Page 32 of Adam’s Obsession

Once the dinner plates had been cleared and the dessert wineand cheese had been served, Adam sat back and smiled at her. Katherine smiledback, relaxed, replete and reveling in the moment. Reveling in him.

“I’ve really enjoyed today.” To her surprise, he covered herhand with his. It was warm. And large. She fixated on the sight of his flesh onhers.

She dipped her head. “Me too.” She melted a little as histhumb skimmed across her wrist in what could almost be mistaken as a caress.

“You were great at the conference. A lot of the reps werewavering but once you got a hold of them, they just tumbled. You’re amazing.”

“Thanks. But it was your presentation that tipped thescales.”

He shrugged. “Who put the presentation together? It was youand Sara.”

She glanced at his hand, still holding hers. What he saidwas true but it was hard to take the credit for a team effort. “We were bothhappy to help.”

How surreal, to be sitting at this romantic table with Adam,in an alcove with dimmed lighting and soft music wafting around them.

And then he said something that made her heart lurch.

“Would you like to dance?” The words sent a shaft ofsizzling sensation racing to her pussy. As his eyes made contact with hers,warmth swelled. A trickle oozed between her thighs.

One thought radiated through her head in Savage’s dark,seductive tones. He wants to fuck you.

She wasn’t one to take things said on the internet forgranted. She wasn’t about to assume Adam Trillo wanted her just because heasked her to dance. She certainly wasn’t going to throw herself at him allwilly-nilly just because he said those five words to her. But she couldn’tstifle her hope.

“Yes.” She dropped her linen napkin onto the table besideher plate. “I would.”

Adam led her into the knot of couples dancing on the floor.With a start, she realized they were playing a slow, dreamy love song, one ofher favorites. Unchained Melody.

She didn’t meet his eyes as he pulled her into his arms. Hetook her hand in his and she placed the other awkwardly against his chest. Hepulled her closer. Her nose nestled in his neck. With every breath, she drew inhis spicy sent. His heat radiated through her dress. She could feel the dullthud of his heart against her palm. And inside her head, a voice murmured, Accidentallystumble. Fall against him. See if he has a hard-on.

She trembled.

The music played on, dragging her deeper into a seductivetrance. He felt so good against her and smelled divine. She was caught in afragile net of arousal and she didn’t ever want to escape. It was magical.

As they danced, his warm palm slid along the length of herdress from her shoulders down her back, to settle on her hips. Leisurely, hisfingers splayed, tested. His breathing became heavy, hot and damp against hercheek. His hand slipped lower and gently, tentatively, flexed.

Wait. Was he cupping her ass?

The sensation was there for a heartbeat, a breath, and thenit was gone. Katherine pulled back and peeped up at his face. His expressionstunned her. Pure, ravenous hunger.

Her heart lurched and she stumbled. She tripped on her owntwo feet in those ridiculous heels and fell against him. She hadn’t planned it.At least, she didn’t think she had. But she stumbled and fell forward. Herpelvis pressed against his. And… Oh dear God.

He was hard.

And large.

He throbbed against her.

Their eyes met and his nostrils flared. He flicked a glanceat her lips and licked his own. His arms tightened, pulling her closer, rubbingher against him. And she was a willing participant. It felt so good.

Her knees failed her and to catch her balance, she leveredherself away. As their bodies separated, the sudden lack of warmth was a shockto her system. She yearned to step in, step closer once more, but lacked thecourage.

Their gazes continued to tangle though. It seemed to herthat a message passed between them. She thought he was going to kiss her, thathis head was going to drop down and he would place his mouth upon hers and…

But he didn’t kiss her. He merely blinked several times andstepped away.

It took her a moment to realize the music had ended and theystood alone on the dance floor.

He led her back to the table, wrapped in an awkward silence.She took her seat with a dull thump. Humiliation burned her cheeks. She’dthrown herself at him. Literally. She’d plastered her body against his.Practically mooned over him with a passion that was obvious. He’d had thechance to kiss her. He’d had the chance to take her. And he’d backed away.
