Oh, yes. This was what she’d been missing. That mind-blanking explosion of heat and desire, coupled with a feeling of such belonging it made her weak at the knees.
Breaking the kiss, he took her face in his hands, easing her back until their eyes met. “God, I missed you.” His eyes softened with affection and arousal. “You’re so beautiful. I don’t say that nearly enough.”
“You say it all the time.” And yet it never failed to make her grin like an idiot.
“Yeah, but it still isn’t enough.” That fantastic mouth covered hers, his tongue stroking hers in a rhythm that made her wish they were someplace private.
The flash of a camera broke the moment. When they ended the kiss, Ruby whipped her head in the direction of the flash and saw Adam grinning from ear to ear.
“Photographic evidence,” Adam said by way of explanation. With a wink, he tucked his cell phone into the back pocket of his jeans. “Sorry to break up your special moment, but I have a two-fifteen down by Disney, so we need to get this show on the road.” He extended his hand in Jack’s direction. “I’m Adam, by the way. Nice to finally meet you.”
“Likewise.” Jack shook Adam’s hand, both men doing that thing where they try to gauge each other’s testosterone levels through the strength of their grips. “I’ve heard a lot about you.”
“Oh, really?” Adam shot a questioning look in Ruby’s direction. “I’m almost afraid to ask.”
“Don’t worry, it’s good. For the most part.” She flashed Adam an impudent grin, leaving him to wonder what she’d actually said about him. Turning her attention back to Jack, she reached for his hand and threaded his fingers with hers. With Adam leading the way, they walked together toward Baggage Claim. “How was your flight?”
“Bumpy. We ran into turbulence over Georgia.” He dipped his head to whisper in her ear. “Do you have to work tonight?”
“Nope. I had an appointment this morning, but the rest of my day’s clear.” After a bit of sweet-talking and calling in favors, Dmitri had agreed to handle her nighttime appointment, while Adam traded his morning reap for her two-fifteen.
“Great, because I’ve got plans for you, Beulah.” The husky rumble in his voice vibrated throughout her entire body.
She glanced down at their joined hands, and the simple connection felt so right it ached in her bones. “I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
Growing up the youngest of three girls, Lori Sjoberg never had control of the remote. That meant a steady diet of science fiction and fantasy: Star Trek, Star Wars, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits—you name it, she watched it. It fed her imagination, which came in handy when she needed a creative excuse for being out past curfew. After graduating from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Lori worked for nearly a decade in retail management, then switched to financial planning, and then insurance.
The writing bug bit a few years later. After completing her first manuscript, Lori joined the Romance Writers of America and Central Florida Romance Writers. Now she exercises the analytical half of her brain at work and the creative half writing paranormal romance. When she’s not doing either of those, she’s usually spending time with her husband and four-legged children.
