For a few precious seconds, my mind emptied, just the beautiful sensations rocketing through my body as Jackson's tongue pressed further inside my mouth, his actions, possessive and fiery, and I moaned into the kiss.
His other hand shifted to join the other holding both cheeks between his large palm as he takes my mouth with the pent up need of a man who's been denied for too long. Our tongues tangled as he explored the depth of my mouth and the shape of my lips. He ate me as if I was his last meal.
He finally slowed and eased back just a fraction, breaking our kiss, but only long enough to tip my head up to meet his eyes as he licked across the seam of my mouth, nibbling on my lower lip. "You make me lose my goddamn mind, Maddy Lockwood."
I made him lose his mind? Arousal was flooding my body, firing around my pelvis as I imagined what it might be like to feel his skin on mine. Have him touch me.
"How much time do you need?"
Time? He'd lost me somewhere between crazy and possibility. "Time for what?"
"To think about what I said. Me and Logan—the three of us."
Ah, yeah, right.
I sucked my bottom lip into my mouth with my sisters Riley words zinging through my head. And just like that, my resistance crumbled. All of my supposedly steadfast intentions shrank like a wilting flowing.
I put a little more space between us, holding up a finger. "One date." This wasn't a negotiation.
His body snapped back a little and his eyes went wide. "Yeah, with me and Logan?" he clarified.
I nodded. "Ah-huh."
"When? Tonight?"
I gulped not having thought that far ahead.
"I'm striking while the iron's hot, Princess."
More like he didn't want to give me time to chicken out. "Remember, it's just a date. One date."
Unease shifted to my tummy, and my throat constricted. Was it fair to go on a date when I'd not told them about my... problem? Was that leading them on?
"Yee-haw!" He swooped me, crushing me to his chest, kissing my nose. "You won't regret it, Princess."
He planted me back on my feet. "C'mon, we better get you inside. The dragon—" he peeked down at me, smiling. "Sorry, your mama is waiting."
Ugh. I'd forgotten about her. "Guess so."
His fingers slid between mine, my palm fitting so perfectly in his as we headed back up to the house. He opened the door, and I went in first to find Jody waiting for us with a frown.
"You two took your sweet-ass time," lowering her voice. "That woman could test the patience of a saint, I tell you."
Jackson closed the door. "Sorry, Jody. We got here as quickly as we could."
