Who am I to say no to an offer like that?
Skip being careful. I match her voracious lips and pull her closer to me.
A first kiss should be sweet and gentle, but it seems ours is just going to get more and more ravenous until we ignite right here in the front yard.
THE FRONT YARD.
Greer might be enjoying this kiss now, but will she when she realizes that we’re in the most public place ever?
Before she intoxicates my brain again, I gently pull back.
Her grasping hands try to pull me back to her tempting lips.
“Do you want me to carry you inside so we can keep kissing in private?” I’m barely holding on to my self-control. A man can only take so much. “Greer.”
“Kiss me,” she mumbles.
“Sweetheart, I don’t know if that’s a good idea. We might make Mrs. Florintine faint.”
Greer’s head pops up as her eyes widen. “Oh my.”
“Exactly my sentiment.”
She flops her head onto my chest like it’s too heavy for her to hold up. “Are there any people watching us?”
I glance around. “Not that I can see.” But knowing my neighbors, they’re probably looking through their curtains.
“That was some kiss.”
You can say that again, but I need to tread lightly. “Yes, it was.”
“Do you mind that I accosted you in your front yard?”
“I believe we’re in your yard. But any time and any place you want to accost me, feel free.”
Her cheeks turn even pinker. “Thank you for breakfast.”
I lift her chin up so that she’s staring at me. “Thank you for the best kiss of my life.”
Her mouth drops open, and her eyes get smoky.
“If you keep looking at me like that, I’m going to forget that I’m a gentleman and toss you over my shoulder.”
“You wouldn’t.”
“Oh really?”
“What would Creed think?”
That boy would probably cheer me on. “Do you want to kiss me again?”
“Yes, but I should go inside.”
“You should.” But I don’t let go of her.
“It’s going to be very hard to do with your arms around me.”
She’s so cute. “Your hands are still locked in my hair. I think you need to let go first.”
