Manfax (Winter Brothers #2) - Jacob Chance Page 0,56

eyes connecting. “I’m a mess.”

“A beautiful mess,” he replies, provoking a fluttering in my stomach that could rival the speed of a hummingbird’s wings.

Rising from my seat, I roll my chair backward with the back of my legs. Stepping around the side of my desk, I stop when I’m in front of Adam. My hands creep up his chest, grazing his hard pecs, and pause to grip his wide, sculpted shoulders. “Thank you for bringing me breakfast and coffee.” My voice sounds unusually breathy.

“Welcome,” he husks, his large, strong hands settling low on my hips. It’s clear both of us are equally affected by our close proximity. Our breaths sync, picking up speed, like a car shifting through the gears. Sexual tension crackles between us until we can’t withstand the need any longer.

Giving in, we meet in a fiery crush of lips, tongues, and teeth. Wet and frantic, Adam’s mouth devours mine. Every possible inch of our bodies is pressed together, but we still can’t get close enough.

Keys jingle before clunking down on Lisa’s desk in the reception area, alerting me we’re no longer alone.

My palms slip downward, pressing on his chest with urgency. Adam draws back, his green irises still clouded with passion. Neither of us wants to step away and end our contact, but I force my trembling legs to move. Retracing my steps around my desk, I sink down less than gracefully onto my chair just prior to Lisa appearing in the doorway.

She greets me with a smile. “Hey.” Her gaze swings over to Adam, and her lips flatten, forming a straight, thoughtful line. She’s wondering what he’s doing here. Yesterday, I filled her in on what went down on our date. She was excited for me but disappointed I hadn’t heard from him since. With how protective of me she can be, I’m hoping she waits to talk with me before dressing him down.

“Good morning.” I make my smile as full as possible, hoping she’ll take it as a sign that things are good.

“How’s it going?” Adam asks.

“Good, thanks. How about you?” She looks him over.

“I’m here talking to two of the most beautiful women in this city. My day’s looking fantastic.”

“Don’t lay it on too thick,” Lisa advises.

“Adam brought us both coffee. Isn’t that sweet?”

Her brows bounce upward with surprise. “Thank you. That’s thoughtful and totally unexpected.”

“Why do I get the sense that you’re as surprised by my gesture as Roxanne was? Do I come off as some asshole or something?”

“Or something,” Lisa mumbles under her breath. If I could reach her, I’d kick her into silence. Adam and I are just starting to find our way together, and I don’t need her making him suspicious. At some point, I’ll need to confess about the Manfax reports, but today is not the time. I’m not sure when we’ll have that discussion, but I’ve no doubt I’ll know when the moment is right.

Adam

Starting my truck, I pause, rubbing my hand over my short beard. “Before we start on our way toward our destination, I want to tell you what we’re doing.”

“Okay. Why do you seem nervous? You’re not going to spring some other woman on me and try to get me to have a three way are you?”

A quick laugh flies from my mouth. I shouldn’t be surprised that Rocky’s question isn’t remotely predictable. I meet her gaze directly and shake my head. “No three ways, I promise.”

“Good. I don’t eat pussy, and I don’t plan on starting.”

“Christ, Rocky.” I push down on my cock, adjusting it through my jeans.

“Men,” she grouses. “Mention some girl on girl action and you all pop boners like teenagers.”

“That’s not what happened at all. I didn’t think about you with another woman. You made my dick hard just saying the word pussy, and all I can think about is what you’ll taste like when I bury my mouth between your thighs.”

Glancing at me from under her thick lashes, she visibly swallows. “When exactly do you plan on doing that?”

“The first fucking chance I get.”

“Oh.” Her pink tongue slips out, dampening her bottom lip.

I clear my throat. Get a grip, man. “I started to tell you about our plans before you distracted me with your dirty talk.” I back my truck to the end of her driveway.

“I can do much better than that,” she promises, making my cock react again.

“I can’t wait to experience all of your oral talents.” I wink. Reversing into the road, I shift into drive and start
