.She gulped back her shot, andI had to shake my head free of the desireto run my lips around her breasts so thatI could dampen that silky material untilher nipples could be seen through thewetness.I quickly pressed her bodybehind one of the speakers, and liftedher chin to me. Babe, you need to tellme right now what s going on. I couldfeel the tremble of her chin beneath my fingertips and my stomach felt like itbottomed out somewhere. Are you introuble?

I love you,Grace Taylor, I said through themicrophone before I yanked it fromaround my head.Then I brought my lipsto hers and kissed her in front ofeveryone.A slow, deep kiss causing herhands to twist my shirt into fisted clumpsas she pulled me closer.Her hairtumbled around me, I slid my fingersthrough the hot strands, entwining my fingers within the locks, and I lostmyself completing against her lips.Within moments, the crowderupted into an outpouring of screamsand cheers.Then Ethan s deep laughterdetonated through the speakers, God,Grace, were you the only one whodidn t know? Laughing at Ethan, I reluctantlypulled my lips from Grace s.A stunningblush colored her cheeks, her lips werestill parted and her breathing was heavylike mine.Then she opened her eyes andthey were clouded with terror and tears.My stomach churned, almost rolling rightout of me.What the hell was shethinking right now that made her lookso terrified of me? She ripped the microphone offher head and gave me a panicked tight-lipped smile
