Ella bit on her lip until she heard the bathroom door close behind her. When she heard the click of the lock, she smiled. She’d been surprised when she came out and found Striker sitting on his bed. The idea of running back and grabbing a dry towel skipped into her head and right out. She’d worn a bikini that covered less around him. But that wasn’t the only reason she kept right on talking without trying to cover up. No, she stood there because of Striker. He’d taken his time raking his eyes across her body, his discomfort and frustration written on his face. He wanted her.

She knew it was mean and something she shouldn’t have done, but she’d wanted to see how he’d react. Would he try to convince her having sex was a good idea? If he did, would he get angry if she refused? Or would he respect her desire to be in control?

He’d reacted by removing himself as quickly as possible without even a kiss. Another part of the barrier she’d built around her heart slipped. Maybe their relationship did have a chance. Cat and Kelsey both seemed to think so. Perhaps they were wiser than she.

The water in the bathroom turned off, kicking Ella into gear. Before Striker came out, she should slip on her dress.

She’d bought the teal keyhole-neck sleeveless sheath dress in February. With Striker away for work, she’d called Cat and they’d hit the Natick Collection. They’d spent most of the day there shopping, and they’d both bought way more than they needed. If she hadn’t found the gown she’d worn to Jessie’s wedding in Paris, she would’ve worn this one to her friend’s wedding. Maybe she’d wear it to Sean’s wedding next weekend. Cutting off the tags, she stepped into the dress and zipped it up.

Striker entered the room, a plume of steam behind him. “Good, you’re dressed.”

She heard the relief in his voice, and both guilt and humor washed over her. I really shouldn’t have done that to him. “I need maybe another fifteen minutes for my hair and makeup.”

“You look fantastic to me.”

He stopped inches away from her, the heat from his naked torso crossing through her dress and scorching her breasts. Her nipples hardened and pressed against her bra. As if controlled by a puppeteer, she reached out and touched his chest. The hard muscles tensed under her hand. “Thank you.” She leaned closer, her attention locked on his lips.

Perhaps sensing her intent, he slipped both hands under her hair and cradled her head. “For what?”

“This weekend. You were right. I love it.” Before he responded, she set her lips against his. Gently she coaxed his lips apart before slipping her tongue inside.

She kissed him for as long as she dared. Not because she feared what he might do, but what she might do. Already her nipples begged for his tongue, and she ached between her legs. If she kissed him any longer, she’d undo the button on his pants and slide down the zipper.
