Connor studiedher silently for a moment before holding out his hand. “Ready togo?”

“Yes. Yeah, Isure am. Let’s go. Bye, Daniel.” Without looking at Daniel, shetook Connor’s hand and followed him to his car.

Why did shefeel so damn guilty?

Connor walkedher to the passenger door and when he didn’t open it, she chanced aglance at him. The expression on his face was flat, and she gavehim a timid smile. “Connor, are you -”

His arm hookedaround her waist and he drew her up against his body, one handcupping the back of her skull as his mouth crashed down on hers.She made a startled squeak into his mouth, her lips parting when hepushed his tongue against the seam of them.

He kissed herhard, his usual coaxing and teasing style of kissing gonecompletely under a rough and demanding type of urgency that tookher breath away.

She forgot theywere in public.

She forgot thiswas fake.

She forgotabout Daniel.

Until thismoment, she hadn’t realized just how much she’d missed kissingConnor. Without any shame, she put her arms around him and clung tohim, kissing him back with unabashed eagerness.

One big handreached down and cupped her ass. He squeezed it with casualfamiliarity before pressing her against the growing hardness belowhis waist. She moaned into his mouth and rubbed her breasts againsthim.

His handsqueezed her ass again and he made a possessive growl against hermouth before pushing her up against the car. He nipped at herbottom lip and then licked her upper lip. She moaned again and hepulled back, staring down at her red and swollen mouth.

“Connor?” shewhispered. “Are you okay?”

His voice wasbrisk. “Fine.”

He pulled heraway from the car and opened the passenger door. “Get in,Kira.”

She touched hermouth before climbing into the car. As Connor walked to thedriver’s side, she could see Daniel still standing in the parkinglot. He was studying Connor, but it was too dark, and he was toofar away for Kira to tell if it was jealousy on his face.

Connor climbedin, a flash of pain crossing his face when he bent his right knee,and slammed the door shut. Without speaking, he started the car anddrove out of the parking lot.

She didn’tspeak on the way home. Her heart was pounding, lust was floodingthrough her entire nervous system and she was desperately tryingnot to reach across the car and press her hand against Connor’scrotch. Was he still hard for her? Was he going to come in to thehouse with her, take her upstairs, undress her and give her exactlywhat she needed? What she wanted?

Kira! What iswrong with you? One hot kiss from Connor and you’re gonna give upyour v-card to him?

It was a reallygreat kiss…

Her inner voicedidn’t reply, and she kept her hands in her lap and her gaze lockedout the window. Okay, so, things were getting a little weird in herbrain but that was probably just the lust. If the previous two guysshe’d kissed, had kissed like Connor, she would have been temptedto sleep with them too.

Her reactionwas perfectly normal. Connor was an amazing kisser and a womanwould have to be completely dead inside not to be affected by it.She was normal, her reaction was normal. Everything was normal.

Perfectlynormal.

“Kira?”

She jumped atthe sound of Connor’s voice. “Uh, yeah?”

“We’rehere.”

She staredblankly out the windshield at her house before turning to Connor.“Thank you for the ride home. Good night.”

Was thatdisappointment that crossed his face? Did he want her to ask him tocome inside?

“Good night.”His voice was brusque.

She opened thedoor, feeling weird and uncertain and… goddammit, horny as hell.She squeezed the door handle before blurting, “Why did you dothat?”
