The corners of her mouth curved in satisfaction. “I thought you always finished.”
What little restraint I’d been holding on to was ready to snap. I slid my hand up her back and curled my fingers into her shirt. I ran my nose along her jaw. “Oh, trust me. I always finish. You just have me rethinking my priorities right now. You can’t provoke a man like that and expect me not to want to follow through with that threat.”
She laughed. “Pretty sure you’re the one who started this.”
She wasn’t wrong. But unfortunately, common sense wasn’t doing much for me at the moment. Not with her standing so close, looking at me like she was waiting for me to take this to a place that could get us both in trouble if we didn’t stop.
Without thinking, my thumb slipped under her shirt, knowing without a doubt if I kept going, she wouldn’t do a damn thing to stop me. “You have no idea how much I want you. It doesn’t matter where we are.”
I wanted to play it cool. I totally planned on keeping my hands to myself today because I didn’t do a very good job of doing that last night. But the girl was playing with fire, and even though I could get burned, I still couldn’t bring myself to step away.
She watched me slowly and carefully, as if she were thinking the same thing and was trying to talk herself out of this.
She moved closer, and when she brushed her hand along my chest, I lost the last thread of control I’d been holding on to.
I slanted my mouth over hers, jerking her into me. She didn’t stop me or pull away. Instead, she pressed her warm, soft body against mine, and I swear to God, my brain betrayed me.
Becca kissed me back fiercely, clutching my shoulder, like she needed something to hold on to. Her lips parted, and I took advantage and slid my tongue through the seam of her lips. I could taste the sweet strawberry lip gloss she wore. It was addicting, and the flavor was seared into my brain.
The fact that we were standing outside where anyone could see us should have stopped me, but I was so far gone for this girl, I couldn’t think straight.
Her hands slid up into my hair, tugging it gently.
“You are killing me,” I said, dragging my tongue along her lips. My cock was rock hard and ready for action.
It didn’t take much with this woman.
Her answer was to kiss me harder, increasing a sense of urgency down below. My greedy hands drifted higher up her back along the thin fabric of her top. Becca arched into me, like she was daring me to press things further.
I backed her up against the fence near the edge of the course. I was going further than common sense allowed. This wasn’t smart. It wasn’t safe. But I couldn’t bring myself to give a damn.
My mouth moved along her jaw, leaving a path of hot, warm kisses. Becca tilted her head back, giving me better access.
“We’re getting too carried away,” she rasped, though she didn’t sound like she wanted to stop.
“I always get carried away with you. I don’t know any other way.”
Her fingers dug into my scalp as I kissed my way back to her mouth, claiming her lips again.
Then a loud bang echoed somewhere in the distance. We both went still. She jerked back slightly, looking for where the noise came from. I glanced toward the maintenance shed. It sounded like the tractor that picked up the balls had backfired while starting. It was just enough to snap me back to reality.
“We should stop. There is someone here.”
I brushed my thumb lightly along her side. Her eyes were a little dazed, and her lips were swollen.
That caused a smile to break out across my face.
“We’ll finish this later.” I kissed the tip of her nose and shook my head in disbelief at how carried away we got.
There was a playful smirk on her face. “You sound like you have something to prove now.”
“Damn right, I do, and I plan on taking my sweet-ass time doing it.”
CHAPTER 24
BECCA
“Doyou want to tell me why I needed to come as a chaperone tonight?” Ember asked as the bouncer held the door open to the Blarney Stone. It was dark, loud, and shoulder to shoulder with people, or maybe it just felt that way because my nerves were stretched so thin.
