The night in the bar, his room, the salon… countless other times we’ve kissed over the last few days… it’s never been like this.
At this moment, I know he’s been holding back.
Now, he’s not.
His mouth moves over mine possessively, driving me crazy.
My lungs burn, my heart hammers, and my thighs tremble, but I don’t dare stop.
He breaks away, his chest heaving as he lays his forehead to mine.
“Jesus. Fuck, baby.” His hazel orbs blaze into me.
My chest seizes at the gravelly clip in his tone.
“Before you freak out, that was a great fucking start to this date.”
I sink into him, my heart fluttering out of control.
“We need to take this inside before the neighbor peeking through her window calls the cops.”
“You’re a cop.”
“Yeah, and it would suck to have to pull out my badge and explain that with my dick hard as a fucking rock.”
“Oops.”
He drops his head back, blowing out a deep breath. “Killing me,” he mutters, walking us to the door.
I jump down, let us in, and get two steps inside when his arm locks around my waist, yanking my back against his hard body. His lips skim along my jaw, his teeth nipping at my earlobe. “Not sure what I did to deserve that reaction, but I’d sure like to fucking know so I can repeat it.”
“I can’t explain it.” There is no way I’m telling him his jealousy spurred me on.
He spins me, my skin prickling under the intensity in his eyes. The silent interrogation is too much. I squirm to get free, and his arms lock around my waist. My heart thunders in my chest, watching his gaze clear as he figures me out. “You’re finally getting it.”
“I think so.”
“Two times now I’ve broken through and the results were fucking spectacular. In the past, you needed that safety shield to stay in survival mode. With me, you’re safe to let the guard down.”
“I believe that.”
He cups my jaw, his thumb rubbing over my cheek. “How long you need to get ready?”
“You’re an hour early.”
“I came to help with Pepper so you could relax.”
“That was sweet.”
“Yeah, sweet.” His eyes dance with amusement.
“You know where her stuff is.”
He kisses me softly. “Go do what you gotta do, even though you’re already beautiful.”
I go up the stairs on wobbly knees, face-planting on my bed to muffle my squeals.
Get it together, Rowan.
