that she actually ate her food. She seemed to enjoy
it too, if her soft moan when the first bite of creamy white sauce and pasta
hit her tongue was anything to go by. We’d both just finished eating and I was
still half hard from the sound.
    “Want to go for a walk?” I asked after I had taken care of
the bill and she had finished her wine.
    “I’d like that,” she replied.
    I held out my hand to help her to her feet. I felt the same
quick jolt of lust as we touched. Placing my hand low on her back, I led her
from the restaurant. I felt her suck in a breath as I trailed my palm over the
top of her ass.
    I dropped my hand and grabbed her fingers as we started to
walk.
    “So, I remembered where I knew you from,” I said conversationally.
    “Really? I thought last night that I had seen you before,”
she told me, stopping and looking up at my face, her brow wrinkled as if she
were still trying to place me in her memories.
    “Last weekend at Eclipse?” I asked, curious as to what her
reaction would be.
    She looked shocked for a second, her eyes widening and her
lips parting. I had the sudden urge to really shock her and kiss her until she
was breathless. But I held back.
    She turned and sat down on one of the benches that lined the
wide sidewalk. I took a seat next to her, propping my arm up to brush against
her shoulders. I saw her shiver; she wasn’t completely unaffected by me.
    “Is that why you asked me out? Because you saw me there?”
she asked.
    I debated my answer but honesty won out. “It’s one of the
reasons, yes. But not the only reason.”
    I trailed a finger along her arm and her gaze caught mine.
    “I should probably tell you, that was the first time I’ve
been to a place like that.”
    “I expected as much,” I answered with a chuckle. She had no
idea how much she had stood out at Eclipse. She had taken everything in with
wide eyes. It was one of the things that made her so irresistible to me.
    She chuckled as well and the sound of it ran over me. I had
it bad for this woman.
    “I went with a friend who goes there frequently. She was
hoping the excitement of being in that kind of an environment would make me
change my mind about sex,” she confided quietly.
    “Did it?” I couldn’t help asking.
    “I admit it was…different,” she finally said. I wasn’t
satisfied with the answer.
    “Allie?” I waited until she looked at me before I continued.
“I’ve already promised that everything you say is between us. Tell me the
truth. What did you think?”
    She sighed, a habit I was coming to realize she did when she
didn’t want to answer. “Why do you want to know?”
    It was my turn to sigh. I didn’t want to tip my hand and
tell her too soon what I wanted and scare her off but she might just walk away
now if I didn’t say something.
    But her gaze lowered to my mouth, for just a few seconds,
and when she looked back up I saw the lust there. Allie was hiding a passionate
nature behind her cool reserve. Some asshole had hurt her, maybe more than one,
and I suddenly wanted to track them all down and give them the ass kicking of their
lives.
    Protecting people was normal for me but this felt different,
raw and primal. I wanted to right the wrongs that had been done to her and the
desire hit me hard and settled deep.
    Her lips parted and her sweet breath whooshed out against my
face. I watched her carefully as I leaned in. She smelled amazing and I took a
deep breath to draw her in, enjoying the sensation of her filling my senses. I
brushed her lips gently, once and then twice, before applying a little more
pressure.
    She swayed closer and I hooked my arm loosely around her
back. Her lips were so soft and I didn’t resist the urge to trace them with my
tongue. She let out a little moan in the back of her throat and my cock jumped
to life.
    I backed off for a second, taking in her short breaths and
the pounding of her heart, revealed by the pulse beating in her neck. Her eyes
opened slowly
