Hudson (Anderson Billionaires #4) - Melody Anne Page 0,91

no longer say he was falling for this woman; he’d already fallen and he had no desire to pick himself up again.

“Now you have to remember to bring the cup when we go places so we can drive for hours and still have a refreshing drink,” he said.

“You’re giving me the cup?” she asked, seeming pleased. She stopped when they reached the back of the school with no one around. He didn’t mind that one little bit.

“Usually when a gift is given to you, you keep it,” he told her. And then he couldn’t wait any longer. He pulled her against him, and before she could say a word, he kissed her good morning. He’d wanted to do that since he’d woken with the taste of her still on his lips. Several seconds later he released her. They were both panting when she took a step back.

“I had to leave . . . I had this event,” she said, her voice husky as she tried to give him an explanation.

“You were scared, and that’s okay. It’ll get easier each time we’re together,” he assured her.

“We’re going to be together again?” she asked, almost as if she was asking permission.

He pulled her into his arms again, making sure she was looking into his eyes before he spoke. “Daisy, I don’t think we’re going to be apart anymore, not when we’re this good together.”

“I don’t know, Hudson. This all seems to be moving a little too fast, and there are so many fundamental differences between us. Maybe we should call this good and go our separate ways.” She looked miserable as she said that. He smiled, then kissed her one more time before he let her go and stepped back, not trusting himself not to grab her again.

“Daisy, there’s no way we’re going our separate ways. We’re too drawn to each other. I’m going to install an alarm on my place so you can’t sneak out again because I want to know what it’s like to kiss you the moment I wake up . . . and trust me, we are going to be together again.” He paused. “Tonight, as a matter of fact.”

“I don’t want to say no,” she told him. Then she clutched her cup in both hands as if it was difficult to keep her hands off of him. She craved their touch as much as he did.

“Good. Because you’re mine now,” he said and he loved it when fire sparked in her eyes. He chuckled. “Don’t worry, I’m just as much yours,” he added. That washed the fire right out. “We’re together because we want to be — both of us want to be.” He reached into his pocket and pulled out a silky piece of red fabric, and her cheeks flamed.

“What in the world are you doing?” she gasped as she looked behind and to the sides of her. When she was confident no one was spying on them, she stepped forward and reached for the panties he’d found tangled up in his sheets.

“Nope,” he said as he stepped back before stuffing them into his pocket.

She was on a mission and reached into his pocket, instantly making him hard. He snaked his arms around her back and pulled her against him, their faces only inches apart.

“Baby, if you keep reaching into my pocket like that, you’re going to get both of us arrested for indecent exposure,” he warned before pressing his hips against hers, showing her exactly how turned on he was.

She gasped as her eyes glazed over, and it was nearly his undoing. He leaned down and kissed her hard, his tongue sweeping inside her mouth as his hands squeezed her luscious behind. Before he lost all control he released her, making sure she was steady before he stepped back.

“I have a job to run to, but I’ll pick you up at four. Bring an overnight bag,” he told her as he backed away.

“What if I have plans?” she asked, following him.

“Then change them. I want to know what it’s like to wake up next to you.”

She looked indecisive for a moment, and then she smiled, really smiled, the kind of smile that lit her entire face, giving it a glow that had his heart skipping a few beats.

“Okay,” she said, seeming both unsure and excited at the same time.

He was officially late, and he didn’t care. He stopped retreating and kissed her one more time before he took her hand and walked back to the
