I snorted. “Yeah, well, you let your dick get in the way.”
“I like all of this jealousy, it makes your cheeks red.” He pinched my cheek and I smacked his hand away.
“Oh my God, you’re seriously going to drive me bat shit crazy. And don’t get me started on jealousy. Who was the one who stomped away when I got a phone call? To be one of the best agents in the country, you seriously need to learn more about women.” I slammed my hand on the elevator button.
When it opened, Jason pushed me inside, guiding me until my back hit the wall. Gasping, I sucked in a breath, only for it to be cut off by Jason’s lips. His body pressed into mine, holding me firm as he kissed me hard. My mind told me not to give in, but my body wanted him to take me. His lips tasted like liquor and mint. I would’ve given anything to get drunk from his kisses, but the elevator door dinged and opened.
Jason stepped back and rubbed the lipstick off his mouth, smirking. “You’re right, I was jealous and I still am. I want you, but you’re afraid to let me. The longer I’m around you, the harder it is to resist you. What makes it worse is, I know you want this just as bad as I do.” He looked down at my chest. I followed his gaze and saw my hard nipples showing through the silky dress.
People started getting into the elevator, but we needed to get out. I brought my arms up to cover my chest. “Don’t we need to go?” I whispered.
He stared down at my mouth and shook his head like he was clearing his thoughts. “Come on.” The tension between us was so high, I could feel it tingling my skin. Jason had my hand in his strong grasp and led me to a parked limousine where the driver waited, wearing a black tux with his dark hair slicked back underneath a cap.
“Mr. Avery,” he greeted with a nod.
“Good evening, James. You have the address, correct?”
He nodded and opened the back door. “We’re all set to go.”
Jason ushered me in and I scooted all the way to the edge, turning my body away from him as he got in. I was embarrassed with the way I gave into him so easily, but also unsure of what to do. With Adrian, everything was simple and slow; with Jason, it was all heat and moving very fast. I didn’t know if I could keep up.
“Are you mad at me for kissing you?”
Not looking at him, I shook my head. “Shocked really. I guess I wasn’t expecting it.”
“That’s what makes it exciting.”
I turned to him, my gaze serious. “That’s what scares me. I’ve never felt that excitement before.” Against my better judgment, I glanced down at his lips and the way he pulled the bottom one between his teeth. “And now I don’t know what to do.”
“I tell you what. Let’s promise that once we get done with tonight, we’ll go back to the hotel and talk. Nothing but honesty.” The devilish gleam in his eye gave me pause.
“That doesn’t sound so bad, but why do you look like that? You’re up to something.”
He shrugged. “You’ll see, but I can guarantee you’ll have fun.”
Pulling up to Randall’s estate, I wasn’t surprised to see that his home was gargantuan, with a million cars in the lawn and driveway.
“I’m going to drop you two off at the front and hang tight until you’re ready to leave. When you text me, I’ll drive up to get you.”
Jason handed the driver a wad of bills and patted him on the shoulder. “Thanks, James. I don’t plan on staying here that long.”
“No worries. I have plenty of things to keep me busy.”
Opening the car door, Jason helped me out and I straightened my dress. “Let’s go meet Drake Blackwell, and see how much of a douche he is. If I had to take my pick on first impressions alone, I’d say Davies is the fucker we’re looking for.”
