Free Tempting Her Best Friend's Father by Jenika Snow Page B

surface. Soon her thoughts turned toward what he was actually doing
to her. With deft, expert fingers, he started to unbutton her blouse. He
slipped his hand inside and cupped one of her breasts, all the while never
ending their kiss. She knew he could feel her nipple through the thin material
of her bra. Hell, it probably felt like a rock against his fingers. A gasp left
her and she pushed him away. It wouldn’t do any good to get worked up when she
had to leave in a few minutes.
    He didn’t resist her when she shoved at his
chest; in fact, he smiled broadly and started to stoke his shaft through his
trousers.
    “See what you do to me.” His grin had her heart
skipping a beat.
    His lips were red and swollen, and she lifted
her finger and ran it over her own. Did her lips look like his? It was as if he
had imprinted himself on her, and she would never be able to wash it away. Oh,
who was she kidding, she didn’t want to wash it away.   She wanted this to last with Isaac, but with
the lying to Kara, the guilt, and starting school soon, Mona honestly didn’t
see how it would work.
    “Isaac, I think we need to talk about…” She used
her hand to gesture between the two of them.
    Isaac opened his mouth to say something, but
before he could get any words out a sharp knock on the door sounded. Neither of
them moved for several seconds and then he turned, gripped the handle, and
opened the door.
    Holly stood on the other side, her smile wide,
her teeth painfully white as they glistened. She held some kind of covered dish
in her hand, clearly some kind of offering in hopes of winning Isaac back.
Mona’s cheeks heated as she pictured all of the naughty things she had done
with Isaac since Holly and he had broken up.
    As the seconds ticked by, Holly realized Isaac
wasn’t alone. She turned her blue stare to Mona, but soon that smile faded into
something darker. She eyed Mona up and down, and it was then that Mona realized
her shirt was still unbuttoned from Isaac’s touch. She snatched the two halves
of material together and felt her face become even hotter. It really shouldn’t
have mattered to Mona what Holly thought at this point. Isaac and she had been
broken up, but still, Mona couldn’t help feel a slight twinge of guilt.
    “I guess I’ve caught you at a bad time.” Holly’s
voice dripped with sarcasm. “We need to talk. Alone.”
    The subtle hint that Holly wanted her gone
wasn’t lost on Mona. She knew it was time to leave. Mona excused herself and
went into the spare bathroom. When the door was closed behind her she took a
look at herself in the mirror.
    Her lips were definitely swollen and red, along
with her cheeks. Her midriff was showing and her nipples were hard as rocks
beneath the thin white material of her shirt. Yeah, she looked like they had
been definitely doing something. As the minutes ticked by and she was able to
get herself somewhat presentable, she debated whether or not to sneak out the
back to avoid Holly.
    After contemplating it for what seemed like
forever she knew she was being ridiculous. Why should she be intimidated by
Holly, and why should she care what she thought? She wasn’t a child any longer
to let others push her around with a simple look.
    Shoulders squared, Mona left the bathroom,
determined to grab her stuff and march right by Holly. When she rounded the
corner and entered the foyer she realized she was alone.
    The front door was closed, and after a glance
out the side window she realized there were no cars in the driveway. Surprise
filled her that Isaac would leave without so much as a goodbye. Stop being stupid, Mona. Her inner
dialogue snapped her out of her momentary confusion. Bag in hand, she left the
house, wondering exactly what did happen between Holly and Isaac.
     
     

Chapter Twelve
     
    When Mona pulled into the driveway after her
shift ended at the coffee shop, the sun had already set below the horizon. Her
back ached and she smelled like coffee beans. She
