Breathless, my body shaking, I pull back just as our kiss begins to deepen, my lips tender to the touch as I lick them. I look up at the brown-haired Adonis holding me close, inhaling as deep as I can. I let go of a shaky breath.
βWhat are you doing?β
Brett blinks. βWhat you wonβt. What I shouldnβt.β He kisses me chastely, pulling back. βWhat we need.β He grins. βI couldnβt hold back any longer.β
βYou make us sound like dogs on a leash.β
He snorts on a soft laugh, his stare scanning over my lips. βIf anyoneβs a dog here, itβs me. But I canβt deny you, Elsie.β He gaze goes back up to mine. βI canβt deny this. I know we made a promise. To never cross this line again. But thereβs a reason weβre both here in New York. Thereβs a reason for right now. To be honestβ¦ I donβt know what the hell it really is.β His aqua eyes glow. βBut I know I want to explore it.β His voice lowers. βExplore youβ¦ If you let me, Elsie. All of thisβeverythingβis up to you.β
But I canβt think, let alone move or talk while our bodies are so close. He smells like the rain. Clean and crisp. A fresh, lightly smoky scent, the skin that is pressed against me as is almost as intoxicating as the stareβthe one that intensely searches mine, excavating answers, digging deep enough to find only fucking desire, Iβm sure. Iβm so turned on I canβt speak. My voice is little more than a sigh. I bite my bottom lip, trying to control my tongue.
I fail.
βWe canβt throw caution to the wind, Brett. We have Kayla to think about. And even if we didnβt, we have history, too much past. Weβve practically watched each other grow up. Stayed in the same houses.β I scoff out loud, a blush hitting my cheeks that I can feel burn. βFor Godβs sake, youβve seen everything. Youβve seen me at my worst.β
He chuckles, a seductive low sound. βMy sexy sweet Elsie. You donβt get it, do you? In my eyesβ¦ you have no worst.β
