darkening
the green of his eyes, feel the tension humming under his
skin, feel that side of his personality she’d always fought
surge. His gaze held hers, the blue more prominent than the
green as it always was when he was aroused. “It’s risky
business chal enging a man with my nature.”
She feathered her fingers in the hair at the base of his
neck. “Maybe I’ve just decided it’s time to see how much
bite there is to your bark.”
“Uh-huh. Know what happens to women who play with
fire?”
Her hips jostled against his as he walked to the
bedroom, the soft cotton of her sweatpants doing nothing to
protect her from the pressure against her clit. Desire
sparkled through her blood. Excitement shortened her
breath. She loved it when he went al macho on her. “Nope.”
Marc stopped just inside the bedroom door, his gaze
holding hers as he let her slide down his body, the hot
length of his cock caressing the inside of her thighs until her toes touched the floor. Her held her there, suspended in his
embrace, his cock notched between her legs, pressing
against her through his jeans and her pants as he drawled,
“Their husbands get to see how hot they can make them
burn.”
He let her go. She stumbled, caught between the king-
size bed behind her and her husband in front, daring and
dread rising with equal fervor.
Of course, he saw. He touched her cheek. “What?”
“Don’t let me ruin this.”
He shook his head, the firm line of his mouth softening.
“There’s no way you can ruin anything.”
But she could fail. She grabbed his hand. “Promise me
you’l just do it like we talked about.”
He frowned. “I can’t promise that. Not if you’re not
enjoying yourself.”
“I might be uncomfortable at first, but I swear I’l enjoy it.”
“Let’s see.”
He took her hand in his, pul ing it behind his back, pul ing
her into his arms. The touch of his lips on hers was firm
when she’d expected soft, commanding when she’d
expected reassurance, throwing her off balance. While she
struggled to find the rhythm in the kiss, he caught both of
her hands and moved them behind her back, anchoring
them in one of his, keeping her helpless as his mouth took
charge of hers. Fire streaked from her breasts, her thighs,
her lips, leaping along her nerve endings, the feeling of
helplessness feeding the flames.
The zipper of her coat rasped louder than her heartbeat
as he slid it down. His palm swal owed the smal mound of
her breast, bare beneath her shirt because he’d requested
it, pressing and massaging, stoking the burning ache,
sending it deeper, and al she could do was stand there
and take the pleasure he was giving her. The way he
wanted. Oh God. Her knees buckled. It was so good.
He caught her easily, holding her stil for more of his
touch, his desire. The pinch of his thumb and forefinger on
her nipple made her jump, except she couldn’t go
anywhere, do anything. He was in charge. In complete
control. Her lids fluttered open. He was staring down at her,
the desire burning so brightly in her mirrored in the tight set of his expression. Along with that realization came another.
He liked her like this. The knowledge settled deep, giving
her the courage to lower her lids, lick her lips, and ask, “Is
that al you’ve got?”
His laugh was more sensual than amused; the answer
he gave short and to the point. “Hardly.”
The pressure on her nipple increased to the point of
pain. His gaze never left hers as she waited, breath
suspended in her chest, womb clenched expectantly,
whether in hope or dread, she didn’t know. With a smal
smile, he released her nipple and turned her around. Becky
stood there, breath shuddering, adrenalin flowing for three
uncomprehending seconds until he said, “Bend over.”
And the conflagration started again, her mind racing
ahead of her actions, picturing how she’d look to him, her
hands braced on the bed, her rear
