Page 83 of One Little Kiss

“Yayaya. Lub Coto. Lub Coto, too,” Wes screeches, clapping his hands wildly.

Laughter mixes with tears as it flies out of me. Unfortunately, so does snot, and I’m too close to Colton for it to go anywhere but on him. I’m completely mortified as he grabs a napkin from somewhere beside me and wipes his neck.

“Oh my God.” I can feel my face flushing red. “I’m so—”

He cuts me off with another kiss, and I feel his body shake with laughter. “I’m here for it all, baby. Snot rockets and everything.”

Mortified, I slap a hand on his chest and push myself off of him. I’m scrambling to drag myself back into my own seat when my hand hits the horn again and I slip. I reach back to catch myself and my palm lands right on his crotch.

Without missing a beat, he slips a hand under my ass and guides me back to my seat effortlessly. “Save that for later, CC.” The devilish grin he graces me with has my insides curling with need as he starts the engine and pulls out into traffic.

I’m not sure if I had an orgasm with him or not. It wasn’t the totally blissed out feeling I read about, but it was intense. I felt something. More than I had ever felt, even from my own hand. It was a full body experience that knocked me out for a solid eight hours and I’m more than ready for a repeat performance, if that’s what sex with Colton Westbrook is always like.

“Winnie?” His voice makes me jump in my seat.Jesus. I was completely lost in my head. Thinking about sex.Who am I?My face turns scarlet as I clear my throat.

“Sorry. What?”

Something sounding like an avalanche rumbles in Colton’s chest and he takes my hand in his. “What were you thinking about just now?”

“Nothing,” I blurt much too quickly.

“Ah ha.” He leans in, checking on Wes in the rearview before dropping his voice to just above a whisper. “Were you thinking about my head between your legs, CC? Your clit between my teeth?”

“Gah, I,” I draw out the word so long I run out of air.

“Or maybe my cock when it first enters you?”

“Holy shit.” I just went from red faced to all out inferno.

Tearing my hand from his, I play with the vents in front of me, forcing air onto my overheated body, and Colton laughs. The sound vibrates with warmth throughout the entire SUV, and Wes laughs along with him, no doubt just delighted to hear the happy sound coming from a man he’s already attached to.

“Winnie?”

I freeze in place. My nerves that had been firing on all cylinders calm at his commanding tone.How the heck does he do that to me?More importantly, do I like it? Goosebumps form on my arms. It’s like a race and my insides are all raising their hands to say,Yes! Yes, we like it!

“Ah, huh?”

Colton’s eyes gleam with dirty thoughts. “I said, I have a surprise for you tonight. But only if you’re comfortable with it.”

Colton Westbrook is a cyclone and I’m caught in his wake. I can’t keep up with him if I tried. He’s superhuman in the way he jumps from one problem to the next with a smile on his face. It’s addicting. It’s infuriating. It’s all consuming. And the worst thing of all is I think I like it.

“What surprise?” I finally force out.

“Tilly came into town. I have to go over some proposals with her, then I thought she could spend some time with us, and if you and Wes are comfortable with her, she offered to babysit after we put Wes to bed so I can take you out on a real date.”

My body responds to his words like a threat. My spine stiffens. Sweat forms on my upper lip, and my hands clench together so tightly they turn white. Somewhere in my head, I know this is not a normal response, but I can’t seem to control it.

“Hey, CC. Look at me.”

Pulling at the collar of my shirt, I turn toward him.Why is it so hot in here?Staring into kind eyes with the ring of blue that reminds me of a summer sky, the breath I didn’t realize I was holding comes out in a whoosh.

“Sorry.”

“No. Don’t apologize. Listen to me. I understand you more than you know. I get that you’ve had to rely on yourself for a long time, and me throwing all these people at you is hard. But please know that everyone in my life is there for a reason. I would never put you or Wes at risk. Tilly is my assistant, but she’s also family, okay? She’s Preston’s sister-in-law, and she grew up helping raise their youngest sister. She’s great with kids, but if you’re not comfortable after meeting her, we’ll stay in. It’s no big deal. Can you agree to meet with her though? See for yourself before you decide?”

Ugh. Why am I such an asshole?

Releasing my hands from the death grip I have on them, I’m nodding before my brain can even catch up. “Yeah, of course. And if we leave after he’s in bed, it will probably be fine.”I hope.
