another deep kiss.
“Princess,” he murmured breathlessly into her mouth. She
reveled in the fact that his body responded to her every touch, taste, and
scent. The need in his voice was palpable as he said, “I want you so bad right
now, but we’re gonna get arrested for public indecency if we keep this up in
the airport.”
The second he pulled away from her she felt the loss. She
missed the closeness of his body against hers. She felt warmth settle into her
cheeks along with embarrassment over her very public display of affection.
Pulling her close, he leaned his lips down to her ear and whispered, “I plan on
getting indecent I just don’t want to share you with anyone. So let’s get your
luggage—and your sweet ass—out of here.”
Her body responded instantly to the provocative words
uttered in her ear. “Oh Romeo,” she murmured. “It’s no wonder the women fall
all over you with that silver tongue of yours.” Shivering with anticipation,
Ashley laced her fingers through Ryan’s and they headed toward the baggage
claim.
“The only woman I want falling all over me is you, Ashley.”
He paused before asking, “So are you? Falling?”
Pulling them to a stop, Ashley looked up at Ryan from
beneath her long lashes and confidently said, “Ryan, I fell at fifteen and
never got back up.”
The warmth of her words washed over him and he cupped her
face in his hands, kissing her deeply once again. While their breaths mingled
and their tongues caressed, Ryan had to remind himself again of his promise
that they would wait until December to finally make love. He wanted to wait
until he could be with her for longer than just a few hasty days. He would wait
until she was eighteen and he could ask her for forever. Just two more months,
he thought as he deepened the kiss between them. In the meantime, he planned to
enjoy every minute of the time they had together while she was here with him.
“Sis, get over here!” The excitement in Leo’s voice had
Ashley shaking with delight. Seeing her brother after more than a month was
almost as painful as it was wonderful. Almost. His eyes were bright with
eagerness as he took long strides to get to her. His hair, like Ryan’s, was
longer and streaked with lighter shades of blond—something that always happened
to him in the summer. It wasn’t unheard of for people to accuse Leo of coloring
his hair, but it was really just God paying him a little extra attention in the
looks department.
Ashley admired her brother’s sun-kissed skin and felt a pang
of envy. Between her classes and her work schedule she’d had very little time
to enjoy the Florida weather.
“Leo, another tattoo? Really?” There was no anger behind
Ashley’s question this time. Rather a profession of happiness that her brother
was living the life he’d always dreamed of. Examining the new ink she felt a
little jab of something deep down in her gut. She couldn’t identify it, so she
pushed it down a little further and pretended that it didn’t exist at all.
“What is it Le?”
“Look closely, sis. It’s everything that’s made me who I am
so far.” Tears stung Ashley’s eyes as the image marked on Leo’s forearm became
incredibly clear. In between beautiful black flowing ink were the initials LKA,
for Leo and Ashley Kynde. The two legs of the “K” were drumsticks and the spine
of the “L” was part of a crotchet/quarter note. The “A” was made up of black
vines with one small blue flower on the bottom right leg. Twisting around and
through the tattoo were random words and symbols that Leo had mentally
collected through his life—his treasure chest of thoughts. The piece was large
but tasteful and masculine. So very Leo.
“Leo, I love it. It’s so you and I love the ceratostigma on
the “A”. Thank you!”
Ashley was surprised that someone had been able to capture
the heart of her brother so perfectly through ink and skin. Without turning her
gaze from
