“I’m looking forward to that.” Jinx smiled up at him; he swore he couldn’t breathe for a moment. Her smile lit up the whole room. Jinx went from pretty to dazzling. His whole body responded to her.
Moving them farther to the back of the club, Drake pulled her into an empty alcove. Jinx looked around them confused. “What are we doing over here?”
“I…” Damn it, his words weren’t going to make any sense. He just wanted to get her alone. Now he didn’t know what to say to her. Jinx’s scent was a soft floral mixed with his own soap. It was such an odd mix but it worked, driving him a little crazy. Ah hell, talking was overrated.
Leaning down, Drake kissed her soft lips. Jinx tasted of the sweet berry wine she had been drinking, and another flavor that was all her own. He couldn’t get enough of her. She returned his kiss for a moment, moaning with need and wrapping her arms around his neck. Lowering his hands to cup her ass, Drake brought her up against his heavy throbbing cock. The moment his hands traveled to her ass, Jinx broke the kiss with a gasp, pushing at his chest to get him to let her go.
“Drake, what are you doing?”
He kept their bodies close, “Kissing you.”
“Yeah, I noticed. We can’t be doing this.”
Frowning, he moved back a little. “Why not?”
Jinx shook her head like she was trying to clear it. “I’ve got a rule about messing around with people I work with—I don’t do it.”
“Are you denying that you’re attracted to me?” The fog of desire was fading, and he remembered that he too had the same rule, and he was breaking it. But for Jinx, he would make an exception to that rule. There was just something about her that pulled at him.
“I do find you attractive, but I just broke things off with my boyfriend. I don’t want to rush into anything so quickly. That would be a mistake.”
Drake knew she was right. They werecoworkers, and she did just take some kind of break from her boyfriend. She needed time to decide what she wanted. As much as he wanted to explore where things would take them, he had to try to give her that. He needed to figure out his own feelings regarding her too.
Drake stepped back from her, or he might be tempted to grab her and prove to both of them that rules were meant to be broken. “I think we need to go somewhere to talk about this.”
Jinx shook her head. “There’s nothing to talk about. Come on, do you really want a relationship or just a one night stand? From what I hear, you’re a player. I’m not like that. I can only be with someone sexually if I have an emotional attachment to them.”
He considered himself a real bachelor and enjoyed many women with no strings attached. For some reason, hearing her call him a player made him furious. Drake took another step away from her.
“If that’s how you really see me, then I guess we don’t have anything to discuss.” He turned, walking away. As he went to the bar, Drake grabbed his beer and guzzled it down. He could feel her eyes on him and wanted to strike back at her for thinking the worst of him. He turned to the big-boobed blonde on his right and gave her his best panty melting smile. “Hey there beautiful, how are you doing this evening?”
The blonde batted her eyelashes at him and leaned forward giving him a better view of her assets. “Better now that you’re here.”
“Actually, I was about to leave for somewhere a little less crowded.”
She smiled up at him. “I could keep you company.”
“Now that’s a great idea.” He motioned her to move toward the entrance of the club, all the while fighting his instincts to look back at Jinx. Maybe the blonde would help him get his mind off the pixie of a girl who was totally wrong for him.
