Page 10 of Holiday Heat

Her luscious lips drop open and she growls. Literally growls. It’s the sexiest damn thing I’ve ever heard. I want to hear her do that when I’m buried in her body, want her to rip me to shreds.

“I’ve had enough. Thank you for ruining my night.” She stalks out, her back rigid and her steps firm and fast. Her tiny figure disappears out the door and I grin, saluting her friends who are standing watching from the other side of the room.

I follow her out the door, every single one of my senses on high alert, like a predatory beast hunting down its next meal. And I have every intention of making Jane all my meals. For the rest of my life I’m going to devour her, body and soul.

I see her disappearing around the corner of the barn that houses the dance hall, heading back to her cabin no doubt.

I follow along behind her, whistling softly. It’s a ridiculously gorgeous night. The humidity of the day torn away by the storms. Storms that continue to resonate through my body like a low-level hum of desire and lust. I’m on fire and nothing is going to quench it but Jane.

By the time I get to her cabin, which I know is hers because I followed her this afternoon to make sure she got home safe even though she refused to let me walk with her, I’m burning up with lust. The long walk in the chilly night air barely put a dent in my fever.

I knock on the door and stand to the side so she can’t see me right away, knowing she’ll slam the door in my face. Maybe rightfully so. I’m being a stubborn ass and I know it. But I can’t help it. I need that woman.

She shoves the door open. ”Who’s there?”

I step out of the shadows. “We haven’t finished our talk yet, Jane.” I stalk past her into the cabin, knowing she won’t be able to resist following me and arguing with me.

My breath hitches when I turn and see her wide, angry eyes. There’s my girl!

“There’s a few things that we need to clear up right now. One of them being this….” I slam my lips down on her pretty pink lips parted to tell me off. My tongue revels in her taste, twisting languidly around hers, delving deeper until I hear her moan and her arms reach up, wrapping around my shoulders.

I pull back and stare into her dark, stormy eyes. “I want to marry you. I want to own you and this luscious body forever. I want it to be mine. Hell, I want my name tattooed on your ass so nobody ever has to guess who it belongs to. But you need to know some more things about me.”
