“Because you turned your back on me when I walked over,” I snap.
A muscle in his jaw ticks. “That wasn’t… Prez was watching. I had to play it cool.”
“Careful of being seen with me?”
His gaze locks on mine, hot and unflinching. “Careful of making you conspicuous. You don’t get it, Juniper. There’s shit going on with the club that’s dangerous, and it’s got nothing to do with you. Butyou? You’re the one thing I don’t want dirty hands touching. I’ll do anything to protect what we have. Protect us.”
My heart speeds up. “Is there anus?”
That’s all it takes. Two strides and my back hits the counter. His big hands cage my face, rough palms, but a surprisingly gentle hold.
“I’ve wanted there to be an us since the first time I saw you,” he rasps. “But tonight, I’m done holding back.”
Heat floods my entire body. I grab his shirt, yanking him down, and our mouths come together in a hungry, desperate kiss. He tastes like spiced cider. Kieran lifts me onto the counter, forcing my thighs open with his hips.
“Fuck, baby, I missed this. Missed you. Your sweet kisses taste just like trouble and sugar.”
“Then stop talking and…”
“Careful.” His mouth curves against mine, wicked. “You tell me to stop talking, I’ll put this filthy mouth to better use. Show you who’s boss.”
“Is that a promise?” I wink at him. His eyes flash.
“You better believe it, gorgeous.”
I shiver as he drags me off the counter and carries me to the bedroom, tossing me onto the bed like I weigh nothing. He kisses me again and then strips off my T-shirt. I’m not wearing a bra and he groans.
“You are fucking perfect.” He kisses down the side of my neck, his big calloused hands palming my breasts, my nipples hard. He dips his head, pushing them together and flicking his tongue over them as I tilt my head back, trying in vain to steady my breathing. Taking each one in his mouth, he licks and sucks until I’m arching back on the bed, gripping the sheets.
He kisses lower, then pulls my shorts down in one motion.
“Spread your legs for me. Now. Don’t make me ask twice.”
My body obeys before my brain can catch up, knees falling open.
“That’s it,” he says, voice low and lethal. “Goddamn, look at you. Dripping wet already, just for me.”
When his mouth hits my swollen clit, I nearly arch off the bed. He pins my hips down with his hands, tongue ruthless, devouring me like a starving man.
“Sweetest pussy I’ve ever tasted,” he groans into me. “And it’s all mine. You hear me, sweetness? No one else gets this. Ever.”
“Kieran…” I gasp, clenching the sheets.
“Say it.” His voice is a command between licks. “Say who owns this tight little pussy.”
“You do.” The words rip out of me on a cry. “You, Kieran.”
He growls in satisfaction and pushes two thick fingers inside, curling them just right. “Good girl. Knew you’d learn fast.”
Pleasure tears through me, sharp and relentless. When I come hard, gasping his name, he doesn’t stop. He pushes me higher, keeps me there, until I’m trembling and desperate to feel him inside me.
Then he’s up, shoving his jeans down, and his enormous cock springs free. My mouth waters.
“I think I have some condoms in the nightstand. Bachelorette party for a friend. It’s been a long time.”
He reaches over, finds a condom, and rolls it down over his thick length.
“You want this cock?” he asks, stroking himself, green eyes dark.
