CHAPTER 12: Ellie

––––––––

When Ellie let go of Alison her friend’s eyes were wide with shock. She wasn’t sure which of them were more surprised by her impromptu kiss.

“I hadn’t expected that,” said Harker. “But I won’t say I’m disappointed.”

“I am,” said Adrian. “If you’re going to do something like that, do it right.”

“What do you mean by that?” She turned toward him. His grin was sexy and devious and her body almost overheated because she knew she’d walked right into his trap.

“Let me show you.” He pulled her into his arms and before she could protest, his mouth was on hers.

Suddenly, she had no idea why she’d been fighting this. It was perfect. It was meant to be. His arms tightened as she opened her lips and fell into his kiss. Her hands slid around his neck as she lifted onto her toes so she could fit her body more closely with his. She gasped softly against his mouth as his erection rubbed her mound. He cupped her ass, lifting her and pulling her closer as he groaned against her mouth. It was a rough sound of need that made wetness coat her panties

“Uhm.” Alison tugged on Ellie’s arm. “You’re in the bar. In public.”

Adrian inhaled deeply, causing his chest to rub against her breasts and sending tingles straight to the juncture between her legs. She clung to him even more. Right now, she didn’t care where she was. All she wanted was to touch this man and have him touch her.

“Stop.” Alison yanked on Ellie’s arm. “This is almost as bad as the dance floor.”

“She’s right,” Adrian said against her lips, putting her down on her feet and moving his hands to her waist. “Come home with me.”

She was dizzy with passion and need but she took a deep breath. She shouldn’t sleep with him again, but she wanted him way too much to deny herself now.

He cupped her face with both of his hands. “Please, come home with me. Not because of the bet but because you want to. Because you want me as much as I want you.” His green eyes searched hers.

“So you’re forfeiting the bet?” It didn’t matter. She was going home with him, but she wanted to know if he’d actually give her the choice.

“Will you come home with me if I do?”

“Can’t tell you that until you forfeit or force me.” She shrugged. “Your choice.”

“I’d never force you.” His thumb caressed her lips. “The bet is off.”

“Really?” She hadn’t thought he’d do it. Alphas liked to win no matter what.

“Yes.” His lips captured hers again, heating her blood to almost boiling before he let go and stepped away. “Your answer?”

She could barely think she was so hot for him. She had to clear her head to find some control. That was it. “On one condition.”

“What?” Her eyes narrowed.

“I’m in charge. Completely. All night.”
