EXCERPT
Entering his building made her feet lighter. She was being carried on the
wings of euphoria, each step easier than the last. She wasn’t walking to her
future. She was running toward it. Taking a breath, she held it, and knocked
on his door.
The door opened and he stood there with his lips parted and confusion
furrowing his brow. “Jude?”
Throwing herself forward, she jumped up and wrapped her body around his
and kissed him. Then again. He kicked the door closed and held her against
it. When they parted, they remained close enough to share their panting
breaths. He said, “You’re here.” When he pressed his abs against her center
her head knocked hard on the wood and he kissed the exposed skin of her
neck where it met her shoulder.
He was strong. He was virile. “Hey,” she said, bringing his face up to see hers.
Lowering her down until her feet touched, he said, “I thought we were
meeting at the park?”
“I couldn’t wait.”
His glorious smile chose to shine on her. “I’m glad you didn’t. Do you want
to go to the bedroom?”
Giggling, she replied, “Yes, so much, but I need to talk to you first.”
“Okay.” He walked to the couch and she stared gob-smacked by his allure.
Jeans that hung low. No shirt. Boxers peeking out the top, but a V that
directed her eyes below the waistband. He was a tease as he stood there
waiting for her to join him. Sitting on the couch, he patted it. “C’mere.”
She started walking on shaky legs. As she passed the bar, she debated if she
should stay there to save her clarity. That seat next to him was tempting, but
she knew she’d be flat on her back within seconds. So she hurried to his side
and sat down. His hands were instantly on her.
