“You tell me.”
“I don’t know. It’s not like I’ve done this before.”
His nostrils widen. “That’s fine.”
“But you have.” The thought makes my stomach roll.
“Does that matter to you?”
Far more than it should.“Nope.”
He stares at me for a moment before taking a step in my direction. “We keep going until one of us stops having fun.”
“No.” I need something more concrete than that. A clear boundary that will hold me accountable and stop me from doing anything stupid. “Until the New Year.” That should give me enough time to get him out of my system.
“Because you’ll be moving back to San Francisco?”
I nod. “The house will be pretty much finished, and I have a pending contract for a show.”
The muscles in his neck strain. “I can work with that.”
My stomach becomes a chaotic mess of buzzing butterflies as he walks over to me, pushes my thighs apart, and steps between them.
A shiver rolls through me as he curls his hand around the back of my neck and exposes my biggest secret with a single brush of his thumb over my pulse.
“You’re nervous.”
“A little bit,” I confess.
“What else?” He leans in and kisses my neck, drawing another shudder from me.
“Excited.” IwantJulian, and I’m done avoiding my feelings in hopes of my attraction fading. I’ve tried that strategy for years to no avail, so I might as well give in and enjoy myself.
I can feel him smiling against my skin. “I’ve waited a long time for this.”
“Exactly how long are we talking here? Because maybe I didn’t make you work hard enough for it—”
He presses his mouth against mine for the first time in almost a decade, effectively shutting me up. All my brain cells go on strike as Julian kisses me like it might be his last chance to do so.
I’ve had a lot of kisses in my lifetime, but none compares to this. The longing. The passion. The spine-tingling, mind-melting, decade-in-the-making kind of kiss that sends my body into a spiral of sensations.
Julian takes his sweet time, teasing me with every brush of his lips and every swipe of his tongue.
His movements are intentional, meant to drive me mad as I wrap my legs around his waist and drag him closer. Hisfingers slide through my hair and cradle my head as he grinds against me. We both groan, and I take advantage, swiping my tongue against his.
Our kiss grows more desperate. At one point, I rip myself away from him and tug at his hair. Julian’s muscles tremble as I kiss a path down the slope of his neck, his skin flushing.
His hips swivel as he teases me with the press of his cock, and my head falls to the side as he snatches back control and turns me into a breathless, throbbing mess. He claims my mouth. Neck.Chest. He blazes a trail, burning away the memories of any men who came before him.
I’m not sure how long we battle for dominance, but neither one of us stops until I’m lying flat on my back with my legs hanging over the side of the bed and Julian hovering above me.
Before I have a chance to protest, he drops to his knees and makes quick work of my shoes and jeans.
He kisses his way up my thigh before stopping in front of my underwear. “Cute, although today is Friday.”
“I thought these were cuter.”
He smirks at theWine Wednesday-themed underwear. “I agree.”
