Gina fought to control her anger at his continued laughter at her expense.
As if sensing this, Connor grew serious. “I went down to the hotel pool for a swim to work off some pent-up energy after calling you. After that, I went straight to bed. Alone. Turns out a cleaning lady found my cell phone on a chair by the pool. The hotel returned it to me the next morning. I didn’t realize that you’d called.”
Searching his eyes for any hint of deceit, Gina was hard-pressed to find it. Oddly enough, she believed him. He didn’t have to lie to her. He had never made any promises to her, nor were they officially in a relationship.
“While we’re clearing up ‘misunderstandings’, I really did send the wrong attachment by accident, I wasn’t hitting on you,” Gina mumbled, pride making her want to clear up his earlier misconception.
Connor threw his head back and laughed harder this time. His body shook with amusement. “I know that. I only said that earlier to get a rise out of you. Man, Gina, you should have seen the look on your face that day in your office when I started reading out your little list.
“I have never seen the color drain out of anyone’s face faster. I thought I was going to have to resuscitate you.” Brushing a finger along her jaw, he continued, “A little mouth-to-mouth to get you breathing again.” His finger dipped into her mouth, running along the edges of her teeth.
Unable to resist, Gina sucked his finger into her mouth.
Connor closed his eyes and moaned, his cock hardening instantly, pressing against her bottom. He moved in a failed attempt to relieve the pressure and inadvertently pressed Gina against the steering wheel. The resulting car horn making them both jump in surprise.
“Ah shit, Gina. Why is it that our timing is always off? The last time I made out in car was in high school. I’m too old for this. We need to find a proper bed.”
“I don’t know, Connor, I think our timing has been just fine, considering you were able to help me check off all five items on my wish list.” Her hand slid seductively down his chest, over his stomach to stop and cup him in her hand. Her building desire making her bold, she squeezed tenderly, with just enough pressure to elicit a groan from him.
“Gina—I’m warning you,” he growled when she teased him with a long, wet kiss.
Grabbing hold of her face again, he pulled her back enough to look her directly in the eye. “No more running away from me, from this. And I swear to God, Gina, I better not see another man’s hands on you…” Shaking his head, his words trailed off threateningly.
Connor leaned down and bit at her lip and with a devilish glint in his eye, asked, “Gina, did you ever consider putting ‘spanking’ on your wish list?” His palm landing with a delicious tingle on her ass, making her jump on his lap.
At the shock in her eyes, Connor’s gaze turned hot with erotic mischief. “Gina, Gina, we have so much more to look forward to. Just you and me, baby.”
She told herself that she shouldn’t be slick at the thought of his promised spanking, but the tell-tale trickle along her folds told a different story. Then again, Connor had taken her to new heights, giving her more pleasure than she had ever imagined.
Perhaps it was time to make a new list. This time with Connor as an equal contributor. Hmm, the delicious possibilities…
