“Yeah.”

“All right then. Bye.” He started to walk away but she grabbed his arm to stop him.

“I mean it. Thanks for hanging out with me this evening. It helped. A lot.”

“Sure. No problem.”

“And, uh, you probably want your shirt back.” She slipped her arms out of the too-long sleeves which she’d rolled up and handed it to him. “You’re not the hard-ass you want people to think you are. You’re actually pretty nice.”

“Gee thanks,” he mocked, jamming his arms into the sleeves. He rolled down the sleeves that ended halfway up his forearms and nodded toward the building. “Better get back to your prom.”

Jen didn’t want the evening to end like this, with him pissed off about whatever it was he was mad about. A surge of pure adrenaline rushed through her and she didn’t stop to think about consequences. She stepped close to Drake, slid her hands around the back of his neck and pulled his face down to hers. She planted a kiss on his lips—no hesitation, no tentativeness, just a solid, uncompromising kiss.

His lips were soft. His arms wound around her, holding her. He drew away and sucked in a quick breath before molding his mouth to hers once more.

Jen had meant to stop at one kiss but she lingered. Drake knew how to kiss. There was a lot more finesse in his technique than in Tom’s. She couldn’t have described what the difference was but she sure felt it. His lips plucked softly at hers before he slipped his tongue lightly between them. He seemed to know instinctively what she wanted, coaxing her response with gentle pressure, igniting the fuse of her desire with sweet licks, making her want another kiss…and then another…and then much more than kissing. She wanted his hands all over her, not just on her back where they rested, but all the places she’d kept mostly private up to now. The wildfire of need blazing through her took her aback. She clung to him, scorched.

But once more they were interrupted by the closing of a door and excited voices.

Someone else was coming out of the building. Jen opened her eyes and saw Drake’s face close up. She pulled away and their mouths parted.

For a moment more they held onto each other, breathing a little hard. Jen’s pulse was racing. She couldn’t think why they’d stopped that wonderful kissing, but then reality set in and dragged her back down to earth. She let go of Drake and stepped back.

He cocked his head and studied her with a slight curve of his lips—almost but not quite a smile. Then he nodded. “Okay.”

“Goodnight.” This time Jen turned away, surprised at how hard it was to do.

She’d almost reached the door when Drake called, “Hey, Adams. You look good in that dress.”

Jen looked down at her pink dress, smoothing her hands over the cool, silky material, and Drake’s compliment shone like light in the dark. Maybe prom night hadn’t been completely horrible after all.

She turned toward him, but he’d already disappeared into the shadows like some creature of the night.
