He had Kristin right where he wanted her. In his bed.
Unfortunately he wasn’t there with her.
Admiring Kristin from across the room, Mike lowered his duffel quietly to the floor. Even without makeup, she looked vibrant, as though the smattering of freckles across the bridge of her nose and cheeks were a symbol of her energy. Her lips were slightly open in readiness for a kiss.
Eager to taste their flavor again, Mike moved beside her, sat down on the edge of the bed and bent over to touch her lips with his.
Warm and soft. Feminine. Parting on a sweet sigh that took possession of his senses.
His body reacted the way a fire ignites from spontaneous combustion. No amount of water on the flame would be able to put out the sensual blaze that rose within him.
He wanted Kristin McCoy as he’d never wanted any other woman in his life.
