Justice For Juniper (Tatienne Richard) novel Chapter 48

Adil was taking her further along the hallway in the opposite direction of the dance floor.

“Where are we going?”

“You promised me a kiss.” He tugged her into a dark corner and pinned her against a wall. His fingers linked with hers. “I don’t want to be interrupted while I get my first taste of Juniper.”

She made wide eyes at him as he lifted her hands and pinned them over her head.

He stared into her eyes, the flashing lights from the dance floor, barely eking into the darkness where they were hidden. “You are so beautiful, baby girl.”

“Thank you.” She couldn’t look away from him. His eyes were a deep brown, and they were purely focused on her. She swallowed at the hunger he wasn’t trying to hide. Her tongue darted to lick her suddenly dry lips and she shivered as he matched her movement.

He lowered his lips to hers and kissed her softly, as if worried she’d duck away and run. Instead, she tightened her fingers in his grip over her head, tilted her head backwards a bit and stood up on her tiptoes to deepen the kiss.

He kissed differently than Beni did. He was less tongue, more lips but equally demanding. She was instantly swept up in a feeling of need coursing through her body. She leaned her head sideways and her nose brushed against his and she whimpered as if she wanted to get closer to him.

He adjusted her hands into one of his and his other hand moved to her waist, pulling her hips forward to his. She felt the very solid reaction to their kiss against her belly, and she tugged her hands, desperate to wrap them around his body to pull him closer.

He was kissing her like she was made of the finest porcelain, carefully and sweetly but at the same time he was clearly aroused by their kiss. She pulled her hands again and he chuckled against her mouth.

“What are you doing?”

“I want to touch.”

“I don’t think it’s a good idea, baby girl.”

“Why not?”

“Because you are drunk and I am feeling pretty good to. My inhibitions are down and yours are as well. I don’t want to do anything tomorrow you will regret.”

“But I like you Adil,” she whispered against his mouth.

“I like you too, Juniper,” he pressed a quick kiss to her mouth. “I could kiss you until my lips fall off.”

“You would look funny without lips.”

“We could both be lipless together,” he swept his lips across hers again.

She giggled at his words, “we would be known as the lipless duo.”

“I’d be thrilled to be in a duo with you.

“You would?”

“I would.”

“You’re very handsome Adil.”

“I know. We make a gorgeous duo.”

“Kiss me again,” she whispered against his mouth.

He released her hands, and she dug them into his hair and hiked herself up his body. In seconds he was lifting her up, his hands under her ass, his body pinning her to the wall, her legs wrapped around his waist. He pushed upwards, his body jutting upwards and she gave a groan into his mouth at the movement.

“You like that, baby girl?” he muttered.

“Again,” she arched her hips towards his, grinding against him, the flimsy material of her panties barely a barrier.

“He’s not?”

“Nope. He’s jealous.”

“Jealous?”

“You look kissed Juniper, and he is jealous I got the second kiss before he did.”

“I look kissed?” she looked at him.

“I may have messed up your ponytail and we were gone nearly half an hour.”

“What do I do?”

“What do you want to do?”

“I want a drink and more dancing.”

“Then let’s go.”

“Will he be mad at me?”

“Nope. He’s not angry at you.”

“Is he angry at you?”

“Not in the least. He’s adjusting.” Adil looked right at Phineas and tilted Juniper’s chin and kissed her on the mouth. “Let’s make him adjust a whole lot more.”
