EXCERPT:
โYou really do look good tonight, Pez.โ
She took the rose, then turned around to face him. The effects of the wine were suspect as she took a balancing step to the side.
The restaurantโs entrance light lit her up as she swayed her hips side to side, drawing his gaze down to where the hem of the dress skimmed against her bare thighs. His groin tightened at the sight of her creamy skin, and he quickly lifted his attention back upโonly to be faced with her twirling the yellow rose petals against her tempting lips as she playfully batted her eyelashes again.
โYou like my new dress?โ
โLove it. You are smokinโ hot.โ It was supposed to be a tease, but when her gaze met his, his pulse skipped with the realization he meant it in a way heโd never meant before.
โWhy, thank you, Net.โ
Even as he returned her smile, he wondered what the hell was happening to him tonight? It was like something had sparked when sheโd asked if he was going kiss her goodnight, and everything she did since then fanned that spark into a full-on flame of desire.
Was it a full moon that had him thinking heโd like nothing better than to kiss his best friendโฆand more?
