“Where were you before?” I ask, feeling the way her leg bumps into mine, unsure if it was an accident or her getting closer to me. Either way, I’m taking a chance. My hand moves to the inside of her leg, pulling her closer to me. She doesn’t protest, and all that sweet, smooth skin beneath my hands has me aching for more.

CHAPTER 5

Halo

If I was worried that Warren wasn’t feeling the same way I was, the proof is in the pudding, along with feeling his thick and heavy girth pressed up against my body while we were dancing earlier this evening, and now with the way his hand seems to be traveling further up my thigh as we sit in the blues restaurant, listening to the music, talking, and drinking. At one point, I swear the hussy inside me comes out. I spread my thighs, allowing him to work his fingers higher and higher until I felt the graze so close to my center, a shiver worked its way up my body, causing me let out an erotic moan.

“Halo.” The slight gruffness in his voice and the gripping from the tips of his fingers have me tipping my head back, eyes closing tightly, and enjoying this moment of rapture. “That’s it. We’re leaving and going back to my place. I’ve got to have a taste straight from the source.” My eyes open when I feel Warren’s amble fingers slide across my bare core. How he managed to pull my panties out of his way, I have no idea, but the brushing of his fingertips is seared into my memory, much like the way he pulls them away. A soft keening leaves me and is only amplified when I watch as Warren licks my juices from them.

“Warren.” The way I say his name is lewd, full of innuendo, and I’m thankful that we’re in such a secluded area. I’m moving faster than I ever thought possible, hands sliding up Warren’s firm chest, wrapping around his neck, my body angled as much as it can be towards him, and it’s as if he knows what I’m after. Warren dips his head down as I lift mine up, and our lips meet. The kiss is full of heat, scorching with desire, and as far as a first kiss, it’s out-of-this-world amazing.

“Come on, we’re leaving. I don’t think people want drinks and a show. If we stay here much longer, that’s exactly what will happen.” Warren’s lips leave mine. I want to grumble my disapproval, but the way he licks his full bottom lip has me thinking that the show we were so hell bent on giving is just getting started. My only hope is that by the time we get back to his place, the heat doesn’t die down.

“Okay.” He stands up, digging into his pocket to pull out what I’m assuming is cash for our bill. That’s not what I’m focusing on, though. Nope, it would be entirely on his cock in front of my face, literally. If we weren’t in a room full of people, it would be so easy to unzip his pants and see what he’s packing.

“Halo.” Warren gets my attention. My lips are suddenly dry, my throat clogging with desire.

“Yes?” I squeal out, the noise causing me to wince.

“I’m going to give you exactly what we both want, but, sweetness, it can’t be in a bar with plenty of onlookers, some who would have no problem calling the cops, meaning we’d end in jail instead of tangled up in my bed, yeah?” Warren holds his hand out for mine, and I look away from his eyes. He doesn’t let it go, though, tipping my head back to look up at him. “I like the way you look at me. Going to love it even more when it’s just the two of us.”

“Yes, please.” My hand moves to his. He pulls me out of the booth. I notice he put a wad of cash on the table and feel horrible for not even asking to help cover the bill, and admit it, “I didn’t even offer to pay my half.”

“Did I ask you to come with me?”

“Well, yes.” I’m standing now. Warren’s arm is wrapped around my lower back, my chest to his.

“Then you don’t worry about offering to pay.” He dips his head. My eyes close when I feel the barest of kisses fluttered across my lips.

“Okay.” This time when I look up at him, he graces me with a warm smile and eyes heated with desire.

CHAPTER 6

Warren

“And she sleeps.” I look down at Halo’s body. We came back to my place, neither of us wanting the night to end. It appears that either I’ve bored her to death or she isn’t used to drinking as much as she did, and slumber took over her. I was only gone for a few minutes. The apartment I own here in town has a balcony. Instead of having Halo follow me out, I asked her to stay inside. There was no reason for her to freeze to death while I lit the propane fire pit, uncovered the patio furniture, and came back inside, where Halo is now dozing peacefully. I’m not sure what to do, if I should wake her up or let her sleep. Hell, do I let her stay asleep on the couch or put her in my bed?
