Taking a deep breath, I turned around to face him with his hands
still holding onto my arms. “Are you asking me on another date?” I asked,
teasing him.
He smirked, a slow tilting of his lip that had me aching to bite
it. “That’s up to you if that’s what you want to call it,” he murmured
heatedly.
“What if I do want to call it that?” I asked boldly.
Alec pinned me up against the counter and placed his arms on both
sides of me, locking me in to the confines of his body. His piercing blue gaze
held me captive, and I was drowning, struggling to breathe as he moved closer.
Bending low, he continued his torturous teasing by breathing
across my neck. My eyes fluttered closed as his lips connected with the tender
flesh at my collarbone. I shivered as the chill bumps fanned across my skin and
made me weak. His voice in my ear immediately counteracted the chills. “If you
want to call this dating, then I think that usually requires a little bit of
touching, does it not?”
My breathing accelerated as Alec’s body grew flush with mine,
leaning dangerously against me. He tilted my head back slightly so I had to
look into his face. Slowly, I placed my hands on his hips, and instead of
touching the waist of his jeans I was met with the bare skin of his body where
his shirt had lifted up.
Holy shit, his skin felt hot! I could feel the ridges
on his sides where they disappeared beneath his jeans, and I wanted nothing
more than to trail my tongue down the contours of his muscles.
With hooded eyes, and a raspy, breathless voice, I replied, “I’m
sure it’s customary to withstand some touching, but not too
much since I don’t know you very well.” I said it, but my body didn’t really mean
it, and he could tell I was lying to myself.
Slowly, he brought his hand to my face and trailed one of his
long, lithe fingers over my cheek and down my neck. “Like this,” he insisted,
swirling his finger around my neck. “Is this the kind of touching we’re allowed
to do?” Chill bumps exploded across my skin, making me shiver.
“Yes,” I breathed, relishing in the feel of his touch. “Just like
that.”
Closing my eyes, I sighed as he trailed his finger further down,
stopping at my navel. The heat of his breath fanned across my face as I felt
him dipping lower. I didn’t dare open my eyes and risk breaking the connection,
but I wanted to see the heat in his gaze. Ever so slowly, his mouth connected
with mine, soft and confident. He lingered for a moment, not moving, just his
lips touched lightly to mine.
I wanted more … a lot more.
