“Not even an A-plus?” I ask, feigning offense.
She shrugs, her grin playful. “I don’t hand out A-pluses for striking out.”
I laugh, shaking my head.
“But don’t worry,” she says as she reaches across the table and puts her hand on mine. “You won’t strike out with me tonight.”
I almost ask for the check right then and there even though we haven’t even gotten our drinks yet.
The waitress returns a few minutes later with our drinks and I hold up my beer.
“Cheers,” I say, smiling at the amazing woman sitting across from me. “To the start of something special.”
She gives me a gorgeous smile as she clinks her glass against mine. “Cheers.”
We hold each other’s eyes as we both take a sip.
The tension builds in the air, thick and simmering, like the first crackle of a fire that’s about to roar to life. And in this beautiful heated moment, I know—whatever happens next, it’s going to burn smoldering hot.
CHAPTER NINE
Cara
“That was a nice dinner,” I say with a deep breath as I slide my key into the lock on my door. “Thank you for inviting me.”
Graham is standing on my doorstep and I think we both know this night isn’t even close to being finished despite what I’m saying.
“Anytime,” he whispers as I open the door.
I lean against the door frame as I gaze into his sexy dark eyes. I’ve never felt this comfortable with someone so quickly. I’ve been living in the Greene Mountains for a month now, but here with Graham, it’s the first time I’ve felt like I’m home.
I want him to come in, but I don’t know how to say it. All of that aggressive sexual energy I had before dinner is nowhere to be found. I don’t know how to move on to the next step. How do I get to first base?
I nibble my bottom lip, clasp my hands together, and smile shyly.
He seems to be reading my mind as he looks at my mouth. I wonder if he’s good at reading people or if it’s because we’re connecting on another level…
I guess it doesn’t matter because I’m about to get what I want regardless.
He steps forward and my body just reacts.
I get all melty inside as I step forward too. I step on my toes as he leans down, our lips connecting like it’s the most natural thing in the world. Like this is exactly what our mouths were built for. Like talking and eating are only used to waste time until our mouths can do this.
“Mmmmm,” I moan as I slide my hand up his powerful chest. He’s cupping my cheeks, holding my mouth in place as we passionately kiss.
I’m already so wet. I think I’ve been wet the whole damn night. I may need an IV drip to rehydrate after this man leaves.
It would be worth it. No regrets.
His kiss turns hard and demanding, ripping the air from my lungs and making my legs turn to jelly.
I need this man to come inside. To come inside my house. To cum inside me.
“Do you want to come in?” I ask, breathlessly.
He grins as he reaches down and picks me up. I wrap my legs around his body and my arms around his neck as our lips connect once again.
“I thought you’d never ask,” he growls on my mouth as he carries me into the house, kicking the door closed behind him.
“Bedroom is down the hall to the left,” I say, getting straight to it. I’ve seen enough of this man to know I want him. I don’t need any more time to decide. He’s passed every single test I have.
We kiss and stumble into the wall on the way to my bedroom. I gasp when he leans into me, pressing me into the wall. His hard cock is pushing against my throbbing pussy and it feels so good I want to cry.
“I can’t get enough of you,” he says as he grabs a fistful of my hair and pulls my head back. He puts his lips on my neck, kissing and licking and making me moan. “I’ve been waiting my whole life for a moment like this. I’ve been waiting for you.”
I roll my hips, grinding my needy pussy on him as I surrender to his lips, to his touch, to his big cock that’s sending jolts of fire surging through me.
He nibbles on my earlobe and then drags his tongue down the side of my neck as he grips my hair, holding my head back. It drives me wild. I think I might pass out.
“Bedroom,” I gasp breathlessly. “Please.”
He pulls me away from the wall and carries me into my room. I grab the sides of his face and shove my tongue down his throat as he brings me to the bed.
“I have a candle…” I say, barely able to get the words out between deep sultry kisses. “…on the dresser…”
