Her handpressed as she tried to move away from him, creating the gapbetween them again.He wasn't having it as he continued to hold her firmly inplace."Say it."Why was she making this so difficult? He'd thought thatthey'd been friends as well as lovers.Was there something hewas missing?Frowning, she stared at him and licked her lips."S.aywhat?"His gaze followed the stroke of her tongue along herbottom lip.The delicate pink tip and her plump lip made theheat level in his blood increase."My name.Say my name,Chelsi." His words came out gruffer and lower than he wouldhave liked.However, in that moment, he felt like he was backin the computer lab at Tyler T.High School, staring at the138Reignitedby Bridget Midwayprettiest girl in school.Back then he had wanted her; now hedesired her.It was a ridiculous emotion, but he couldn't stopit.He became in tuned to everything about her.Chelsi's gaze softened.The tension around her mouthreleased, and the tempo of her chest rising and fallingincreased.Her lips parted then she said, "Vincent."Hearing his name on her lips caused the leash he had onhimself to break.Lowering his head, he claimed her mouth.Moving his lips along hers, he teased her.Licking the seam,he flirted with her, taunting her to open up and let him in.Ithad been twelve years since the last time he'd tasted thesweet nectar of her kisses, and he refused to be deniedanother second.Slanting his mouth, he increased the pressure, wanting herto be aware she wasn't dealing with a nervous teenage boybut a determined man.He heard the whimper before lipsparted and allowed him entrance.Seizing his chance, hedrove his tongue inside and knew he'd touched paradise.Ahaven that he'd allowed to be held away from him for toolong.It didn't take but a few passes of his tongue along hersbefore Chelsi was chasing him.They circled each other asthey moved from her mouth to his.Her tongue entered, andhe closed his lips around it and gently bit the tip.She gasped,and he slipped inside her again.When she began to suckle him, he growled.Lowering hishands to her waist, he held her body against his as he pushedin and out of her mouth.Images of them mimicking their139Reignitedby Bridget Midwaymouths in a different way flashed in his mind.He'd neverbeen so turned on by a simple kiss in all of his adult life.The desire to feel her arms and legs wrapped around himwhile he thrust between her thighs like he was doing to hermouth grew stronger.Urgent steps carried them across thecarpet until they bumped against something.The jolt startled Chelsi, causing her to pull away."Oh, myGod, what are we doing?" she babbled."What am I doing?"The sensual haze cleared from Vincent's mind.He glanceddown at the anxious woman in his arms.They stood besidethe conference table.Correction, he had Chelsi pinnedbetween him and the table.If she hadn't stopped them, therewas no doubt in his mind he would have had her laid across itas he drove them both to completion between her legs.UnlikeChelsi, he had been completely aware of what he'd beenprepared to do.Shit, we're in the boardroom.His actions, even thoughthey were prompted by lust, were stupid.There were no locksto the doors in this room, and anyone could have walked inon them.He didn't have concern for himself.He knew he'dbuilt a solid reputation with his employees; however, theydidn't know Chelsi, and he wouldn't allow her to bedisrespected in such a way.When he glanced down, her eyes were closed.She lookedas if she were praying.One of her hands was crushedbetween them as she still held onto her folder and swatches.Her other hand clutched the lapel of his jacket.She had beenjust as carried away, but when she opened her eyes, he wastaken aback by the apprehension in her gaze.140Reignitedby Bridget MidwayTaking a step back from her, he ran his hand through hishair."Look, Chelsi, this is not why I asked you to stay."Her hand dropped from his lapel, and she licked her kissswollen lips."Are you sure, Vincent?"Quickly, he moved away a little further.Focusing on thatmouth of hers had gotten him in the sticky situation he was innow."No." Inhaling deep, he said, "I just wanted to talk toyou.Catch up on how you've been doing all these years.Takeyou to dinner maybe."Shaking her head, she glanced at the door then back athim."We don't need dinner for that.I've been fine."
