She was stunning. There was no other word for it.
Stunning and sexy and mine.
Her deep blue eyes glistened, enhanced by smoky gray liner and silver shadow, giving them a dramatic look. She must have put on a bit of mascara because her lashes went on for miles. Clear gloss made him want to lick her lips, and save for a pair of classic diamond studs in her ears, she wore no other jewelry.
Her hair was secured to the side, a loose golden knot that sat near her right shoulder—a shoulder that was bare. A shoulder that was creamy and soft and so damn mouthwatering, it was hard for Mac to tear his gaze away. He wanted to lick the spot where her neck met her collarbone and then he wanted to work his way up to that delicious indent just under her ear. And then he wanted to…
Mac took a step toward her.
He wanted to take her back to his place and rip the ice-blue dress from her. Inch by inch. With his teeth.
It clung to her curves, a soft sheen of silk that invited the eye to study…the hand to touch, and the mouth to taste. It was a hot, sexy piece of material that was meant to entice, and it had done the job. Holy hell had it done the job because he wanted Lily naked. God, he wanted her naked right now.
“Mackenzie,” she said softly. “I didn’t hear the doorbell.”
“Screw the gala. Let’s head straight to my place.” Nothing like getting right to the point, but it was all he had right now. He’d been waiting to see her again since Monday night, and now that he had her within his grasp, he sure as hell didn’t want to share her with anyone.
Surprise lit her eyes, but only for a moment. It was replaced with something that smoldered—he knew she was very much aware of the affect she had on him.
A soft smile touched her lips. “But then no one would see my dress.”
“Good.”
Her eyes darkened and that delectable tongue darted out to lick lips that he needed to kiss.
He took another step toward her.
“I bought this dress specifically for the gala.”
“No you didn’t.”
He took two more strides until he was close enough to smell that fresh, exotic scent of hers. His eyes pinned her and he knew that she saw his need because he saw the same thing reflected in her eyes. It was some kind of power.
“You’re so sure of yourself,” she said throatily, her voice a sexy whisper.
“You bought the dress for me.”
“And why would I do that?”
“You knew it would drive me crazy.”
She laughed, a soft, sexy sound. “That wouldn’t be very nice of me now, would it?”
“I don’t think you’re a very nice lady.”
She pouted. “I’m hurt, Mackenzie.”
“Don’t be hurt.” His mouth was close to hers now. “I’m good with you not being nice.” He breathed in her scent. “In fact I’m more than good with it.”
Mac brushed his lips across Lily’s mouth and smiled when she shuddered.
So. Goddamn. Hot.
The way she reacted to him.
He rested his forehead against hers and took a moment to collect himself. How the hell were they going to make it through this night? Already his dick was hard and the visuals in his mind weren’t exactly making things easy.
“I’m still here in case either of you cared.” Maddison’s voice came from somewhere behind them, but Mac didn’t give a flying fuck about her sister.
