Belatedly I felt the evidence of his determination against my behind and my heart started racing.
Since I knew that such a thing as sex existed, I wanted to do it with Lee.
Now, faced with the imminent act, I was terrified.
“I have a hangover,” I tried.
Lee’s lips were at my neck, either he didn’t hear me or he didn’t believe me and thought my lie unworthy of a response.
He pressed his h*ps into my ass as his hand slid up my belly and I felt tingles shoot down my legs.
Holy, holy, shit, shit, shit.
I sank my teeth into my lip to stop from groaning as pure electricity raced from everywhere in my body, with pinpoint accuracy, straight between my legs.
I tried again.
“I have a headache.”
His hand went up my shirt and stopped just under my breast, his knuckles brushing along the swell of the underside.
“Probably tension, don’t worry, I know how to ease tension.”
I bet he did.
I gave it one last shot.
“My face hurts.”
I felt his tongue right behind my ear before he said, “I can take your mind off that.”
“Lee –”
His hand splayed on my midriff and his weight and thigh went away. He pushed me on my back and leaned over me.
“Give me one good reason not to do this,” he demanded, looking me straight in the eye.
His hair was sexy wild again. His face was both soft and hard. Soft with whatever-it-was I’d seen the last couple of days whenever he looked at me, hard with determination and desire.
In the face of that, without my morning coffee, I had difficulty answering.
“That’s what I thought.” His head started to come down when the phone rang.
“Are you gonna answer that?” I asked against his lips, his arms were going around me, pulling me to him.
“Fuck no.”
He kissed me and I melted into him, immediately, happily, the fight simply just went out of me. He was that fine of a kisser.
So be it, I was finally going to make love with Liam Nightingale.
My whole body rejoiced.
He fell to his back and pulled me over him, his arms wrapped around me, holding me tight.
The phone rang again and then something clattered on the night table but he ignored them as he dragged his lips along my jaw to my ear.
I shivered.
