Salvatore didnât hold back the slow smirk that slipped between her neck and his teeth. That noise, her exposed neck; she was ensnared, but still fighting a good game. His lips curled higher. Iâve been meaner, she said. His kisses gently lifted from their path towards her mouthâjust out of reach.
She wanted to play a game, did she?
Lashes drooping in an almost predatory, yet lazy smolderâlike one of a large catâhe lifted his gaze to hers. âYour panties. Take them off.âÂ
Erin had to fight the urge to duck her head and kiss him as his lips came teasingly closer to hers, and she blew out a breath, biting her lip when he looked up at her. Even though it really shouldn't have, his command surprised her, and her eyes narrowed, lips twisting for a moment as she considered whether or not she should cooperate.
A second later, she shrugged, smirking right back at him. She certainly wasn't backing out. "Okay."
Leaning back onto one forearm, she lifted her hips and reached obediently under the skirt of her dress, pulling down on the black lace of her underwear until they fell down around her ankles. Then she sat up, hands resting once again on the tile of the counter as she looked up at Salvatore expectantly, waiting for him to speak.Â
