and angry with himself for not being able to walk away. “Is it the fireman thing? Does that turn you on? Or do you just want to join the list of women who can claim they’ve fucked me? See what all the fuss is about?”
She stiffened against him, her fingers closing over his hand that cupped her breast. He thought he’d finally done it, shocked her back into her senses with his crude words. But then she dragged his hand away from her breast, down her stomach and beneath her tiny skirt.
“Does it matter why?” she whispered, pressing his hand between her legs. “I just want you, Todd.”
An odd combination of frustration and triumph surged through him. Beneath the thin fishnets and satiny panties, he could feel just how hot she was. Damp. Getting to her pussy was like an obstacle course, but he maneuvered a finger through the barriers until he found the humid flesh of her sex.
He sank a finger shallowly into her channel and groaned at how wet she was. How tightly her flesh gripped him.
Kate was a damn fool to initiate such a high-stakes game with him. He wasn’t the good guy she thought him to be, and he’d prove it by not walking away tonight like he should—like she probably expected him to. Instead sweet and bubbly Kate—or Red —was going to get fucked until her eyes crossed.
“Last chance to come to your senses, Red,” he said, nibbling the soft shell of her ear, while sliding his finger up to rub her hard little clit. “You can walk away now, or you can climb into my truck and know exactly what you’re getting into.”
She didn’t even hesitate, just clenched her thighs around his hand and gasped, “Your truck.”
Todd closed his eyes and let the air seethe out from between his teeth. He was officially toast.
He pulled her blouse back up over her breasts, while stroking her clit once more. Finally, he slid his finger out of her sweet pussy and let her skirt fall back into place, but not before he gave her soft round ass a quick squeeze.
“Then go and wait for me,” he said gruffly. “I need to run back inside and grab my keys.”
She gave a shaky nod and didn’t look at him, just stumbled off in those amazing come-fuck-me heels and then climbed into his truck.
Todd finally jerked his gaze away and headed toward the house, his jaw flexing. Everyone inside would know what was about to happen if they’d seen him and Kate go outside. But fuck it, he didn’t care right now. Couldn’t begin to care. All that mattered was Kate.
He’d just grabbed his keys, thinking he might be getting off easy, when Ellie intercepted him at the door.
“You take her back to your place,” she warned, eyes blazing with warning. “And you remember who you’re with tonight. She’s not like one of your normal girls, Todd.”
“Ellie—”
“And don’t worry, Tyson will never know we had this conversation.”
Todd bit back the urge to snarl a curse at the confirmation that Ellie had been involved with this little seduction plan of Kate’s.
“I’ll take her home,” he replied darkly and shook his head. “Just remember you helped set this in motion.”
He saw the wariness in her eyes, maybe regret, before he turned and walked away. He left Ryan’s house, relieved that neither of his brothers had spotted him.
Ellie’s reminder might’ve been grating, but it was needed. He’d been damn close to driving a few miles down the road and fucking Kate in the back of his truck.
But he needed to slow things down, because she was Kate, and no matter how much of a fantasy she was trying to present tonight, he damn well needed to remember exactly whom he was going to wake up next to.
Which led to one big glaring question that he wasn’t about to analyze.
Just how much he was going to regret this in the morning?
Chapter Seven
Oh God, it had actually worked .
Kate’s heart raced a mile a minute as she sat in the darkened truck. Her body tingled with arousal and need, even as her nerves got so bad she
