She stepped closer until she was pressed against hi that he did not step away “Yes, Darryl?”

“Thishis hands fro the s her in nice and close, even as his voice rang with hesitation

“You’re single, aren’t you?”

“I am”

She could feel his resistance in the tightness of his shoulders Yet there was only heat, desire, and need in his saze “I leave after Christmas day for a job on a cruise ship” That was the next adventure, cruising along the Caribbean, bartending on the open seas She pressed herself against the hardest part of hi, bad way, so what’s the hold up?”

He stared down at her, gaze flaring Hard His jawovertime

“I get it,” she added when silence greeted her “You’re the good guy The one who does the right thing, all the tiirl And this girl wants this good guy in hot, hot ways So, let’s ain, we’ll have a few hts I hate Christmas, and ould make this Christmas better is a whole lot of sex with you”

Darryl’s head tilted just a little as his heated gaze fell to her lips A wild shiver danced froed about hione Here stood ato put hi his mouth closer to hers

She stood on her tiptoes and placed her hands his square chest, feeling the hard thumps of his heartbeat “I know you don’t know this, yet, but that’s what makes me fun”

Frozen solid, not only froainst his, Darryl moaned, pulled under by her spell A spell that most people wouldn’t understand because Penelope didn’t seem to be his type from the outside Sure, she was beautiful, but her personality seemed to be at complete odds with his In fact, he had no doubt, even as his tongue danced with hers and his lipsthe way, she’d cause hiravation

Yet when she leaned away and asked, “All right?” he knew right then, there was no chance he’d walk away from her

He took thefrom her hand and tossed it into the snow drift next to hiain Years had gone by since he felt anything remotely close to what Penelope made him feel with one kiss Want

She planted another kiss on hi a little bitaside that she could becoht her back into his life, and he needed to feel this with her Plus, her taste, her sers into her hair, tilted her head and deepened the kiss, taking it where he wanted it to go To a much dirtier place She athered her in his arht around his waist as he led them back inside He kicked the door shut behind theht a quick flash of beautiful hooded eyes before he pulled the blanket off her shoulders and pressed her back against the wall in his kitchen He kissed her deeper now, letting out the intensity he felt the night he’d given her that first hot kiss

Passion, desire, it’d all felt dead inside hiht that back And Darryl wasn’t thinking repercussions when he carried her up the staircase and entered his bedroom Nor did he think what may happen after this, when he lay her out on the ed out of that before taking his shirt over his head and tossing it aside before lowering his body onto hers

She arched up into hiainst his hardened length Her hands explored hi his chest and stoood touch felt Her lips returned to his, and she gave all of herself in her kiss And he deers into her hair, thrusting his tongue deeper into her ed on by her sexy moans
