Midnight Craving: Midnight Vice, Book 1 by Lolita Lopez

it behind my
    ear to join the rest of my ponytail, he played with it, rubbing the strand between his two fingers as if he’d
    never experienced the texture of hair. I found myself wishing I’d spent the extra bucks for a salon-quality
    conditioner.
    “I do and you’re right. I apologize.”
    Huh? “What for?” I suddenly envisioned those fingers playing with my nipple instead of my hair.
    Forget the conditioner, think scented body lotion. The image was so intense, I wanted nothing more than to
    take his hand and bring it to my breast. How I kept from grabbing his hand, I’ll never know. “Why are you
    apologizing?”
    “For staring at you. I apologize for my rudeness.”
    Unnerved by his words, I sat up and tried to position my body as I’d seen countless swimsuit models
    pose in glossy magazines. Yet instead of stretching my torso and legs in an alluring way, I ended up sitting
    cross-legged like a big kid. A real turn on—not.
    “Oh, were you?” Argh! Stupid comeback, especially since I’d already accused him of staring at me.
    “Yes, but you can hardly blame me.”
    “I wasn’t blaming you, but I’d be interested in knowing why I can’t. I mean, since you’re apologizing.”
    He took off his glasses and, like in all those cliché romance books my mom used to read, our eyes met
    and a sizzle passed between us. “The answer is very simple. What man could not look at such a tantalizing
    sight?”
    Sure it was a corny line, but I fell for him right then and there. Off the deep end, over the cliff, dived in
    head first and all those other sayings people use when they fall in love at first sight. As if he could read my
    thoughts, he leaned closer and placed a feather-light kiss on my lips. Yet, although his touch barely brushed
    against my mouth, the result rivaled the explosion of a nuclear bomb between my legs. My body’s
    temperature jumped sky high, matching the burn of the sun on my shoulders.
    “What are you doing tonight?”
    I knew a leading line when I heard it and I heard this one loud and clear. “The same thing I’m going to
    be doing in about fifteen minutes.”
    His eyebrows dipped toward his nose and he cocked his head to the side. “And what would that be?”
    “Having the best sex of my life.”
