“You’re a dangerous man”
He cocked his head to the side and the edges of his lips curved up in a barely-there grin “Who , lips I’m perfectly harmless”
My gaze swept down his six-foot-two, muscular frame before I titled my head back to take in his thick, brown hair and ain “They could literally use your picture in the dictionary next to the tererous” I swept my free hand up and down “My panties practically went up in flames when you looked at me That’s the exact opposite of harmless”
His dark eyes glearin turned into a full-fledged smile “You say that like I’m supposed to be sorry, but that’s the second-best news I’ve heard all day”
“And what’s the first-best?”
He lifted a hand and brushed his thumb across my bottom lip “When you said you’d come home with me”
“Which just goes to prove how dangerous you are since youco to doit completely out of character was an understatement since I could count the nuood experiences, but flirting with Ethan turnedI’d done with anyone else
He tugged uar parked in the lot next to the bar When we reached it, he pressed ed ainst the roof of the car “I’th to let you walk away from me now Not after you said you’d cos to my mouth too But if you aren’t sure—”
I rose up on my toes and pressed my lips to his The kiss was brief, just to stop hi, but it still packed a powerful punch to my system It only confirmed what I already knew; the che that I’irl who picks up guys in bars”
“Thank fuck,” he sighed, dropping his forehead against mine
A startled laugh burst out of ain He stared into ain
“If we’re going to do this, we should go,” I whispered against his lips

“That’s good”
Yup, that was ood, because it was If he lived far away, grabbing a ride hoether would be crazy expensive But I didn’t knohat else to say since we didn’t really know anything about each other except for first names Which reminded me
“This et to your place do you mind if I drop a pin at our location and send it to my best friend?”
He flashed rin “It doesn’t sound crazy to ood hatever it takes for you to feel safe and comfortable”
“So it’s a nor to do?”
“Fuck if I know” His hand squeezedwo”
My eyes ith surprise since he’d seemed so confident when he told ht “Really?”
“Yes, really” When he stopped at a red light, he lifted our hands and pressed a kiss against ht, butto owe hi since I found you there”
The way he was talking, it sounded like he saw this as ht stand Oronthe plans I had to to set that into motion, and I couldn’t turn back now—no ht
He must’ve mistaken ain and said, “It’s been a long daht my interest, Madison And I’ve never reacted to anyone the way I am to you Trust me when I tell you that this is different You’re different”
Any second-thoughts I ht out theat his declaration “I believe you”
“Good” He released rip the wheel as he made a sharp left turn and pulled into a driveway “Because we’re here”
Nervous butterflies swirled in ot out of the car, and rounded it to open my door But they disappeared as he reached down to help ht Then he yanked ainst his chest and kissed any and all sense out of et me inside”
“As you wish,” he whispered against my lips
Walking hand-in-hand, we dashed into his house We didn’t hts before he pinned ainst a wall and devoured my mouth After he robbedmy cheek, down to my neck, and finally to the sensitive spot just behindhis h

But it still wasn’t enough, so I yanked hiently sucked his tongue intoa shiver along , he ripped his mouth from mine and stared down at ined”
“It’s probably just the ruht instead of vodka,” I teased
He nibbled on roaned “Nope, it’s definitely not the ruet the chance to drink It’s all you”
His hands went under my ass, and he liftedI like your kisses more than the drink I missed out on”
