CHAPTER NINE

“We should wait on the corner for Elijah,” Tyler said. “We don’t know what he looks like but we know who he’s coming to pick up. This way no one will get suspicious if he walks right past us.”

Jessica agreed as she followed him. He stopped and turned toward her, shielding her from the street.

“Are you doing okay?” he asked, and then brushed the tips of his fingers against her cheek in a move that sent sensual shivers skittering across her skin.

Her back was against the telephone pole at N. Seventh Street and Spanish Town Road, directly across the street from where they’d eaten. Cars twined down the skinny road.

Jessica nodded as she studied the activity. “This guy walked by a few minutes ago.”

“Which one?” Tyler’s gaze swept the sidewalk casually.

“This guy in the white pants, white hat.” She intentionally looked in the opposite direction.

“He seems to be interested in us,” he said, and he couldn’t ignore the possibility that the police or others—men with guns—wanted to find the same person they were looking for.

The next thing Jessica knew, Tyler’s hand had cupped her neck. He mouthed the words, Trust me. And then he dipped his head, hesitated, slicked his tongue across his lips and kissed her.

Her body instantly reacted. She reached for him, wrapping her arms around his neck and parting her mouth enough for his tongue to slide inside.

She thought she heard a groan from deep in his throat as his arm came around her waist and his free hand splayed against her back.

Deepening the kiss, he hugged her—her body immediately molding to his. Her breasts swelled and ached for his touch. Her body reminded her just how long it had been since she’d had good sex…and it had been far too long. She instinctively sensed that sex with Tyler would shatter her in the best possible way.

His body pressed hers against the telephone pole and she imagined how he would feel on top of her, pressing her into a mattress. She could feel his rapid heartbeat through their clothes.

He pulled back first and rested his forehead on hers. From across the street someone shouted, “Get a room!”

The comment made both of them laugh, his was that low rumble from deep in his throat and it was so darn sexy. He started to say something, then stopped, and she half feared that he was about to offer an apology. That was the best kiss she’d had in…in her whole life, and a part of her wanted to celebrate it, not feel awkward that it had happened.

“Damn,” he said and his voice was low.

“I was just thinking the same thing,” she said with a slow smile. His hand stayed steady against her back and she was grateful because he was the only thing holding her upright at this point. Her bones felt like Jell-O. She’d heard that a kiss could make a person go weak at the knees but this was the first time she’d experienced anything close.
