Threshold is an ongoing, free story that tells the tale of a forbidden desire that can not be denied. I will post an installment here on my blog every week or so. This is the beginning of the tale…
His dark-eyed gaze moved over her, a slow caress she felt all the way to the very centre of her heat. Her sex constricted, her nipples pebbled. She stood on his front door step, knowing she shouldn’t go inside. What waited for her within was dangerous. More than dangerous. Life changing. She shouldn’t go inside.
The corner of his lips – lips she’d long dreamed of claiming hers – curled into a knowing smile. He knew why she was there. Her flimsy excuse wasn’t fooling anyone. “Are you sure?”
She shook her head. No. She wasn’t.
Her sex pulsed, damp and eager. Her head may know what she should do, but her body hungered only one thing. One thing.
His dark eyes held hers captive as she stood motionless before him. “Are you sure?”
She swallowed, her pulse rapid, her mouth dry. “No,” she murmured. “But I can’t…I can’t stop thinking…”
His nostrils flared. “Of us? Together?”
“Yes. Damn you.”
For a moment, the smug arrogance left his eyes and he stood before her, exposed and as vulnerable as she. The boy she’d known twenty years ago in the man he now was. And then his jaw bunched and his gaze burned with undeniable promise. “I want you. I always have.”
She drew in a shaking breath, her heart pounding in her throat, her nipples so hard they ached, and stepped over the threshold into his home.
“This is dangerous,” she murmured, turning her head to gaze blindly at nothing. “Oh, fuck, what am I doing?
Instead of answering her, he cupped her jaw in his hand, his fingers resting behind her ear. The simple contact sent a shiver through her, pinching her nipples hard. She bit back a hitching gasp, determined to control herself. Damn it, this wasn’t her. Even if she shouldn’t be here, she wasn’t this woman – this nervous, shy creature standing before him.
Lifting her gaze to his, she straightened her spine. “Do you know where this will lead us?”
A lop-sided smile pulled at his lips. “I’m hoping to the bedroom.” Perfect white teeth glinted at her as his smile stretched wider. “But if you make me wait much longer, Ali Gardner, it may very well be right here on this spot.”
The raw promise in his voice made her sex constrict, squeezing a cock that wasn’t there. Yet.
“That’s not what I mean, Mike.” She shook her head, struggling to control the desire threatening to overwhelm her. After all these years, she was here. Why was she waiting?
Because it’s dangerous. So bloody dangerous.
The smile faded from Mike’s lips and a small part of her wanted to whimper with dismay. When he smiled, her heart sang. “I know.” His dark eyes grew serious. Unreadable. He brushed the pad of his thumb over the swell over her bottom lip, his jaw muscles bunching. “But you’re finally here and there’s no way in fucking hell I can let you walk away now.”
Before she could respond – and really, what could she say to such an admission – he lowered her head and touched his lips to hers.
Oh, Ali, stop him. This is dangerous. You know it is.
Her own stunned voice whispered through her head, a warning she recognized deep in her soul. A warning she could not heed.
Yes, it was dangerous. More dangerous than imaginable. But for this one moment, she didn’t care.
His hips brushed hers, the rigid length of his desire nudging her belly, and for the first time in her life, she stopped listening to her head and obeyed her body’s demands, parting her lips to meet his hungry kiss.
God help them both.
