Bringing his hand to my lips, I run my tongue along the same spot. Then I surprise him by sliding my lips all the way down over his thumb and sucking slowly one time hard before turning it loose.

“Fuck, Lila!” he says and almost jerks his hand away from mine.

Exactly the reaction I was looking for.

I sprinkle the salt on his hand and lick it again. Grabbing my shot glass, I down the tequila and bite the lime.

He grips my hand tighter. “Jesus Christ, Lila! What the hell was that thing you just did?”

I don’t answer and instead pour two more shots of tequila.

“Ready to go for round two? Your turn.”

Chapter Twelve

––––––––

An hour later, my body is still reeling and my mind is a white, lust-filled blank.

Lila shocked me when she licked my hand instead of her own, and then my head almost exploded when she slid her lips down my thumb. A jolt of white-hot electricity shot straight through to my cock and I almost turned the table over.

I want her so much it’s killing me.

And she knows it.

For the last hour, we’ve joked and talked while the whole time I keep thinking about how unbelievably fantastic she would feel sprawled naked underneath me. Or her sweet lips sliding down my cock. I can’t think straight or keep up with the conversation. I’m so turned on, I’m not even sure what I ate for dinner or how it tasted.

All I can think about is Lila.

The sweet scent of her hair drifts my way every time she brushes it back from her face, and I want to lift it up to kiss my way down the back of her neck. My hands can’t stop reaching over to touch her. Thankfully she doesn’t seem to mind my hand on her leg or stroking her arm.

I can’t get enough.

It frustrates me to know that I’ll never have her.

There’s no way she’s going to sleep with me now or ever. All I can do is dream.

Besides being an ATF agent, Lila is out of my league. Until she came along, I never realized girls like her even existed. She doesn’t put up with my shit and isn’t afraid to dish it right back to me.

I don’t understand why none of my old tricks are working on her. Or maybe they are and she’s not showing it. This is a position I’ve never been in before, and one that I don’t like very much.

Either way, I need to up my game.

Again.

I thought I had already done that. And then she upped her game on top of mine.

At this point, I need to accept that outplaying her might not be an option.

Or outwitting her, since she’s always a mental step ahead.
