her skin igniting with excited little bursts of heat. She wanted more of that hardness. She wanted to feel it inside her, buried deep, while the muscled contours of his chest flattened her breasts.
Good God, how she wanted that!
The sound of a car engine rumbling outside wrenched her out of her pleasure-soaked fantasy.
“Mason, stop,” she said against his lips. “That’s probably Kiera.” She pushed against his chest. “Mason, Kiera’s here.”
“So,” he said.
She pointed to his crotch. “Do you really want your little sister to see you like this?”
Oh, God. She’d caused that.
She was responsible for giving Mason Coleman an erection to rival any erection she’d ever seen.
“Oh, my God. Mason, what are we doing?”
A sexy smile tilted up his lips. “If I have to explain it, Eric really wasn’t doing his job.”
He pressed a swift kiss to her lips and headed for the back hallway. Mere seconds later, Kiera walked through the door.
Jada hopped off the dining room table and straightened her clothes. She combed her fingers through her wavy, natural curls.
“I’ve got the…snacks,” Kiera trailed off as she walked into the dining room carrying a tray. She gestured to the mess on the floor. “What happened here?”
Jada waved her off. “I tripped and knocked all of this off the table trying to break my fall. You know how much of a klutz I am.” She stooped down and started picking up the items Mason had swept off the table before he’d lifted her onto it.
“Did you hit yourself when you fell?”
Jada looked up. “What?”
Kiera gestured to her own collarbone. “You’ve got something red forming there. Did you bruise yourself?”
That wasn’t a bruise. That was the result of Mason sucking on her neck.
She stood and grabbed the tray from Kiera. “So, what kind of appetizers did you make?” Jada asked in an attempt to steer the conversation away from “injuries” she didn’t want to explain.
She followed Kiera out to her car to get the rest of the appetizers. When they returned, Mason was walking into the kitchen, buttoning the cuffs on a new, freshly pressed shirt.
“Hi,” he said, giving Kiera a kiss on the cheek. “Did you win the bid for the Chamber of Commerce banquet?”
“I don’t know yet. They still haven’t contacted me.”
“You need me to make a call?”
“No! I’d rather they choose me because they like my food, not because my big brother called in a favor, thank you very much.”
“Fine,” Mason said with a sigh. “I’m going out tonight so that I don’t disturb your party.” He glanced over at Jada. “Matthew Gauthier and I are going to talk about boring law stuff over dinner.”
Jada didn’t want to examine why her emotions went from mournful to euphoric in the span of two seconds. Though it wasn’t as if she had to think very hard to figure it out. The thought of Mason going out with someone other than a colleague after the way he’d kissed her just minutes ago made her stomach hurt.
The fact that she had no right to feel any way whatsoever about who he went out with made her stomach hurt even more.
Jada cleared her throat. “There’s a rumor going around that Matthew Gauthier is thinking of a possible state senate run,” she said.
Mason hunched his shoulders. “Matt’s being pretty tight-lipped about it, but if I were a betting man, I’d put my money on it that he will.”
Matthew Gauthier was well-known and well-respected throughout Maplesville. His ancestors had founded the neighboring town of Gauthier.
“He would make a good senator,” Jada remarked. “He’s got the temperament for it.”
Mason chuckled. “Yeah, I’m not sure how well I’d do in some of the situations Matt’s found himself in.”
Kiera held up both hands. “Hold on a minute. What’s going on here? You two have been in each other’s company for more than thirty seconds and you’re not biting each other’s heads off. That has to be a
