“Yes?”
He took the box of chicken fried rice from her hand, set it on the table, his gaze never leaving hers. He cupped her cheek, drew her closer to him, their lips an inch apart. “Do you know how many times, how long, I’ve wanted to kiss you?”
“Hmm,” came her incoherent reply. Dare didn’t need further encouragement.
Lowering his head quickly, his lips rubbed hers, left and right, sweet caresses that kicked his blood pressure into high.
He had never tasted anything sweeter. Her mouth held a hint of mint from the tea she’d made earlier. He would always associate the flavor with her. And he wanted more of it.
His tongue traced the seam of her lips. He nudged her backward until she lay against the couch. He shifted closer and lounged next to her.
Her fingers tangled in his hair, and she tugged him closer still as her tongue swept his mouth.
Dare groaned. Sexually aggressive women were a turn on, always had been, but with her the excitement went up a notch. Her hesitancy mixed with aggressiveness was more than pleasing. This woman could turn a man inside out. Her touch and taste were addictive and sweet.
If Dare wasn’t careful he’d fall for her, and hard.
Right now, he didn’t much care.
Olivia’s body shifted next to his. Her front aligned with his, breasts pressed against him, her right leg falling over his.
He slid his hand down her back and squeezed her ass, drawing her into him. Her ass cheek filled his hand. The tightness of her jeans rough against his palm, but he could feel the fullness of her. He was thankful she wasn’t bone-skinny like a lot of women these days. He liked that she had an amazing, voluptuous, sexy body. Made for him to stroke.
Both hands held him close, clenched his hair and drove him crazy. It was difficult to contain his breathing. He felt energized. Her need and desire propelling his own. Their bodies fed off each other as they pulled one another closer.
His lips moved over her cheek and down her neck. He nipped her earlobe with his teeth, eliciting a moan from her. He licked the skin below her ear. Olivia’s hips bucked, and pressed into his hardness.
Dare smiled. He’d found a soft spot, and bit the area with his teeth. Her head fell back, her chest pressed into him, and a raspy moan escaped her.
He moved back and soaked in the sight of the woman in his arms.
Neck exposed and her breathing labored, she was a vision. He saw her nipples peaked beneath her t-shirt. Her hands repeatedly clenched on his scalp, and he knew their first time together would be hot, erotic and quick.
They were both primed and ready. He couldn’t wait to get her in beneath him.
“Let’s take this into another room, shall we?”
Olivia’s head rolled to the side—her gaze full of fire—and shivered. With her small nod and sweet smile, he sat up and placed one arm around her back and the other under her knees.
He stood, picked her up with ease and turned.
“Dare,” she chided, voice hoarse. “I can walk.”
He rubbed his lips against hers. “Why walk when you don’t have to? Besides, I want to keep you in my arms.”
Her eyes lit up with delight. She’d never looked more beautiful. His mouth took hers again, tongue plundering. His body tightened. He needed and wanted her more than any other woman he’d known.
He dragged himself back, and asked, “Which way?” He started down the hall, turned right at the door she pointed to.
He crossed the threshold, his gut clenching as he surveyed the room.
The more he came to know her, the more he discovered that under the ‘hands off’ attitude she was a firecracker.
A small lamp lit the room added a sensual feast for the eyes and created carnal thoughts. Deep burgundy and gold filled the area. If he wasn’t mistaken, the cherry wood sleigh-bed was made up with silk sheets. A sheer golden canopy surrounded the bed.
A dark colored carpet—he would guess rust-colored—was thick and plush. His sock feet appreciated the
