Chapter 6
Maria
He presses his lips to her and it takes everything she has not to moan against them. His lips are perfect. They fit so expertly against hers, and theyâre plump and soft, and definitely made for kissing.
An explosion of emotions comes with that one kiss. Emotions that flick by too fast for her to identify, but she does know that the majority of them are good. Those good emotions cause butterflies to flutter in her stomach and her heart to beat faster.
He parts his lips and brushes them against hers. She responds in kind, deepening the kiss a little more. This close, and with their breaths mingling, his scent is even more intoxicating. It makes her head swim and gives her the desire to want more. To take more. But she wonât allow herself. She may have spent the evening getting to know him, but she doesnât know him well enough to slip her tongue inside and explore his flavor, even though she wants to.
Slowly, as if sensing this, he pulls away. His eyes are half-hooded when he says, âGood night, Maria.â
She clears her throat. Oddly a lump had formed there. The lump has nothing to do with sad feelings, but everything to do with the fact that she was just kissed by the hottest guy sheâs ever met, and she kissed him back. And the fact that he didnât demand more like most guys do . . .
âGood night,â she whispers.
She stares at him for a moment longer before turning away, grasping the door handle, and stepping out of the car. She wrings her hands at her sides as she strides to her apartment door, and when she reaches it, she looks back at him.
His eyes are still hooded, heated, as he watches her. She gives him a small smile and a little wave. He inclines his head, his version of a wave she supposes. Without another word or another gesture, she heads inside.
Once the door is closed, she hears his car pull away. Her spine jolts as she slumps against the door, a hand over her still-beating-fast heart.
âJesus, take the wheel,â she whispers because only God knows that she could easily fall for this guy. Heâs kind. Heâs considerate. He likes the way she looks and heâs made that very clear. And heâs attractive. She hadnât missed the way the waitress watched him throughout their time at the restaurant. He was completely oblivious, that much was obvious, and it only served to be pulled into him even more. She was the center of his attention. Sheâs never had that before.
Whatâs she supposed to do with that? With this?
She runs a hand through her hair as a bedroom door closes inside the apartment. She hears Dariusâ footsteps travel into the living room and he strides into the kitchen when she doesnât meet him halfway.
He just stands there while she gathers her emotions back up. When she finally meets his gaze, he studies her face, and she doesnât know what he finds, but he smiles, crosses his arms, and leans a hip against the counter.
