He takes a breath. Deeply shocked, I stare at him with my mouth open, my heart up in my throat.
“We’re both professionals. We have a job to do. And I don’t mix business with pleasure. Ever. But the way I figure it, we’ve got one more night until the work actually starts, and if I don’t do something to get you straight in my head, I won’t be able to do the job at all.”
He stops abruptly. Then he waits, watching me with unwavering intensity as I attempt to digest what just happened.
I whisper in disbelief, “You’re propositioning me?”
His gaze drops to my lips. When he looks back into my eyes, his own are burning. “You liked that kiss.”
He gives me time to deny it, but I don’t. How could I? We both know I’d be lying.
He adds, “And you called me hot, so I know you don’t think I’m a complete troll, even though you act like you do.”
“That was an accident.”
“Yep.” He nods. “And you fuckin’ hated yourself for it. Which is why I know it was true.”
Things are happening in my body. My nipples harden, my breath quickens, there is a distinctive throb and ache between my legs. All because this jarhead I hate just told me he wants to do bad things to me.
Bad things. Dear God, were any two sexier words ever spoken?
Connor says tersely, “It’s your turn to talk.”
Staring at him, I bite my lower lip. Seeing that, his eyes flare. He leans closer, and then closer still, until I can smell the fresh, soap-scrubbed scent of his skin, count every piece of stubble glinting copper along his hard jaw.
In a voice like sandpaper, he says, “Tabitha.”
I hesitate for a moment, fighting the simultaneous urges to slap him and surrender to him, hating myself for being intrigued, hating this excruciating disconnect between what my mind insists is logical and what my body is loudly demanding. Ultimately, my curiosity wins out by a hair.
I say, “About those bad things you mentioned…”
He reaches out and takes my wrist in his big, warm hand. He gently pulls me off my chair and toward him, so I’m standing between his open thighs, our chests almost touching. Our gazes locked together, he murmurs, “I want to make you come.”
I exhale, a small, astonished noise, my eyes flared wide and my heart pounding.
At my reaction, he presses closer, his mouth at my ear, his voice gruff with desire.
“I want to put my face between your legs and eat your beautiful sweet pussy until you come so hard, you forget your own name. Then I want to slide my hard cock inside you and fuck you, slow and deep. And when you’re about to come again, I’ll put a finger in here—” He reaches around, palms my ass, slips a finger between my cheeks until he hits the tender spot that makes me gasp—“and kiss you, so that when you go off, you’re full of me everywhere, your whole body is full of me, and all you can think of is me, all you can do is feel me fucking you, how much you love it, how incredible it feels, and how you never, ever want it to stop.”
A noise involuntarily escapes my lips, a low, breathy moan that sounds as if he’s already inside me.
A loud throat clearing. “Excuse me, folks.”
The waiter has arrived with our drinks. Connor and I ignore him completely. He sets the drinks down and quickly leaves.
Into my ear, Connor breathes, “Talk to me, sweetheart.”
I close my eyes, losing myself inch by inch to the most powerful desire I’ve ever felt. “We can’t.”
“Yes, we can. One night. Just to get it out of our system.” His other hand finds my hip, curls possessively around it. He drags me closer to his body, so we’re flush against each other, crotch to chest.
He’s hard everywhere.
Nearby, someone snickers, enjoying the scene we’re making, but I could care less.
My trembling hands climb iron
pecs and flatten over them. “We shouldn’t.”
