Page 6 of Tempting the Tiger

Oh, she knew what was happening. A man, as attractive as hell, was actually kissing her. Telling her without words how much he wanted her. The dream of every overweight woman in the world was coming true for her.

Talk about making your head spin.

But that was not all he was doing to her body. Her breasts grew warm and heavy, her nipples pebbled against the softness of her top. Her pussy swelled and she could feel the moisture coating her insides, readying her for him.

Oh, no, Grace. You were not going to go there. And certainly not with him.

She stepped back, breaking the hold he had on her easily enough. She knew she shouldn’t be disappointed, it was what she wanted after all. But for him to let her go so easily…just another dent in her self-confidence.

She hurried back to her chair, eager to put something solid between them. “I’ll, um, make sure these are delivered to the hotel.”

She didn't know what else to do, what else to say. A thousand questions rushed through her mind. Why had he kissed her? And would he kiss her again, were on the top of her list. She licked her lips and tasted him again. She watched as he leaned his head back, closing his eyes and swallowing slowly. Her gaze followed the movement of his Adam’s apple and she wanted to stroke her tongue against the strong, tanned column of his throat. To taste the saltiness of his skin. He finally opened his eyes and blew out a deep breath, almost a sigh.

She chanced a glance at him and saw his face was set in a rigid line. Was he upset because she hadn’t given in to him? She groaned inwardly. Had she just jeopardized her biggest account? And for what, she suddenly asked herself? Sex with this man?

“Wipe those thoughts from your head, little one. This is between you and me, no one else.”

Her eyes widened at his words. How had he guessed she’d been thinking she’d just lost her biggest account?

“I will be seeing you,” he said and walked to the door. He unlocked it and strode through it as if he hadn’t just turned her whole world upside down.
