knew he was going to love before he ever took the first bite.
Bite!
She couldn’t think about him taking a bite of her.
Men didn’t take bites of her!
She wasn’t that kind of girl.
Maybe she should have been.
Maybe she regretted that right this minute, but still…
“If I could just do this for a moment,” he whispered, his arms sliding carefully around her.
“Mmm-hmm,” she said, her voice coming out a little squeaky and weird.
“And you were to put your arms around me, just for a minute…”
“Okay.” She was all too happy to comply.
She’d been thinking about touching him for days. Touching him in all sorts of ways, in all sorts of places that made her blush.
And actually touching him was even better, she found.
His body was solid as could be, all hard and sexy, muscles curving and sloping one into another, her hands sliding up his biceps, to cup his broad shoulders, one hand even sneaking onto the base of his neck and into the ends of his hair.
“There you go,” he said, like he really liked that. “Just like that.”
Oh, yes.
Just like that.
Lily took a giant gulp of air, her breasts rising to the point where they just barely brushed his chest.
He sucked in a breath, then gave a shaky little laugh.
“She’s watching everything we do,” he said. “And if it’s okay with you, I think if I just do this for a few moments…”
And then he stroked the tip of his nose along the side of her neck, lips so close they left a trail of heat and longing in their wake.
Lily whimpered. Couldn’t help it.
If this didn’t stop soon, she’d be begging him to stop putting on a show for Audrey and just kiss her already and be done with it.
As it was, she could imagine his mouth opening and then landing right there in that spot where the base of her neck met her shoulder, a spot that was already tingling with longing. She thought about his warm, moist mouth teasing, caressing, his beautiful, hard body plastered up against hers.
Lily stretched her neck out to the side, like she was giving him that spot, giving him anything he wanted, and let her body settle in against his. His arms tightened around her ever so slowly and carefully, like he was determined not to take advantage of the situation.
Or she hoped that’s what it was.
That he was a nice man.
A very nice, wickedly sexy man.
His nose nuzzled her ear, teased her hair, his hand cupping one side of her face and his lips settling as gently as a whisper against her temple before he slowly drew back, a wry grin on his face.
Lily tried not to whimper or to beg for more. Tried to stand on her own two feet without any help from him and tried not to look too thrilled by what he’d done or too devastated that it was over.
“So…she got an eyeful?” Lily asked, reminding herself what this had all been about.
“Yes, she did.” He grinned easily, the way a man might look at a woman he considers a good friend. “I hope that was okay? I mean, I hope I didn’t offend you…”
“No. Of course not,” she said. “Anything to help out a neighbor.”
“Well, she’s gone so…” He waited, like he wanted to say more.
She waited, too, hoping, wanting, needing, thrilled and a little bit scared.
But then he shook his head and all he said was, “I should be getting back to work. Thanks again, Lily.”
“You’re welcome,” she said.
She waited until he was out the door and she heard his lawn mower start before she sank down to the floor in her kitchen, leaning back against the cabinets, closed her eyes and relived every glorious second of what had just happened.
Sadly, it was the sexiest thing that had happened to her in years.
