Brooke could live here. I could fix her up with Eric.”
That ’s one worry I can scratch off the list. I guess she doesn’t have any romantic feelings for Eric after all. She seems upset since I told her I’ve never wanted a relationship. I feel an urgency to clarify that, so I pull over on the side of the road, my heart pounding in my chest.
She immediately looks at me. “Why are we stopping?”
“You seemed upset after I said I’ve never wanted a relationship. I should’ve been clearer in expressing that I felt that way in the past, not now.”
“OK,” she says while picking at the hem of her dress.
I’ve made her nervous. “I like you a lot, Skyla. I’d like to see where this can go.”
“I like you, too . I’ve tried to show you,” she says softly.
“ You have, Skyla, and I feel like a jackass for pushing you away, so I wanted to explain what I meant about a relationship. I don’t want to punish myself anymore and miss out on a chance with you.”
“ You give the impression you were an assassin or something. If you’ll let me, I’ll be here whenever you’re ready to tell me what’s made you think so badly of yourself. Then I’ll be here to tell you that you’re a great person.”
I cup the side of her face. “You’re amazing, Skyla, so damn amazing.” Even in the dim light of the car, her blue eyes shine up at me. She leans over and parts her lips, urging me in. Our kiss ignites quickly, our mouths crashing against each other as the sexual tension swells between us.
I’ve always been rough with women. They did what I wanted, when I wanted and where I w anted. I could’ve ravished Skyla and tossed her aside in a flash, but her kindness and honesty makes me want to do better. We kiss for several minutes, and when I let her go, we’re both breathing hard. She’s too sweet for me.
“ Dammit, Skyla. I fuck. I don’t date.”
“I disagree. Tonight’s been a great date. You could’ve fucked me when I was drunk, but you chose not to. You grabbed my wrists earlier today, and I was definitely reaching for something … something hard .” She tries to be serious but starts giggling.
“Shit, Skyla. You have a dirty mouth. Now that I’ve allowed myself to be close to you, I want all of you.”
“That turns me on,” she says.
An arousing look comes my way, and I swear I’m ready to spank her ass. I’m trying to behave. “I’m getting the impression that you’re not as innocent as I thought, so I promise I’ll have you soon.”
“Swear?”
I believe this is my payback for what I’ve been doing to her the last couple of weeks. I shake my head and smirk as I pull back onto the road. I’d like to tell her to quit being a tease, but I have a feeling she’s more than willing to mess around. There’s no way it compares to how badly I want her.
“ I should go on to my house since it’s getting late. Can I take a rain check for the walk on the beach?” she asks.
“Of course. Did I say something to upset you? ”
“Not at all . It’s just … after that kiss, it’d be dangerous for me to be near your home. I don’t think I’d want to leave, and we both work tomorrow.”
“That’s probably a good idea. I wouldn’t want you to leave, either. I want to take my time when I get the opportunity to pleasure you.” I bring her hand up to my mouth and kiss it. I glance over, and even in the dim light, I see she’s blushing.
We’re bot h quiet the rest of the way. I pull into her driveway and look at her for several seconds. I want to take her home and tuck her into my bed.
“I’ll be home all eveni ng tomorrow, or any other day this week if you feel like going on that walk,” I say.
S he shows me that cute smile again and kisses my cheek. For the first time that I can remember, I’m looking forward to what tomorrow brings.
