Leo slowly pulled her to him and took her lips in another brain cell–zapping kiss that had her fisting his shirt to keep from falling. This was crazy, and amazing, and she was happy to go insane with him. Pressing closer, she opened her mouth under his, loving the way he immediately dipped his tongue inside. With another low, sexy sound emanating from his throat, he kissed her slow and deliciously deep.
It was official. Kaydee couldn’t feel her legs. They turned to goo. This was her first time experiencing kiss-induced goo-for-legs.
She liked it. A lot.
Perhaps too much. Because there was no way she could go back to being just an acquaintance or friend to Leo.
Not after experiencing his mind-blowing kisses.
But what if he didn’t want to be more than friends?
His body stiffened up a second before he broke the kiss.
Maybe he regretted everything. Maybe he wasn’t ready to let go like he had. Or maybe he wasn’t stiffening up. Maybe he was just hard all over, because he was…hard…all over. Heat pooled low in her belly and did nothing to alleviate her need for more of him.
But did he need more of her? Or more important, did hewantmore of her? Kaydee wasn’t sure, and his neutral expression gave nothing away.
…
This wasn’t the first time in Leo’s life that he’d lost his senses, but it was the first time he’d lost them while sober. Intoxication was definitely involved, though. And her name was Kaydee. Damn. She tasted even better than he’d imagined. Sweet and lush like a ripe strawberry, and hot as hell.
She rocked his world.
All through a kiss. Several kisses, because he couldn’t seem to help himself. The delicious woman was dangerous to his self-control. Still, what was the harm? She appeared to enjoy it as much as he had.
Her face was flushed, her lips were swollen and wet, and her ample chest rose and fell rapidly with her ragged breaths. As he stared into her gorgeous eyes, dark with the same desire still flowing through his veins, an unexpected thrill flooded his chest.
Heput that sexy look on her face.
“So…that just happened,” she uttered between breaths, sending a piece of hair across her cheek.
He nodded. “Yes.”
“Can you explain to me what that was?”
“No.” His lips twitched as he pushed the strand off her face with his finger and hooked it behind her ear. “I was hoping you could tell me.”
It felt as if he’d gotten knocked on his ass.
She released her death grip on his shirt and smoothed the material with her palms. “I would if I could, but I can’t, so I won’t.”
Leo laughed. Kaydee had such an honest, spontaneous, lighthearted way that always put him at ease. It was her superpower. The amazing woman had pulled more laughs from him in the past few months than he’d had in the last two years. She was magical. Addicting.
Trouble.
Her gaze dropped to his mouth, and he watched her pull her plump lower lip between her teeth. His damn dick twitched in response.
He was so fucking screwed.
Releasing her, he cleared his dry-as-hell throat and stepped back. “We should probably eat.”
Especially since supper wasn’t the root of his hunger.
She blinked and gave her head a slight shake. “You’re right.” As her gaze cleared, a grin curved her lips. “If we don’t put a dent in that Crock-Pot meal we’ll suffer the wrath of Ava.”
“True.” He laughed again. “We don’t want that.”
But hedidwant Kaydee. Hell, he wanted her before they’d kissed. But now that he tasted her, Leo knew it was only a matter of time before they ended up in bed. Kaydee’s hunger was intense and matched his own. It was inevitable.
