CHAPTER TWELVE

Okay, yes. He would hand it to Sabrina that this situation was a little…odd. Not their usual mode of operation and possibly a bad idea for the reason she’d placed at the top of both lists: they were best friends.

But there was something to say for the impulsiveness of the Valentine’s Day kiss on the pier. And there was even more to say about the kiss in his kitchen that was as premeditated as they came.

“You’re worrying about…this ruining our friendship?”

A strangled sound left her throat like she couldn’t believe he’d asked that question. “Aren’t you?”

“I’m not worried about anything. I was told to take a hiatus for the specific reason of not worrying about anything. Isn’t that right?”

Her posture relaxed some, her legs moving slightly under the blanket. Her bare legs. Her long, smooth, bare legs.

He wanted to touch her, and not in a soothing way. Not in a consoling way.

He wanted to touch her in a sexual, turn-her-on, see-what-sounds-she-makes-when-she’s-coming way. If she decided she’d have him, he’d take her upstairs before she could say the words plus or minus.

“What do you suggest we do, Flynn? Sit here and make out?”

“That’s a good start.”

Her delicate throat moved when she swallowed, her eyes flaring with desire.

Yeah, she wanted him, too. It was time she stopped denying it. He set his ice cream bowl aside and carefully took her hot tea from her hands.

“I wasn’t done with that.”

“You’re done with that.”

When he reached for the blanket, her hand stopped him. They were frozen in that stance, his hand on her blanket-covered thigh, her hand on his hand and their eyes locked in a battle that wasn’t going to end with them going to separate bedrooms if he had anything to say about it.

“Do you want this?” He watched her weigh the options, jerking her gaze away from his and opening her mouth ineffectually before closing it again. “It’s a simple question, Sabrina. Do you want this?”

“Yes—”

He didn’t let her finish that sentence—finishing it for her by sealing his lips on hers in a deep, driving kiss as he tore the blanket from her lap. She caught his face with her palms, but leaned into him, opening her soft mouth and giving him a taste of what he hadn’t gotten enough of earlier this evening.

He ran his hand over her knee to her outer thigh and then to her panties. They weren’t the thong he’d expected, but he couldn’t care less. She wasn’t going to be wearing them long.

After gliding her fingertips over his jaw and his neck, she rerouted and grazed the light patch of chest hair over one nipple. He groaned into her mouth. She responded with a kittenish mewl before digging her blunt fingernails into his rib cage in an effort to draw him closer.

It was the encouragement he needed.

Shifting his weight so he wasn’t crushing her, he flattened a palm on her back and pulled her to him. She came willingly, both hands on his abs as he switched their positions and reclined on his back.
