Enchanted (The Accidental Billionaires #4)(24)

Andie was like bright sunlight after spending a very long time in a dark cave. I was grateful for it, but looking at it hurt like the devil.

What in the hell was it about this mesmerizing female that kept my balls in her tight little grasp?

Hell, I knew it was all wrong for me to want her this damn badly, but I couldn’t seem to stop it from happening.

Stupidly, I wasn’t all that sure I wanted to stop it.

Being with Andie made me feel more alive than I’d felt in a very long time, and feeling that happy was seductive.

My heart nearly stopped as she leaned across my lap, bringing her body into full contact with mine.

I could smell her light, flowery scent. Maybe it was just her shampoo, but my cock didn’t seem to give a damn exactly where Andie’s sexy fragrance was coming from. It was so appealing that I was hard the instant I smelled it.

She leaned back up, her head near my shoulder. “Seat belt,” she muttered as she pulled it out to fasten it beside my hip. “Some drivers here can be a little bit frightening.”

Little did she understand that she scared me a lot more than a limo driver ever could.

I wrapped an arm around her before she could move. “Andie?” I had no idea why I’d said her name. All I knew was that I didn’t want her to move away.

“Yes.” She sounded breathless, and her cheeks were suddenly pink, a fact I suspected had nothing to do with the sun we’d just been exposed to in the old Mayan city.

She was so close that I could feel her breath against my cheek.

Don’t do it, dumbass. Don’t kiss her.

I ignored my better judgment. I was way beyond any desire to listen to my common sense.

I buried my hand in her hair and pulled her closer, and then I did what I’d wanted to do since the moment she’d stolen my computer.

I choked back a groan when I absorbed the sensation of her soft, silken mouth as it fused to mine.

She tasted like sunshine and sultry temptation, and it was a combination that was completely irresistible.

I plundered her mouth because I needed to get closer to her.

That desire got even fiercer as she opened for me to go deeper. She was beckoning me inside of her, and I sure as hell wasn’t going to deny either one of us.

In that moment, she was fucking mine.

Her arms wound around my neck, and she pushed her curves against my hard body. And holy hell! We fit so perfectly that it was like she was made for me.

Mine!

I was greedy, and I ran my hand up and down her back, wishing to hell we were both naked, and not in the back of a vehicle.

I wanted those generous curves beneath my fingers.

I wanted to touch every inch of her.

I wanted this woman screaming my name while I made her come.

When we finally came up for air, we were both panting. My fingers still buried in her hair, I used the silken strands to tilt her head toward me, which was an enormous mistake.

I could see the same longing that I was feeling reflected in her eyes, and I nearly lost it. “Andie,” I said gruffly. “Don’t ask me to apologize for that. I can’t.”

There was no way I could be sorry for what had just happened. Kissing her had been one of the best things that had ever happened to me. I sure as fuck wasn’t going to regret it.

“Don’t,” she said with a shake of her head. “I’m not sorry, either. I wanted it just as much as you did. And neither one of us is involved with somebody else.”

Hell, I highly doubted that she’d wanted it as much as I had. I’d wanted it pretty damn badly. And worse, it had hardly touched on all of the things I wanted from Andie Lawrence.

She moved back to her side. My hand fell out of her hair as she reached for her own seat belt and buckled up.

“I haven’t been with a woman for a very long time,” I confessed.

Shit! Why in the hell did I mention that?

Maybe because it was true, and I felt inept?

She shot me a confused look. “Is that why you kissed me? Because it’s been a long time for you?”

I shook my head slowly. “No.” I refused to lie to her. “You’re the first woman who has ever made me feel this way. For fuck’s sake, Andie, I’m not using you because you’re a convenient female and we’re on vacation.”

“How do you feel?” she asked cautiously, turning her gaze away from mine.

Exhilarated.

Alive.

Fascinated.

Carefree.

And maybe . . . happy?

Hell, if this was what happiness really felt like, sign me up for more. I was completely addicted, and probably totally fucked.





CHAPTER 9

ANDIE



There was no way in hell I was going to get through another ten days without climbing into Noah’s bed one night and begging him to put me out of my hormonal misery.

Ever since that extraordinary kiss two days earlier, I was finding it very difficult to see myself as Noah’s friend.

I yanked the earbuds from my ears as I sat cross-legged on the floor in my bedroom of the suite.

I’d been trying for the last ten minutes to clear my head with meditation.

And I’d failed for the last ten minutes to put Noah out of my mind.

It hadn’t helped that I’d had one of the most erotic dreams I’d ever experienced in my life the night before.
