He grabbed her hands and raised them high, pinning her wrists to the top of the car in a powerful grip.
She was lost.
His kiss consumed her.He demanded everything she had to offer, then he asked for more.
With only the slightest hesitation, she gave it, pressing herself against him, opening her mouth wider.He tasted of determination.He consumed her.
Connor inserted a thigh between her legs and she rode him, seeking, rubbing, grinding.
With his free hand, he brought her more fully against him.Right here, she was close to coming.
As quickly as he’d fanned the burn, he pulled back, ending the kiss and releasing her wrists.
“That’s a hint of what’s to come later,” he said.
She still couldn’t think when he helped her inside the car.“That was in public,” she said when they were on the road again.
“Yeah.And I made sure there were no kids outside and no one was watching.I’ll always protect you.”
To busy herself, she dug a lipstick out of her purse and flipped down the visor for its mirror.
“Keep it up.Just makes me want to kiss you again.”
Her bigger concern was that she wanted it, too.
“Where are we meeting your mother?”he asked when they were exiting the neighborhood.
“I figured we’d go by her house.”She programmed the address into the GPS.
“She knows I’m with you?”
“Yes.And she’s dying to know why.”
“Anything I need to know about your mother?Does she still go by Bertrand?”
“She does.Dad told her to change it back to her maiden name.Until then she was going to.But because Dad didn’t want an ex-Mrs.Bertrand out there, she decided to keep it.That about sums up her personality.Other than that, she has a dog that thinks it’s royalty.Fair warning, it bit Erin.”
“This is my lucky weekend.”He looked at her.“What kind of dog?”
“Pomeranian.”
“I have no idea what that is.”
“Purse dog.But she’s really adorable.”
“Other than the biting thing,” he added.
“She has little teeth.”
“Anything else?”
“That about covers it.”
“Except for the part about the DNA connection to you.”
She smiled.“There is that.”
Helene met them at the door, holding Diva in her arms.The dog was wearing a pretty ribbon that was the same hot pink color as her mother’s dress.
