Finally, though, Jocelyn settled back on her heels, her breathing heavy, her skin flushed, and her pretty brown eyes heavy-lidded. Godsdamn, the way she was looking up at me—half-confused, half-satisfied, all-aroused—made me want to hoist her over my shoulder and carry her up to the room I’d just checked into.
I lifted my hand to her chin, the callused pad of my thumb brushing over her swollen lower lip.
“See, Kitten?” I murmured. “Thatwas a kiss.”
She swayed against me as she made a noise, which might’ve intended to be a word. Suddenly, she thrust herself upright and twisted to look behind her.
When I realized why she was scanning the bar, my lips curled up on one side again. “He’s not here.”
“Wha?” She blinked, then shook her head. “I mean, who?”
“The guy who was bothering you.” I checked back through my senses, which I hadn’t been able to turn off, even when all my focus had been on Jocelyn’s lips. “He got the message and left somewhere around the time you decided to suck on my tongue.”
To my surprise, the little female flushed and dropped her gaze to my chest. I smelled her embarrassment, and one of my brows rose in confusion. She wasashamed?
“Hey.” I lifted her chin again, brushing my thumb over her lip, just because I could. But Jocelyn kept her gaze locked on my chest. “Look at me, Kitten.”
I couldfeelher reluctance to drag her gaze back up to mine, but she did it, even as she began to chew on her lower lip. Did she have any idea how arousing that was? Or was my body just reacting to the scent of her sweet cunt?
“Joss,” I murmured, caressing her lip again. “It’s alright. What are you nervous about?”
“I’ve just…” Her gaze dropped to my jaw again. “I’ve never done this before.”
My grin flashed arrogantly. “I have.”
She peeked up at me from under her lashes. “You have?” Her hands were gripping the thin strap of her purse. “The hotel, the hook-up…everything?”
Hunt. Catch. Fuck.
MyKteerrumbled in my chest, wanting to taste her again as much as I did. My thumb brushed her lip again.
“Yeah, Kitten. All the time. This is no big deal.”
“Maybe not to?—”
She bit down on whatever she was saying, dropping her chin along with her gaze, and pulling away from my hold.
My brow rose. “You want to back out? We don’t have to do this.”
“No, I—” She took a deep, shuddering breath, still staring at my chest. “I want this. I want this,” she repeated in a whisper.
Fuck yeah, she wanted this. I could smell how much she wanted this…and for the first time, I wondered if she was wearing panties, for her arousal to be hitting me this hard. That little red dress had a tiny skirt, and I realized I was already reaching for her ass to feel for myself…
I was a sucker for a nice round ass on a female, and Jocelyn was everything I loved. Round ass, big tits, big eyes, and legs that wentallthe way up.
Everyone’s got legs that go all the way up, idiot. That’s how legs work.
Yeah, but Jocelyn’s wentall the wayup, with the curve ofwhere they met her ass just hidden by the hem of that red miniskirt.
You’re horny as fuck, dude. Get her up to the room, take the edge off.
Right.
Right. It had been a while since I’d gotten laid; that probably explained why I was reacting so strongly to Jocelyn being in my arms. But first, I had to be certain she was still on board.
“Joss…” I forced myselfnotto reach for her, to pull her back. Instead, I cleared my throat, my fingers curling into fists. “Kitten, you have to besure. That agreement on the app means shit if you’ve changed your mind.”
I watched her sneak a glance around the bar. Did she realize how many people were staring at her? I wasn’t the only male here who had noticed how fucking delicious she looked, all wrapped up in that tight red dress. I wanted to growl at them to mind their own fucking business—Jocelyn wasmine.
