Excerpt
A light sound takes me out of my own head. I look to my left, and what I see robs me of my breath. I stand taller, suddenly unable to remember my own thoughts. A profile of porcelain skin, a sharp nose, andâJesusâa full red lip claim my attention. Hair the color of amber piled high on her head, soft tendrils frame her face. I want to let it down, comb my fingers through it, see if itâs as soft as it looksâ¦and I keep looking, because itâs impossible not to.
The smooth lines of her nape are set in grace, my tongue already mapping the perfect path down her skin. My eyes keep going because thereâs no stopping them now. Moving lower to the dress, the color is a deep red, the neckline plunging. Being six foot one has its advantages. Even from the side, I can see the dip of cleavage. I lick my lips, already begging for a taste, wanting to know if sheâs as sweet as she looks. Then I continue on, because wild horses couldnât drag me away. I need to see more.
Unfortunately, as far as skin goes, the rest is covered by the floor-length gown. Whoever she is, sheâs stunning, and I canât stop staring. She has pleasure and sin written all over her. Iâm hard now. My body ready to do what is instinctual to me.
For the first time inâ¦well, forever, I want to be reckless. I want to throw her over my shoulder and drag her to the nearest closet. Sift through all that red, lush fabric and find her pussy. Put my mouth there, sweep my tongue across her clit. Drag an orgasm out of her that makes her see stars, makes her see no one but me. I laugh under my breath because that would be a first.
As if she knows what Iâm thinking, she turns my way, and Iâm knocked on my ass. My first thought: I want to get down on my hands and knees and thank God for this gift from heaven. Jesus. If I thought she was gorgeous from the side, head-on, sheâs exquisite. Her eyes are a moss green. No, noâthat description will not do. Because that doesnât begin to describe soft sage peppered with golden yellow flecks. Theyâre clear andâ¦wait, vulnerable? Orâ¦I donât know, apprehensive? How can a creature so beautiful be so scared? The million-dollar questionâor in my case, the billionaire-dollar question.
When I realize Iâve been staring too long, I force a word from my lips. Any word will do at this point. âHello.â
Just brilliant, Jace.
âHello,â she says back, almost reluctantly. âCan I help you with something?â
âPardon me?â
She gestures with one hand, long fingernails painted red to match her dress. Red: itâs a bold color, feistyâdaring, even. I wonder if sheâs adventurous behind closed doors, if she likes to fuck on desks, up against walls. I wonder if she enjoys taking it in what Iâm sure is a perfectly curved ass. I sure as hell want to find out. Iâd relish the opportunity to have her mile-long legs wrapped around my waist, grinding on my cock.
âYou were staring at me.â
And thinking salacious thoughts, but I wonât mention that.
âI was?â It comes out like a question when there is absolutely no doubt itâs the truth.
The corner of her mouth turns up, but it doesnât match her eyes. What is that I see? I want to figure it out, and then I want to take it away for her.
âDid you have a question?â
âA question?â Did I even ask a question? Why is my brain not computing? I never waver, but this woman is throwing me off my game.
Maybe she can read my thoughts. Perhaps she knows the question inquiring minds want to know: How does she like to fuck?
Iâve been silent too long, imagining all the different ways I could bring her to orgasm, and now it looks like sheâs holding back a laugh. I want to hear what her laugh sounds like. Is it high and melodic or low and raspy?
âYes. Did you have one?â
I can feel the crease slash my forehead. âIâmâ¦â
An idiot. Confused. Tongue-tied by your beauty.
Yeah, thatâll do.
Her eyebrows lift. âYouâreâ¦â
I clear my throat and step into my confidence once again. Then I edge closer, the scent of something floral floating under my nose. âTongue-tied by your beauty.â
She actually laughs, and here I thought I was smoother than that. But hey, I made her laugh, so point for me.
