and why you had to pick such a deplorable name for me?” Nate whispered close to her ear and noticed her tremble, and was more than satisfied that he still affected her. He breathed through his nostrils and filled his lungs with the light scent of vanilla, and his body pulsed with hot desire.
The searing breath below her ear sent a spear of longing to the pit of her stomach, and Cooper dragged in a gulp of air hoping to quell it. “Because, your dear conniving cousin told my sister his name was Nate. Don't you remember?”
Once more rage swept through him and it took every effort to contain it. “The damn little weasel. I'm going to beat him senseless next time I see him.”
Cooper wasn't surprised that he was angry. “Well if you don't, I certainly intend to.”
Her reply made him grin. “Now that doesn't surprise me at all.” When she blessed him with a saucy smile, his own anger faded and his eyes shone wickedly. “Did I tell you that you're wearing a lovely gown?”
Cooper burst out laughing over the description of the horrible dress. “Oh it certainly is that.”
The soft purring laugh rocked his boat , and he needed to grit his teeth to stop a certain part of his body from reacting. Relieved to hear the music startup, he dragged his eyes from hers and watched the bride and groom dance.
Released from those burning dark gaze, Cooper blew out a breath and watched the couple glide around the dance floor. What was it about this man that had her in a sensual spin? All day, thoughts of him interfered with her work and she desperately needed to get a grip on herself. He would be gone tomorrow and out of her life. She couldn't afford to have any emotional entanglement with him, it would be too perilous and very, very foolish. No, this was just sex and nothing else, hot wild steamy sex and that's all .
When other couples started drifting on the floor, Nate stood up and held out his hand. “Come on let's dance.”
Reluctantly she placed her hand in his and rose to her feet, on the dance floor she didn't hesitate in going into his arms, their eyes met and held as they slowly moved around the room.
It seemed they only just started to dance when the music stopped and tearing his gaze from hers, Nate mumbled a curse. He was about to lead her back to her seat when the music started again and the jukebox played another slow song, and once more they drifted around the floor. Pulling her closer so they were firmly together, he leaned his head down and whispered in her ear. “I want to take you home and peel that hideous gown of you. God, who was the idiot that picked it? They certainly didn't know what they were thinking. You shouldn't have let them dress your glorious little body in such an ugly gown.”
Every nerve in her body tingled from the warmth of his breath, she laughed softly at his comment, but she couldn't help be turned on by the thought of him stripping the gown of her. Because she undoubtedly knew what it would lead to. “I have responsibilities and can't leave yet.”
Nate nuzzled her neck and breathed in her sweet intoxicating scent. “Mmm pity. You know I'm hot for you don't you?”
His words melted her bones and she clutched tightly to him. “Behave yourself.” She whispered back breathlessly. Oh yes, there was no doubt left that he was horny, she could feel the hard length of him pressed against her and her own panties were dripping wet.
A light kiss just below her ear, Nate lifted his head and smiled knowingly at her. “Sure baby.”
Oh, he was slick and dynamically sexy and she could feel her insides melt under that sensual smile, she tore her gaze away from his and glanced around the room and felt her face grow warm seeing all the knowing looks they were receiving. It wasn't hard to guess what they were all thinking, but still she hated everyone knowing her business. Her gaze went back to his and arched a brow. “What did you say to Grizzly to make him back off and turn
