inside the waistband of his jeans, pulling their bodies together.
    “Kiss me,” she whispered. Before I lose my courage. His eyes searched hers for a long moment before he bent his head and did as she asked. Expecting a hard, wild, insatiable kiss she was surprised by his tenderness. Olivia returned the kiss, her arms reaching around, her hands pressing into his back.
    “My condo is across the road.” His warm breath brushed her cheek with each word. “Come with me.”
    It wasn’t a question or an order. His liquid-smooth voice hypnotized her. She nodded. They kissed again deeply, slowly until she was breathless. The man knew what he was doing. Would he be that good in bed? Her knees shook at the thought and she pressed against him.
    “I walked to the bar. Give me your car keys. I’ll drive. Wouldn’t want—” Rico bent his head lower and kissed her neck, “—to leave it here overnight.”
    “No. You’ve been drinking too.”
    “Only soda.”
    “What?” She pulled back to get a look at his face. He gave her a wicked smile and went back to sliding his lips and tongue over her neck.
    “First—” Olivia sucked in a breath, “—you’ll have to stop doing that.”
    “What?” he asked and nibbled her neck.
    “That.” The word came out in a strangled sound.
    Rico straightened. “Keys?” His fingertips danced up and down her arm giving her the shivers.
    Olivia swallowed hard as she fumbled in her purse for the keys.
    “Here.”
    “Which car?”
    Olivia licked her lips. His taste sent her heart rate into overdrive. “Behind you, to your right. The Jeep.”
    He looked from her to the Jeep and back again “You’re kidding. I pegged you for a sports car, something you could fly low in.”
    Oh. If he only knew. “I’m full of surprises. You’ll see,” she whispered.
    “Can’t wait.”
    “Neither can I.” She prepared herself for another go-on-forever kiss. It didn’t come. Between gentle darting kisses, Rico nibbled her lips while his hands explored her body. Olivia moaned. She couldn’t help it.
    The sound seemed to trigger something in Rico. Now the kissing was hard, wild and insatiable. Strong arms circled her, big hands covered her buttocks and yanked her against him. Without stopping the kisses or separating their bodies, Rico maneuvered them to the passenger side of her Jeep. He broke away, stepped back and with a smooth motion turned her around.
    “What?”
    “Shhh.” His fingers circled her wrists like handcuffs, forcing her hands against the Jeep. He settled all his weight against her, leaving no question as to how aroused he was.
    “Keep your hands there,” he hissed in her ear, kissing his way down the back of her neck to her shoulder. “Don’t move.”
    Move? Pressed between him and the Jeep she could hardly do more than squirm. He shifted off her slightly, raised the hem of her dress to her waist and placed his hands over her rear. Splaying his fingers, he ran his thumbs around the crease of her cheeks, all the while giving her neck and shoulders quick kisses.
    “What…are you doing?” If he thought he was going to have sex with her against the Jeep, in a damn parking lot, he’d better think again.
    “Take it easy.” He groaned. “I’m getting to know you.”
    His rough hands caressed her butt, snagging on the lace of her panties. How would they feel on her breasts? On her thighs? Inside her? Olivia shuddered. She couldn’t take much more. His fingers slipped under the cloth as he sucked and nibbled the curve of her neck, her shoulders and back, inflaming her desire to such a pitch her pulse roared and her body hummed.
    “I like what you’re doing.” She sighed, realizing all control was gone. At that moment she would have let him do anything he wanted. Maybe sex in a parking lot wouldn’t be so bad. She arched her back, pushing her buttocks into him, grinding into his erection. He moved his hips in response. Reaching around, she slid her hand up his muscled
