CHAPTER EIGHT

April couldn’t have said who moved first.

It was like laying a match to dry tinder, and they both caught flame at the same moment. In an instant, their mouths met. Fused.

This kiss was nothing like the one she’d given him over dinner, when she’d seized her courage and tasted a few moments of pleasure. This time, he licked into her mouth, igniting a raw passion that stole her breath. It was everything she wanted. Everything she needed for this night.

She slid her hands up his arms, steadying herself on his shoulders as she swayed into him. His powerful body anchored her when the pleasure of the kiss threatened to pull her under. Consume her. She held on to him, knowing he wouldn’t let go even though he seemed as lost in this moment as she was.

She felt his hands stroking through her hair, down her spine, splaying over the arch of her back. All of those touches brought her closer, sealing her body to his, making her ache for still more of him. Just one kiss, and she was melting inside her clothes, desperate to be free of them.

So when he eased back, she didn’t even comprehend what was happening. Her grip tightened on his shoulders for a moment, fingers clenching the fabric of his white button-down.

“I don’t want to rush things—”

“You’re not.” She realized that she hadn’t even let him get a full sentence out. Biting her lip, she forced her fingers to relax their grip, to ease away an inch. “That is, I don’t feel rushed.”

He arched an eyebrow, his hazel gaze sweeping over her before he lowered his voice. “Is this happening then?”

The growl in his tone made her toes curl inside her boots. She could have purred with pleasure at the thought of being with him.

“From my point of view,” she said, wanting to spell it out as clearly as she knew how, needing to make sure they understood each other, “it can’t happen soon enough.”

“That sounds like a challenge.” He contemplated her for the space of a heavy heartbeat. And then another.

Was he waiting for her to contradict him? She had no intention of doing any such thing.

Then, before she knew what he was about, his hands slid around her hips, lifting her against him. He spun her in his arms, backing her against the door they’d just entered. A barrier had tumbled between them, and not just a physical one. She had a glimpse of the more reckless heart beneath his tightly controlled actions, and it thrilled her as much as the heated press of his body.

His tongue plunged into her mouth, and she wrapped her legs around his hips. At the press of his erection, she wriggled closer still. His hand cradled her face, steadying her for his kiss, angling her chin where he wanted her.

And oh, his mouth. The things he did with it elicited sensations everywhere. A shiver tripped up her spine.

She squeezed her thighs tighter, locking her heels with a moan that made his hips buck against her.
