she was freefalling.
His lips moved on hers, brushing lightly then pressing harder.
He released her hand and her arms slid automatically around his shoulders. His
hands curved under her arms, lifted her out of her chair and onto his. With their lips
still sealed, her legs spread until her knees settled on the outside of his strong thighs.
She knelt above him, her head higher than his as she cupped his face in her hands
and kissed him. His whiskers scratched at her palms, a delicate rasp that made her fight
to get air into her lungs even while she refused to release his mouth.
Blessed Goddess, she wanted to eat him up.
His arms came around her waist, hands spreading on her back as if soaking in her
heat. Or keeping her from getting away.

He let her control the kiss but he drove her crazy with each flick of his tongue
against her lips. He wanted in and she let him have his way because she wanted the
same.
His tongue invaded but only for a second because he encouraged her to do the
same, to slip her tongue into his mouth and wrap around his.
She flashed hot, her nipples tightening into hard tips that she wanted to press
against his hard chest. Or better yet, have him suck one into his mouth and bite.
A moan worked its way out of her chest and into her throat. That sound should
have embarrassed her with its neediness. Instead, it made him answer with a deep
growl that made her pussy clench and moisten.
She smelled her own arousal, wondered if he could, as well. She wanted him to
know how much she desired him. How much she needed him.
But in the still-rational recesses of her brain, she heard the distant approach of a car.
She wished she could shut it out, wanted only to stay here in the moment with
John.
But she knew the sound of that motor.
Kyle would be here in minutes. And he d have a heart attack if he found her
sprawled all over John.
She broke away abruptly and scrambled off his lap, turning her back on him and
heading for the other side of the porch.
Damn it. Gods damn it, why this man? Why now?
Kaine.
He rose from the chair and headed her way but stopped when she held up one
hand.
No. Kyle s coming and I don t&
What? Don t want him to know about us?
Fat chance of that happening. Kyle already knew she d slept with John. And if she
hadn t told him, he d be able to smell John all over her.
She knew she d worried everyone who cared for her in the past few months. Nic,
Duke, Tira, Kyle, Tamra. Even her dad, though he hadn t been around to see how she
was handling everything. He was off who-knew-where-doing-who-knew-what for the
lucani king.
Par for the course, there.
No, she said. He already knows.
Then what?
I don t want him to go primeval on your ass, okay? He can be a little
overprotective.
You re a grown woman.

Yes. But he s my commanding officer. He takes his responsibilities more than a
little seriously. And I m a responsibility.
As she spoke, Kyle s jeep came into sight down the road leading into the streghe s
village of New Tarquin.
In the haze of dawn, she could see Kyle in the front seat, as well as Dane Dimitriou.
And when the Jeep finally pulled to a stop, Kyle stepped out then reached into the back
to help Tam.
Taking a deep breath, she tried to reach for just a little bit of peace, a tiny bit of calm
in the face of Kyle s take-no-shit attitude.
She straightened as he reached the porch, her chin lifting, her arms stiffening at her
sides until Kyle had reached the bottom of the porch steps. Then she saluted with her
right fist to her left shoulder.
She didn t give his rank, knowing he wouldn t want John to know anything more
until Kyle decided on a course of action. And it would be Kyle s decision how much to
tell John and when.
She d already fucked up enough.
Kyle just shook his head as he came up the steps. Kaine, gods damn it, don t
Kyle, honey. Tam none too gently elbowed her mate out of the way to get to the
porch, linking her elbow through Kaine s until they stood side by side. I think you
should take John and go with Dane to see Nica while Kaine and I have a little talk,
okay?
Tiny and fierce, with baby-fine blonde hair and an expression that could cow a
grown man in seconds, Tam took shit from no one. Including her older, tattooed hard-
ass of a mate.
With a sigh, Kyle held Kaine s gaze for another few seconds before he motioned to
the man waiting behind him.
We ve got our orders, Dane. Let s go see what s what. You and I, he made sure
she knew he was talking to her, will talk later.
She nodded. She knew this was only a brief reprieve.
We ll be in in a minute. Tam shooed the men away with one hand as she tugged [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
