NINE

Grant reached for Jasmine and scooped her up. She felt slightly ridiculous, with him carrying her everywhere, but as his mouth met hers again she lost herself in the velvet warmth of his kiss.

‘Which way?’ He murmured his question against her lips.

She motioned to the bedroom, her response muffled against him. He nudged the door open with his foot, carrying her through before setting her gently down in front of him. She balanced on one foot and encircled his neck with her arms, dragging him down for another searing kiss.

A snake-like sensation twisted and turned in her gut. It had been so long since she’d had sex—not since breaking up with Kyle, though his frequent infidelities had meant their sex life had died a while before that fateful night.

What if she’d forgotten how to seduce? How to pleasure? How to enjoy her body?

She ignored the fluttering of her heart and the prickling of her palms. She needed this—she needed to be loved in a physical sense. She’d been deprived for so long and there would be no fighting it.

Leaning down to plant a soft kiss on his mouth, she sucked in a breath. Her tongue brushed over his lower lip in a sweet, tentative stroke, eliciting a groan. She had him right where she wanted him, so hungry with desire he was unlikely to notice or care about her leg.

He grasped the hem of her sweater and pulled it up slowly. Her T-shirt followed and then she was wearing only her jeans and the lacy blush-pink bra she’d thought nothing of wearing that morning. It looked sensual against her skin; she’d always had a thing for beautiful lingerie and her drawers were filled with a rainbow of lacy, frilly French things. It seemed he too enjoyed them—his eyes drank her in as though she were the proverbial glass of water on a hot summer’s day.

‘I don’t expect anything out of this.’ Her voice shook as he traced the scalloped edge of the bra with his fingertip.

‘Me neither.’

‘I mean, I’m not looking for anything permanent right now.’

He dragged his gaze away from her breasts, the endless depths of his sky-blue eyes drawing her in and yet telling her nothing. His face was unreadable except for the arousal that widened his pupils, simmering below the surface.

‘Nor am I.’

‘One night only,’ she whispered, knowing full well that words alone couldn’t protect her. She was in too deep and her heart was desperately trying to maintain the distance that her body was unable to. But the words were hollow. Meaningless. He was under her skin and one night would never be enough.

‘No one gets hurt.’ He brushed the edge of her jaw with his hand, tilting her face.

‘No one gets hurt,’ she echoed.

Grant’s hands dropped to her waist, undoing the zip on her jeans, and then he was bending down, dragging the denim with him as he went. Her French knickers in baby-blue cotton were trimmed with the same blush-pink lace as her bra.
