Chapter 16

Cole and Millie stumbled out of the club, still laughing at something the last comedian had said. Cole had some reservations about his choice of date, especially as some of the comics could be downright lewd—and they had been—but he needn’t have worried. Millie had laughed so hard, tears had poured down her face. And hell, if he couldn’t listen to her laugh for years and still crave more.

“How about a quick drink before we head back?” Cole asked.

Millie wavered. She put her hand on his shoulder to help with her balance. “I think I may have had enough. My head is starting to spin.”

“Doesn’t have to be alcoholic,” Cole said, slipping an arm around her waist. “I know it’s late, but I don’t want tonight to end.”

She squinted up at him, then rested her head on his shoulder. His heart jolted, and his belly flipped.

“Neither do I,” she said.

They crossed the street and entered a packed bar that had a live band playing. He held her hand tightly as he made his way over to the bar and ordered a couple of sodas.

He managed to find some space toward the back, the farthest point from where the band were rocking it out on a small, raised platform. Millie leaned against the wall and swayed back and forth. He wasn’t sure whether her movement was in reaction to the music or the wine. It didn’t matter, though. Watching Millie with her eyes closed and a look of pure contentment on her face, he couldn’t stop smiling.

She opened her eyes lazily, gazing at him beneath hooded lids. Reaching out, she took the drinks out of his hands and put them on a nearby table where a couple were sitting, too engrossed in the band to notice or care.

She hooked a finger into the waistband of his jeans. “Dance with me?”

She didn’t need to ask twice. Excitement raced through him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. She reciprocated by curling her hands up around his neck, her fingertips lightly teasing his hair. She glanced up at him, her mocha eyes shining, even in the dim lighting, and began to circle her hips.

Oh, sweet Jesus. Every shimmy brought the lower halves of their bodies into contact with each other—and he reacted the same way as any other red-blooded male would when faced with a seriously hot woman rubbing against their body. Blood rushed to his groin, and he groaned. Not that she’d be able to hear him over the beat of the music, but she could definitely feel him if he correctly read the flare in her eyes.

She pressed herself even closer, so close that nothing could fit into the space between them. Then she stood on tiptoes, eased his head down toward hers, and kissed him. Not a testing-the-waters kind of kiss, but a full-on, open-mouthed affair that had his head spinning.

He took control, moving her until her back was flat to the wall. He ground his hips into hers.
