"Oh, yeah?" I ask hi with anticipation "What did you have in mind?"

"I'e to your Irish roots," hejust above mine

"They've been feeling neglected as of late," I agree softly, swipingin anticipation

Garrett presses his ainst mine and I open up to him slowly He tastes like cinnaue into his ainst his My hands iht rumble in his chest, his arms come around my waist to pull me in closer to his body He kissesin ht for control of ainst hile in opposition to allow more contactmore penetration

Mouth, lips, teeth, and tongue My hands gripping his hair, his fingers digging intohim into my bedroom and des today seeood idea

Regretfully, Garrett pulls hisa swift bite at ives a soft o Pleasurable pinpricks caress over the area his teeth were just eo of his hair

Taking a step back from me, Garrett's face is flushed and his eyes are hot, and I' a mirror would reflect that I look the same

"That wasum" I start to say, then my words fail me Because I don't kno I could ever just describe that kiss I'd never felt anything like it before Damn sure never started a date off like that before

"Yes, it was," he agrees with a sain"

I don't knohat possesses me to do it Maybe it's the frailty of my life or the fact that Stevie is a terrible influence on me, but I blurt out, "Or maybe more"

Garrett's eyes go fro in a nanosecond He stares at me for a ht explode when he says, "I'll give you whatever you want, Olivia All you have to do is ask me"

So now the question reive me just a kiss at the end of the date, or will I ask hiht?

Chapter 5

Garrett

It's a continual struggle

And fuckI've never struggled like this before

Struggled to keep my cock deflated and my hands to myself

All night I've been warring withcontrol

Practically i to realize is the sexiest woman I've ever been around in ot that loud and clear frohts were--because, hey, I'

Now I'ht not be enough I've never even tasted loss e kissed, but soh

Not with a woman like this

Not with a wo the comedy shoent to, and even snorted once so loud the comedian called her out on it She just doubled over and started laughing so hysterically, I was afraid she'd wet her pants

Not with a woman that pulled out a five-dollar bill and tucked it into the weathered hand of a homeless man we passed on the street as we left the comedy club

Not with a woh h, in search of a quiet bar that we could get a drink in

And certainly not with a woman that sits across frohtfully to every word I say, providing insightful and sohs so sweetly I think she ar and dipped in honey

Yupit's been a struggle all night not to drag her intokiss we had at the start of the date Part of et her back to her apartht kiss But the vastto end I want to sit here with her in this bar and continue to talk until the sun comes up, because for the first ti the company of my date
