Drake knew he could have put a stop to things right then and there but for once in his life he couldnât access his willpower. He wanted Aerin as he had wanted no other woman. He had weighed up the pros and cons of engaging in a weekend fling with her, he had carefully measured the risks and done his checks and balances. The rational part of his brain told him to keep his distance but another part of his brainâor maybe it wasnât his brain at all but his body aloneâtold him to have this secret weekend with her. To have what he had wanted from the moment he saw her across the street from his office. Their first kiss had only reinforced the want, the driving need, the urge he couldnât dampen down no matter how much he tried.
But was he worrying too much? Aerin was looking for the fairy tale, the perfect partner and he was certainly not that. She had already ruled him out with her eight-point checklist. She wouldnât allow herself to fall in love with anyone less than perfect, so why shouldnât he indulge her wish for a fling?
Drake laid her on his rumpled bed and stood above her for a long moment, hungrily taking in the slim curves of her body. She was so lithe and lissom, her skin a pale cream without a single blemish. Her golden blonde hair was tousled around her shoulders and he couldnât wait to bury his head in it and breathe in its flowery scent.
A worried look came into Aerinâs eyes. âAre you having second thoughts?â
He kneeled one knee on the bed beside her and leaned forward to cage her in with his arms. âAre you?â
âNo.â She lifted her hand to his nearest shoulder and stroked her fingers down the length of his arm in a touch as light as fairy footsteps. âI want you.â
âYou know this is madness, donât you? Us doing this.â
Her other hand trailed down his other arm, sending shivers up and down his spine. Her gaze was luminous at it met his, shining with the same need he knew shone in his. âIt would be madness if we both didnât agree on the terms.â
Drake planted a kiss on her lips, a long passionate kiss that sent his blood pounding all the more. He was hard and aching to possess her but he knew he would have to slow down and take things gently with her. She had cast some sort of spell over him, a magical spell that made it impossible for him to walk away and leave her well alone.
He straightened from the bed to step out of his boxer shorts. âI have to get a condom.â
âDo you have any with you?â
âI always carry some in my wallet.â
She chewed at her lower lip for a moment, her eyes downcast. âOf course...â
Drake picked up his wallet from where he had left it on the bedside table. But then he snapped its folds back together.
