I Choose You by Bethany Lopez Read Free Book Online

each other’s eyes as they moved, and she felt her body warm under Kent’s gaze.
                  He was one sexy man.
                  When the band began to play a slower song, Kent gathered her into his arms and they swayed to the music.
                  Nicole’s head rested against his strong chest, and she enjoyed the feel of being in Kent’s arms.
                  They danced for hours, and didn’t end up leaving until the band started to pack up at the end of their set.
                  They rode back to Nicole’s apartment in a comfortable silence, and Nicole replayed the evening they’d just spent together, over in her mind.
                  Nicole came back to reality when they pulled into her place and Kent said softly, “We’re here.”
                  He walked her to her door, and they both paused before she went inside.
                  “I had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for everything,” Nicole said as she looked up at him.
                  “It was my pleasure,” Kent replied as he reached a hand up and gently touched her hair. “You’re so beautiful.”
                  Nicole felt her face grow warm with pleasure and started to deny his claim, but stopped when he reached his other hand out to touch the side of her face. He leaned in slowly to taste her lips with his.
                  Nicole felt like she’d been waiting for this moment for months. Without thinking, she reached her hands up to pull his head in closer, moaning softly as she opened her mouth and greedily invited him in.
                  Kent paused for a moment, shocked at her response, then his instincts took over and he pushed her up against the door. His hands moved lower to explore her body, and they both got swept away in the moment.
                  When his hand brushed the underside of her breast, she turned her head to catch her breath, causing him to stop and back up a step.
                  “Sorry,” Kent said quietly. He ran his hands over his face in an effort to gain a semblance of control. “I didn’t mean to move so fast.”
                  Nicole smoothed out her dressed, then looked up at him with a smile. “You don’t have to apologize; I enjoyed every bit of that kiss.” With that said, she gave him an embarrassed smile, then leaned in to give him one more quick kiss on the lips, before opening her door and going inside. “Goodnight.”
                  “Night,” Kent replied as she shut the door.
                  He stood there for a minute, his body screaming out at the loss. Taking it slow with Nicole was going to be harder than he thought.
                  He was going to have to go home and take a cold shower.
                 
                 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
                 
                 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Seven
     
                  Nicole and Roni decided to have a small housewarming party, and invited everyone over after work. They didn’t want anything big, just a small gathering with drinks and appetizers.
                  They cleaned up and prepped everything before work, so they would just have to come home and get changed.
                  Nicole finished getting ready first, so she was setting the food out on the counter when the first knock sounded on their door.
                  She tucked a stray stand of golden hair behind her hair, and opened the door. She was caught off guard when Kent swept her up and kissed her until she was breathless.
                  When he put her down she was laughing.
                  “What was that for?” She asked.
                  “I missed you
