Conklin’s Blueprints: Book Excerpt
“Let me call a cab quick,” Tyler said, reaching for his
pocket.
I gently touched his arm and said, “It’s not too cold, let’s
walk. My place isn’t that far away.”
He looked me up and down and raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure? I don’t want to have to carry you half way,”
he teased.
“Ha ha ha, I will be fine, and… I’m not wearing heels,” I
snickered, lifting my foot and wiggling my toes as though if could see them.
He tried to hide his amusement. “Okay, if you say so.”
We slowly walked downtown amongst the young crowds of
clubbers. I snaked my arm threw his and
leaned my head on his shoulder as we walked.
He flinched at first, but then relaxed into me.
We stopped in the park along the railing, just as we had the
first night we went to the coffee shop.
I leaned into him, hoping he would wrap his arms around me. I felt so comfortable and confident with
alcohol running through me. He shook his
head and chuckled. Sliding his fingers
up and down my arms he said, “You’re funny when you are drunk.”
I pulled my head back and looked up at him. “I am so not drunk yet,” I said seriously at
first then let out a little giggle. He
smiled down at me, our faces nearly inches from each other’s. His expression became serious, and his hands
slowed running up and down my arms, stopping on my forearms. I never wanted anyone to kiss me so
badly. I leaned up and closed my eyes,
hoping he would get the picture. I felt
his nose touch mine then his mouth was on mine.
My lips were no longer tingling from the alcohol but tingling from the
sensation of his lips working against mine.
I allowed his tongue access to my mouth as a slow low groan escaped
him. It was like he flicked a switch
inside of me with his tongue. I brought
my arms up to his head and ran my fingers through his hair. Our bodies flushed together, I noticed his
arms were still at his sides. Why wasn’t
he touching me?
He slowed down the kiss and gently pulled away, keeping his
forehead on mine. I was still breathing
heavy.
“I need to get you home,” his voice was raspy, with ulterior
meaning. I slowly opened my eyes and
turned to start walking. He took my hand
and squeezed it, causing me to pick up my pace.
He wanted to be alone with me just as badly. I could feel it in his kiss.
