embarrassment , his smile far too charming. Crossing her arms over her breasts, she arched an eyebrow, “Do you like what you see?”
“Very much; in fact, I think I would like to see more.” His voice was warm and seductive as he freely admitted to checking her out. Intrigued in spite of herself, her eyes dipped to the front of his jeans, where his substantial erection was displayed in a loving manner. The denim material clung to the thick length, emphasizing his grand size and the fact that he had nothing to be ashamed of.
When her mouth fell open, he laughed, pushing her chin upwards with the tip of his finger . “I trust that isn’t a problem?”
She sucked in a sharp breath at his touch , his boldness ; h e probably threw lines like that out all of the time hoping to get a nibble. She knew that i t was foolish to respond to words so blithely given , even when accompanied by proof of his attraction, but she was unable to summon the energy to be offended, especially when she was just as intrigued as he was. Unfortunately, she also couldn’t prevent her nipples from pebbling or her belly from tingling as if he was serious and he truly wanted her. It depressed her to realize how very much she wanted his flirtation to be real and she suddenly felt very old and alone. “You’re either very confident or… well, there is no or. I mean, look at you; why wouldn’t you be confident? You’re the most gorgeous man I’ve ever met.”
He smiled that devastating smile of his and she was pretty sure he could make a woman orgasm with little more than that smile. “You’ve never met my oldest brother.”
She made a weird face and shook her head in bewilderment; there was no way his oldest brother could be even more gorgeous than Rhys. She opened her mouth to tell him so when the elevator stopped and the doors slid open. Crinkling her nose at him, she stepped out and saw that her sister and Daughter had abandoned her to the supremely attractive Rhys’s keeping . “I’m going to strangle Lenni.”
A solid arm slid around her waist a nd a hot body pressed against her side a s Rhys’s warm, masculine scent washed over her. Her belly tightened and her thighs quivered in response; she was highly aroused and very horny. Desire so powerful swept through her, surprising her with its strength, and she realized that she wanted this man, this stranger, more than she should. She wouldn’t do anything about it because she was no longer reckless. It would hurt to indulge in a few fantasies, however….
Urging her forward, Rhys said, “I figured this would happen when Lenni invited me to tag along tonight. She has been talking you up for weeks, throwing out blatant hints that you and I should get together. Your sister is very determined, you know.”
“Try sharing a womb with her,” Jenna ground out, dizzyingly pleased that her sister was playing matchmaker, even if the man standing next to her was more than she could have imagined. Oddly, he was exactly what she wanted and she knew that sex with him would be decadent and all-consuming . And completely consigned to her fantasies. “Growing up she was always pulling me into a closet and pretending it was the portal to a magical world. When I was younger I could enjoy her stories but then I grew up and she preferred the closet. ”
“Well, that would explain her ability to live in a shoe box,” he replied , amusement lacing his voice. “I’d become claustrophobic living in her apartment.”
“I don’t know,” Jenna grinned, enjoying the easy banter, the hum of arousal that heated her blood . “I think living at the castle would be amazing ; the architecture alone is phenomenal . Of course, only Lenni would find the perfect apartment when she wasn’t even looking.”
“I t was fate,” Rhys murmured , staring ahead as if he could see Melanie and Vaughn , a thoughtful expression on his handsome face .
“It’s Melanie; she walks through life secure in her own
