Chapter Twelve

The cool water felt good on her hot skin. Was she doing the right thing? She’d waited a long time for the right guy without even realizing it. Nick was Mr. Right for her. Daisy knew that, for him, she was Ms. Right Now, but at the moment, that seemed good enough. She wanted him and she knew, in the very depths of her heart, she would never forgive herself if she gave up this chance to have him. No matter how much it would hurt later.

And it would hurt a lot. Nick Bowman wasn’t marriage material—not for Daisy Budd. But a one-night stand? Why not? Everybody did it. Some people, like Debbie Popple, did it frequently.

She leaned against the tile of the shower stall and closed her eyes so she didn’t see him come in and, for once, she didn’t smell him, either. When he pulled back the curtain and stepped into her space, her heart exploded.

Nick rested his palms against the wall on either side of her. She was surrounded by his impossible masculinity. His eyes framed by black, wet lashes were very gray and focused. She couldn’t get any air in her lungs as she watched his lips lower to hers and then it didn’t matter because she was breathing him.

After a few seconds she broke the kiss.

“Daisy?”

“Oxygen,” she squeaked. “I need oxygen.”

His slow, sensuous smile melted what was left of her insides. He cupped the back of her head and she felt the strength of his fingers in her hair.

“Trust me. I can provide everything you need.”

He took her mouth again and she circled his waist with her arms and slid her palms up the firm, well-defined muscles of his back. Without much experience she didn’t know what she was supposed to do but she knew she wanted to get as close to him as possible. She wanted to feel every inch of him. Her fingers glanced over a few ridged scars and, in one spot a patch of too-smooth skin. A burn. From a car accident? Her heart stuttered but there was no time to focus on pain from the past.

There was too much pleasure in the present.

She was sandwiched between the tiles at her back and his hard chest. He ground himself against her and she gasped at the hot breath on her neck and the rough sounds in her ear. She slid a hand down his flat abdomen and found the incontrovertible proof of his desire.

“God,” they breathed, simultaneously.

“Jinx,” she whispered, automatically. He clearly didn’t want to play.

“Baby, your hand feels so good.” He kissed her hard and deep. After a moment he lifted his head then licked the shower water off the hollow at the base of her neck and the top of one breast. She gasped.

His wicked tongue moved lower until he finally closed his lips around one hard-tipped nipple. At the same time he used his thumb and forefinger to caress the other breast. The sensation triggered explosions of desire through her entire body.
