302 Forbidden Ave (A Cherry Falls Romance #9) - Jenika Snow Page 0,19

was this forbidden fruit I should’ve stayed away from, the young woman who played the piano at the local church.

She looked up at me with big hazel eyes, and these red pouty lips that nearly had all my fucking self-control leaving me.

I should have stayed away. I should. But fuck me… I can’t.

I was damn near a decade older than her, and although I hadn’t been with a woman in years, not physically, and certainly hadn’t been in any kind of relationship, I did wish I would’ve saved myself for Amelia. I wish I could’ve lost my virginity to this woman so she held that part of me forever.

But I’d give her every single part of me and would continue to do so for the rest of my life. She’ll know no one else will have me, just like I’d never allow anyone else to have her. She’s mine.

This woman in my arms was the only thing that mattered.

I wanted her as my wife. I wanted her as my forever.

Of course those were strong, permanent words, ones I didn’t take lightly. They were branded in me, imprinted in my marrow. They were my life. She’s my life.

And as much as I wanted to tell Amelia all those things and more, I wouldn’t. I was afraid it was too soon for her to hear those things. It had only been a couple of weeks since we started dating. It’d scare her off to admit all of that.

I smoothed my hand over the long fall of her dark hair. The locks lightly curled at the ends, brushing against her lower back. This strong part of me wanted to pile her hair up, pull her head back gently so her neck was tilted and she was looking right at me, and then take her mouth in a hard, possessive kiss.

Don’t fucking hold back. Kiss her now. Make her feel it to her toes.

Before I could talk myself out of doing just that, my fingers were tunneling into the silky strands, wrapping them around my fist, and I was pulling the locks up so they were a messy knot at the base of her skull.

I gently—so fucking gently—pulled her head back, exposing her throat, causing her lips to part slightly and her eyes to widen. Her pupils dilated as she stared up at me. Desire licked across her expression so powerfully I tasted it, this sweetness that coated my tongue and made me ravenous.

I groaned and slammed my mouth down on hers, not gently but with all the pent-up passion and need I had for this woman.

She moaned and slid her hands over my waist, her nails digging into me. I felt their sharp little points press through my shirt and into my flesh. I wanted my mark on her flesh as much as I wanted hers on mine.

I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth, forcing myself to pull away even though it was the last thing I wanted to do. She wore this drugged expression on her face, and I knew it was because she was ready for me, her body primed, her desire pouring from her and making me feel drunk.

“We should stop,” I murmured, my eyes on her lips, the need to kiss her again rising in me so damn hard I found myself leaning down to do just that. “If we don’t stop….” I shook my head and breathed out my nose. Get fucking control. Get fucking control, man. “Yeah, we should stop, baby.” I opened my eyes, getting swept away in the beauty of Amelia.

She licked her lips, her eyes still at half-mast, but then she nodded, as if gaining control herself. “Yeah. Probably smart.” She gave me a tight-lipped smile. “The food is getting cold anyway.”

“Shit,” I grumbled and looked over my shoulder.

“What?”

I faced her, gave in to the urge, and gave her a small kiss, but then I turned away to go to the table and dig out the ice cream. “Forgot I bought this. Probably half melted by now.”

She smiled, and this one reached her eyes, her desire taking a backseat to our evening. I wanted her right back on the flames though. Fuck, I wanted that.

“Here, let me put it in the freezer.” She took the pint and walked to the fridge. My eyes were locked on her ass, the jeans she wore molding perfectly to her apple-shaped ass.

My cock jerked even harder, the bastard hard even before I got out of my truck.
