When the taxi pulled up to the curb, he grew anxious, but he had to wake her in order to reach his wallet. After paying the driver and quickly counting to ten, he opened the door and they hopped out. "Sinclair you seem really tired. Maybe we should head back."
"No, I'll be fine." She yawned and stretched.
Chance draped his arm around her and they walked. "Okay, Cinderella, we'll have you home before midnight."
"So, if I'm Cinderella, are you my Prince Charming?"
"Maybe not Prince Charming, but the Frog Prince."
"Hmm…Frog Prince. So, I have to kiss you to break the curse?"
Chance stopped. He slowly backed Sinclair up against a brick wall and stared at her lips. He wanted to kiss her. For about six months, he'd wanted to. "You have to kiss me to break the spell. That's true."
Her breathing sped up to match his. "What spell?"
He couldn't play the game any longer. "Sinclair, will you stop me?"
"Stop you? Chance, I—" Her words halted.
Chance's hands explored Sinclair's body. Slowly, he dragged them up and down along her butt, thighs and back. He placed his hands on either side of her head and intertwined his fingers in her locks. "Sinclair. Yes or no."
"Ye—"
Chance didn't wait for her to finish. Her mouth opened to his. The warmth of her tongue increased his desire. This time, he didn't count to ten or hide it. He pressed his to body hers and against the stone behind her.
Petite hands grabbed at the back of his shirt, pulling him closer.
