Hunger (Seductors #2) by B. L. Wilde Page B

that scare the crap out of me, because being away from you all that time only made them stronger. I can’t run from how I feel anymore. I need to be with you!” I swallowed hard, watching his lips move toward mine as he took in what I was saying. Yes, Oliver, I love you!
    As his lips pressed softly against mine, I sighed and wrapped my arms around his neck, drawing him closer to me.
    I was sure he was going to pull away, but to my surprise, he pushed me against his car, crashing his body and mouth harder against mine.
    His kiss was all consuming. I could feel his hand in my hair gently tugging it. I groaned when our tongues collided passionately, having forgotten how good he tasted. Every sweep of my tongue was met with his in a timeless dance. Sparks seemed to be igniting all over my body. Oliver was bringing me back to life with his tender kiss.
    “Mmm, I’ve missed those lips,” he purred, pulling back when the kiss finally came to an end. “As much as I want to ask you to come back to my place, I think we should wait until I get back from Russia.”
    “Are you trying to say I’m the kind of girl who would sleep with a guy on their first date?” I teased. My arms were still wrapped around his neck and I loved the closeness.
    “I know you are,” he chuckled, leaning down to peck my lips once more.
    “Only when it comes to you. But you’re right. We should wait. We’re taking this slowly, remember?”
    “I know,” he sighed, pulling me into him for another deep kiss. This time his hands began to slide down the side of my body. Oliver going slowly? Was that even possible?
    I giggled against his mouth when his hands finally gripped my ass. “This is slowly for you?”
    “Yep,” he grinned, finally pulling back. “Come on. Let’s get you back to your hotel before I lose complete control.”
    “Good idea,” I sniggered, letting him open the car door for me.
    “It’s funny how quickly things can go back to normal, huh?” He started his engine. “I really wish I could cut this trip short.”
    “What’s the trip about?”
    “It’s mostly meetings with N.A.T.O, but I have a few associates I’m scheduled to meet with, too.”
    “No world leaders this time?”
    “There will be some,” he muttered, unaffected by that statement. I was a Seductor and meeting certain world leaders would unnerve me . It wasn’t uncommon for them to be assigned as targets, so I had met a few. Oliver, though, was sitting there unfazed at the fact that he would be conversing with them while he was in Russia.
    “Does nothing faze you?”
    “What do you mean?” he asked, glancing at me quickly.
    “Nothing scares you, does it?”
    “In my job, no, but other things in my life do.”
    “Like what?”
    “Losing my father one day,” he sighed, staring at the traffic ahead of us. “I know he’s almost gone already, but the thought of never seeing him again terrifies me.” My heart ached for him. It was clear how much he idolized his father. “Then there’s you.”
    “ Me? ” I questioned.
    “I can’t think rationally when I’m around you, Jade. That’s a dangerous position for a man like me to be in.”
    “Don’t you realize that I feel the same way when I’m around you? Oliver, you have no idea what I’ve been through these last six months. I tried to forget you, but I couldn’t get you out of my head!”
    “Doesn’t that tell you something?” he grinned, pulling up outside my hotel. Why did it have to be so close to the restaurant? I looked at him quizzically. “You need to listen to your body. You can’t deny what it wants. I’ve been trying to tell you that since the moment we met.”
    “I know,” I sighed, leaning in to peck his lips. “My body wants only you. I’ve always known that.” My statement stirred a low growl from within his chest, and before I could blink, his lips were pressed hard against mine.
    “Fuck,” he moaned, fumbling with his seat belt. “You better get inside. I only
