too.
That was why he could be with Tessa now . She had always been too sweet, too kind-hearted, too…well, frankly, too in love with him before. He would have broken her heart. But now he was more mature, still confident but less cocky. Now he could appreciate her and her quieter, softer ways.
But that didn’t mean the moments of sassy from her didn’t stir him.
“You made this into a lingerie show today for rehearsal to try to get me to quit,” he reiterated.
“Yes, but somehow, I stupidly forgot about the part where you can’t be pushed out of your comfort zone because everything is in your comfort zone,” she said, clearly irritated. “You took this situation and not only went along with it and were charming and kind, but you even gave the women a pep talk about modeling lingerie in front of the whole town.”
“Well, to be fair, they were more excited about their pets modeling,” he said.
“You took a situation that was supposed to be uncomfortable for you and turned it into something fun and happy and upbeat.” She frowned at him. “You’re impossible.”
Impossible? Was that really the adjective she wanted to use there?
“You do know that impossible is not a synonym for charming, right?” he asked.
She crossed her arms. “Yes, Bryan, I do know that.”
“Just making sure.”
In spite of her obvious ire, Bryan couldn’t help grinning. She was riled up because he’d made the best of the situation? That didn’t make sense, but she was cute when she was riled up.
His gaze dropped to her chest, where a flush of pink was climbing up her throat. Then, because he was a guy , his attention went lower. Over her beautiful breasts, down the front of her dress to where her hips flared, then down the expanse of her legs to her pretty feet with the pink toenail polish and the white sandals. She was curvy in all the right places and soft and feminine. He loved every inch.
His reaction to her was the strangest response he’d ever had to a woman. He wanted his hands and mouth on every single part of her. He wanted to feel her moving against him, feel her body heating and tightening around his, hear her moans and gasps as he made her feel every ounce of the heat and need he felt.
That wasn’t the strange part.
It was all the other stuff he was feeling that was weird. At the same time he wanted to ravish her, he also wanted to take care of her. He didn’t even know what that really entailed. Chocolate-covered strawberries? Love notes? Silk sheets? Marvin Gaye? What he did know was it didn’t involve vibrators, doggie position or words like “suck me”.
When his gaze returned to her face, the words “suck me” in Tessa’s voice still echoing in his head, she was looking at him with both eyebrows up.
Dammit.
She didn’t say anything. She seemed to be waiting for him to say something.
“I—” he started. But he couldn’t make himself add that he wanted to bend her over and flip that sweet skirt with the pink flowers up over her back while he took her from behind. Nope, definitely not something he could say to Tess. “I’m sorry,” he said instead.
Her eyebrows actually went higher with that. “You’re sorry?
“Yeah. I got…distracted there for a second.”
“By looking at my breasts?”
Bryan felt his own eyebrows shoot up. “Um…”
She tipped her head and gave him a look that clearly said she couldn’t believe he was going to try and deny it.
“Okay,” he said. “Yes. I shouldn’t have…checked you out like that.”
“Because you were thinking insulting things while you did it?”
“Um…” Was bending a girl over a chair insulting ? Not in his world. The girls he knew would have all been quite pleased with it. But he wasn’t used to dating girls who had collected teddy bears well into their teen years or who didn’t have a favorite color, but instead preferred a rainbow of colors, from the covers they put on their textbooks to the clothes they wore.
