the middle.
Her eyes drifted shut and her breath stalled in her throat. His kiss was hot, firm, rough. Yep, everything she'd always fantasized about. And like him, bigger and bolder than her ordinary ho-hum life. She thrust a hand through his hair, needing to be closer. His tongue speared between her lips and everything feminine inside her melted. She melted. Against him, into him, beneath his hot hands that seared through the thin fabric of her blouse.
Oh God . He felt so good. Getting lost in his kiss felt so good. So right.
As if suddenly realizing how much time they’d wasted over the years, his big hands moved to the buttons on her blouse, fumbling to get them out of the holes. She couldn’t be sure but she thought he was trembling.
That brought out her bolder side. The idea that this man, the man who'd run eighty yards to score the winning touchdown in the Super Bowl, could be unsteady, that there'd be any vulnerability in him whatsoever was awe inspiring.
JJ dropped her purse to the ground and then sucked on his tongue. His hands stopped their course as he groaned. But he quickly returned to the job, freeing her from her silken prison. After tugging the shirt out of her skirt he splayed his fingers around her waist again, making her feel small and feminine. Then, almost reverently, he slid his hands north and cupped her breasts, testing their weight, tracing the scalloped trim with his fingertips.
Her knees knocked together as he pinched the stiffened peaks. “Oh...” She gasped for breath, feeling a little light headed.
Trevor seemed to know instinctively what she needed and how very wet he was making her. He turned and her back met a metal shelving unit. She winced at the pain between her shoulder blades but didn’t stop trailing her fingers through his hair.
With his big body holding her there, locked in place, his thumbs continued to torment her nipples with slow circles and steady pressure.
When his lips moved down her jaw, chill bumps coursed over her skin like wildfire. She shivered against him, clutching him to her. He licked the hollow of her throat and she let out an honest-to-God whimper. Gracious, what was he doing to her?
“You taste like sugar,” he murmured against her skin. “You know what my favorite carnival food is?”
His lips nibbled their way back up to her ear. Oh my—
“Funnel cake?”
“Cotton candy. A mix of the pink and the blue.”
“Sounds sweet. Ahh...” He bit her earlobe gently, tugging just hard enough to bring another flood of moisture between her thighs. At this rate her panties would be soaked before he even got them off her.
“You taste sweeter than you look.”
“Gee thanks.” She slid her hands down the solid wall of his chest, relishing each wonderful muscle. After all this time, she was finally able to touch him.
“Have you seen yourself lately?” he whispered. “As much as I hate to admit it, I know a thing or two about women's lingerie.”
JJ's temper spiked. “I'll just bet you do.” She pushed him away but he barely moved.
“Seriously.” He leaned back just far enough to stare down at her breasts. “Black lingerie. Scalloped edges. I can almost see through the cups, beautiful. A sweet woman does not wear underwear like this.”
She raised an eyebrow at his assessment. Did that make her a bad girl? She supposed there was a case for that considering her current circumstances.
“It makes me wonder...” He trailed a finger down the valley between her breasts. “…if you're wearing matching panties.”
The look in his eyes was pure mischief. She forgot all about her temper as a sultry smile curved her lips. If she was going to be bad...she might as well go all the way.
CHAPTER THREE
“Well...you could wonder,” she told him, walking her fingers down to the button of his jeans. She wet her lips again. It took all her courage to force the naughty words between her lips and finish the sentence. “Or, you could see for
