Walker was quiet for several thumps of my heart before a slow smile stretched from one corner of his mouth to the other. Oh hell. His smiles were dangerous. My belly felt all fluttery and my breath got shallow.
He looked as if he was considering something. I suddenly recalled his comment about my brother. Straightening my shoulders against the wall behind me, I lifted my chin. “Don’t you dare include my brother’s potential opinion in this equation. We’re two consenting adults, and this is none of his fucking business.”
Walker’s responding slow laugh sent a hot shiver through me. I shifted my weight on my feet. I knew things were bad when I could feel the slick heat between my thighs. We hadn’t even kissed yet, and I was already so turned on, there was a throb at my core.
“Obviously, I’m aware it’s not really any of his business. Just as I’m aware if your brother finds out, I’ll probably get his fist in my face.”
That infuriated me. There was only one person who had a say in what I did with my body. That person was me.
Driven by the tumultuous combination of the simmering desire that needed a relief valve and irritation at the knowledge my brother most likely would have an opinion if he knew anything about this, I hooked my index finger over the last closed button on Walker’s shirt. His skin was warm against my knuckle. There was no tie for me to yank off, since he’d divested himself of that hours ago, so this would have to do.
When I pulled him closer, Walker rested a hand on the wall, just beside my shoulder as the full heat and strength of his body covered mine from head to toe.
“I didn’t say that would stop me,” he murmured right before our lips collided.
As wild as I felt inside, our kiss burst into flames, rushing like a brush fire. Walker angled his head to the side as I arched into him, gasping when he fit his mouth over mine and swept his tongue inside. After a deep sweep of his tongue against mine, he drew back, gentling our kiss just as quickly. He dusted a kiss on one corner of my mouth and then the other, turning my insides to molten lava.
Electricity was zinging through my body so fast, I couldn’t contain it. My legs shifted and my hips rocked into the hard, hot press of Walker’s arousal, which was cradled at my hips. I whimpered when he brushed his lips across mine and teased my tongue with his again.
In another hot second, our kiss was all-consuming. Walker was a master at kissing, his hand sliding into my hair as he angled my head just so to most effectively plunder my mouth with sensual, maddening strokes of his tongue. By the time he pulled back again, lightly catching my bottom lip with his teeth, it was a good thing I had the wall behind me. Without it, I almost certainly would have collapsed.
While we stood there, I could feel the rapid beat of his heart where his chest was pressed against mine. My own heartbeat was totally out of control, and I had to gulp air with messy breaths. The sound of footsteps coming up the first flight of stairs below us barely filtered through the haze in my mind.
Walker gave his head a shake and straightened. “Let’s go.”
I’d never had this kind of experience where I didn’t want any physical distance between us. Whether Walker felt the same or not, he kept his arm around me as he guided me up the next flight of stairs. His hand slid lower on my waist, and his fingers splayed over the curve of my bottom. I savored every point of contact. His touch was like a brand on me. The brush of his hips against mine was warm with each step, and the curve of his shoulder sheltered me as we moved in unison.
I couldn’t tell you if we moved quickly or not. I was in a haze, an almost dream-like state, with every cell in my body vibrating with anticipation.
Just before we reached our room, someone said Walker’s name. I reflexively followed his gaze as he paused and angled back to look over his shoulder. Dave and Jenny stood there at the end of the hallway.
“Just wanted to say thanks, man,” Dave called. “Don’t forget what I said earlier.”
A grin stretched across Walker’s face. “Of course not. We’ll see you in the morning, right?”
“You sure will,” Jenny replied with a smile. At that, they waved and turned to step into what I presumed was the honeymoon suite.
The heat banked in Walker’s eyes nearly took my breath away. “Shall we?”
I couldn’t even speak and simply nodded. Walker propelled me forward with a gentle, coaxing pressure. There were only a few more feet to our door. Seeing as I didn’t even know where my key card was, I was relieved Walker quickly produced his from the pocket inside his suit jacket. Seconds later, the door was clicking shut behind us.
In a flash, Walker had turned and pressed me against the door. “Now, where were we?” he murmured, right before his mouth claimed mine again in a kiss for the ages.
By the time we came up for air, I was positive that particular kiss needed to be documented in some history book. If there was a history book of kisses, a chapter should be dedicated to Walker’s kisses. Hot, wet, teasing, and sensual, his kisses overpowered all of my senses and left me in a puddle of want.
Although it had been a while since I’d been intimate with anyone, I knew exactly what I wanted. Walker. Naked. Now.
Chapter Thirteen
Walker
When Jade moaned into our kiss, what little control I had almost snapped. She arched her hips against me, and I became painfully aware of just how deeply I wanted her. I was rock-hard, my cock swollen and tight in my dress slacks. Ever since I’d zipped up her dress hours and hours ago, I’d been in a state of unsettled arousal.
Her mouth was warm and pliant under mine, and her tongue was a maddening tease. My fingers curled against the door as one of her hands deftly unbuttoned my shirt. When her warm palm coasted over my skin as she pushed it out of the way, it was a special form of hell.
Maybe I was crazy enough to ignore the fact Lucas would have my head if he knew I had my hands all over his sister, but I definitely didn’t think he would appreciate that Jade already drew clear lines around what we could have. To make matters worse, the burning need I felt for Jade was unrivaled. I couldn’t stop it, or contain it.
She wore this soft silky dress that flowed over her curves. Now that she was plastered against me, I was acutely aware of just how good she felt. I could feel the press of her tight nipples against me, and the moist heat at the apex of her thighs. Her tongue teased sensually with mine, and the sounds she made in the back of her throat had my balls tightening.
I could feel myself almost stumbling internally with lust whipping through me like a storm. Needing something, anything, to help me regain control, I tore my lips free from hers and pressed hot kisses along her jawline. I slid my hand down her side, savoring the soft give of her flesh. I gave into the urge and coasted my palm over her belly before sliding up.
Jade was a mixture of tomboy and deep femininity. I could feel the strength of her body in every move she made, and yet, her curves were generous. The weight of her breast in my palm was delicious. The sound of her breath catching in her throat when I teased my thumb over the taut peak of her nipple nearly undid me.
She murmured something indecipherable, and I lifted my head. “Yes?” I lightly squeezed my thumb and forefinger around her nipple.
Jade’s dark hair was falling around her shoulders in a messy tousle. Her lips were swollen and pink, and I wanted to pull her dress up around her waist and fuck her right here and right now against the door. Her head fell back with a soft thump. Her breasts rose and fell with every ragged breath.
