cock against his jeans. He
nibbled at her lips, took the kiss deeper and showed her what a real kiss was.
Man, she had been missing out like crazy all of her life if this was a kiss.
She tightened her hand around his neck, leaned into him even more, and took the
kiss deeper. His low growl sent vibrations through her entire body. His hands
flexed, then relaxed on her ass. Slowly he lifted his head to rub his nose to
hers. “We should go to lunch before I give in to the ideas running through my
head.” Another quick kiss, then his hands let her ass loose and slid up to her
lower back.
    “Probably
a good idea.” She licked her lips and tightened her hand on his shirt, the hand
that was still on his chest. “You growled. That was so sexy.”
    “You
liked that, huh?” At her nod, his lips twitched into a crooked grin. “I’ll
remember that for later. Come on, it’s time for lunch. Have you tried the diner
up the block yet?” he asked, stepping back to take her hand in his, lacing
their fingers together.
    “Not
yet, no. It was on my list of places to try.” She gave his hand a squeeze and
chewed her lower lip, taking the taste of him into her mouth as she did so. “I
think I could become addicted to your kisses.” Which would make it that much
harder to leave when the time came. Damn. She liked this man, a lot. She had
done nothing but think about him since she met him.
    She
caught him licking his lips. “I’m already addicted to your taste. So I guess we
should talk a little and get to know each other. That way when I eventually
give in to the urge to throw you over my shoulder, haul you off to a room with
a door that locks, and do plenty of sweaty, naked activities with you it won’t
feel so awkward.” Jagger pulled and held the door for her to step through
before following her out onto the sidewalk and reclaiming her hand.
    That
had her grinning. “Or before I somehow trick you into going to my room with me
and doing all sorts of naked, sweaty things with you.” She shook her head.
“This is crazy. We’ve just met.” She wasn’t one to simply jump in. Her ex had
dated her for months before she slept with him, and her ex before him was the same
but for some reason with Jagger she wanted to have everything with him as soon
as humanly possible.
    “You
wouldn’t need to trick me.” Reaching the diner, he held the door for her, and a
minute later they were seated in a booth by the windows, menus in hand. “It
also doesn’t matter that we only just met. Sometimes it happens that fast,
instant attraction, the pull to another person. It’s rare but not unheard of.
But like I said, we should learn a little bit more about each other before we
get to stripping our clothing off. By the by, the pulled pork sandwiches are
great, and all the soups are top notch.”
    Ophelia
picked up a fork and idly twirled it. “I’d like to get to know you,” she said
and took a breath. Her mouth watered at the mention of pulled pork. “I love all
things pig. Funny, I know. Bacon, ham and pulled pork, yum. I would eat pig
over cow anytime. I know that’s pretty unusual, but that’s me, weird, but I
like me being weird.” She set the fork back on the napkin and reached for his
hand. “And dessert. If you are going to get me naked, you need to feed me
something sweet, you know.”
    Jagger’s
lips twitched. “I’ll take that into consideration. There’s a bakery across the
street we could hit up on the way back to the hotel. Maybe once I’m through
with my meeting I could come back for dessert.”
    She
nodded slowly. “But it doesn’t have to be tonight. From the way you were
talking, the meeting’s going to be pretty intense.” She didn’t want him to be
forced to do anything he didn’t want to do. “How about we eat, get the dessert
to go, and have it while we’re out on the snowmobiles? I’ll take you to the
spot that I like the best. It looks out over the valley and it is stunning.”
    “Or
we could do
