Secret Tastes (Secret Dreams Contemporary Romance 4) by Miranda P. Charles

me feel like I'm on a cloud."
    He chuckled, grabbing her hand and kissing her fingers. "Since you like it so much, how about you stay with me again tomorrow night?"
    She smiled. "I'd like that."
    "Good." He leaned down for another kiss. He didn't know what it was about her lips but they had the capacity to set him on fire at a touch. Within seconds, his whole body was craving her again.
    His mouth travelled to her neck when Sam pushed gently.
    "Adam?"
    "Hmm?"
    "Can we not tell the others yet that we're sleeping together?"
    He looked at her in surprise. "Where do Kris and Trey think you're staying tonight?"
    "I told them I'm staying in your guest bedroom. I'm just not ready to deal with questions and concerns about us when I don't know what Monday would be like when we hear about Dad's results. Plus, I'd rather we give ourselves time to see where we're headed first before we tell them anything."
    "Sure," he said, running his fingers along her arm. "Is it okay to kiss you in front of our friends tomorrow? Your parents would be around so they'll understand we just want to look convincing."
    "What kind of kiss?"
    "Like this." He captured her lips and kissed her passionately, complete with breast-kneading and tweaking of her nipple.
    Sam's laughter bubbled against his mouth as she tried to move her head to escape his lips. "No, you most definitely cannot kiss me like that in front of anyone . Besides, that's not kissing, that's making out."
    "Okay, how about like this then?" He moved his hand to a chaste position and lessened the intensity of his kiss a tad.
    "Hmm. Still too much," she said.
    "What's wrong with it?"
    "Too obvious. All you're allowed is like this." Sam gave him a quick peck on the lips.
    "I thought we want to be convincing in front of your parents. There's no heat in that kiss," he complained.
    "My parents don't need to be convinced anymore, Adam. Heavens, they're even already thinking of grandchildren. If we don't watch ourselves, Kris would want to know everything. I want to enjoy this time with you privately first."
    "Okay." He was all for that. There was no sense in letting their friends make a big deal out of their unexpected affair when it could be all over in a couple of days. Sam was going home, and for all the talk of her moving to Sydney, there was no guarantee of that. Best to take this hour by hour.

CHAPTER TEN

    "How did it go last night?" Kris asked as she sat next to Sam on a step in Kane and Jasmine's swimming pool.
    "Good," Sam answered with a smile, scooting down so the water was up to her neck.
    "Are Auntie and Uncle completely buying your story?"
    "Yes," she answered with an eye-roll. "You wouldn't believe this, but they even asked Adam how many kids we planned to have."
    Kris laughed out loud. "Well, there you go. You don't have to worry about them getting heartbroken about you leaving Melbourne and the practice."
    Sam eyed her parents, who were on the deck, poring over the architectural plans for Adam's new house with Adam, Kane, Dylan and Trey.
    "They're probably thinking it'll be your house in the future too," Kris joked.
    "I wouldn't be surprised," she said dryly. "I hope Adam's not feeling uncomfortable."
    "He seems fine," Kris assured her. "So you're coming back to our place tonight, right?"
    "No. We thought it would be more convenient if I stayed at Adam's again tonight," she responded, trying hard to sound nonchalant. "He's taking us to the airport tomorrow so you won't have to."
    "Why? I don't mind," Kris said.
    "My parents would be expecting him to see us off. It would be strange if my boyfriend didn't, especially since it's the weekend."
    "I guess," Kris said. "But I still want to see you guys off. I won't see you again for some time. You do promise to arrange your move for next month, right, Sammy?"
    "Yes. Dad's already replaced me in the practice," she said with a chuckle. "I'd just hate to leave them if Dad needs medical attention. But I think that regardless of his condition, my
