Breathless Promises (Alluring Promises Series Book 3) by Josie Bordeaux Page B

words that he was saying shot tingles all through me. Yes, give me another night. My body was screaming for just a quick fix from him, regardless if it was in that stupid stockroom. His voice continued to whisper in my ear more words of what I’ve been so desperate to hear. “The way you kiss, the way you taste. Seeing you every day sends me back to our night together. One that will never compare with anyone else.” Breathless. I was completely his and he took my breath away with those words. His hard body pressed against mine, his thick cock pressed against my belly through our clothes. Remembering our night together, I couldn’t help but be swept away by those words.
    A glass shattering somewhere in the distance pulled me from the fantasy world he was trying to take me into. At that moment, my eyes snapped to his and I realized…it was Clark. This is how he gets women into bed, or the stockroom, in this case.
    Dammit, I’m such a fool.
    I quickly gathered my wits about me and ran my hand along the muscles of his back, down to his firm ass and cupped him as I pressed my chest tight to him.
    “I think I’ll have to pass,” I whispered in his ear. It wasn’t entirely his fault, after all. I just led him on while we were on the dance floor. I had sent him mixed signals and I was angry with myself for doing that.
    I pulled back and gave a quick squeeze to his hand. He glanced at my lips while he ran his tongue over his. “Are you sure?”
    “If we were to ever go again, it wouldn’t be in the stockroom.” I backed away from him and chuckled that he thought I’d go into the stockroom with him. Although what I said was true. I didn’t want him again in the back closet of a bar. My fantasies were of him, alone in my room. Possibly even tied up to my bed.
    I turned back to our group, all of whom were watching us with their mouths gaped open.
    “So I’ve still got a second shot, right?” He called after me. I shook my head, snickering as I continued to the bar not giving him an answer.
    “What was that all about?” Vanessa asked, while Izzy and Mel also leaned in to hear.
    I shrugged. “I’m just helping him out a little. She’s toying with him. I thought I’d give her something to think about. Not that it’s my place or anything.” I turned to Mel. “I just thought I’d give her a kick.”
    “You’re not jealous of her or anything, are you?” Vanessa asked.
    “No,” I blurted out, probably a little too quick. Her brow whipped up. Maybe she knows me better than I know myself. “Tina’s trying to see if she can claim a guy like Clark. It’s probably just a competition for her, that’s all.”
    I was relieved when the chitchat turned away from Clark and Tina. I tried to ignore them but couldn’t help myself when I noticed Tina’s blonde hair swaying as she sashayed to the bathroom. I looked back and saw her boyfriend sitting by himself watching after her and then looked down, swirling his beer.
    I stood up and straightened out my top before grabbing my purse. Vanessa’s mouth curled into a knowing smile. “Where are you going?” She asked as if she already knew.
    “I feel the need to fix my hair,” I told her, smiling slyly. She shook her head, knowing that I was really just going to poke at the hornet’s nest.
    I pushed the door open, wondering if Tina would even talk to me again, but I had to try. There she was, applying lipstick to her full plump lips. I watched her eyes flick to mine and then back to her reflection.
    “Hi Tina.” I addressed her as I walked up to the sinks and plopped my purse beside one. I took out my lip gloss and began to apply it.
    “Nice hair,” she told me. I was pretty sure it wasn’t a compliment. I think she even rolled her eyes.
    “Thanks.” I smiled as I put the cap back onto my lip gloss and tossed it back into my purse.
    “You didn’t have to add to the situation, you know,” Tina said to me as she turned and rested her hip along the counter. She
