Blazing Bedtime Stories, Volume VII: The Steadfast Hot SoldierWild Thing
Page 19
Thrilled and more relieved than he wanted to admit, even to himself, Percy grinned. His hands gripping her waist, he lifted her up to meet his mouth.
The kiss was hot and fast, filled with promise and passion. But before he could let himself fall too hard, he pulled back and looked into her eyes.
“I’ve been falling in love with you since our second date,” he confessed. “Crazy, obsessed, in love.”
Her delighted laughter bounced off the walls. She hugged him tight. This time it was her mouth that met his, her tongue sweeping over his lips in a way that made him want to hurry this conversation along.
“Really?” she asked, a little breathless after the kiss.
“Really, really,” he promised. He knew the promise encompassed a lot more than just assuring her that he was telling the truth. And he was ready for more.
A whole lot more.
“You realize we’re perfect for each other,” he said as he pressed feather-soft kisses along her bare shoulder.
“Perfect,” she agreed breathlessly, her hands skimming an enticing trail down his belly. When her fingers hit the snap of his jeans, Percy pulled back and gave her a big smile.
“Yep. Perfect. I mean, we like the same things. We’re crazy about the same dog. We have some very serious feelings going for each other.” Then he paused, his fingers gathering the fabric of her dress, pulling it higher and higher until he could feel her soft flesh.
“And neither one of us is wearing any underwear.”
