Excerpt:
Aidan was already in the pool when I walked outside. I couldn't help but gawk at his wet chest as it glistened in the moonlight. I had drunk enough wine tonight to feel bold and did not turn my eyes away when he caught me staring.
Normally I would've felt uncomfortable taking off my cover up with his eyes directly on me. But tonight I didn't feel that way at all. Something about the way that he was looking at me told me that things were now different between us. What I once considered as only friendship, now felt like more.
As I slowly lifted the flimsy dress over my head, I heard the sharp intake of Aidan's breath. “Wow, Jade, you are beautiful. I knew that suit would be gorgeous on you.”
With any other man, I wouldn't have believed him. I would have thought that he was feeding me lines. After all, I had learned the hard way that men didn't always tell the truth. Some would say only what you wanted to hear with no real truth behind the words. But with Aidan looking at me the way he was, I believed every single word he said.
“Jade, come get in the water,” he commanded.
That's all he had to say. My feet began to move on their own and before I knew it, I was standing before him in the shallow end of the pool.
We continued to stare silently at each other until his voice broke through my haze. “Remember when I told you to get used to me kissing you?”
I slowly nodded as if in a trance.
“Well, I hope you did just that, because damn it, I need to taste your lips you right now.”
Before I could respond he wrapped his strong arms around my waist and pulled me tightly against him. He pushed his other hand into my hair and gazed into my eyes as he held my head steady.
“I've been wanting to do this all night,” he said as he lowered his head to mine.
Without hesitation, his tongue demanded that I open to him and possessively thrust its way inside. His tongue licked and swirled and I continued to fight for my breath. My head was spinning and I didn't know if the intoxicating feeling was from the kiss or from the wine.
It was all so much, so sudden, that I pushed myself back as I gasped for air. I wasn't frightened, but I was a little overwhelmed and I guess it appeared on my face.
He softly ran his fingers down my cheek and I could tell that he was trying to find the right words to say. “I want you to know that I would never hurt you, Jade. Whenever you want me to slow down, I will. But please don't tell me to stop."
