Unfinished Business (Erotic Reunion) - a SEXY romance short Page 5

  “And I’m all for sharing great conversation, but I’m sure there’re better things we could be doing other than talking. Am I right, Mr. Wolf?”

  She loved that low, growling sound he made deep in his throat. She loved how his strong arms caught her up and crushed her even harder against him till they were wedged perfectly together – two pieces of a jigsaw. And oh, she loved his hot, sweet breath swirling around her nostrils as his mouth parted and feathered close to hers. Instinctively, her tongue snaked out to moisten her lips in sensual expectation.

  “Baby, you have no idea,” he rasped, still just keeping back from kissing her. “The things I’ve done to you a thousand times in my mind…It’s tough enough for me to not rip your clothes off right now and fuck you where you stand.”

  Hailey whimpered, her arms lifting to wrap around his shoulders, but he seized her wrists, keeping them down in a powerful grip. She gasped, thrilled by his strength and the sense of being suddenly, inescapably, in his control.

  “Hailey…Hailey,” he said again and again, dipping to press a kiss to one corner of her lips, and then the other. “I’ve come to the conclusion that you’re dangerous to my peace of mind. I need you – I just hope you feel even an iota of the same.”

  The raw hunger in his voice made her heart pound against her chest like a drum. Heaven help her she was ready to melt into a puddle right then. The sexual chemistry in the air was impossible to either ignore or deny. This man was lethal. She’d thought so before and now, in his arms, his lips just a breath from hers, she reiterated the fact to herself.

  But this wasn’t going to happen.

  She knew she surprised him when she suddenly broke away from his grip. “Hailey?” he said, but she turned away from the tempting picture of his handsome, desire-flushed face, and turned sharply on her heels.

  “I can’t…I can’t do this,” she said, throwing it over her shoulder as she made for the door. Was she crazy or stupid? What the heck had been in that brandy anyway? Because she was acting so out of character. Men like Ethan Wolf meant only one thing for a girl like her – trouble. More worldly, experienced and tougher, he’d bring her just the kind of hassle she’d been avoiding all these months. No sex, no pain. And Hailey wasn’t like him; she didn’t change sexual partners like socks. It couldn’t be more than a week since she saw him with that sexy woman in the vampy skirt suit. She didn’t want to be that girl, she decided.

  She’d grabbed her coat and was already turning the door knob when she felt the weight of his hand pushing the door closed. She gasped when she felt the solid heat of him close behind her, imprisoning her against the door. Hailey closed her eyes for a moment at the sensation of a hard, warm and powerful body pressing up against her and robbing her of breath.

  She caught the whiff of his expensive cologne, blended in with his clean, mouth-watering aroma, and she had to suppress a moan. Every one of her female cells became conscious of the man behind her, now nuzzling her neck and scraping the sensitive skin there with his slight stubble. Even trying to swallow became a superhuman task, and she went stiff as a statue.

  “Please, Ethan,” she begged, raising her eyes heavenward in a silent plea. She mustn’t give in. She dare not give in. Any man who could turn her to jelly without really trying was bad news in her book. She didn’t want to feel like this. Her experience in the past had taught her that if she caved in with her body, she’d regret it soon enough with her heart and soul.

  But how to fight her own treacherously raging hormones…

  “Don’t leave,” he said softly, his lips parting over her skin and sucking moistly, hotly. She sagged against him as a sudden boneless sensation overcame her.

  Trailing his lips up to her ear, he whispered, “Not until we try to find out if this is real. This magic.” Taking hold of her shoulders, he twisted her round to face him. Reluctantly, she looked up into his eyes and her fate was sealed.

  Because Hailey knew in her heart that he was right. It was magic. That special combination of attraction and destiny that only few people could find. It might not mean anything tomorrow; it might fade even in the space of hours. But for that moment in time, it was the Promised Land. It was fate.

  With a whimper, she threw her arms around his neck as their lips met in a fevered clash. Hands gripping her waist, he swept her off the ground. Hailey felt like a bag of feathers as, ravaging through her mouth with his tongue, he turned and led them straight through the living room to the bedroom beyond…..
