Forbidden In-Law
Page 8
She tilted her head, and the orchid-y notes of her perfume wafted through. Her scent inebriated him, and he almost lost his train of thought. He curled and uncurled his fists, unwilling to give in and remove that silly hipster hat and thrust his fingers into her hair. “How do I know you don’t say you’re inexperienced to every hooker?”
“Trust me, I’m not inexperienced with women. Not by far.” He scooted closer, and didn’t resist sliding one of his legs between hers. “I only meant I never had to pay for one.”
The air shifted around them, and he doubted he could blame the smoke-filled bikers screaming at the bartender. There was something thick and ecstatic swirling between them. He inhaled. Suddenly, his jeans were so freaking tight.
She crossed her arms over her chest. “I’m surprised how insightful you are to have noticed me.”
“I reckon I’m very intuitive for a bloke,” he whispered.
“Not to mention cocky.”
Screw it. Giving in to a growing yearning to touch her, he ran his fingers along her arm, and started stroking her with a tenderness that surprised even himself. She sucked in her breath, and he wrestled the desire zapping through his veins. Using his index finger, he drew an invisible pattern on her flesh, and noticed a trail of goose bumps on her satiny skin.
“Three hundred an hour.” She made a motion to withdraw her arm but he gripped her elbow with his fingers. “And you have to play by my rules,” she said, glancing down at his hand.
“Of course.” He loosened the hold, slowly, until he no longer caressed her.
She shifted on the stool. “No foul play, no doing anything I don’t agree with, no crazy shit.”
He crossed his fingers over his heart, without a blink. “Agreed.”
She toyed with the edges of the purse perched on her lap. “No backdoor smashing.”
We’ll see about that. Every functioning organ in his body halted, every one but his heart pounding in his ears. And his cock, throbbing in anticipation. The image of the sensual woman in front of him, bending over a couch while he took her from behind intoxicated his brain. “Now that’s a shame.” He managed to string the words together.
She crossed her arms. “That’s non-negotiable.”
“All right with me.”
A small sigh flew past her Angelina Jolie lips. “Good. And, of course, condoms.”
No problem there. “I’ll wear condoms.”
“Great. Do you have any questions?”
He grinned, entranced by her cherry-red lips. Damn it. That woman and sex went together like a hammer and a nail. “What’s your policy on open mouth kissing?”
She drew back, perhaps surprised at his question. “I-I guess that’s fine. But if you don’t want—”
“Oh no, sweet face. I have plans for this mouth.” He lifted his index finger and outlined her lips, starting from the bottom and working its way to the top lip. Her sultry mouth trembled a bit. Suppressing a groan burning in his lungs, he tipped her chin up. “My hotel it is then?”
