I headed down the hallway to my room. I wanted to get changed before I met up with Allie. I threw on a pair of jeans and a plaid button-down shirt, trying to play the part of the contractor she would be expecting. Before I left, I went by the office to pick up everything I might need for my meeting with her. I wanted to get to the site early, so I could look over things one last time to check my figures. I knew it was crazy, but I wanted to get the bid for my own selfish reasons. I’d pretty much left her fucked with no time for other options, and truthfully, now I wanted more time with her regardless of if it got us Tony.
I was leaning against my truck when she pulled into the parking lot. I patiently waited as she fumbled around inside the car. Then, she finally opened the door and stepped out. As soon as her high heels hit the pavement, my eyes followed the line of her long, slender legs up to her thighs where her skirt had hiked up a little during her drive. The curls of her long, brown hair flowed down around her shoulders, concealing her face as she looked down to adjust her short, gray skirt. Damn. That sexy ass skirt hugged her curves in all the right places, bringing my cock to life right in the fucking parking lot. She quickly pulled her hair to the side and looked over to me. Her beautiful, pouty lips slowly curved into a sexy smile as her dark brown eyes met with mine. At that moment, all my thoughts of Tony were instantly forgotten. He became a distant memory as my entire mind was devoured by the beauty standing before me.
“Hey there, handsome,” she said. Just the sound of her voice made the world stop turning on its axis. I couldn’t explain it. It was like she had cast a spell on me, and I was unable to resist it. I wanted her. Hell, just seeing her standing there made me think about the future. I’m not that kind of man… I had never thought about my future… not with anyone, but now suddenly I was envisioning bike rides, a white picket fence… even rugrats running around. It didn’t make any fucking sense. I watched as she started walking towards me, her hips casually swaying from side to side. Her gorgeous smile never wavered as she approached me. Perfect… she was fucking perfect.
“Looking good, All-Star.” A light blush of red crossed her cheeks as she tucked her hair behind her ear. Beautiful.
“Always the charmer,” she said as she handed me a cup of coffee. “You definitely know how to make a girl smile.”
“I can think of more than a few ways I’d like to bring a smile to that beautiful face,” I told her and grinned as I saw the curiosity flicker in her eyes. I stepped closer, and her breath stopped, only confirming what I already knew. She was into me. The sexual energy was raging between us immediately. I fucking loved it.
“You’re quite the flirt, Mr. Blackwood.”
I leaned down, just inches from her ear, and whispered, “Just stating the facts, sweetheart.” She shifted her feet and awkwardly fumbled with the lid on her coffee cup. I loved watching her try to hide her body’s reaction to me, but it was useless. I could tell that I was getting to her. “And call me Kane.”
“Okay… Kane,” she said with a bashful smile, looking down at her coffee cup.
“Don’t get shy on me now, darling,” I told her as I inched closer to her. We had shared so much over the past few weeks in our messages, I felt like I truly knew her.
She tilted her head as she looked up to me with wonder. She slowly lifted her hand up to my face and placed the palm of her hand on my cheek. “Are you really here? Is this really happening?”
“Yeah, Allie. It is,” I told her.
“I thought I had made it all up in my head,” she said with a light chuckle.
“Allie.”
“I was worried that you might be some kind of creeper.”
“No one said that I wasn’t,” I said, laughing.
“Or bald.”
I couldn’t hold back my laugh, “No… I’m not bald.”
“I can’t believe it. I never thought I could get to know someone… to have feelings for someone without actually meeting them first. I feel like….”
“I know, Allie. I know exactly what you mean.” I leaned down and pressed my lips against hers, immediately feeling my body come alive in a way it never had before. Her touch set me on fire. The intensity was almost too much, but I couldn’t pull away. I needed more. My hands reached for her hips, pulling her body into mine as she opened her mouth to me… warm and wet. Fuck. She was every man’s fantasy… my fantasy. Mine. A light moan vibrated through her chest, urging me on as I deepened the kiss, claiming her mouth with mine. Her fingers tangled in my hair, forcing a growl to escape through my lips. I wanted her… all of her. A thousand thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there holding her close to me.
She was everything… everything I could never have. Suddenly, my heart felt like it was clamped in a vise. What the fuck was I thinking? Our club was going to kill her brother. He was the only family she had left, and we were going to take him from her. Damn. I knew better than this. I knew she’d never be able to forgive me. We were destined to be destroyed. I pulled back and looked down at her. Her lips were full, damn near bruised from our kiss and begging to be kissed again. I took a deep breath and did my best to rein in my need for her. I couldn’t let it happen. Not then… not like that.
