Sugar and salt.
    Fast and loud, her breath echoed in the room.
    She tilted her head a fraction, and it was enough encouragement for him. He smiled against her neck. The fight was over. He’d won and his reward would be sugar-sweet. A sense of victory swelled through him.
    John bit her. Her sharp gasp pierced his gut and hardened his cock. Wrapping one arm around her waist, he cupped her throat and sucked before nipping her again. Livvy’s body curved into his, hips thrusting back into his growing erection. She fit perfectly against him and a primordial satisfaction claimed him. She would be a
    fantastically responsive lover. His tongue traced the bite mark before traveling up her jaw.
    Triumph sang in his gut as her eyes closed in surrender.
    A submissive whimper passed her lips. She turned, twined her arms around his neck and kissed him. Her mouth was warm and pliant under his. He delved deeper than he intended, pulling her closer, starving for more. God, she’s sweet…
    She tasted like forbidden things. Things he yearned for and rarely received. Like chocolate birthday cake and strawberry ice cream. He Inez Kelley

    preferred spicy to syrupy delights. But she was that, too. Red Hots, the candies that burned your mouth but tasted so good you couldn’t stop eating them. Livvy was red hot.
    John took her mouth until they were both
    breathless. He grew dizzy on a sugar high. He slipped a hand under her shirt hem. Heated skin met his palm. Hot, sweet sugar. Red Hots. She arched her back, planting her breasts firmly into his chest. Her painful tug on his hair jacked his hunger higher.
    Light flooded the room, shining harshly into his closed eyes, and he forced his mouth from hers.
    Livvy buried her face in his shoulder.
    Andrea grimaced and embarrassment colored her cheeks. The light snapped off. “Sorry. Just wanted to pee before the fireworks start. Don’t let me interrupt.”
    She darted through the kitchen and Livvy
    pulled her hands from his neck. The spell had been broken. John tightened his hold but she pushed lightly at his chest.
    “Stop. This is a mistake.” The raw desire in her voice belied her words and he feathered her brow with soft kisses. Rather than step away, she leaned closer to his mouth. “Murphy, stop. We can’t do this. We’re neighbors, this isn’t smart.”
    “Geography shouldn’t stop this, Livvy. It feels too good.” He let his mouth play down her cheek.

    On his biceps, her hands tightened. She raised her head. Those vivid eyes captured his, and his throat clenched.
    “And what happens if it falls apart? Then we have to see each other every day. It’s too risky, Murphy.”
    He moved away. Just one step but enough to make his skin yearn for the touch of her body. He couldn’t force his arms totally away from her sides. He burned for her, but she had a right to know this wasn’t going to be some grand love affair. She had to know it. There could be no other way.
    “Liv, I’m not looking for forever. I’m not interested in long term or marriage or anything like that. Just you and me, spending time together, having fun, and maybe getting naked. No
    promises and no heartaches. We could be good together. And when it’s done, it’s done, no harm no foul.”
    “So this is what, build up for one hell of a one night stand?”
    He wanted to say yes but a gnawing appetite told him one night wouldn’t be enough. She was too mouthwatering to be ravished. He wanted to savor her spice until it burned him, let her sweetness flood his bitter soul until his teeth ached with it. No, one night was nowhere near enough time.

    He couldn’t resist one last taste from her lips before whispering against her cheek. “A night, a week, a month, who knows? It’s for as long as we’re both enjoying ourselves. And you will enjoy it, Livvy.”
    She shivered and his stomach tightened against the urge to take her mouth again. The soft pink tongue he’d just tasted
