I looked at his face and I knew without a doubt that I could fall with Evan.  If he would make the jump with me, I was absolutely certain that he wouldn’t let me get hurt.  He’d said it himself—he knew how to keep control.  And I so desperately wanted to let go of it.

“Evan.” That one soft word was like taking a match to dynamite, and I saw the fire ignite inside him.

“Jesus, Angie.”  His arm snaked around my waist and he pulled me close.  I pressed against him, so hot with need it’s a wonder I wasn’t reduced to ashes.  I felt the hard length of his erection against my thigh and thought I might cry, simply from the knowledge that he was as desperate for me as I was for him.

I’d truly never felt anything like this.  As if each vein, each hair, each atom inside me existed for no purpose other than to spread pleasure through me.  So much pleasure that I wasn’t sure I could withstand the force of it.  This was everything I’d wanted.  Everything I’d imagined I would feel when  Evan finally touched me.  But it was so fast and so hard and so overwhelming that I was on the verge of exploding.

Either that or stripping off my clothes and pulling him down to the floor right then and there.

And that probably wasn’t the most prudent of plans.

Breathing hard, I backed away, increasing the space between our bodies.  I saw the question on his face, the dark disapproval at our broken connection, and before that could shift to regret, or prudence or responsibility, I moved back to him, pressing my body against his torso and my hands over his ass.  For the first time, it registered with me that he’d changed clothes.  The tuxedo was gone.  The man in front of me wore simple Levis and an even simpler white t-shirt that exposed the vine tattoo that encircled his upper arm.

He looked young and hot and completely fuckable, and once again I was blown away by the fact that he was here.  With me.  A very literal fantasy come true.
