Dare to Resist (a Wedding Dare novella) (Entangled Brazen) by Laura Kaye Page A

cupped her face as he pulled his fingers free of her mouth. He bent down to align his eyes with hers. “Everything okay?” he asked.
    The emergence of sweet Colton brought the sting of tears to the backs of her eyes. Here he was, taking care of her in yet another way. “Everything’s perfect,” she said.
    A small, tender smile played around his lips for a moment, and then it dropped and his eyes went molten. “Good, then bend over the damn bed.”
    …
    Colton watched Kady, waiting to see what she would do, how she would react. Because she’d surprised him over and over. Even when he’d guessed correctly what her reaction might be, he’d had absolutely no idea what it would feel like to be doing any of this with her.
    Kady blew every one of his fantasies entirely out of the water. Brave, daring, willing to give herself over to the pursuit of absolute abandon, he found her appealing in ways he never even knew to imagine.
    She’d talked about wanting him to see her. Well, today, right now? He realized how damned much he’d been wanting—no, needing—someone to see him, too. See him and accept him for everything that he was. And not just someone. Her. Kady.
    And, damnit, she got him. He could see it in her eyes, hear it in her voice, feel it in her touch.
    Kady’s eyes darted to the side, and Colton smiled inwardly. She was thinking about running again. Do it, Kady. I dare you. “Keep me waiting one more second and I’m going to make you sorry.” When she still didn’t move, Colton grabbed her arm and dragged her stumbling toward the bed. He’d been keeping an eye on her throughout this whole thing—a very close eye—and everything he saw told him that what they were doing turned her on and got her off.
    Damnit all to hell, but Kady Dresco was perfect for him in every way—including her smart mouth—and she’d been right in front of him all this time. Realization and certainty crashed into him—he’d never find someone better suited to him. And he didn’t even want to look.
    Colton was caught up deep enough in his thoughts that when he released her and shoved her onto the mattress, he wasn’t prepared for her to use the momentum of his push to scrabble across the bed.
    She tossed him a challenging glance as she bolted off the other side, smiling and laughing.
    Colton felt the grin crawl up his face. Damn if he didn’t love her playfulness. “Aw, you are going to pay for that.” He shot around the bottom of the bed and took off after her. He easily caught up as she dashed into the bathroom, then stalked her until her sweet little ass came up against the countertop.
    “Sorry, sorry,” she said, smiling and shaking her head and trying to flatten herself against the tile.
    “Too late for that,” he said, still wearing that grin. “See, I was going to give you the soft warmth of the bed, but maybe this suits you more.” He claimed her mouth in a hard kiss. Kady literally melted into him and moaned like he was the water she needed to drink.
    Her hands wrapped around the back of his neck and slid into his hair, tugging and pulling and scratching in a way that drove him wild. She wrenched her mouth away. “ Please .”
    “I like it when you beg.” He whirled her around, tore off his T-shirt, and pushed her upper body forward until she hovered over the counter. Frustrated by the clothing that separated them, he slid off her skirt, undid his pants, and shoved everything down around his thighs. Then he caught her by the arms. “Want to watch me fuck you?” he asked, his blood scalding hot with the need to bury himself deep.
    Kady bit down on her lip and nodded. “I’d love that.”
    That made two of them. But Colton was also very conscious that this was their first time together. Even though they were playing and he knew she was completely into it, he couldn’t be rough about this moment.
    Taking himself in hand, he aligned his head with her opening—
    He wrenched back. “Goddamnit. Let me get
