“Would you? While I’ll probably use the processer, I think it’d be nice to see a demonstration up close and personal. Of course, many of my sous-chefs could give me a demonstration too, but I want to see how you do it.”
His excitement was contagious as I nodded, sensing his big build as he came to hover over my shoulder. Then I paused.
“Actually, there’s an easier way of showing you. Do you want to try?”
My stomach was in knots as he nodded. I moved back and had him stand in front of me before handing him the knife.
“I’ll guide your hands from here so you don’t have to crane your neck down to see what I’m doing.”
Our position also had the added benefit of him not being able to see how red my face was right now. I had no idea where I got my sudden boldness from, but as my arms slid easily alongside his to show him the proper chopping motions, I could hardly focus. His warm back against my front made me electric with need. My nipples pebbled, and I hoped to god he couldn’t feel them pressing into his back. Plus, there was the definite issue of the moisture between my thighs. I was so steamy; could he tell?
The demonstration was over entirely too soon, but and the teasing look on Adam’s face told me he knew full well of my desire. But the handsome man didn’t miss a step.
“Thanks for that,” he quipped. “I guess even old dogs learn new tricks.”
I didn’t manage to think through my words before they popped out.
“I’m sure you have plenty of tricks to teach me too.” Oh my god, tell me I didn’t just say that out loud. But judging from the gleam in his eyes, I definitely had.
“I do in fact have plenty of tricks to teach you and I’m sure you’ll enjoy every lesson, in bed and out.” His hands came up to pull my hands away from my face, revealing my scarlet cheeks. “No need to be embarrassed sweetheart. I’m just saying the obvious, which is that I’m going to enjoy your curvy body sometime tonight, and I can’t wait.”
His thumb stroked my cheek, and the motion was oddly intimate. His eyes flicked down to my mouth, before meeting mine again. It didn’t take a genius to know what he wanted and considering what we were planning to do later, it felt juvenile to refuse him.
Licking my lips, I watched as his sky-blue eyes followed the movement. His eyes darkened to a deep navy shade as he leaned forward until our mouths were less than an inch apart.
His breath on my lips made me shiver. The anticipation woke something inside of me that I had never felt before and I closed the last bit of distance between us, pressing my lips without abandon against his.
His mouth was warm, his tongue immediately sliding slickly against the seam of my own. I had no idea what I was doing, but maybe if I just let him take the lead, I would be able to muddle through.
The second my lips parted, his tongue wrapped around mine. The feeling sent a shot of pure heat between my legs as he pressed me back into the counter. His arms bracketed my body as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders for better leverage.
My head instinctively tilted to better slide our mouths together, his hands moving to trace along my skin as he deepened the kiss. One of them came up to tangle into my hair, his fingers lacing through it before cradling the back of my head while his other hand rested around my hip.
His thumb was positioned so it could stroke my hip, the rough pad catching on my skin and making me practically vibrate with the sensations. I had never known my hips were sensitive like this…
When Adam finally pulled back, I was nearly gasping for breath but I didn’t feel self-conscious. His chest was heaving just as hard as mine, and his eyes had lightened from their deep ocean blue to a cobalt shade that was intriguing. He’s just as worked up as I am, I thought.
The thought didn’t make me wary or scared. In fact, the knowledge that I did this to him made pride curl in my chest. Would it feel even better when we actually explored one another’s bodies fully? What would it be like to feel this man above me, churning and moaning as I accepted every last drop of his virility? Something in my eyes must have given my thoughts away because he let out a rumbling groan.
Both of his hands came to rest on my hips as he spoke.
“If you keep looking at me with those come-fuck-me eyes, I’m going to do just that. Screw the food.”
