Remy pulls me to a corner of the room far from the speakers, instruments, and noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“What’s wrong?” I ask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Nothing. Tonight, everything has been right.” He places a hand beneath my chin and tilts my head so I meet his gaze. “Do you agree?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI swallow hard. Looking into his whiskey-colored eyes, I find it impossible to argue. “I do.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe lowers his head slowly, giving me every opportunity to stop the inevitable, but we’ve been building toward this all evening and I want this. So much. And then his mouth is on mine, warm, soft, and gentler than I imagined he’d be. He moves his lips back and forth, as if savoring our first kiss. Completely on board, I kiss him back, wrapping my arms around his neck and hanging on while he parts my lips and his tongue meets mine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA low groan rumbles through him and I rise onto my toes to take more. I’m not sure how long we stand in the corner, wrapped in each other, unaware of anyone or anything else until finally, he braces his hands on my hips and lifts his head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOxygen returns to my brain and suddenly I realize what we’ve done. A quick glance around tells me nobody is watching and I blow out a relieved breath. But even if we’d been caught making out like teenagers, I wouldn’t regret the stolen moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“That was better than I imagined it would be,” he says, a hazy fog of desire in his gaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“And have you imagined us kissing?” I want desperately to hear his answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Every night of the week.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurprise ripples through me at his reply. I look at him, expecting his patented, sexy grin. Instead, his expression is serious as he holds out his hand. “Come upstairs with me?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf anything will break through the walls I try to keep high, that kiss and giving me a choice has done it. After what I’ve been through in the past, telling me we’ll dance is one thing. Informing me we’ll be going upstairs to his room, quite another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemy has proven he’s smart enough to read my needs and show he respects my choices. I find that, along with his alpha-like tendencies, hot as hell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, his question registers. “You booked a room?” I’m surprised considering he has an apartment farther downtown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe shakes his head. “But I do have connections.” He winks at me and dammit, I’m charmed by him. “\u003cspan class=\"i\"\u003eAnd\u003c\/span\u003e, if you say yes, I sure as hell don’t want to take the time to get my car and drive us to my place.” He reaches out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind my ear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brush of his fingertips against my cheek has me trembling and my nipples harden beneath my flimsy halter dress. The one that doesn’t allow me to wear a bra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“We’d be so good together, Raven.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Yes, we would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFind out what happens next in Just One More Moment!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3085\/5226\/files\/Heart-Clr_50x50.png?v=1687521129\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMake yourself at home with The Sterling Family!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeet the Sterling family: protective alphas who stay busy stepping in to rescue modern-day damsels.
