“How can you know that?”
It was a fair question.They’d both been left behind, overlooked, and passed along their entire childhood.“Because they need you.Those two need you like an engine needs gasoline—just like you need them.”
She swallowed hard.“But today… I might have gone a bit too far.”
He chuckled.“Ya think?”
“The prude deserved it,” she said with a pout.
He shook his head.“Baby, if you want to flash your boobs at someone, I’m right here.”
The words weren’t even out before they turned husky.Sexual.Memories of their wedding day quickly turned to visions from last night.
Hot, steamy visions.
They hadn’t really dealt with what had happened.They hadn’t been alone since she’d sneaked out of bed.Her sisters were gone now, but Billy wasn’t really in the mood to talk.His gaze dropped helplessly to her breasts.Her chest was rising and falling in a rhythm too fast for normal respiration.
He braced his hand against the wall alongside her head.
“You were gone when I woke up this morning.”
“I had to meet my sisters.”
His cock hadn’t cared.
He settled his other hand at her waist, and his thumb brushed back and forth.Last night had been wild and crazy, too.Had she been thinking then?
They did so much better together when they didn’t think.
Leaning in, he finally did what he’d wanted to do since he’d walked into the bar hours earlier.
He kissed her.
Slowly, sexily, he melded his mouth with hers.
A shudder went through her and then a groan.The broken heel of her boot bounced off the toe of his as her hands came up to clench at his jacket.
She gave a tug, and he settled his weight against hers, trapping her against the wall.
Damn, she felt good.Her curves cushioned all his hard places.Her breasts were soft against his chest, and her thigh rubbed against the outside of his leg.
His grip tightened on her waist, and he deepened the kiss.She tasted sweet, like the chocolate donut she’d had for breakfast.Sweet and…
He sucked in a hard breath when she nipped at his bottom lip.
Sassy.
He couldn’t have stopped his hips from swinging forward if he’d tried.Her softness cradled the erection growing behind the zipper of his jeans as the kiss became hotter and hungrier.
Damn, he wanted her.Last night hadn’t been near enough.
“Roxie,” he rasped against her lips.
God, why had they broken up?
His thoughts became disjointed as her tongue slid against his.
Oh yeah.That’s right, because he’d been reckless.
