Resting her back against the seat, Alicia crossed her legs and noticed how Brad glanced at them when her skirt inched up her thighs. She swallowed down her smile. It did feel good knowing that Brad was so attracted to her.
“Tell me how it felt growing up in a family with such complex and overly protective older brothers?”
“Honestly, I’ve always looked up to all three of them, but I’m the closet to Richard. Anytime, I needed help or had a problem I went to him. He always found a way to calm me down and ease my fears.”
She was surprised to hear that Brad was closet to Richard. She would have thought it would have been Zack. “You couldn’t talk to Lee or Zack?”
“I could but not like with Richard,” Brad corrected. “He would always stop what he was doing to help me no matter what time of day it was. Richard is my brother, but I consider him like my best friend.”
“So, how do you consider your other brothers?”
“Lee is the one I go to when I need money advice. He’s brilliant at turning nothing into something when it comes to cash. I swear he can start off with ten dollars and by the end of the month it will be over two hundred dollars. He always had a way with numbers. I’m stunned that he hasn’t opened another marketing firm.”
“Now, Zack is without a doubt the business man. He can take a rundown building and turn it into a masterpiece. I’m always left speechless by his finished product. You should have seen D4 before the remodel that Dawn helped him with. It doesn’t even look like the same building.”
Alicia was glad that Brad was proud of all of his brothers’ achievements and wanted to tell her about them; however, she wanted to know about him. She only knew a few things like he loved playing, teaching tennis and plus every other Friday night that he loved going out for hot wings with some of his friends.
“Brad, I know that I haven’t shown interest before but why don’t you talk about yourself more? You really didn’t do it when you were giving me tennis lessons.”
Pulling up in front of her house, Brad cut off the engine. “There isn’t much to tell,” he confessed as he got out of the car. He came around, opened her door and helped her out. Closing the door, he held her hand a little tighter and escorted her to the front door.
For a while now, she’d fought actually going out on a real date with Brad because she didn’t want to get too close to him. Her main focus was moving to the top of her field as a reporter, but now she…hell, she wasn’t sure what was going on in her head.
“I think you’re wrong,” she said.
Brad touched her cheek with the back of his hand. “I’m wrong about a lot of things, but not that. Do you know that half the time I got invited anywhere it was because of my brothers? They are the three famous Drace brothers and I’m not. I understand and I’m not upset about it.”
“It’s only because they’re older,” Alicia corrected. She didn’t want Brad to think he wasn’t worthy because he was. “Don’t let it get you down. You have to know how unbelievable you are.”
Cupping her chin in his hand, Brad leaned closer to her until their mouths were almost touching. “I know something that you can do to cheer me up.”
Alicia had a hint of what it was, but she’d play along. “What can I do for you, Mr. Drace?”
“A good night kiss would be a perfect finish to the night.”
A warning voice whispered in her head that if she let Brad kiss her tonight that there would be no turning back, but she just pushed the fear to the back of her mind. God, it was only a kiss and it wasn’t like that Brad hadn’t kissed her before.
“I’d like that,” she answered a second before Brad nibbled at her bottom lip softly in a tantalizing way. The firmness of his mouth drew her body and mind into the kiss even more.
He pulled away slightly and glanced down into her eyes and then lightly licked her lips before kissing her again.
Alicia was trying to draw a thought into her mind; however, with the way he was kissing her fast and then slow, it was driving her need up the charts. Who knew that kissing could be so arousing? Standing on tiptoes, she wrapped her arms around Brad’s neck drawing him closer to her.
Sliding his hands down her back, Brad cupped her ass and lifted her up pressing her back against the front door. The thickness of his hard erection against her underwear made her purr in the very back of her throat.
“Do you know how much I want to pull out my cock and bury myself inside of you until neither one of us can think straight?” Brad whispered against her swollen lips.
Her breath caught in her throat as she felt her heart pounding in her chest when she saw the smoldering look in his beautiful eyes. “No, I didn’t know that.”
“I’m so fucking hard right now that my whole body is aching to be with you.”
Alicia didn’t know what to say right now. She was fighting with every fiber of her being not to beg Brad to take it to the next step. Damn it! How could she lose control like this and on her front porch with all her neighbors to see? From now on she would have to guard her own actions as well as his.
“Brad, please put me down.”
“I was afraid you might tell me that,” Brad confessed as he let go of her ass and lowered her back down to the ground.
She quickly fixed her clothing and pulled her skirt back down to a respectable level. Awkward silence filled the air as one of them tried to think of something to say. This was new territory for the both of them.
Brad was finally the one to take the huge leap. “I wish I could apologize for what happened, but I can’t. I love the taste of your mouth. It’s sweet, spicy and a temptation made to get a man in trouble. I’ve always considered a kiss the first sexual contact that will introduce me to a possibility of a lover. Haven’t you ever heard that you can tell a lot from how a person kisses?”
Of course she had heard that before but she hadn’t even given it much thought until now. The way Brad just kissed her proved that he knew his way around the bedroom.
“Before we go down a road that I shouldn’t tonight, I’m going to tell you goodnight.” Alicia turned away from Brad and unlocked her door. Going inside, she turned back around to look at a man who had given her such a wonderful night.
“I’ll see you tomorrow after work.”
“Sweetheart, I’ll be there,” Brad told her in a deep and sensual voice that sent a ripple of awareness through her. Turning on his heel, he strolled away from her back to his car leaving her staring at his back and perfectly tight ass.
