Live Without Regret (A Touch of Fate 3)

“Brunch? Do people really have brunch?”

“Yes,” she says, shoving playfully at my chest. “Well, I think they do.” She furrows her brow. “Or maybe just my mom and I do. Anyway, I’m supposed to meet her at ten-thirty, and I really should get home and shower beforehand.”

I smirk. “What, you don’t want to go with that fresh I-just-had-the-best-sex-of-my-life look?”

“No,” she says, laughing. “As far as I’m concerned, my mother can keep believing I’m a virgin.”

“Riiiiight.” Trailing my lips down her neck, I suck lightly. “Maybe I should leave you with a parting gift?”

Brittany springs from the bed so fast I don’t even have time to react. “Oh hell no,” she says, holding her hands out.

Seriously? Like that could stop me. But it’s cute that she thinks it could. Sweeping my eyes down her naked body, I take a moment to stare at her.

She glances down as though she just realized she’s in her birthday suit. “Crap,” she hisses, covering her gorgeous tits with her arm. Bending down, she looks around, presumably for her clothes.

Flinging the sheet off, I climb out of bed, tug her arm away from her chest, and haul her in close. “Don’t hide from me,” I say, running my fingertips along her chest. Her eyes drift down, watching my hand as I brush my fingers across the swell of each breast. “Not after what we just did.” Placing a finger under her chin, I lift her face to meet mine. “Your body is perfect. I should know, since I just spent hours worshiping every single inch of it. In fact, what are your plans for tonight? Because there are a few spots I’d like to examine a little closer.”

Brittany shivers, a light flush infusing her cheeks. I can’t help but wonder what it would take to make her flush like that all over. I think I have an idea, but it’ll have to wait until tonight.

My fingers skate down her chest, flicking at her nipple before squeezing it gently. I swear I hear Brittany purr. Apparently, that’s all it takes to make my cock hard again. Okay, who am I kidding? It was full-on throbbing the second her naked ass jumped out of the bed, putting all of her glorious curves on display. But now…now I’m rock solid, and the object of my affection is trying to leave.

Out of nowhere, Brittany starts laughing. She pulls back just enough to look down at my straining erection. “No.” Shaking her head, she places both hands on my chest and nudges me away. “I have to go. If I miss brunch, my mother will know that something is up and she won’t stop until she figures out what it is.”

“Something is up,” I say, waggling my eyebrows. Like a predator stalking its prey, I take a measured step toward her.

“Connor,” she warns, stepping back. “Don’t touch me.”

I stop dead in my tracks. No means no, and I don’t take something like that lightly. I just don’t like hearing it come from her mouth. “Why can’t I touch you?”

“Because my body craves your body, and if you put your hands on me, I won’t leave. I’ll stay and let you fuck me, loving every second of it, but I really need to go.”

“I love that answer, baby.” Bending down, I pick up her shirt and toss it at her. “You have two seconds to put that on or I’m gonna pounce.” Brittany giggles, tugging the shirt over her head. Grabbing my shorts off the floor, I slip them on and adjust my dick. “Can I touch you now?”

She nods, almost shyly, and takes a step toward me. Slipping her fingers in the waistband of my shorts, she pulls me toward her. I snake my arms around her waist. “What time do you get off?”

Her warm body is pressed against mine, but I can’t seem to think about anything other than the fact that she isn’t wearing pants—or underwear. All I need to do is brush my fingers along her pussy, find her clit, and she’ll be mine for the next two hours.

“Connor.” Fingers snap in front of my face, pulling me from my thoughts.

“Huh?”

“I asked what time you get off tonight.”

“Oh, ummm”—I run a hand down my face, trying to focus on her question—“my last client is at four. I should be done by five-thirty.”

“Perfect,” she says, kissing my cheek. “I was thinking I could make you supper.”

“What are you going to make?”

“I’m not sure yet. I’ll surprise you. Is there anything you don’t like?”

“Are you kidding?” I say, laughing. “Hell no. I’ll eat just about anything.”

Brittany smiles, giving me a soft kiss before she starts rummaging around for the rest of her clothes. I watch her get dressed, all the while wondering how strange it is that I’m already missing the feel of her body against mine.

Get a grip, Connor. She’s two feet away, and you’ll see her tonight.
