around. Her body filled with fire as AJ gently lifted his hand from her shoulder and brought it to the back of her neck, stroking her skin with his fingertips. His touch felt incredible.
Kat suddenly felt a bit of Scaredy Kat creeping in. The moment was perfect and it was everything she could have wanted. The man of her dreams was sitting next to her. But that was what scared her. She became afraid that somehow she was going to screw it up. AJ was way out of her league, as far as she was concerned, and the insecure girl who still lived inside her told her that she had better be careful not to mess up this moment somehow.
Just act natural. He’s just a man. A very, very attractive man who can have whatever he wants. But he’s still just a man.
“You don’t know how glad I am that I ran into you tonight, Kat,” AJ said, his words easing her anxiety.
Kat turned to face him. She looked into his blue eyes, which glowed even in the dim light of the limo’s interior. Her entire body tingled as an invisible force caused her to become magnetized to him. She placed a hand onto the front of his white dress shirt, feeling his muscular pecs underneath. Then she bit her bottom lip as she tried to hold back the powerful and carnal instincts that were quickly starting to reveal themselves again. It seemed as though her attraction toward AJ far outweighed any insecurities.
“I knew I wanted you since our first dance,” AJ whispered, as his eyes dilated. “That’s actually not true.”
“It isn’t?” Kat’s voice faltered.
“No. I’ve wanted you since I saw you at the church,” he said. “The dance just confirmed it for me.”
She enjoyed the way he looked at her. Never before had she had such an effect on a man, and certainly not a man like AJ. He could have gotten any girl he wanted. But even so, there was no denying the deep attraction that he had for Kat. She could see it in his face.
AJ’s hands dropped down her sides and onto her hips. Gently, yet firmly, he pulled her on top of him so that she was straddling over his lap. Her dress inched up her thighs, revealing just a little skin. Kat’s body trembled with excitement as she leaned close to him.
She could tell that AJ was someone important, that she should be more self-conscious around him. But that didn’t matter at the moment. For now, he was something much different. The money in his bank account and his position at a company didn’t matter. All that mattered was that he was a gorgeous and masculine man who wanted Kat just as badly as she wanted him.
She brought her hands to his face, which had grown a tiny bit of stubble throughout the day. It tickled her fingertips as she leaned in close. Their lips were inches apart and the invisible magnetism drew her in. She was about to kiss the most beautiful man she had ever met in her entire life. It was a moment that she had only dreamed about and never thought would come true. AJ’s eyes stayed locked with hers as their faces neared. Their lips grazed, just barely touching, when suddenly the limo stopped. Immediately after, the separator between the driver and themselves lowered.
Kat sighed as she pulled back, feeling a bit annoyed at the interruption. Then she turned to face the driver. The old man with grey hair blushed when he saw the unique position that the two were in.
“Sorry to interrupt,” he said, after clearing his throat awkwardly. “Just wanted to let you know that we’re back at the hotel.”
Then he faced forward once again, bringing the divider back up and returning AJ and Kat’s privacy. The poor driver was clearly embarrassed and Kat couldn’t be mad at him for halting her perfect moment. He was just doing his job.
AJ softly squeezed the top of Kat’s thighs as they sat in the silence. “Come on. Let’s go to my room. We can do a lot better than this, right?”
Kat smiled with relief and then crawled off of AJ. Like magic, the driver showed up at the passenger door and
