Gorgeous: Book One (Gorgeous #1) - Lisa Shelby Page 0,45
on her toes and places a small kiss to my lips. "You're a pretty smart guy." This time her tongue traces the outline of my upper lip. "I'm sure you'll think of something. At least I hope you do."
Where did this side of her come from?
"You sure are a sassy thing, aren't you?"
She just smiles and looks up at me through her lashes...silently sassing me.
"Gorgeous, keep it up and you'll find out exactly what I've been dreaming about doing to you for weeks now."
"Promise?"
I hold out my pinky finger, and when she links hers with mine I say, "Promise. Now, get inside before you get the chance to sass me again, and I show you right here on this car just exactly what I've been dreaming of."
She opens her mouth to sass me back, I'm sure of it, so I cover her mouth with my hand, not giving her the chance. A promise is a promise, and if I have to show her right here, in public, we will both be spending time in the back seat of a police car when they take us in for indecent exposure. I can think of a hundred ways I’d prefer to spend the rest of the evening.
I break every speed limit there is to break on the way to the hotel. I throw my keys at the valet but tell them to leave it running and that I'll be right back. When we get into the elevator, I am forever grateful that we aren't alone. I might have taken her right here, and I wouldn't have made it back to Eclipse before having her. I don't know why, but all I want is to be back at my favorite place. My safe place. With her.
Nothing else matters right now.

I don't know what's come over me or where this sultry sassy vixen inside of me has come from, but I can't help myself around him. Ronan has turned me into a wanton woman, and we haven't done anything more than kiss, but God do I want more.
I could tell at the hotel he was making a point of not coming too close as I packed up my things. He never took his eyes off me, so I made sure to take my time as I folded my bras and panties. If only I had lingerie, but who could have planned for this? Actually, I'm not sure he would have been able to stay in the room if I had anything more to tempt him with. He couldn't get me out of there fast enough.
As we walk up the stairs to his apartment at Eclipse, I can't help but giggle when I think back to the hotel room when I was doing one last walk through, and he grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door and said he would replace whatever I forgot but that we couldn't stay in the room another second. I think the bed was too much temptation for him.
He still seemed strung a little tightly on the short drive here, but as soon as he walks through the door and closes it behind us, he looks like all is right in his world.
He throws his keys on the table and takes me in his arms and kisses me again and again. The passion I have felt when we simply kiss is already more than the passion I felt if I were to add up every intimate moment I spent with Bryce. I already feel for Ronan, everything I should have felt the past three years but never did.
I don't want to wait any longer, so I don't.
I tug on his hand and pull him toward his bedroom where I see the bed is made.
"How?"
"I have a service come in from time to time. Fresh sheets was the least I could do for you."
"Oh."
I know it's only maid service, but is there anything this man doesn't have at his fingertips? Sometimes I forget just how wealthy and powerful he is. He could also have any woman at his fingertips, and he wants me. He knows my past and where I come from, and he still wants little old me. Ronan McKinley wants me, Olivia Adams.
"Hey, did I lose you?"
"Nope, I'm right here."
"That's what I want to hear."
"Ronan?"
"Yes, gorgeous?"
"Make love to me."
He stills.
"Olivia, are you sure? I really meant what I said. As long as I fall asleep with you in my arms tonight, that's enough for me."
