She blinked up at me with the bluest eyes I’d ever seen, and for a moment, I wasn’t sure if she’d heard me.
As if my words finally sunk in, her face turned coy and she graced me with a smile that lured me closer.
“Hi,” she yelled back over the thumping music.
My fingers flexed on her exposed waist, drawing her nearer. “What are you drinking?”
“Vodka Spritz.”
“What?” I yelled, feigning deafness.
“Vodka Spritz,” she repeated, lifting her chin.
I touched my ear and leaned in. “Sorry, I didn’t catch that.”
My eyes locked on her mouth as laughter danced over me.
“Isaid,Vodka Spri-“
The last of my resolve broke. I couldn’t not taste her for a second longer. My mouth claimed hers and stole the last syllable off her tongue in a searing kiss that, although I initiated it, took us both by surprise.
The intensity ricocheted through my body, right down to the tips of my toes as I wove my fingers through her hair and kissed her as if I had every right to. Long and hard.
The taste of lemon and lime danced across my tongue as it tangled and swiped eagerly against hers. My fingers dropped low on her hip, pulling her closer on instinct as her arms wrapped around my neck.
I planned to steal a quick liplock. A taste just to satisfy the craving for the time being. But fuck me, I didn’t anticipate her reacting like this, to have me groaning against her mouth and for her lips to work over mine with matched desire.
I didn’t want to pull away or lose the feel of her pert breasts pressing against my chest, but when her two friends became our personal cheering squad, I couldn’t help but smile against her mouth.
Reluctantly breaking our kiss, I was met with dilated pupils, plump lips—now unglossed—and soft, panting breaths breezing across my face. She looked utterly spectacular after being kissed senseless, and I… well, I wanted a whole lot more.
I couldn’t help but chuckle when a look of complete shock passed over her face, and her once-heavy eyelids flared wide.
“Oh, my God!” she exclaimed, pressing her fingers to her mouth.
“That was so fuckinghot,”her blonde friend yelled, as she pushed into our space. “Hell, Pen, if you wanna turn this party into a three-way, I’m in!”
Pen, huh?
She laughed and shoved at blondie. “Get out, Lydia, you sex addict!”
I sniggered and seized the bartender’s attention when the dark-haired friend ordered their cocktails.
“Add six beers to that, man, and put them all on my tab.”
He smirked while I turned back to the golden-haired woman who hadn’t withdrawn from my touch.
I ran a hand up her torso. “So, Pen, huh?”
She gave me a wry look. “Penny, yes. And that’s Lydia.” She then pointed to the dark-haired raven. “And that’s Vivi.”
While both women were beautiful in their own right, I only had eyes for one.
“If you ladies want to join me and my brothers, we’re over there.” I nodded toward our table, then turned my full attention to Penny. “I hope you will, Lemon Drop.”
Dropping my mouth close to hers, I waited a beat. Her chin lifted, giving me the unvoiced approval to kiss her again. Her tongue met mine as soon as our lips connected, and I held her by the hips while devouring her all over again.
“Drinks, babes,” was called.
