.”
I moan, the sensual tone of his words making me feel things I’ve never experienced before, everything new and electrifying. One thing is certain. Creed Lawson has a great bedroom voice.
But is that reason enough to take this leap when I thought I’d made peace with my arrangement with Jameson?
“Yes, I initially turned you down because of our circumstances.” He holds my face in his hands, forcing me to see the truth in his words. “But also because I knew I had no chance with you. Knew if I had you one time, I’d want you all the time. Knew I wouldn’t be able to walk away.”
“You’ll have to, Creed. If that’s a deal-breaker, I apologize, but nothing more can ever come of this. If we do this, it can only be once. Tonight. And when tonight’s over, you need to walk away and pretend it never happened. Just like I will.”
He stares at me for a beat, chewing on his bottom lip, brows pulled in. Finally, he nods his agreement. “I understand.”
“Are you sure about that? You just said—”
He grabs my cheeks, mouth hovering over mine. “Having you for one night is better than not having you at all.” His lips curve into a playful smirk as he waggles his brows. “I just need to make it sure it’s a night you never forget.”
Chapter Twelve
Creed
I slam my lips against Esme’s, tongue tangling with hers, sealing my agreement with a kiss. I didn’t come over here with any misplaced expectations of her promising me more than tonight. Granted, it’ll be torture to watch Jameson touch her, kiss her…marry her.
But I’ll have something Jameson Gates never will. The privilege of being her first. Of showing her what intimacy should be like. What pleasure should feel like.
And that’s exactly what I plan to do.
Tonight, I’ll show her how incredible sex can be. Give her all the pleasure she deserves but has been sheltered from experiencing. Help her feel things she never thought possible.
Help me feel things I never thought possible.
Desperate to catch my breath, I tear away, gaze fixated on her kiss-swollen lips.
Swollen from my kiss.
It shouldn’t turn me on this much, but god, I love seeing the evidence of my touch on her.
Want to see more of it on her body.
A craving more intense than I thought possible consumes me and I cover her mouth once more as I wrap her in my embrace. I was to feel her on every inch of me. But even with her frame molded perfectly to mine, it’s not enough. Does nothing to satisfy the hunger that’s increasing with every addictive swipe of her tongue.
I’ve thought about kissing Esme again for years, that tease of a kiss permanently etched in my mind. But this isn’t the kiss of a shy seventeen-year-old girl. This is the kiss of a woman who knows what she’s doing.
Jealousy bubbles at the idea that I’m not the first person she’s kissed like this. That after tonight, she’ll most likely never kiss me like this again. I can’t think about that right now. Not if we only have one night.
Sliding a hand under her tank top, I graze the skin near her hipbone, savoring in how soft it is.
How responsive she is.
“Creed,” she mewls, shuddering from my touch.
“Holy shit.” I pepper hungry kisses down her jawline before locking my eyes with hers. “Make that sound again.”
I crush my lips back to hers, hand on her hip as I lead her through her living room and down the hallway, easily finding her bedroom, since her apartment is the exact mirror to Anderson’s. When the back of her legs hit her four-post bed, I reluctantly pull my mouth from hers.
