Chapter Ten

But one kiss, Eve found, was impossible to give, never mind receive. The moment her lips fused with Derek’s all common sense vanished. She arched against him, until there was only the press of hard flesh and the fierce erotic pleasure of his mouth over hers, and a kiss that seemed to go on and on and on. A kiss that was everything she had ever dreamed of...

It was the perfect Christmas gift.

But to her disappointment, it came abruptly to an end. Tensing, Derek lifted his head. He stroked his thumb across her lower lip, his eyes dark with desire. Their gazes locked, both of them breathing hard. “If you want me to leave,” he warned softly, “now’s the time.”

She loved the brusque humor in his low tone, as much as she loved the way he looked at that moment. A little rough around the edges, and a lot aroused. “There’s only one problem with that,” she whispered back, lifting her hands in helpless surrender. “I don’t.”

One corner of his mouth crooked up. He reached for her again, dragging her against him. “Exactly what I was hoping you’d say...”

The next thing Eve knew, he had backed her against the wall. Which was good, because she was feeling a little wobbly, and the solid surface behind her helped keep her upright. Not that the hard cradle of his muscular physique wasn’t doing the same. He was trapping her nicely with his big, gorgeous body and stubborn Texas resolve. He tasted innately male, like chocolate and sugar, and an essence that was unique to him. Loving every inch of him, of this, Eve pressed against him a little more. He was just as aroused, his skin burning with fiery intensity through his sweater and jeans, as he continued to kiss her, long and wet and deep.

Eventually, he lifted his head. “Here or the bed?”

Another easy decision. “Here.”

He grinned and reached for her again, his blue eyes gleaming with desire and something else as well. He pushed her hair out of the way and then his lips were on the nape of her neck. “Can do.”

He made her feel hot, so hot.

She held on to his shoulders with both hands as he nuzzled the sensitive place beneath her ear. His hands were moving lower, undoing the fastening of her jeans, then the zipper. The feel of his fingertips brushing against her skin made her quiver. Knees weakening all the more, she managed to gasp, “Or the bed.”

He stopped what he was doing long enough to take in the sight of her. “You keep talking about Christmas presents. I think you’re mine.” He eased a hand past the elastic of her panties, going lower, lightly brushing back and forth. This time her knees nearly buckled, and he hadn’t even found her yet.

She gasped again, still looking into his eyes. “Then that makes you mine.”

His smile slow and hot, he slid a muscled thigh between her legs. “Just so you know...we’re not rushing through this time.
