He was enjoying this-she could tell by the glint in his eye-and he leaned closer to her and whispered, "Say 'Ahhhh.'"

Audie was trembling, but she opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue and the honey was cool and sweet and sticky inside her mouth. Then Qui

"You taste like sex and candy," Qui

Audie nodded, ru

"Are you cold?" Qui

"I'm not cold, Qui

Qui

"So arrest me." She loosened her grip on him and leaned back on her elbows.

Qui

"I think I've been waiting for you to find me, Qui

The vibration of his deep chuckle sent little buzzing streaks of heat through her breasts right down to the hot spot between her legs. She watched Qui

"You're yummy," he murmured, pulling one nipple into his mouth and biting her softly. When she moaned, he did the same to the other nipple, then drew wide circles around her breasts with his tongue, eventually coming back to her mouth, hot and wet and sweet.

His hands suddenly reached under her bottom to pull her closer to the edge of the counter. He put his lips to her ear.

"Audie, baby, come here to me," he whispered, and it was his voice again, his voice and the simple things he said, that was pure sex to her, that made her take the leap from sensible woman to anything Qui

As the honey dribbled down into the curls between her legs and trickled deep into the lips of her vulva, she wondered if she'd ever feel safe enough to tell Qui

Then she stopped wondering anything at all, because what he was doing was so good, so good, and his tongue was hot and firm, then barely a whisper, then long and slow and all over her.

"Oh, God, this is nice," Qui

Hepulled her up higher and angled her to his mouth, gripping her around the waist. She was sweet, so sweet, and he used his fingers to spread her wide and put one finger deep inside her, then two, and felt how slick and swollen this woman was and knew he would do anything for her, anything she wanted.

She suddenly clutched and hardened around his fingers and against his mouth. She let out a piercing cry that gave him goosebumps and she was calling his name and he licked into her, pushed his fingers into her deeper, faster, and her arms flailed out to her sides and the spice rack crashed to the stove in an explosion of broken glass and a pungent blast of rosemary, curry powder, and cream of tartar all spewed out in an unalphabetized mess.

"I'm so sorry!" Audie tried to sit up, tried to breathe, but Qui

"Is there glass on you?"

Audie could barely focus on his words. Her body was still spi

Then she was being carried to the living room against Qui

He put her down in front of one of the big overstuffed chairs and brushed his hands over her skin, and Audie finally came out of her fog.

"Qui

He stopped and stared at her, tasting her in his mouth and realizing he was hard as steel and wanted her to sit on him-and he didn't give a shit about his spice rack or the dirty dishes.

He ripped off his clothes and made himself comfortable in the chair, his feet on the floor and his erection pointed toward the ceiling.

"I just had a great idea," he said, gri

Audie walked toward him slowly, sca

"I bet it's the same idea I have," she whispered.

She climbed up on his lap, straddled his thighs, and positioned herself right above him. She leaned down to kiss him softly, then nibbled on his jawline and bit the side of his neck.

"Will you tell me your idea first, Qui

She got what she wanted-the low rumble of his laugh moved through her blood and bone, and she knew she was right where she was supposed to be.

"My idea was I fuck you blind," he said.

She pulled back in mock disappointment. "But I wanted to do that to you," she pouted.

"I'm flexible."

Audie watched the change in his expression as she slid onto him just enough to capture the big head of his penis. She waited, feeling him throb inside her, feeling her body kiss and squeeze him, seeing how he fought the urge to thrust all the way into her.

He was gorgeous. He was sweet to her. And it was magic to watch the surprise and joy on his face when she eased down very slow and took him in very deep.

"I'm so happy when I'm with you, Qui

Then she wiped the grin right off his face.

Chapter 12

Finding out which soundstage would host the Chicago Garda Pipe and Drum Band was the easy part. Getting there on time was proving to be a real challenge.

Human beings of every description were packed into Grant Park in a loud, hot, and airless press of bodies, slithering under a cloud of cooking smoke. Griffin held tight to Audie's hand as they made their way down what was supposed to be the center thoroughfare at CityFest.

"It's a good thing I'm not claustrophobic," Griffin said to her. "Because I'd be flipping out right about now."

"This is nuts!" Audie yelled, pushing her way eastward. "I don't want to be late! Let's try to go faster."

Audie got slammed into Griffin again. "Ack! Hurry! Come on!"

Somewhere past the Vietnamese food tent and the chili booth, Audie spied the bandstand where a few men in kilts milled around while recorded Irish music blasted.

She didn't see Qui

"Welcome to the sixth a

A cheer went up from the mob and Audie pulled Griffin into the thick of it, worming her way to the front.

"I'm supposed to meet Qui
