Chapter 2

Alex POV

I don’t make the first move. Is it me dipping my head down or is it her boosting on tiptoes to draw closer to me? Either way, the magnetic pull is tugging and both of us are helpless to resist.

Even if it means we end up in trouble with the bride and groom, we can’t quit. It’s out of our hands now; we’re in too deep.

Asserting Jane with my mouth feels so much better than I had foreseen.

I’ve felt the intense chemistry bubbling between us all day long so I knew kissing her would be enjoyable. I didn’t expect the fireworks to be quite as overwhelming nonetheless.

Holy shit, if this is what kissing Jane is like, I can’t wait to encounter more. I mug her cheeks in my hands and deepen the kiss, invading her mouth with my tongue. She reacts just as passionately, just as excitedly, nearly covering herself around me as she does.

The rest of the room simply melts into nothingness; it’s only me and her in this room. My whole body drowns in flames as I get what I want and I love every point of it.

“It’s time for the bride and groom to head off on their honeymoon now.” The voice of the DJ reasons us to jump apart. “Let’s all wish them well.”

Jane occurs as breathlessly as I feel. She rests her hand on her chest as she endeavors to pull herself together. I want to reach out and hold her hand so we can wallow in this glow jointly but if we’re waving Alex and Marie off, then I should probably wait.

We’d nicely send them off without any concerns about me and Jane. But we still stand stupidly close to one another as we tide off the pleased couple for their journey into married life.

I have to admit that they do look overjoyed like they are heading off to a new occurrence rather than something that will only eradicate them from the inside out. I guess some people do get pleased ever after. Just because I didn’t, shouldn’t make me bitter for everyone else, right?

“Do you want to get out of here?” I whisper to Jane. “My condo isn’t far.”

I can sense the hesitation but I already know that Jane will nod before she does.

There’s no way she can resist the moment just as much as I can’t. We’re intoxicated by each other.

“Sure,” she says with a soft smile as she bites down on her underside lip. “Sounds nice.”

We could stick around and dance some more - many other people are. Italian weddings often continue long into the next dawn but that doesn’t mean we have to stay. Without the danger of Adam and Marie catching us, things will get way too hot and heavy on the dance floor, anyway. I'm sure we’re much safer with closed doors.

I call my car and take Jane’s hand at long last as we head outside. The chilliness catches Jane in her thin dress so I instantly give her my suit jacket to maintain her warm.

“Ooh nice, thank you,” she giggles as she nestles into the jacket looking lovely as she covers the jacket tighter around her shoulders. “This is beautiful.”

“It should be, for the price of it,” I laugh in agreement. “But since it suits you way better than me, I think you should keep it on.”

“Oh yeah?” She spins around like she’s on a catwalk showing off her outfit. “It’s going to be the ‘in’ look this spring so you better get used to it.”

“I have the jacket but I don’t have the dress.

“I’m not surprised,” I continue, playing along. “You make it look so seriously good!”

The sleek black car appears quickly and I open the door for Jane to climb into the back seat.

As I admire the curve of her ass, I find myself enthralled with her company as well. Before we went to the dance floor, we had spent some time chatting and it appears like we do have a lot in common. I like her dry humor as well. It was really fun getting to know her.

Usually, I have to admit that I don’t even listen. I don’t pay attention since I don’t need the elements of the women I’m charming into bed with. But Jane has intrigued me in ways I wasn’t expecting. I don’t know what that means but it’s exciting.

My chest grows tight with excitement as I mentally intend what’s ahead. I can't wait to get her home.

I follow her into the car and wrap my arms around her to hold her as we drive, kissing her because I really can’t get enough of her lips. Thank God, she can’t get enough of me either because tonight is only just beginning…

Jane POV

I can’t get my hands off him. What the hell is wrong with me? While I thought about doing something a little bit different, I wasn’t exactly intending on this. But kissing Alex - feeling the powerful sensation of his hands around my waist, eagerly touching all of me - is so addictive and so intoxicating, that I’m enthralled.

I know Marie tried to warn me off him and I get why. A man with a touch of his specialist has to be a billionaire, and that’s not the sort of man I should be giving myself to. But how can I resist? Particularly when my best friend isn’t here to warn me even more.

“So, this is my home,” Alex says with a smile as he leads me inside his condo, but neither of us is looking around.

We’re too busy staring into one another’s eyes. This is how we’d been throughout the whole wedding. No wonder we ended up here.

His hazel eyes with little golden flecks are intoxicating. I could stare at them forever and discover something new. I think that’s what Alex is like.

He seems a certain way on the surface but there are layers underneath -there’s more to learn. I’ve only seen a bit of him tonight but that’s enough. I’m already in heaven in his arms.

Alex eagerly pulls me closer and we press up against one another needing to feel every inch of our bodies. I know we’ve been seeing each other all night long but it isn’t enough. It’ll never be enough.

Eventually, as the kiss deepens, everything goes up a notch.
