It's not a soft press of the lips; it's hard and possessive, his tongue thrusting into my mouth and dominating it. A whimper of need leaves me, and I start to kiss him back, whipping my tongue around his, my fingers digging into the front of his shirt.
A wave of heat rolls through my body; his hand that I'd forgotten was on the back of my neck as he dipped me tightens, his other now on my ass. Still, I can't find the will to push him away.
My body forbids it. He tastes too good, like a sweet Starburst, the pink ones, and it's making me dizzy. Or that might be the drinks. Who knows or cares? It's my birthday. I can enjoy this momentarily. It’s a little present I’m giving to myself.
I gasp when his mouth releases mine, my eyes fluttering open to see a touch of my lipstain stuck on his mouth. I marked him. Why is that ridiculously hot?
"I don't know what I'm supposed to do here!" Katherine shouts, holding her hands out in front of her. "Do I smack him or, I don't know?!" I glance around and notice a shit ton of people watching us as he brings me back fully to a standing position, his body pressed against mine, and I feel the hard outline of his cock pressed into my stomach.
“Bathroom!” I announce and start to wiggle free from Pierce's hold, but I am trapped in his giant manly paws. Ones I can’t seem to stop imagining touching me everywhere. A low, sexy grown leaves him. Pierce leans down, his mouth coming to my ear.
“You keep wiggling on me that way and I’m going to embarrass myself in front of everyone.” He kisses the shell of my ear. “It’ll be worth it, but the first time I come with you, I’d rather have you alone and naked.”
“Pierce,” I whisper his name. His words only heighten the ache between my thighs.
“Right here, spitfire.”
“Abort! Abort!” Katherine snaps me back to reality.
“Bathroom,” I repeat again.
“Run and I’ll chase, birthday girl. There’s nowhere you’ll be able to hide.” He releases his hold on me, and I stare at him. What voodoo magic does he have over me?
“Cover up those arms!” I snap, not knowing where that came from.
Katherine grabs my forearm and pulls me toward the hallway and down to the bathroom. When we enter, she closes the door and flips the lock.
“What was that?!”
“Are you drunk?”
“Am I drunk?!” Katherine bursts into laughter. “You’re the one kissing the lawyer.”
“Well, ah…” I lick my lips, still tasting him there. “I have come up with a new plan.”
“And what’s that?” She folds her arms over her chest, waiting for what I’m going to come up with on the fly.
“Seduction,” I announce. “I’m going to make him fall in love with me, and then”—I hit my fist into the palm of my hand—“bam! He’s obsessed with me and will do my bidding.” Biff's plan will blow up right in his face. Sucker.
"Okay." Katherine nods along. "I like the bam part." Her nose scrunches. "But what if you fall for him?"
"Oh, gross." I roll my eyes. "That would never happen."
"Right." Katherine's expression turns skeptical.
"Right," I say with more force. Won't ever happen.
"Famous last words," Katherine mutters.
But I know myself. I've got this under control. I have mastered the art of seduction. It might be through a computer screen, but how different could it be? Only one way to find out…. Now, those might be my famous last words.
Chapter Ten
PIERCE
Ishouldn't have kissed her, but I don't give a fuck. She's been far too tempting not to. I’m finding I have little to no self-control when it comes to her. I'd been watching her for over an hour. I hadn't been the only one. Tinsley lights up the whole fucking room. She has this aura about her.
I've heard the saying before and wrote it off, but I get it now. She's special. Tinsley can change the energy in the room and fill it with her own, and it's contagious to the people around her. It's easy to see how much the rest of the town adores her.
I'm jealous as fuck, but I also enjoy simply watching her. That outweighs the jealousy, unless anyone gets too close, that is. It's not hard to spot who the locals are and who the tourists are. None of the local men are eye-fucking her. But the tourists are an entirely different story.
"Oh, are you the lawyer?" A woman with whitish-blond hair asks, coming to stand next to me. I'm at the end of the bar with my attention down the hallway where the girls disappeared. I recognize her as Hollis’ wife, Candy, from the pictures in his office.
"I'm Pierce," I tell her, with a slight nod of my head as a greeting.
