It was as if he had actually stroked her. The way his eyes were roaming over
her held a heat in them she had never seen before. It was causing her heart to
speed up and her nerves to quiver.
    For the second time that night she
wondered what had gotten into Ty. If she didn’t know better she would think he
was jealous, as Dane suggested. Or, had he finally realized she was not a kid
any more, that she was now a woman and could date whomever she liked, whether
he liked them or not?
    Crowding her, he placed his large,
tanned hands on the surface to either side of her, imprisoning her against its
hard surface. Alex straightened, trying to move further away from contact with
his body, only to find she was trapped as she felt the cold counter pressing
into her back.
    His gaze relentlessly probed her face,
looking for some sign that she longed for him as much as he burned for her.
Looking at her soft young mouth he silently confessed how much he wanted it
under his. But, he knew that if he kissed her, he would never get enough of her
sweet taste.
    Alex could smell his spicy cologne and
the mouthwash he used as he leaned forward, placing his frame along hers. She
knew he was trying to intimate her, but she didn’t understand why. He was
standing so close that she could see his eyes change to a blue so dark they
were almost black. She couldn’t let him know that his nearness was causing her
body to respond, just not in the way he wanted. If anything, her body was
screaming for her to lean into him and let him hold her like he used to. She
wanted to feel him just one more time, as if he still cared for her.
    His breathing turned ragged in his chest
as he realized her body was responding to the nearness of his. He caught her
hand and raised it to his mouth slowly, nipping at her fingertips, intrigued as
her eyes darkened and flared with desire and surprise through the lenses of her
glasses. Her breath caught in her throat, and he could see she was as affected as
he was by the desire that sparked between them.
    “Still think you want to play with the
big boys? You don’t even know what playing is little girl, but I’d be more than
happy to show you,” he growled huskily.
    His eyes were steady on her bow shaped
mouth, waiting for them to part for his kiss. He bent his head so that he was
positioned just above her, leaning forward he bit softly on her alluring lower
lip, and traced them with his tongue. Holding her gaze and stepping closer he
let her feel his desire for her as he watched her eyes flare with passion.
    Feeling as if her legs would give out,
she reached up and laid her shaking hands on his broad chest to steady her
quivering legs. Was this his way of punishing her, or was he as incapable as
she was to stop what was happening between them? As she felt his heart pounding
uncontrollably through his sports jacket, she marveled in the knowledge that he
was just as powerless as she was!
    Was it possible that he had deeper
feelings for her? It’s what she had waited, and longed for, for so long. He
gaze was fixed on him, feeling as if the world was spinning slowly out of
control and the only thing that mattered was his hungry mouth on hers.
    Taking her by surprise he lifted her
onto the counter and reached up, removing her glasses to place them beside her.
Nudging her legs apart so he could place his body between them, he slid his
hand to the base of her spine bringing her hips forward into an embrace that
was as intimate as they could get with their clothes still on. He groaned as he
let her softness absorb his hardness.
    Looking into her eyes, he said, “Open
your mouth little one. I may not get to be your first lover, but I’ll be damned
if I’ll let someone else teach you this! I’ll at least be the first to taste
that sweet mouth.”
    Reveling in her moan as he placed his
lips over hers, he slid his tongue over her lips and then penetrated the soft
recesses of her mouth. The intimacy of the kiss shook him. He
