Dangerous Fling (Dangerous Noise 4)

She rises to her tiptoes and brushes her lips against mine.

I should pull back and remind her we're no strings attached.

That I'm not big on kissing, period.

That I only kiss as foreplay.

I don't pull back.

I slide my hands to her ass.

I hold her body against mine.

And I kiss her hard enough to cause a scene.

And I still fucking want more of her lips and her tongue and her sighs when we pull back.

Her cheeks flush as her lips spread to a smile—that same relaxed smile. "I should probably let you lead, since I don't know where we're going for lunch."

"Sounds reasonable." My hand nestles into the crook of her waist. She leans into my body, purring as I run my fingers over the curve of her hip.

Damn, she's responsive.

I push replays of our fuck on the couch from my mind for long enough to lead her to the restaurant. I motion to the Seat Yourself sign then lead us to a corner table on the balcony.

Lacey looks around with that same wonder as she takes her seat—the one facing the beach.

The sun is high in the bright sky. The deep blue ocean goes for miles in every direction.

We're under the shade of an umbrella. It offers a respite from the heat. And a modicum of privacy.

Lacey pulls off her sunglasses and folds them on the table. Her brown eyes are filled with wonder. It's the same way she was looking at me on that couch— like she'd die if she couldn't get more of this.

I fold my sunglasses on the table. We watch the waves crash into the beach until our server comes with menus and waters.

I take in her expression. "You want fish tacos."

"I do?"

I nod. "You do."

"I trust you." She turns to the waiter. "Two orders of fish tacos. And an iced tea."

"For you?" He takes our menus.

"Water."

He gives me that don't I know you from someplace look, but he doesn't say anything about it. "That will be out shortly."

Her lips curl into a smile as her eyes meet mine. "You eat carbs."

"Hard to believe?"

"No…" She holds her hands in her lap. "I can't remember the last time I took a Saturday off to do something fun."

"We're working."

"Right now?"
