Chapter Nine

The second his lips met hers, Jace found himself lost in a storm that he never wanted to end. Hailey tasted like sugar and citrus. Warm and bright, with just a hint of tart.

Her body bowed against his. All thoughts and worries about Evan, Sun Tech, and the launch flew from his mind. In this moment, all he could think of was Hailey and nothing else.

His hands roamed over her back, along her sides, down her hips—

A woman laughed as she passed by, and he stopped short.

He needed somewhere private. Now. A place where he could give her entire body his undivided attention.

Reluctantly, he pulled his lips away.

“Time to head home?”

Hailey touched her swollen lips and nodded.

Without waiting, he grabbed her hand and headed for the door.

“Jace, our coats,” Hailey said as he marched straight toward the exit.

“We’ll get them tomorrow,” he growled. He wanted this woman now.

Evan could deal with the cocktail party. Jace’s plans for tonight involved only himself and Hailey.

They stepped outside into the night air. The cool breeze did nothing to quell his desire. He could smell the hint of rain in the air, and the clouds blocked the moon.

Minutes later, they were in his car on their way to his very tall, very empty building. Which meant Hailey could be as loud as she wanted without any concern about neighbors.

The trip home was silent and tense. He wanted to pull her close, to taste the sweetness of her lips once again, to feel her body against his hands.

Hailey fidgeted with her dress.

“Are you okay?” Jace parked and they got out.

“Nervous,” she said with a shy smile.

“Are you having second thoughts?”

“I don’t want to rush anything. The last person I slept with was that man I thought I’d marry,” she said.

The elevator carried them up to the top floor, and seconds later, they were back in his condo. The foyer lights turned on, and he flicked them off.

The click of her high heels followed him into the living room. The room was so dark it was hard to make anything out. A light patter of rain fell against the bay windows.

“I won’t make you do anything you don’t want to.” He pulled her close and ran a finger along her jaw. Every damn inch of him, from his impossibly rigid cock to his fingers wanted her. He wanted to know if her neck, her belly, her breasts tasted as erotic as her lips.

He dropped his hands to his sides. “You do what’s best for you. If you want to hide in your bedroom, go ahead. If you want a guitar lesson, you know where to find me.”

Hailey trained those big, dark, tempting eyes on him. “Sex is off the table?”

“If you want it to be.” He didn’t it want it to be, but he wanted to scare her off even less. He liked her too much to want to chase her off. If he had to take her as a friend and not a lover, he’d do it.
