His touch is light as he sweeps my braid out of his way, causing goosebumps to break out along the skin he touches. My breath hitches as he leans forward to place a kiss on the side of my neck. Try as I might to keep my attention on the dart board, when he places another kiss on the crook between my neck and shoulder, I can’t stop from tilting my head to give him more access. His hands wrap around my sides, one gripping onto my waist and holding me to him, while the other moves to spread out on my side, his deft fingers teasing along the bottom of my bra.
“Are you trying to distract me?” My voice comes out breathier than I had intended, but I’m too busy trying to keep what’s left of my attention on the machine. Dominik chuckles as he presses himself into me, not even trying to hide the fact that he is very clearly turned on. My own desire surprises me as it pulses through me. He trails his nose along my shoulder and up my neck, stopping to nip my ear lobe before answering.
“Maybe I just couldn’t resist not touching you any longer.” I suck in a deep breath, focusing on the board and not letting myself overthink anything else as I release my first dart. The low curse he lets out when he pulls back to check out my shot causesme to laugh. Before he can try anything else, I’m releasing my next dart and hitting my mark. I just need to hit a three to win.
When I lift the dart up though, Dominik moves his hand to the small amount of exposed skin on my waist and traces the path along the top of my shorts. He runs his fingers along the front of my waist until he gets to the button before moving them in a trail back to my hip. Kissing behind my ear once more before he whispers in a hoarse voice.
“Or maybe I’m just hoping you’ll somehow miss this last shot just so I can take you to dinner and give me a chance to kiss you again.”
“So, if I win, you aren’t going to kiss me again?”
“I would kiss you again in a heartbeat if you asked.” I reach my free hand to tangle with his other hand that’s still resting on my ribs. Looking back at the dart board, I weigh my options. On one hand, I’m intrigued at the idea of dinner. However, on the other hand, it’s past midnight and ending this game would wrap up the night.
I don’t want this night to end.With that, a thought runs through my mind. I glance at him over my shoulder.
“I want to change my prize.”
“To what?” Bracing myself for rejection, I decide to push forward.
“If I win, we leave the bar and go to my place.”
“Deal.” He doesn’t step away, but he does move his hand back to rest on my hip and gives me the chance to actually focus.
I turn my attention back to the dart board, not dropping my free hand from where it rests on top of his, I let the dart go flying. He drops his head into the crook of my neck and groans.
“That is insanely sexy.”
“Paige and I were in a dart league back home, so we got really good.” I shrug lightly, as I lean back into his hold. Dominik huffs out a laugh.
“Dart League?” I turn to face him, forcing him to rest both hands on my hips. Placing my palms on his chest as I tilt my head back to meet his gaze. Seeing as how I’m just shy of five foot four, he towers over me. He is trying his hardest to hold back his laugh.
“Yes. A Dart League!” I give him a dramatic sigh. “Paige and I usually went to this bar, which was only a five-minute walk from our college campus up in Vermont, they had this offer for half off beer on Thursday nights,butyou had to play darts. So, we jokingly signed up for dart night and ended up being a good team.” I beamed up at him as he slowly shakes his head with a small smirk on his face.
“I don’t know why I’m not more surprised by that.” His hands move from my hips, sliding back until they’re resting just above my ass.
“I won.” Biting the side of my lip, I watch him closely as his gaze drops to my lips.
“You did.” One of his hand’s snakes up, gently pulling my lip free and running his thumb along it before meeting my gaze again. His heated gaze is enough to have me squeezing my legs together, which is also something he doesn’t miss.
“We should check on Paige and Garrett before we go.” He nods but doesn’t let me go yet as he watches me closely before speaking up.
“Which prize do you want? My number or…” He trails off. Warmth spreads through my chest at the fact that he is offering me a chance to change my mind. Moving my hands to the top of his shoulders and pushing up onto my tiptoes, I lean into him until my mouth is only a couple inches away from his.
“Ifyouwant to, I would like my second prize.” He’s nodding before I even finish my sentence.
“What I want is to give you both prizes.” With that I don’t even think it through, I just kiss him. I had been wondering ifkissing him again would be different. Would there be fireworks and everything else I had felt before?
The moment our lips touch, he takes over. His hand wraps around to the back of my neck, making me forget everything around us. He traces his tongue along my bottom lip, begging for entrance. Which I give him and don’t even fight the moan his tongue draws as he dives in.
The way his mouth moves against mine has me wondering what it would feel like if his mouth moved lower.
I break away, gasping to catch my breath as he continues to hold me to him while kissing along my jaw and down the side of my neck. He plants a gentle kiss on my lips one last time before pulling his head back to look at me. Swallowing deeply, I tilt my head toward the door.
Yeah… still fireworks.
“Should we tell the two creepers at the bar that we’re leaving, or do you wanna try your hand at another round of darts?” He shakes his head, gaze dipping down to my lips before he answers.
“I definitely don’t need to lose again tonight. Lead the way.” He kisses me once more before stepping back and taking my hand.
