he sitting here when she was halfway across the room, looking more beautiful than anything he’d seen in a long time, if ever?
    Damn, he wanted her. He didn’t care if it was stupid. He knew what he wanted. And he always went after what he wanted.
    Giving in to the inevitable, he pushed himself up from the couch and moved toward her. “You weren’t thinking of practicing with someone else, were you?”
    Her shoulders sagged as if she’d been caught plotting to do just that. “No, of course not.”
    “Good.” Brandon approached slowly, his gaze never leaving hers. “Because I wouldn’t want to hear any rumors of unbridled kissing going on.”
    “You won’t, I promise,” she murmured as she inched backward.
    “I hope not.”
    “Nothing unbridled, anyway,” she said, biting back a smile.
    “You think that’s funny?” he asked, inches away now. “There’s nothing funny about unbridled kissing.”
    “I’m sure you’re right,” she said, nodding slowly.
    “Oh, believe me, I am.” From this close, he could see a dusting of freckles across her cheeks and nose that he’d never noticed before.
    “Brandon?” She chewed on her lower lip, nearly driving him crazy. “What are you…”
    “Shh,” he said, watching her delectable mouth. When it curved into a smile aimed directly at him, he couldn’t see any possible way to resist temptation. So he did what any other man would do in his position. He kissed her.
    And wondered if he’d ever feasted on anything half as sweet.
    Her taste was even more incredible than he remembered and he wanted all of her. He angled his head and deepened the kiss, feeling an urgent need to touch her, to bury himself in her. Enveloping her in his arms, he breathed in her delicious scent as he planted light kisses along her neck, forcing himself to go slowly.
    “Brandon, I know you didn’t want—”
    “Shh.” He pushed aside the neckline of her T-shirt and kissed the skin of her shoulder. “I want.”
    “Are you sure?” she whispered.
    “That’s my line, sweetheart,” he said with a sideways glance.
    “Oh.” She stared at him, her bright eyes sparkling in the soft light. “Well, I’m sure. I’m really, really sure.”
    “That’s all I wanted to hear.”
    “Please,” she murmured.
    “That, too.” He slid his hand up her side until he reached the swell of her breast. With his thumb, he did what he’d wanted to do all day, teasing her nipple through the material until he felt it stiffen.
    “Please don’t stop,” she moaned.
    “I wouldn’t dream of it.” He lowered his head and covered her mouth with his. The pleasure was instant, intense. How had he waited all day to do this?
    She was eager and opened her mouth to welcome him into her warmth, wrapping her arms around his neck to bring them closer.
    “I want my hands on you, Kelly,” he muttered.
    “Mmm, I want that, too.”
    It was all the encouragement he needed. He swept her into his arms in an effortless move and walked toward the bed.
    “Oh, I like that,” she said, her lips curved in a sweet smile.
    “Babe, you ain’t seen nothing yet.”
    She cuddled in his arms and rained little kisses along his neck and shoulder. When they reached the bed, he placed her gently on top of the covers, then knelt and straddled her. Reaching for the hem of her T-shirt, he lifted it up and off in one swift move. With her arms raised languidly above her head and her lustrous hair spread over the pillow, she looked like the stuff of Brandon’s dreams. He had to force himself to take it slow and easy as he slid his hand under her back and unclipped her bra in one smooth move.
    “You are gorgeous,” he whispered reverently.
    She smiled as she reached up and caressed his cheek, almost as though she couldn’t quite believe he was real, either. Brandon wasn’t sure he’d ever felt quite so alive as he did in this moment. He bent his head to her breasts and took first one nipple, then the other into his mouth. She
