“Falling From Disgrace” Excerpt
Jack was somewhat surprised when Adrianna made what she wanted clear by approaching him in his apartment first. He had his share of one night stands and usually the girl would play coy at first, accepting a drink and flirting before the inevitable happened. But Adrianna didn’t play any games and when she put her hands on him he saw the same need he was feeling reflected back at him. He glanced down at those amazing lips of hers once again and then brought his own lips down upon them.
They were just as soft as he’d hoped they’d be.
Adrianna groaned when Jack opened his mouth against hers and his tongue ran softly against her lower lip. He kept it sweet and slow at first but when she brought her hands up to wrap around the back of his head he drove in harder, making deep, sensual sweeps through her mouth. His kiss was murderous, meant to slay her in every way possible, and God, did she think it was going to kill her. He was kissing her, really kissing her, not in the obligatory way that most men did before moving down in a hurry to get on with the real action. He made her feel craved with every flick of his tongue, every caress of his lips, and when he pulled her to him more tightly so that their bodies were flush, a foreign sensation came upon her. She felt… content. This wasn’t about just wanting a distraction from the pain anymore, nor the horrible reality of what her life had become. No, it was much more than that. It was about an attraction, and not just a physical one, between a man and woman who desired one another. Desire. What a difference there was between that and want.
Jack was determined to remain unhurried with Adrianna, to take his time with her, but when she moaned softly into his mouth as he kissed her his restraint was diminished. Fuck, he wanted her and wanted her badly. He brought his hands around to the backs of her thighs and lifted her, her legs wrapping around his waist without being told to do so. He carried her across the room to press her against the wall that led to his bedroom. There he finally moved his mouth from hers to taste the skin of her neck and collarbone. He was pleased to learn that they were just as sweet and soft as her lips, as were her cries when he moved one of his hands to knead the flesh of her breast. When Adrianna squeezed her legs more tightly around him he knew it was time to move this to his bedroom.
