ever-lovin’ mind. Whatever brain cells he hadn’t knocked out slamming his head off the dirt floor of an arena floated out his ear at the scent of her.
“Vanilla bean,” he said.
She blinked rapidly. “What?”
“Your perfume. And I smell the spices of your rub.” He drawled out the last word as if he was drawing his hands slowly over her sleek curves.
Her breasts lifted and fell with her big intake of air. “I developed that rub myself.”
“Oh yeah?” He cocked a brow.
“Yeah.” She lifted her chin in a defiant manner.
“We’ll find out who has the best brisket.”
“Ha!” She stepped close enough that he only needed to lean in to claim her mouth for his own.
They glared at each other for an eternal heartbeat.
“All’s fair in love and barbecue joints.” The words tripped out of his mouth as he grabbed her and slammed his lips over hers.
For a moment, he thought she’d cuff him alongside the head or bite his lip. She didn’t—she threw her arms around his neck and climbed up his body to settle her thighs around his hips.
His libido hit rocket boosters mode and he ground his erection into her pussy as he plundered her sweet lips. God, he’d missed kissin’ her.
He dumped her onto the desk and pressed her back. She splayed her legs and he caught the scent of her arousal. Had she been burning for him all night long too? The thought was too much to hold onto—he’d blow.
She knocked his hat off and raked her fingers through his hair, dragging him in. He deepened the kiss, swiping his tongue through her hot mouth. She trailed after it with her own, darting hers in and out until he thought he’d die from the pressure burning up the front of his thighs to capture his groin.
Working his hips against hers, he closed his palm around her breast. She moaned into his mouth and wiggled under him, scraping the hardened point of her nipple against his hand.
With his other hand, he grabbed her by the hip and hauled her flush against him.
She tore her lips away. “I really wish you hadn’t come over here, Dom.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah.”
He fed her his tongue for so many seconds he forgot to breathe. When he pulled free and gazed down at her with his heart hammering, his cock about to explode and too much desire to put into words, he cocked a brow in challenge.
At the same moment she went for his shirt buttons, he tore her top overhead. Her nimble fingers slipped into the buttons against his bare chest, and he pinched her nipple between his thumb and forefinger. She sucked in a sharp breath and then cried out as he rolled it.
“You shoulda stayed away from Crossroads.”
“You shouldn’t have worn these shorts. They’ve been driving me crazy all night.” He dumped her on the desk.
“If you’d moved your business down the road, you wouldn’t have to look at them!” She yanked his shirt off his shoulders, and he shifted his weight from one arm to the other to help her shed it.
She did a sit up on the desk and swished her tongue across the disc of his nipple. A growl ripped from his lips, and he went for her mouth again, claiming her as he spread her out fully on the desk and teased both her nipples into sharp peaks. Rough little gasps escaped her, shooting his need up a hundred more miles into the sky.
He trailed his mouth over her small chin to her throat, sucking a path straight to the treasure. When he closed his mouth around one nipple, she latched onto his shoulders and arched off the surface.
He teased her, grazing her with his teeth and then sucking until she came off the desk.
“Dom!”
“I don’t know why I never took you to bed before, Jada, but I’m not going to let the chance pass me by a second time.”
“It’ll be your only chance, you jerk.” Her eyes rolled back in her head, and she shuddered under the ministrations of his fingers, lips and tongue as he worshipped her breasts.
An inferno of need blasted through his lower spine and ached in his balls. His breaths came out as rough gasps. When he latched onto the button of her shorts and popped it, he froze at the thought of actually taking her.
On her desk.
As adversaries.
Who gave a damn what they were?
He unzipped her fly and dipped two fingers into her panties. Her slick seam just about unhinged him.
Rearing back,
