Second Chance Romance - Page 32/137

She was looking at her feet. At his urging she lifted her face to look at her image in the mirror. She chewed her bottom lip. "No," she finally whispered.

He let go of her hands and put his hands on her hips. He ran his fingertips up her sides, feeling her body under the clothing. He met her eyes in the mirror for just a moment before she dropped her gaze again. "You have curves. Sexy, beautiful curves. It makes you stand out. You just think you should hide them."

She glanced up. There was a shy smile on her face. He let go of her and she started to move back to the dressing room. He grabbed her. "Hold on," he murmured, putting a hand on her shoulder.

She stopped mid-step and turned her head. He moved in front of her and framed her face with his hands gently. He tipped her head to the side a little and then he went for it. He pressed his mouth over her lips.

She went rigid and then limp against him. He let himself dive into her lush body. He opened his lips and she responded in kind. He let his tongue delve into the heated depths of her, tasting her for the first time. He moved his hands from her face down to her ample hips and held her against him.

He realized he was holding his breath, waiting for her to push him away. But she didn't, she kissed him back, her hands gripping his shoulders.

He eased her away, half-gasping for breath. He stared into her eyes, she blinked back at him, as stunned as he was. He hadn't meant for their first kiss to be quite so public. He let go of her reluctantly, swallowing hard. "Why don't you get changed into your own things?" he suggested.

She nodded and scurried back into the dressing room. She came out in her jeans and t-shirt again, but not holding the clothes. He went around her into the dressing room and grabbed all the clothes.

Without speaking to her, he went to the cashier. His friend Matt's girlfriend, Shanna, was behind the cash register. She glanced from Kip to Mandy and then back again. He rolled his eyes. "How are you Shanna?" he asked. She snapped her mouth closed. Stupid girl.

"Uh, good. You?"

"Really well, thank you."

Mandy was standing behind him and he reached back, his arm around her waist. "I can't afford to buy all that," Mandy hissed.
