lustful thoughts.
    “It’s good you like it.” His mouth and brain weren’t on the same page as the dumb-as-shit comment came out. He didn’t want to do any talking right now; he wanted to do more feeling than anything. Feeling her writhe as he teased her wet center with his mouth, feeling her body start to slip toward completion as he plunged his fingers inside her center and feeling her buck wildly as he let her ride him with abandon. Yeah, that sounded better than this idle chitchat they had going on.
    “I guess it is.” She smiled and he felt his resolve slipping.
    “I’m gonna get going, thanks for the beer.” He stepped through the glass door and made a b-line for the front door.
    “Hey, Luke?”
    Damn, why did she have to say anything? Couldn’t she just let him slip out so he could go home and relieve the massive ache residing in his pants? “Yeah?” his voice came out pained.
    “Why did you come by?” Her eyes searched his.
    He wanted to tell her the truth but he couldn’t. “Just wanted to say hi.” He shrugged while he lied.
    “Oh, okay. Thanks for stopping by. I’ll see you Friday for our date.” She threw him a heart-stopping smile.
    “If not before then. Goodnight, Ava.”
    “Goodnight, Luke. Sweet dreams.”
    He hightailed it out the door and didn’t look back. When was the last time someone told him ‘sweet dreams’? How about never. Not even his piece-of-shit mother whispered saccharine words like that to him at bedtime. Hell, the good-for-nothing bitch wasn’t around half the time to say anything at all. Sweet dreams . No, he wouldn’t be having sweet dreams tonight. They would be ones filled with a thousand and one ways he could make Ava scream his name.
    When he made it to his truck, Luke hopped inside and grabbed the listening device from his console. He didn’t visit Ava to say ‘hi.’ He was there to plant a bug in her house. If he was supposed to keep an eye on her, he needed to know who she was talking to and when. He set the device on the channel that would pick up the bug he’d placed under the lone end table. He cranked up the volume to make sure everything was placed correctly. What he heard shocked the hell out of him.
    “Damn you, Luke Daughtry. If you’d have just stuck around and taken care of this ache.” Ava’s voice came out a little scratchy through the device but Luke knew he didn’t hear her wrong. She sure as hell said that. It took every bit of strength he had not to fling open the door of his truck, bang on her door and demand that she let him take care of her ache. Deciding it was best to just walk away, he started the engine and drove off. His thoughts began to race as he headed home. I wonder if she’ll slide her slim fingers between her legs tonight and call out my name when she comes? He knew for damn sure he’d be doing that very same thing in about ten minutes when he arrived home. He couldn’t wait to hear what Ava’s name sounded like as he felt the sensations of orgasm creeping up his spine.
     

 
    Chapte r Fiv e
    The week seemed to creep by as Ava did her best to control the excitement for her impending date with Luke. She didn’t know what to expect, but the sparks that’d flown during their brief time together on her deck while overlooking the ocean were a pretty good indication of things to come. Did she want that? Did she need someone like him to waltz in and take her body by storm? She didn’t need it but she sure as hell wanted it. It’d been way too long in the naughty department of her life. Even when she was in a relationship with her now ex, she hadn’t felt the same pull as she did when Luke was in the same room.
    Hell, he didn’t even have to be in the same room for her breasts to become tender and her lace panties to be permeated with moisture. One thought about how virile and fit he was had her clenching her jaw trying to stave off the chills that racked her spine. It was inevitable that something explosive
