For The One(143)

God, I loved this man.

Even when he was driving me bonkers. And not just with his maddening tongue.

“So when will that be? Tomorrow? Next week? I need a dress, at least.”

“You could wear rags and still be the most beautiful bride on the planet. Because you’ll be my bride.”

“Mmm. You’re getting better at that flattery thing.” His hands were rubbing now, in all the right places. I shifted against him. “And you’re still pretty damn good at the hands thing.”

“So, let’s call this a draw, then?” I could feel him pressing at my entrance, and my grip tightened on the edge of the counter.

“I think I could do that.”

Just before he entered me, he leaned forward and whispered a date in my ear. After that, it was a mad, passionate blur of ferocious kitchen sex. We hadn’t done that in a while. And by the end, I wasn’t quite sure I remembered the date right, so I had to ask him again.

Meh, so I’d had to seduce it out of him, but damned if hadn’t been fun.

That was just how Mr. Drake and I rolled. Win-win.

But, of course, being a man—and being Adam—he had to ruin the moment just as I was gloating that I’d gotten the intel from him.

“Sure, you know when…but I didn’t tell you where, now did I?”

Men.
