flesh , and stroking her mouth. It seemed as if he would never get his fill of her. It had b een a few months since their encounter in the elevator , but e ver since that day , he’d been hungry for more of her . The only thing stopping him was his fear of what would happen next . He was hesitant to start a physical relationship with Zhané knowing there would be strings attached. He couldn’t fool himself into thinking that he could have wild sex and walk away unaffected . Besides, Zhané had already left her mark on him. He thought about her constantly. Even now, with the show ending for the night, he wasn’t ready to let her leave. He didn’t want to be alone tonight. The question was did she feel the same?
Reluctantly, he ended their potentially explosive kiss . The pads of his fingertips s lipped from her cheeks past her chin and seductively caressed the hollow of her throat . Then, his lips took the same path, gently nibbling the graceful lines from her earlobe to her chin. The scent of her soft perfume tickled his nose. He wanted nothing more than to pull up that sexy dress, lift her on top of his lap, and bury himself inside her. He craved the feel of her. He m issed the painful pleasure of her nails clawing at his back.
Zhané was a straight-shooter who’d made him stand up and take notice. After his breakup years ago, he didn’t think he would ever have romantic feelings for a woman again. He used females to take care of his physical needs, b ut he wanted more than a few one-night stands with her . “ Zhané ,” he whispered in her ear, “ c ome home with me tonight . ”
Zhané smiled as Devlin continued to press butterfly kisses along the long column of her throat. S he loved the feel of his lips on her skin . Everything he did was so erotic. Already, a wa rm river of lava w as starting to flow through her. She was going to have to change her panties if he kept this up. “You want me to come home with you?” she clarified. “Why? Y ou h ave some shoes for me to try on? ”
Devlin chuckled, obviously catching her reference to the comment he ’d made to Cynthia earlier. “ No, I already know you’re the perfect fit. ”
She laughed as he pulled away and laced his fingers with hers. His hands were so strong –as were other appendages of his body . She was itching to take him up on his offer for a sleepover . He looked so sexy tonight. He felt so good. So right. She’d m issed his kisses. She thought about him morning, noon, and night . No t even a sp ur-of-the-moment three-day weekend in Vegas with Tina had been able to erase the memory of her elevator encounter with Devlin .
Zhané squeezed his hands. “Do you know what you’re asking? ” she probed . “ The last time, we got carried away. But now, we have time to think about our actions. ” This was the first time he’d even touched her since they ’d begun co-hosting together . O ther than his light flirting, Dev had been a perfect gentleman.
“ That’s my quandary.” His dark eyes sought hers. “ I’ve been thinking about you too much. I don’t know what it is about yo u , Zhané , but I can’t get you out of my mind.”
Her heartbeat st ammered . She was pleasantly surprised to learn that Devlin was experiencing a type of misery identical to her own , but this revelation confirmed the two of them were headed down a slippery slope . She couldn’t deny that j ust being around th is man gave her a high that couldn’t be duplicated from boardrooms and RFPs. “ I feel the same way about you , ” she admitted. “ I don’t want to put a damper on things, but what the hell are we going to do about this? ”
H e grinned . “ You’re too much of a woman to let get away. You stimulate me physically and mentally. You’re equal parts femininity and strength, both traits that turn me on. ” The pads of his thumbs
