CAN’T BUY ME LOVE
By
Hannah Rowan
One minute he was standing in the newly remodeled kitchen.
The next he was nearly knocked off his feet, enveloped in a happy, squealing
female body as she threw her arms around him, and improbably jumped up and down
at the same time.
“Thank you so much,” she said. “You put in a good word for
me, didn’t you?”
“I might have.”
She fit so nicely in his arms. He hugged her tighter,
savoring the mix of feminine curves and finely toned muscles. He drew in the
now-familiar scent of suntan lotion and some sort of citrusy shampoo, and
finally gave in to what he’d been fantasizing about since his first glimpse of
her stretching outside her car.
With her arms still looped around his shoulders, she leaned
back, grinning up at him. “This is just the best news,” she said.
As he watched, her grin slowly faded. He felt the moment she
grew aware of his body pressing into hers. Her eyes widened, blinked, and she
licked her bottom lip. And that was that.
He threaded his fingers through her hair, drew her head
closer, leaned in to taste those lips himself. She hesitated just for a moment,
but then her arms tightened around him and she gave herself over to the kiss.
Seconds, minutes, long undetermined stretches of time passed
while he lost himself in the sensation of soft lips, silky hair, seductive
scent. His body responded with an insistence he hadn’t felt in ages, with a
wonder he hadn’t felt maybe even since his first few romantic encounters as a
young man. She made no move to pull away, and her soft sighs had his head
spinning.
Finally, they pulled apart, but continued to look into each
other’s eyes. Both breathing hard. Was she as affected by the intensity of that
kiss as he was? He certainly hoped so.#
