Excerpt:
Ray grabs my
wrists and pins them to the mat over my head, his body angled over me. My
breath catches in my throat, and I steel myself for the memories, the black
rush, the heart-pounding fear, but it doesn’t come. Instead, a red haze settles
over my vision, and I press my lips together and buck my hips, throwing him
slightly forward.
Bad plan. Now his
groin is only inches away from my face. He’s still wearing his jeans, which
means that bulge isn’t a cup.
“Ray...”
His face
softens. “I hurt you.”
“Yes, you hurt me. Keeping secrets hurts me. It makes me
feel like you don’t respect me. And it makes me feel like I can’t trust you. So
maybe you could return to your proper seat now. Tray table up.”
He shifts down,
settling his weight over my hips, but he doesn’t release my hands. “I hurt you.
Means you care.”
I swallow hard and
meet his gaze. “You hurting me means I was being stupid. Things were going
where I didn’t want them to go. Now I’ve had a wake-up call. You have secrets
you can’t share. You need to protect your secrets. I need to be with someone I
can trust, and I need to stand on my own two feet. It’s just not going to work
between us.”
His gaze darkens,
searing me to the core. “You want to be done? Or are you scared and trying to
push me away?”
The air shifts
between us, electrifying, tightening my nipples and heating my blood. I am
hyperaware of his thighs tucked against my hips, carrying most of his weight as
he sits astride me in a dominant MMA position. My wrists, hot under his palms,
press against the cool mat, restrained in a way I could never have imagined
allowing them to be restrained. My chest rises and falls twice for every one of
Ray’s breaths, and my core tightens. The innuendo isn’t lost on me. God, yes. I
want to be done in the carnal sense of the word. But only by Ray. And I don’t
really want to let him go.
“I don’t want to lose you.”
Ray’s hands
tighten on my wrists, and he leans down and brushes a kiss over my lips. “I
don’t want to lose you either, but I live in a dangerous world. I’ve got stuff
in my life that would make your head spin. I need to protect you from that, and
I’ll do what it takes to keep you safe, even if it means you hate me for it,
because for the first time in my life, I want something more than doing my
duty. I want a life and I want you in it. I’ve got one bad guy to catch and
then I’m free. And after I’m done and after what went down this evening, you’ll
never have to worry about being safe again.”
Finally, he
releases my hands but I don’t move. Heat sweeps through my belly. I feel both
vulnerable and curiously safe lying beneath him. My gaze shifts from his
intense gaze to his sensual lips, and my breasts swell, remembering the touch
of his hands, the gentle press of his lips. He wants me. Not just today, but
tomorrow and the tomorrow after that.
“You make it sound
like I don’t have a choice about being with you.”
“You don’t.” He
leans down and kisses me with a savage fierceness that takes my breath away.
