haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since I spotted you at the bar.” There . She’d said it.
“And I’ve been thinking about you ever since I spotted you on that stage,” Ashton said quietly. “Even now as I look at you standing there, I know what I want.”
Her stomach quivered at his words. “And what is it you want?”
Ashton rose and she swallowed hard, fighting the rush of heat in her cheeks as he crossed the short distance. “I want you.”
Kaelyn couldn’t move and was suddenly aware of how close their bodies were.
Ashton put a finger under her chin and nudged so she tipped her head back to look him in the eye. “No point in fighting it. I felt a connection the second I saw you. That’s why I kissed you earlier and the same reason why I need to kiss you again.” Bending forward, Ashton’s mouth was so close Kaelyn could feel the warmth of his breath as it ruffled her nose. “This is crazy, yet all I know is I gotta have you,” he murmured, his thumb tracing her mouth.
His eyes searched her face while her body ached with want. Need . He was right. There was no denying the connection. Sidestepping what was happening between them was close to impossible.
“Then what are you waiting for?” she whispered as a combination of uneasiness and excitement coursed through her.
She felt a thrill of excitement as he pulled her roughly into his arms. And then his mouth crushed hers and boldly parted her lips. The moment their tongues touched, Kaelyn forgot all about how crazy this was and instead gave in to her desire. And oh my! She didn’t think it was possible but his mouth tasted even better than before. His kiss was hot, aggressive, and damn arousing.
Ashton’s hands were everywhere, roaming possessively over her body and no matter how much he touched it wasn’t near enough. She wanted his fingers down between her legs, stroking, penetrating, making her come.
“You’re beautiful,” he murmured, drawing her even closer.
His tongue slid from her ear, across her cheek and over to her bottom lip, tasting her before sliding back inside. She moaned and he drew her closer as he continued to feast at her mouth, then he took her hand and placed it over the bulge in his pants.
“Feel it?” he hissed against her lips. “You’re responsible for that.”
Ashton turned her on like no other man she’d known. His mouth was arousing, erotic, stirring her senses in so many ways. Kaelyn slipped a hand underneath his t-shirt, then slid her fingers up along his chest, across his shoulders and drifted to the front. Goodness, he was rock solid. Ashton’s chest was well defined with tight abs and hard pectoral muscles.
And just when they found a rhythm, Ashton dragged his mouth from hers, hovered near her lips for a second longer before he released his hold and stepped back, leaving her breathless. Kaelyn opened her eyes and stared up at him.
“Take off my shirt,” he ordered huskily and raised his arms so she could drag the cotton fabric up over his head and onto the counter. She swallowed a moan that built at the back of her throat. God, she wanted him! Naked from the waist up, she took a step backwards and admired the gorgeous man standing before her. His bronze chest was covered slightly with soft dark hair.
“What are you thinking?” he inquired.
She swallowed and tore her eyes away to meet his intense stare. “I’m thinking… I like what I see.”
“That’s good,” he said and she noticed the way his eyes darkened and never left hers. “Now it’s your turn. Take off your top.”
Breathing heavily, she reached up and loosened the two knots holding her halter together. As soon as she tossed it aside, she heard the sharp intake of Ashton’s breath.
“You are so beautiful. I could stand here and look at you all day.” His gaze roamed over her breasts with an intensity that made her breath quicken. “Come here.”
Kaelyn stepped forward and Ashton slipped a hand around her
