Several moments later, after their breathing started to return to normal, Kendra took the chance to peer up at Sin. He leaned down, kissing her forehead, each eyelid, the tip of her nose and finally her lips.
His kisses were soft, almost sweet. He lowered her feet to the ground, guiding her foot back into her jeans and pulling them up. He left her for a minute to dispose of the condom and right his own clothes. Kendra stood silently where he’d left her. She didn’t have the strength to leave the wall she was leaning on for support. She’d always thought how stupid women were when they met someone and proclaimed them a soul mate within hours of knowing him. Now she counted herself among their ranks. She knew without a doubt that she’d been put on this earth to be with Sin.
He came back to her, pulling her into his strong embrace. His breath tickled the top of her head and his stubbly jaw caught at her hair. He moved back to catch her eye and said, “So when can we get your stuff moved into my place?”
Kendra laughed until she realized that he was completely serious. “I don’t even know your real name and you want me to move in with you?” If life were only that easy.
He moved away from her and held out his hand. “My name is Sinclair Martin. I’m twenty-eight. I graduated college. I have four brothers and one sister. I’m drug- and disease-free and own my own home.”
Kendra started to giggle as he continued to give her his vital statistics. Finally he stopped and gave her a quirky little smile.
“Okay, okay, I get it. You won’t be moving in today. Come on.” He held out his hand, inviting Kendra to join him on his way out of the club. She slipped her hand into his and they started to walk away, until a voice from behind stopped them.
“Where do you two think you’re going?” Kendra grinned at her best friend. Ce stood in the shadowy hallway, Brady Ryder glowering behind her. The big, scary man’s arms were crossed over his chest and he looked seriously annoyed.
Kendra looked from Ce to Sin and her smile grew. “I’m going to start my new life, Ce.”
Her best friend laughed, clapping her hands as Kendra turned and she and Sinclair left the building.

About VJ Summers
VJ Summers: When not working the EDJfH (Evil Day Job from Hell), obsessing over whether her parents are getting enough to eat, obsessing that her kid is sexting the boyfriend, making coffee, drinking coffee or feeding the two cats who allow her to live with them, VJ can be found reading or writing erotic romance—either solo as m/m author VJ Summers, or as the shorter, more quiet half of the “Violet Summers” writing team (the tall half is Sierra Summers).
