Excerpt
She felt his eyes
scan her from head to toe more than once before he closed the
distance between them and trapped her between the wall and his arms
resting on either side of her shoulders. She couldn’t move if she
wanted to; not with her heart pounding furiously to make her stay and
kiss him until he stopped his shenanigans. “I’ve got all I want
right here,” he whispered against her neck.
Gwen’s stomach
flipped and her throat immediately dried. Those words sounded like
honey on her tortured soul, but she couldn’t accept them. “You’re
drunk,” she shot back, equally hushed. She moved to escape his
clutch, but he pressed her against the wall with his body.
“Maybe a little,
but maybe I’m just drunk enough to demand you stop teasing me,”
he replied, moving her hair behind her shoulder and toying with the
dress strap. He rolled it between his fingers and lowered his eyes to
her dress. “You come to a party you’re not invited to wearing a
dress that makes every male head turn.” He slipped her strap down
and gently caressed her bare shoulder. Chills spread over her skin
the more he touched her. “And then you want to leave right after I
see you?” he finished, pushing the opposite dress strap off.
“That’s not very fair,” he complained, leaning down and
catching the tip of her ear between his teeth.
If it weren’t for
the other partygoers, Gwen was certain Jeremy would take her in that
very hallway. She saw the longing in his brown depths and knew hers
mirrored the exact same. “You know we can’t,” she murmured
against his lips.
Jeremy cradled her
face in his hands and nuzzled her nose with his before tilting her
head up. “Then why does it feel so right when we do?” he argued
as he lightly nibbled on her lower lip. His reasoning made sense to
her hazed thoughts. The way he coerced her lips with his only
intensified her resolve to not let anything or anyone get between
them.
Deciding one kiss
wouldn’t hurt anything, Gwen met Jeremy’s lips with exuberance.
His reaction took
her breath away when he eagerly slipped his tongue into her mouth to
tangle with hers. He tasted like beer laced with vodka and a hint of
peppermint, but to her, he still tasted like perfection. The beat of
the rock song playing over the amplifier only deepened the pressure
in Gwen’s body. Thankful for the crowd-reducing noise, Gwen pulled
Jeremy closer yet, until he was skin to skin with her.
“Criminal law is
my specialty,” he leaned in close, “so if you are ever in a bad
position I’ll get you off.”
She didn’t give a
damn if the freaking mailman slipped the mail right between her legs
at the mail slot beneath her.
Years of waiting
turned him into a man consumed with desire and suddenly, he didn’t
care if the janitor walked in on them.
