And it’s not working.
How can it when kissing her is setting my soul on fire and sending blood rushing to my cock and making my heart pump like it’s found a new reason to live?
“Awww, yeah, look at the man getting his game on,” someone crows nearby.
Shit.
We’re in public.
And I’m mauling my fake fiancée like a man completely out of control.
Amanda’s panting as she pulls back. “Wow,” she whispers.
Wow.
One little word that sears itself onto my heart.
Like she means it. Like she’s affected too. Like that wasn’t fake for her either.
Stop it,I order myself.Eye on the prize.
And what’s the prize?
Our families getting along. Amanda and Lorelei getting to be friends in public when they’re both here. Me not having to listen to constant complaints about home.
Seems like a dumb prize when I’m starting again to want everything I wanted and couldn’t have in high school.
“So I’ll empty the cart and get back to the car for the rest of the stuff,” I say awkwardly.
Like it’s not okay for me to kiss my fiancée in public.
I’m gonna fuck this up.
Can’t play the part without public affection.
And I can’t give her public affection without wanting more.
Yep. Totally gonna fuck this up.
Chapter 14
Amanda
I’m hot.
I’m sweaty.
I’m sticky.
And I want to pull Dane into the coatroom inside Holly & Mistletoe, where we’re having lunch with my mom and grandma, and do all kinds of things to him and with him that should not be done in public.
Zero denying it anymore. After that kiss before we put our snow globe display together, coupled with accidentally seeing him stroking himself last night, I can’t stop thinking about what it would be like to have sex with him.
Fully naked.
Skin on skin. Tasting him. Touching him. Exploring him.
The heat has fried my brain and ignited my libido.
