lips are so close I can feel his breath on my ear. “I promise I’ll give you the ride of your life.”
I’ve suddenly forgotten how to breathe. His close proximity and erotic imagery has thrown me for a loop. No one has ever spoken to me like this before. His fingers skim over the exposed flesh of my arms, heat instantly spreads throughout my body pooling in my center. My nipples tighten and strain against my bra, my imagination runs wild with images of us naked and covered in sweat. I’ve never had this kind of reaction to a man before. Sure, I’ve been turned on, but not like this. This is entirely different. It’s all consuming lust at its finest.
He presses his nose to the base of my neck and inhales deeply. “Oh , angel, you smell good enough to eat.”
Before I can stop myself, I take the opportunity to breath in his cologne. He smells like fresh air, and sunshine. Without warning, he backs away from me. My body instantly mourns the loss of his heat.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t even introduce myself . My name is, Adam Stone.” He holds his hand out toward me.
“I’m Andrea Harris , but everyone calls me, Andy.” I place my hand in his, desperate for another touch. He brings my hand to his sensual mouth and places a soft kiss to my knuckles. No one has ever done that to me before, it’s such an old world gesture, but it makes me feel like a giddy schoolgirl. Adam lowers our hands, but doesn’t let go. Instead, he entwines our fingers. His thumb begins making slow circles over the palm of my hand. I feel like I’m on fire. Heat radiates off this man in waves.
“You shouldn’t be wa ndering out here alone, Andy, it’s dangerous.”
The only thing that’s dangerous is my rising hormone levels. If I don’t get them under control soon , I won’t be held accountable for my actions. I compose myself long enough to answer him. “I’m not alone anymore, I’m with you.”
See I can flirt, maybe not on Kelsey’s level , but I can still hold my own. Adam licks his lips, and leans closer to me. The sight of his tongue causes my mind to wonder what it would feel like to have this man between my thighs. Ugh, Kelsey’s right, I need to get laid.
“And what if I’m dangerous?”
At least I’d die with a smile on my face .
Adam tosses his head back in laughter. The sound is like music to my ears and I’m in awe of how the action softens his features.
“Oh god, did I say that out loud?” One look at his beautiful face confirms my worst fear.
“Someone needs to put warning labels on beer bottles .” I shake my head and try to dispel my embarrassment.
“Relax , angel, you’re in no danger from me, but it’s still not safe for a young woman to wander out here in the dark.”
He’s probably right, in my drunken state I could end up lost in the woods or something. “Your right, I should probably head back inside. I’m sure my friends are worried about me.” As the words leave my lips, the realization hits me that I may never see this man again.
What is the matter with me? For all I know this man is married with five kids or he’s some crazed psychopath .
“It was a pleasure meeting you, Andy, and we can take a rain check on that ride.”
My cheeks are instantly flooded with h eat. I’m not sure which ride he’s referring to, but I know which one I’d prefer. I flash him what I hope is a sexy smile. “It was nice meeting you too, and I’ll definitely be taking you up on your offer.” My bold statement is rewarded with a smile that could light up a room.
“I’m going to hold you to that, stay out of trouble, angel.” With reluctance, he releases my hand and walks toward a group of men.
Good god, that man is just as breathtaking from behind. It takes every ounce of will power I possess not to drop to my knees and thank god for making such an amazing male specimen. I quickly make my way back into the bar. I order another beer and begin my search for my best friends.
