Whoa!A good girl with a dirty, dirty mouth.
The kiss set fire to every part of his body, kindling a blaze in his blood as they stood on a packed dance floor, surrounded by jostling bodies, in their own world, their mouths fused.Supercharged blood raced to his pants, making his cock lengthen and swell against his fly.He held fast to a shred of control and kept his hands in the PG zone, even though his fingers itched to explore every dip and valley of her luscious body.
Lexi gently rocked her pelvis against his shaft—a slight motion no one could see but with enough friction to remind him it had been too damn long.He answered that sweet siren’s call with a few restrained thrusts of his own as the music, the lights, and whoever-the-fuck they were trying to make jealous withdrew to the edges of his consciousness.
A little voice in his head piped up—neither devil nor angel this time—warning him to keep his body in check so he didn’t lose his load right then and there.Damn!In an effort to dampen his rampaging lust, he tried to conjure stats from his last three seasons, but his needy dick demanded more, and if they hadn’t been surrounded by dozens of people, he might have taken Lexi right there on the floor … a nearby table … the stage … the warm sand.
Lexi.Naked.In the sand.
Oh hell yeah!
Fortunately for them both, she still possessedhersanity, and she broke the kiss abruptly and pulled back, her breaths coming fast and furious.His betraying eyes dropped to the exposed swell of her creamy breasts, and he wrestled back an overpowering urge to lick between them, to yank the fabric out of his way and feast.
“Josh?”Concern was clear in her tone and her expression.
God, he probably looked unhinged, feral.He certainlyfeltferal.
“Yeah,” he panted.“Um, I think we shook him up.We should go.”He didn’t bother to look in Neil’s direction, and he held Lexi’s chin so she couldn’t look either.
He managed to uncouple his body from hers, and though his brain cells had melted during that … that … whatever it was—because it wasn’t merely a kiss—he had enough sense left to pull her from the dance floor, back to the tree where he’d tossed their shoes.
Yay!Look at my brain coming back on board.
He turned to hand over her sandals.She stood gawking at him, hands on her hips.“What was that?”she demanded.
“A mistake.I’m sorry.I went too far.”He thrust the shoes at her, but she ignored him, so he let them dangle from his fingers by their slender straps.With his free hand, he smoothed the back of his head where her fingertips had dug into his scalp only moments ago.Leftover chills continued sparking in his veins.
“Why did you—”
He didn’t want to hear the outrage he deserved in her tone, so he ran over her.“I thought you wanted to make Neil jealous, and I figured that was a good way to do it.”Like the dumbass that I am.
“So that was an act?”
“Yes.”No.
Her chestnut brows cinched together.Anger—or hurt, he wasn’t sure—flared in her green depths, and he wished he could reel the word back because it was a lie.Yet as the effect she’d had on him continued to ebb, he decided her thinking it was one big fake was for the best.
Right?
The feel of her lips on his had rocked his world like no other kiss before it, but he couldn’t let her know that because … he had no idea why.His brain had yet to fire on all cylinders since every drop of blood in his body was currently in his dick, making it throb painfully behind his zipper.
She crossed her arms over her chest in a protective gesture that gutted him.“A … a mercy kiss then?”
“Yes.”
“That’s really what you were going for?”
“Yes.”Seriously, was this the only word in his vocabulary right now?It was the wrong one.
“Who does that?”She threw out her arm and whacked her hand against the tree trunk.“Ow!”
He made a move to take her hand in his and make sure she hadn’t hurt herself, but she waved him off with a growl.“Don’t.”
He held up his hand in surrender.“Sorry.I’m sorry about … all of this.”He was damn sorry he couldn’t haul her back to his room right now and find out what made her moan.
Holding her hand to her middle, she winced.
He held out his palm.“Let me take a look—”
