Dangerous Rock (Dangerous Noise 3)

She shakes her head. "You have?"

Yeah, but I can't seem to recall anything major at the moment.

This close to her, it's hard to recall anything, period.

"Do you want to be a lawyer?" I ask.

She presses her lips together. "That's the plan."

"But is it what you want?"

"I don't know. I've never stopped to think about what I want." Her voice is a whisper. "My entire life, I've had this plan. Without it, I have nothing. I have no idea what I'm going to do."

"Did you plan on marrying a stranger in Vegas?"

"No. But we're… we're going to get a divorce and that will be…" Her eyes turn down. "I don't know, Joel… I don't know what I'm supposed to do here. I like you. A lot. I don't want to like you. Not if this is ending in a week." Her cheeks flush as she looks me in the eyes. "Right now… it hurts thinking about this."

I get that.

"Did you mean what you said?" Even though no one else is here, she leans in to whisper. "About touching me then making me wait."

My cock stirs. That will get her out of her head. And I don't exactly mind. "Yeah."

"Will you do it?"

"Only if you beg."

"Will you… Will you touch me? Please."

I want to.

But I'm not sure now is the time.

I run my fingers over her cheek.

She lets out a soft murmur as her eyes flutter closed. Already, the tension in her brow is easing.

This is what she needs.

She looks up at me. "Please, Joel." She slides her hand under my t-shirt and presses her palm against my stomach. "Please touch me."

I stare back at her. "Don't blame me when you're desperate and wanting the entire drive home."

Her voice gets confident. "I won't."

Fuck, the fierce look in her eyes…

I slide my hand around her neck and pin her to the rock.

She groans as she kisses me.

Her tongue slides into my mouth.

Her body melts against mine.

Her fingers dig into my arms.

Her touch is soft and hard at once.
