A Magical Embrace
Tom couldn’t
explain what happened next.
Something about
Wednesday’s warm laughter, her sparkling eyes, or her heavenly lavender
scent—something he couldn’t quite define—captivated him.
His hands gripped
her firmly at the hips, pulling her close. Wednesday didn’t struggle.
Instead, she stopped laughing, and Tom saw the twinkling light in her
eyes vanish, replaced with something else, something heated—glowing and
vibrant with need. Hot, steaming, scorching desire churned in his belly.
The feel of her
hips under his hands drove him mad. He took a deep breath, laced his
fingers in the loops of her jeans, and enjoyed the sensation of having
her body close to his.
He should back
away. He drew her nearer. She came willingly. He shouldn’t kiss her. He
was her employer. They didn’t have a future together. But how could he
resist her? She was so deliciously charming, and she had a great set of
lips he wanted to taste. He couldn’t wait to feel those lips against
his.
“Wednesday,” he
murmured, gazing down into her upturned face.
“Dr.
Anderson,” she murmured back.
“Tom,”
he corrected.
“Tom,”
she whispered.
“I’m
going to kiss you.” His hands spanned her waist.
She
nodded, giving a small gasp as he pulled her tight against him, lowering
his lips to hers.
Wednesday melted like soft caramel against him, her arms reaching up
across his shoulders, encircling his neck. His lips slowly played across
hers, sweet, warm, and enticing. She responded beneath his touch, her
lips hungrily opening against his. Wave after wave of desire flowed
through his body, and he didn’t want it to stop.
