Alexandria walks over to me and looks me up and down. I straighten my shoulders and glare at her, but then she surprises me. She smiles, then tilts her head slightly.
“I can see why he fell in love with you…” She glances back at Myles, then back to me. “Please don’t break his heart. He’s one of my best friends.” She gives me another smile before walking back inside. Okay…Maybe I hate her a little less now.
Myles walks over to the outdoor bar. He steps behind the empty patio bar and grabs a glass down from the shelf then reaches under the counter. He pulls out a bottle of bourbon and gestures for me to sit in one of the chairs.
“Want one?”
“Sure.”
He pours each of us a glass then comes to sit next to me. He places the glass on the bar top in front of me, then takes my hand as I reach for the glass.
“Mina…” He brings my hand to his lips and kisses the back of my hand. His lips stay pressed against my skin as his eyes close.
“Do you love me?” I ask as I pull my hand away from his. Alexandria asked me if I was the mystery woman he had fallen in love with.
We sit in silence as he takes a long sip from his glass.
“Yes,” he finally says. He finishes the rest of his drink and sets down the glass. He turns to me and spins my stool to place his hands on my bare thighs just below the edge of the dress.
He leans forward and places his forehead against mine. The scent of his cologne is exactly like I remember from that night. I close my eyes and breathe him in.
“Of course I love you, Lumina.” His fingertips press into my thighs. The sensation is causing a warmth to spread throughout my body. His lips barely brush mine as he leans further against me.
“Then why didn’t you stay?” I whisper against his lips.
“Because Sunshine…I’m not enough. You deserve so much more than me.”
“Myles. You are enough! You’re all I’ve ever wanted. Ifelt it that first night when you kissed me. It felt like everything fell into place. I felt whole for the first time in my life.” I take his hand and place it over my heart. His eyes open and stare at where his hand is pressed against my skin. He can feel my heart racing beneath his fingertips.
“You’re the only person who has made my heartbeat this wildly before. I don’t deserve more than you, Myles, because there isn’t any more. You’re everything I could ever want or need! Why can’t you see that?”
I watch his eyes pinch closed even tighter as his hand begins to slide up my thigh, and the other slides to the back of my neck. His fingers twist into my hair as he crashes his lips to mine. The groan he lets out as his tongue slips past my lips runs straight to my clit. The skirt of my dress is being bunched up as his hand slides higher up my thigh.
“Mina…” His eyes are still closed as he breaks the kiss and tilts his head to the sky. “We need to go.”
“What? Why?”
His eyes open as he pulls me almost fully onto his lap. The dress is pushed up and exposes my ass as I straddle his lap. He cups my face as he barely lets his lips touch mine. Between our panting breaths, the feeling of his cock pulsing beneath me, and the electric sparks bouncing between our bodies, it’s all making my head spin.
“Because Sunshine. If we stick around here much longer, I’m going to fuck you on this bar…and I don’t think Cash would like that very much,” he chuckles.
“Your place or mine?” I ask. His eyes darken as he slowly pulls his face away from mine.
“I’m not going to make it that long, Mina.” His fingers move my thong to the side to slip his fingersinside me. A full-body tremor runs along my spine. I didn’t realize how much my body missed him.
“Fuck, Myles.” My body tenses as his fingers curl inside me. He presses his lips against my neck, and I can feel his warm breath against my skin as he laughs.
“Judging from how soaked you are, Sunshine, I don’t think you’ll make it that long either. Let’s go!”
CHAPTER 24
Myles
Ican feel her nails pressing into my hand as I quickly weave us through the crowd to get us out of here. My heart is racing as we get closer to the door. Almost free. Almost free. Almost…
“Myles…” Cash’s voice calls from behind us. “Myles!”
Fuck!
