Kiss Me Book 1 by Chloe Parks Page A

against his
chest. “I need to get dressed and take care of some things. I’ve
got another showing tonight!”
    “ You do?”
    He nodded. “Yeah. It’s
been scheduled for a while. That’s what I’ve been doing the past
couple of days, getting ready. I’m going to be showing primarily my
pieces, but I wanted to ask if I could show your pieces
too.”
    “ Really?”
    He nodded. “There are
supposed to be some pretty big buyers there tonight.”
    “ I’m not really interested
in selling them,” she said.
    “ Well, we won’t sell them.
However, if you happen to end up in the spotlight because of some
major newspaper people are going to be there, that will not be my
fault,” he teased.
    “ Christian, I don’t
know.”
    “ Don’t worry, princess,” he
said, kissing her nose. “We can keep you nameless, if that is what
you want.”
    “ I’ll see.”
    He gave her one more deep
kiss before swimming to the stairs and climbing out. She
unabashedly watched as he emerged from the water. She licked her
lips and tried to calm the butterflies that were taking flight in
her stomach. The sun reflected off his tanned skin, highlighting
his beautiful muscles. It was those muscles she’d run her hands
over. She could still see her scratch marks on his back, and she
smiled smugly. It was as if she’d branded him as hers.
    “ You keep looking at me
like that and I’m not going to get shit done,” he said as he lifted
a towel from the shelf and began to dry off.
    “ Can’t help it,” she said
with a simple shrug.
    She waited until he was
completely dressed before climbing from the pool. Her nipples
tightened when his gaze landed on her. A seductive smile played on
her lips.
    “ Turnabout is fair play,”
she teased as she grabbed her robe and pulled it back around
her.
    Feeling it was safe to be
within arm’s length once more, Christian pulled Amy roughly against
his chest. His mouth slanted over hers for a deep kiss that made
her toes curl. Her hands sifted through his wet hair as she leaned
into him. She moaned into his mouth as he licked at her lips and
slipped his tongue further into the recesses of her
mouth.
    Finally, when he pulled
away, she was breathless, and her lips were swollen. “I’ll see you
tonight?” he asked.
    She smiled and nodded. “Of
course you will!”
    “ Good, oh, and the theme of
tonight is motorcycles.”
    “ Motorcycles?” She arched a
brow at him.
    He nodded. “Yeah, my
manager wanted to do something a little different, edgy, since a
lot of the art that is going to be showcased tonight is edgy,
bordering on erotic.”
    “ Got it, no ball gowns and
tiaras.”
    “ You can come in whatever
you like, just as long as you remember it will be coming off at the end of the
night and you will be coming.”
    Shivers raced down her
spine.
    “ What time is the
show?”
    He took his cell phone out
of his pocket and looked. “Starts at eight, which is in three
hours.”
    “ Wow, that’s
soon.”
    He nodded, his blond hair
falling over his shoulder. “Which is why I need to get my ass in
gear.” He tucked her against him in a tight hug and then kissed the
top of her head. “I’ll see you in a little while?”
    “ Of course,” she said,
smiling back up at him.
    He planted a steamy kiss
before reluctantly letting her go. She watched as he left. Feeling
a bit giddy, she rushed into the house and called her
sister.
    “ Hey,” she said when Carrie
answered the phone.
    “ Look who crawled out of
her bitch mood,” Carrie said
sourly.
    “ Yeah, I’m sorry about
that. Forgive me?”
    Carrie huffed dramatically
into the phone. “I suppose.”
    “ Good, because I need to go
on a quick shopping spree. You down?”
    “ Be there in
ten.”
    Carrie hung up, and Amy
raced upstairs to get dressed. Tonight was going to be amazing. She
didn’t know what Christian and Amar had planned for Robert, nor did
she really care. Her only focus was on Christian. She wasn’t going
to let Robert bring
