KARINA HART

Kari snuggled against Zach’s chest as he carried her towards her bedroom.

After the zip lining Kari had insisted they have a go at it once more. Zach was right when he told her to keep her eyes open.

That was one of the amazing moment – in fact that was the amazing moment of her life.

Later they had gone shopping for her since she hadn’t packed anything. Zach even insisted on a new cell and she had agreed.

While having drinks, Derek had called on Zach’s phone. She had assured him that she was fine and that he needed to go away somewhere. Later the men had traded words over the phone and Zach’s expression had turned grim.

She just hoped that Derek hadn’t told Zach anything.

When he didn’t ask any questions, Kari had relaxed and enjoyed their time at the bar.

By the time it was 7, they were making their way in a local hole in the wall joint that served amazing food, Zach’s words.

She had been so exhausted that she’d slept in the car the moment her head hit the head rest of the passenger seat of his truck and when Zach tried to wake her up, she had whined about not able to walk.

He had carried her and she was conscious enough to know that she liked being right there in his arms, hers around his neck and her face buried in his chest. He smelled like the beach and a bit musky. And she loved the smell. It was pure Zachary and not some perfume that some people sprinkled on themselves.

« I know you’re awake. » he said as he laid her down on her bed.

« No, I’m not » she said as she still held on him, her arms locked around him. She didn’t want to let go of him. He smelled good and right and at that moment she wanted him.

She pulled him down and placed a soft kiss on his lips.

He pulled back, « Kari, you’re drunk. »

« Yes, I’m drunk but sober enough to know I want this. »

« Doll, you couldn’t even stand upright. « he remarked, raising an eyebrow at her

« I so can. » she pouted « but I like being right here in your arms. » she mumbled and pulled him in for another kiss. He groaned and responded just as his lips touched hers, his lips moving over hers, making her feel giddy. His lips felt soft and perfectly kissable under hers. So kissable that she didn’t want to stop at all. Didn’t want to stop the heat that coursed through her veins.

She felt him trying to pull away, so she pulled him towards her and he lost his balance, falling over her. She didn’t know how but she got enough strength to roll him over. For a moment she felt strong as she rolled him over. That was until he rolled her on her back and hovered low over her, his hands pining hers on either side of her head as he pined her by pressing his body down on hers.

She sniffed him and moaned, »I like you, right here. »

Pulling back on all fours, he smoothed back her hairs and smiled at her. He looked so sexy . « As much as I want to be right here, I can’t. » he replied

« Why not ? You got something contagious ? STD ? or is it ED ? » she thrust her hips up and he groaned at the friction. « I don’t think it’s ED. » she waggled her eyebrows and Zach laughed out loud. Resting his forehead on hers he let out a small sigh.

« I really want this, Kari. Trust me. But not tonight. Not when you’re so drunk. Fuck don’t. » he groaned and pinned her waist down to stop her movement.

« You’re playing with fire, Kari. Don’t make me do this. » he warned

« Fine. But will I get a goodnight kiss ? »

Zach didn’t reply just tightened his fingers in her hair and brought his lips down on hers. He kissed her like it was his last kiss. He kissed like every woman should be kissed. He pulled on her lower lip and nibbled lightly. As she gasped, he took an opportunity to glide his tongue over hers. She ran her hands through his hair and pulled on his hair as she moaned loudly.

Heat pooled low in her belly and she couldn’t help but arch her body, seeking his touch, seeking some relief from the fever she felt rising. Moaning at his every single lick, nibble she placed her hands on her chest and heard him moan. She couldn’t help but smile at that.

He pulled back with a groan and rested his forehead on hers.

« Fuck. You minx. Teasing me with your kisses. » he said with a smile, his voice husky.

« Is it working ? »

He lowered his hips to hers and she couldn’t help but feel smug about his arousal. « You tell me. » he muttered, his breath hot on her lips

Suddenly, he pushed away and was off the bed within seconds.

« Fuck » he groaned again. He looked sexy with his lips puffy from her kiss, his hair a tousled mess as she had ran a hand through his soft hair once or twice , the intense heat in his eyes that said that he’d make a meal out of her right there. His hand clenched and loosened continuously as she saw the war wage in his eyes. « I need a cold shower. But doll, I’ll get back at you for this. Don’t get drunk on me next time. I don’t think I’ll be able to hold out. My patience’s running thin right this moment. »

She laughed at his condition.

« Not funny. » he grumbled low but a smile broke out on his face.

Pulling the covers over her, he placed a chaste kiss on her cheek. « Good night doll. »

« Night Zach. » she mumbled and sleep overtook her.
