Excerpt
On
the flat screen in West’s room, the movie ends and, to be honest, I have no idea
what it was about. West watched his fingers tease and explore my body until my
skin vibrated and my blood buzzed. I, for the most part, watched West.
I
love the serious set of his jaw and the way he’d occasionally run his hand over
his golden hair. The biceps in his arm would flex as he moved and, every now
and then, his shirt would ride up, exposing his gloriously defined abs.
I’m
flat on his bed and West is propped up on his side next to me. His fingers
sweep across the plane of my stomach and his deep blue eyes follow an imaginary
line like an artist would a paintbrush along a canvas. “You’re the sexiest damn
thing. Jesus, your skin is soft.”
West
shuts his eyes and I suck in a breath. This is dangerous. Very dangerous. My
lips are still swollen from earlier. Kissing West is addictive. It propels me
to want to kiss and touch more and travel with him to unknown and hidden
places. And I secretly begin to imagine the type of kissing that involves
darkness and covers and whispers.
His
fingers slip under the already tucked up fabric of my shirt and he gently skims
the trim of my bra. Heat explodes throughout my body and my breathing hitches.
It’s frightening how I react to one simple caress.
Not
good. Not good at all. Actually, it’s very good and I all but purr with his
hands on my bare skin, but I need to think. I need air.
Without
warning, I go to roll off the bed, but in lightning-fast movements, West
captures my waist and draws me back to him. “Where are you going?”
“You’re
going to kiss me again,” I say a little breathlessly.
“Yes, I am.”
