“No.I don’t want to…damage you.In any way.”

There was that blush again, the one that made me grin.Then he wove one of his hands through my hair and tugged.Not enough to hurt.Just enough to make my sex clench.

“I’m pretty tough.I can take a lot of damage.”

Heat flashed through me as I thought about just what he could do with that body.“I have no doubt.”

With his shirt separated from his pants, I slid my hands under the fabric to press against his sides, just above the waistband of his pants.

The definition of his muscles made my fingers itch to bare him completely.

While he held himself above me on stiff arms, I reached for the buttons of his dress shirt.

Before I started, though, I glanced up and had to swallow at the lust defining the sharp angles of his face.

Oh my.

I’d never been the recipient of that much pure desire from anyone.Ever.It was intoxicating.It made me want to strip naked and give him free rein.

Dangerous.Way too dangerous.

Why?It wasn’t like I was going to marry the guy.I was going to have hot sex for one night.

“I think you need to take your clothes off now.”

His only outward response to my husky demand words was the ripple of his throat as he swallowed.Then he pushed up onto his knees above me and went to work on his shirt buttons.

My fingers actually twitched to help him but I kept them curled into the couch cushions.I’d never seen anything as sexy as this man taking off his shirt to reveal the amazing body beneath.

Wide shoulders, broad chest bulky with muscle.Freaking washboard abs that would’ve made an underwear model salivate.

But this man was no model.His collar bone showed the long scar of an incision and he had a bruise on his left arm that covered most of his bicep and another just above his right hip.

“Do those hurt?”

His gaze never left mine.“Does what hurt?”

I reached out to trail my fingers just above the bruise on his hip.He looked down, watching with narrowed eyes as I barely touched him.

“No.”His voice held a deep note of control that made me want to whimper.“But I’ll show you what does.”

I swallowed convulsively as his hands dropped to the waistband on his pants then flashed him a grin when he stopped after popping the button.

“Do you need some help?”

His eyes narrowed and I had to suck in a quick breath before I started to pant.“I’d say yes but it might derail my plans.”

“And what plans are those?”

“Making you come at least twice before I get inside you.”

Holy shit.Adrenaline drop-loaded into my bloodstream and my lips parted but nothing emerged.I was at a loss for words and that didn’t happen often.If he knew me better, he’d know just how amazing my silence was.

That thought was obliterated a second later when he pulled down the zipper and shoved his pants off his hips.

I had a quick glimpse of his thick, rock-hard erection before he reached for my shirt and began to pull it up my body.

As I wiggled beneath him to help get the shirt over my head, I had a quick second to think,Damn, I’m glad I wore the green satin bra and panty set this morning.
