Jack & Diane

by Hampton, Lena

  “I want you, Pru.” His deep eyes took her in. Pru felt absolutely dizzy with desire for him but she couldn’t give herself to him so soon — or at all, keeping in mind that celibacy thing she was trying so hard to remember in this moment.

  He smiled, slowly, “I could reserve us a suite upstairs. We could have our dinner delivered to the suite.”

  It sounded tempting to Pru. Her body wanted him. Her mind — well, her mind said stop. Halt. Put on the brakes.

  “No, that wouldn’t be a good idea.”

  She saw how much he wanted her the way he licked his lips when his eyes scrutinized every visible part of her body. She wanted him, too. He saw the longing in her eyes. He’d have to be blind not to see it. She sat erect in her seat with her hands in her lap, looking uncomfortable, on edge. She searched his eyes wondering if what he felt was more than wanton desire. Was he just looking for a one night stand or was he feeling the same hot sensations she was trying to ignore?
