“I think I’m the only judge of who would or would not suit me in my bed, Gypsy,” he refuted, his voice low. “Come on, try me on for size, then decide if I fit as you need me or not.”
“And if the size is wrong?” Amusement flashed in her eyes. “Won’t it be a little too late to decide I’d made the wrong decision?”
“I promise not to kiss and tell.” His brows lifted suggestively. “And I sure as hell don’t come and tell.”
She flushed again. He couldn’t wait to watch that intriguing heat spread from her face, along her neck and over her br**sts as pleasure began to fill her.
She was breathing raggedly, her br**sts rising and falling quickly beneath the bodice of her pretty gown as she tried to find a way to talk herself out of wanting him.
He could feel her doing it, coming up with all the reasons why she shouldn’t lie in his arms and scream out her release.
Rising, he pulled her unhurriedly to her feet, ignoring the indecision on her face as he drew her to the exit, then the short distance to the elevators.
Her heart was racing so fast, so hard she was nearly shaking with it as excitement churned in the air around her.
Rule drew her into the elevator as the doors swished open, pulled her into his arms and, as they slid closed, lowered his lips to hers.
Her kiss was as sweet as his favorite hard candies, he thought, and just as hot. His tongue licked over her lips, parted them, then stroked inside for a deeper, intimate exploration.
Still, she stood hesitantly before him, her lips parting for him, her tongue touching his despite her wariness, her intent to pull back rising alongside the arousal burning inside her.
Gripping her wrists, he drew them to his shoulders, his hands stroking down her sides before reaching her hips and curling his fingers over them.
She kissed him with a hunger that drove spikes of pure raw need straight to his balls. As she stretched against him, reaching for him now, a moan whispered past her lips as her hips tilted and he pulled her into the thick ridge of his c**k rising beneath his slacks.
Pulling his head back, his control threatening to slip, Rule stared down at her, his gaze narrowed on her sensually flushed features.
“I’ll be lucky if I make it to my suite,” he groaned. “You go to my head faster than liquor.”
...
She went to his head faster than liquor?
Gypsy could feel her blood racing through her body, pounding at her clit, in the sensitive tissue of her pu**y, and wondered how a kiss would have a woman so ready, so hot and so eager to f**k for a man’s touch.
She didn’t want to wait. She wanted to take him here, now. She wanted his tongue against hers, pushing between her lips and making her even more delirious with pleasure as his hands pushed the material of her dress to her hips. She wanted him to drive that hard, heavy flesh rising between his thighs into the torturous ache between hers.
When his lips refused to kiss her hard enough, hot enough, her fingers speared into his hair, gripped the coarse strands and tried to hold him in place.
She needed so much more than he was giving her.
And it didn’t make sense.
This was too dangerous.
He might not kiss and tell—or whatever version of it they were about to do—but that didn’t mean the Unknown wouldn’t know. They were masters at knowing, especially the one she had made contact with.
Yet pulling away, denying him, was impossible.
She couldn’t taste him deep enough, couldn’t feel the power of his kiss sinking far enough into her and couldn’t make herself care about anything but needing more and more of him.
And that wasn’t like her.
But then, she hadn’t been herself since the night she had glanced across a bar and met his gaze so many weeks ago. As though she had been waiting for him all her life.
The ping of the elevator was only a distant sound, but the feel of Rule suddenly lifting her into his arms and striding from the cubicle was anything but distant. It was the most amazingly sensual act she had experienced to date.
“This is insane,” she whispered, burying her lips against his neck to test the tough flesh with her teeth before licking over the place where her teeth had bitten.
