Title: The Redemption of Roan

****EXCERPT REVEAL****
โDance with me?โ
Her eyes glimmer. The most captivating smile spreads across her face. Taking her beer out of her hand, I set it down on the table next to me. I gently pull her into my arms. Her body presses firmly to mine. Her hands twine around my neck. God, she feels so good. Itโs as if she was made to be here in my arms. We sway slowly. Claptonโs deep velvety voice is speaking the truth. She does look wonderful.
โYou surprise me at every turn, Mr. Diamond.โ Her breath is so close to my ear. Iโve never danced with a woman before. I have no clue what the hell Iโm even doing. All I know is she spears my thoughts. I canโt stop thinking about her. I could easily become addicted to this euphoria as much as Iโm already addicted to her well-being. Iโm in way over my damned head. I know so much about her, yet I feel like there is so much more to learn. Iโm turning into one of those fuck-puppets. She has me dangling on a damn string and doesnโt even fucking know it. Alina has the upper hand here without knowing much about me. I chastise myself mentally to move slowly, to learn about her more intimately. Not in a sexual way. She needs to know she can trust me. I wonder whatโs going through her mind right now. My mind is screaming at me to find out things about her I donโt know, while my dick is trying to fight its way out of my pants. Yeah, well forget it, buddy. She will definitely be worth the wait.
โThatโs the plan.โ My voice is gruff.
She squeals slightly when I dip her back, her long naked neck exposed. Itโs my tongue this time that wants to reach out and run up her graceful neck. Lick her lazily, seductively. I rein him in. Keep my mouth shut. I bring her back up, spinning her slowly then bringing her back into me. I need to tie my dick up with my tongue, this way theyโll both shut the hell up.
โAre you a romantic?โ
Our mouths are not even an inch apart.
โIโve never had anyone to romance before.โ
Iโm speaking the truth. My hand instinctively reaches up and caresses her cheek.
โYou are astoundingly beautiful in every way a woman should be.โ
The music keeps playing. It switched to a different song. Iโm so caught up in her I couldnโt tell you the name of the song if my life depended on it. Itโs slow and sensual, exactly the same way we are swaying back and forth. Thereโs no lead and follow between us. Weโre two people attracted to each other.
Weโve stopped moving. My hand is still stroking her cheek. Her eyes dart to my lips. My plan was to go slow with her. To not even kiss hertonight before I took her home. To let her know I respect her in every way. But I canโt seem to help myself. My face leans in slowly, knowing I only get one first kiss with this woman. I could devour her with my mouth, clue her in and let her know specifically what she does to me. Instead, when my lips brush across her soft lips, a spark ignites in me. Iโve often wondered if the truth stands behind what happens when two electric currents collide. I feel it. The heat is slowly building up, then vaporizing in an extremely hot explosion.
Darting my tongue out, I slowly glide it across her bottom lip. She exhales, opening wider, clinging her mouth to mine. My plan was to control this kiss, but she takes complete control, which shocks the shit out of me. Iโll let her for now. She shows no sign at all of her sweet innocence, her lack of experience. Those tantalizing plump lips feel better than I ever thought they would. Sheโs kissing me like sheโs never been kissed before. Bringing my other hand up to hold her in place, I tilt her head to the perfect angle. Her tongue darts out first, slowly meshing with mine. I lose all control then, devouring her mouth with mine. Our tongues play war with one another, each one trying to demolish the other. Fuck me all the way back to Michigan. I am so totally screwed. Totally fucked.
