it, too?” he asked.
Sensations spiraled through her body. She felt wanted, and she liked feeling wanted by him. It was so wrong to feel this for a man she was investigating. She took a long blink, trying to get her conflicting emotions in check.
“Yes.” Her confession slipped out before she could stop it from happening.
“Trust what you’re feeling...trust me,” he said. “Close your eyes.”
The command came from a man who was probably used to giving orders and having them obeyed without question. His hand slid up to the back of her neck, and awareness vibrated through her body. He rubbed his fingers in a sensual circle at the top of her spine.
“Trust me, Wynn. Close your eyes for me.” Slowly, her lashes fluttered down.
Under his touch, she swayed closer. His fingers caressed erotically. It’d been so long since she trusted anyone enough to let them get within touching distance. The thought of handing her body over to Kade, even for a few stolen moments, made her feel breathless and out of control. This was so wrong.
“Forget about the storm.”
There was so much more than the storm she needed to forget about. His voice was a seductive whisper against her ear that she couldn’t resist. The heat of his breath simmered over her skin. The fabric of her cotton climbing pants had gotten pushed up tight against her pussy. The thin fibers rubbed against her clitoris, sending sensations over her sex. Wynn tightened her fingers into Kade’s shirt.
“I can’t.”
“You can.”
Rain punished the ground and the cliffs for being in the way. “We’re not in the middle of a storm.”
“Oh? Where are we?” she asked.
“Outside a shower. You’re waiting for the water to warm up.”
His lips brushed accidentally against her ear, causing her to turn into his touch. She pressed her cheek to his and then shyly brushed it away. What was she doing getting so close to him? She shouldn’t. It was then that she realized she was more frightened of what was happening between them then of the storm lashing around them.
Lightning flicked off the sky, and thunder grumbled in the distance. He nipped at her ear with his teeth, sending erotic shivers down through her breasts. Tingles pulled her nipples into tight buds against her wet clothing. Again, his teeth rolled over her earlobe, and his tongue swirled over the scrape.
They shouldn’t be fooling around. Wynn knew she was walking a dangerous line with a man she didn’t know. How could she do this?
“The water’s still cold,” he said.
“What color is the tile?”
“Blue art deco from the sixties. It’s a small shower. The kind you find in cheap hotel rooms.” She moved her head closer to his, losing herself in his story.
“Am I getting in by myself?” she asked.
“Do you want me in there with you?”
“I don’t know what I want.”
“It’s just a story,” he whispered. “Please let me come in the shower with you.”
His right hand moved up her leg and settled on her hip. She felt his fingers flex tight. She tried to move away, but he wouldn’t let her go. She should push him away, but her body wanted and was now in control. “Kade...”
“I want to kiss you.”
His tongue swirled over her ear, making her forget how wrong it would be to kiss him. “We shouldn’t.”
“You need a good tongue lashing.”
“How do you know what I need?”
She sensed his smile rather than saw it. “A man knows what a woman needs when it comes to loving.”
Loving? This was pure, raw animal lust spiraling between them. Before she could even deny him, Kade brushed his mouth over hers to steal a kiss. A gasp of surprise had her mouth opening to him. The slight part of her lips had him taking advantage of the situation. Kade’s tongue flicked over her lips and rolled seductively against hers. His hand moved around her neck to tilt her head, taking their kiss deeper.
Wynn reached up and ran her fingers through his silky, black hair. His kiss was
