Free Wrong Room (Accidental Pleasures) by Geri Foster Page A

against his. She had arrived home, complete, safe, and welcome. The embrace tightened. Her breathing increased, her stomach pitched, and if she didn’t know better, she’d think she was about to swoon.
    The heady feel of his mouth against her lips went straight between her legs in record time, sending out an alarm that she was embarking on a wild adventure and she’d better hold on tight.
    He kissed, stroked, sucked, and completely took control of her senses. Wetness dampened her panties as her body made ready for him. His hands slipped to her rear, and he pulled her tight against his swollen crotch.
    Leaving no doubt he wanted her.
    A soft moan filled the air, but she wasn’t certain who it came from. Perhaps both of them.
    He broke the kiss, leaving her empty, cold, and confused. She blinked and he stepped back with a weary smile. “No sex, remember?”
    She closed her eyes and forced her heart to return to its normal pace. She’d forgotten their agreement that quickly. One kiss and all bets were off.
    Clearing her throat, she stepped back and finished making her sandwich. He took two drinks out of the fridge and placed them on the small kitchen table. She joined him with a bag of chips.
    This was a testing ground to see if there was more between them than a wild night of sex in a strange hotel room. She respected that, but right now, she wanted him so much she was willing to forget the agreement and head to the bedroom.
    Sexy thoughts of a whole weekend in bed with Jack danced through her head, and she fought the urge to call it quits and just give into her natural instincts.
    He looked across the table at her with a questioning glance. “We agreed on no sex, but we didn’t say no kissing.”
    “I know.” The words practically choked her on the way out of her mouth. “I’m good.” She stuck her hand in the bag of chips. “What do you have planned?”
    “Besides, no sex?”
    That brought a smile to her face. “Yes.”
    “I thought we’d lounge around this afternoon. Maybe take a nap. There is a great restaurant in town, where we can have dinner. And then we just have to make it through tomorrow.”
    “So, I’m not the only one who’s thinking of the bedroom?”
    “Hell, no,” he said, quickly. “That’s all that’s been on my mind. But we made an agreement.”
    She propped her chin on her hand. “I’m almost regretting that.”
    He laughed. “I haven’t liked it since the words came out of my mouth. But a deal is a deal.”
    “Even though I’m not running for reelection?”
    “I think this weekend proves we either care for each other out of bed, or we’re just sex partners.” He took a bite of his sandwich and chewed slowly.
    After swallowing, he continued. “I know we’re great together in bed.” A wicked smile tilted his lips. “I think Las Vegas proved that. But, for the first time in my life, I’m looking for a little more.”
    More?
    Did he mean what she thought he meant? Could he… Dare she… Did they…?
    How could she say “no” to this handsome man who’d wedged his way into her heart without her even knowing? How could she put herself out there again…and again? Only to be shattered every time she stepped into a relationship.
    Not again.
    She put her sandwich down and pushed back her chair. “I’m ready to go home.” She walked toward the bedroom.
    The ashes of Howard’s belongings were still in her grill. How could she jump into another relationship only to be battered and bruised in no time? She couldn’t take that chance.
    She wouldn’t.
    He stood in the doorway of the bedroom. “What did I say, Lexi?”
    She pushed past him. “Nothing, I just don’t think this is a good idea.”
    “Why?”
    “I’m very uncomfortable.”
    “Because I kissed you. Damn, woman. We did a lot more in that hotel room.” He was angry.
    She picked up her bag and started for the door. “Either drive me or I’ll walk.”
    Jack made it to the door before she did, blocking her
