BONUS- TEMPTING THE EMEMY
Nicholas’ eyes followed Dana as she dashed from the room and his heart smiled. Dana tried her best to hide it, but he’d been around long enough to know when a woman wanted him. She did. The way she kissed him last night was a dead giveaway.
Now, he had to decide whether to strike while the iron had heat, or leave her alone. Despite the obvious feelings he could tell she fought an internal battle.
But what if this was the window he needed, the chance to finally get through to her? Should he not take it?
Hell yes, he would. Tonight.
Bidding the group goodbye, he took the hour-long drive to Dana’s apartment. There was no need for rehearsal. Every thought was already there on his heart. All he needed was an open door and a chance to release them. With any luck, the end of the night would bring more than his confession.
He stepped from the lift of her apartment and walked down the hallway, just in time to see Dana digging in her purse, her hair hanging and hiding her face.
“Dana.”
She jumped, brushing the hair from her face to frown at him. “How did you… why are you — never mind.” The jingling keys sounded before they emerged and she eased one in the door. But she didn’t turn the knob. Without looking at him she said, “you can’t be here.”
“Why not?”
“Because I don’t want you here.”
Nicholas marveled at how she tried to sound calm when her fingers shook like crazy as she opened the door. He read her body’s response like a book. Despite her attempts to hide her desire, he could see it from a mile away.
“I think you’re lying.”
The sexual tension radiated from her, strong and contagious, taking him over. He forgot his purpose for coming over tonight. All he could think of was breaking down her barrier, teasing her to madness, taking her with slow, deliberate strokes…all night long.
“I don’t care what you think,” she replied, her tone clashing with the calmness she tried to portray. “Goodnight.”
He gripped the edge of the door before she could close it while enjoying the frustration in her face. “Invite me in.”
“Move, Nicholas.”
He pressed his knee against the door, pushing it back. “Invite me in,” he repeated, dropping his voice to an octave he knew had a desired effect. Sure enough, she took a sharp inhale, so quick he almost missed it, and her eyes softened for a moment before taking on a steely glare.
“No.” But he saw the hesitation before she answered.
“I’m not taking no for an answer, Dana.”
She released a loud groan and leaned against the door. “Why can’t you just leave me alone?”
“Because you don’t want me to. I know it, and deep down you know it too.”
“Oh, please.” She rolled her eyes. “That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.” But her nipples pressed against the fabric, proving a dead giveaway to the arousal she tried to hide.
“Is it?” He dropped his gaze to her chest and her eyes followed. She gasped, seeing the betrayal of her desire and crossed her arms to cover up.
“You are such a tool.”
He grinned. “A tool that’s right.”
Dana took a deep breath, clutching the door knob as she exhaled. “It’s not wise, Nicholas.”
“Who cares? We’re both adults.”
“Who are wrong for each other.”
“Why?”
She sighed; her expression filled with pain that lasted for a couple seconds before it disappeared. “I don’t want to talk about it.”
“Then let’s not.” The longer he stood there, the more he wanted her. Maybe it was the chase, or the unknown, but the thought of burying himself inside Dana brought a rush that made him lightheaded. A day ago, sleeping with her had been the furthest from his mind. Now it was all he could think about. “Invite me in, Dana,” he whispered.
