Kate Hoffmann - The Mighty Quinns - Dex

Her lips parted slightly and he slipped his tongue into the sweet warmth of her mouth. When a tiny sigh slipped from her throat, Dex took it as another invitation and dragged her body on top of his until he could run his hands over her backside. His pulse pounded, the warmth of desire pumping through his body.

The kiss ended as quickly as it began when Marlie drew back and looked at him with a wide-eyed gaze. “I—I think I’ve made my point.” She scrambled over to her side of the SUV and quickly fastened her seat belt. “We can go now,” she murmured.

“Bloody hell, you must really want me to do this project.”

“I do,” she said. “It’s imperative.”

“Imperative?”

“Yes, no one else could do it like you could.” She drew a sharp breath. “I mean the documentary,” she quickly added. “Not the kiss.” Marlie cleared her throat. “But the kiss was good, too.”

“Yeah, that’s what I thought you meant.” He started the truck, his heart slamming in his chest. He’d never reacted so strongly to a simple kiss.

“Just so you know, that’s not usually part of my pitch. Nothing is going quite the way I intended.”

“Will there be more kissing involved, or is it all business from here on out?”

“Would kissing you make you more inclined to take the job?” she asked.

“Probably not,” he replied.

“Then I suppose that’s the last time I’m going to kiss you.”

“Good,” he said, throwing the truck into gear and pulling out onto the road.

Though Marlie Jenner would provide the perfect distraction from all the pain he’d experienced in the past eight months, he wasn’t about to use her just to satisfy his own lust. He wasn’t ready to work again, and nothing she offered him, even a few enjoyable kisses, was going to change his mind. Once he got her back to the cottage, he’d send her on her way.
