Damn it. I’m done for. I can’t forget the fantasy now. I’ve tasted a drop of Kara’s kerosene and am close enough to feel what the sparks of our attraction will do to it.
“Well, we can always drive to Pasadena and march up to McCarthy’s front door to ask if Erin can come out to play—”
“No.” She seals a hand over my mouth. “Are you hell-bent on giving trouble another open invite?”
“Not fond of considering anything with the wordhellin it right now,” I mutter against her palm. “But I could be talked into trouble if you have ideas.”
The edges of her cherry-colored lips kick up. A wider smile tiptoes across them as I reposition my head, making it possible to nibble toward her wrist.
“Ermmm…Professor Kane…”
“Yes, Miss Valari?” I’m already headed toward her elbow.
“Are you…flirting with me?”
I chuckle. It’s hard to believe that I said the same thing to her less than a month ago. Between then and now, we’ve been through so much with each other. Learned so much about each other. But in so many ways, we’ve barely just begun our journey together. At least not like this. Not as a simple guy and his beautiful girl, making moony eyes at each other on a bright autumn afternoon. Even being a little nervous about it, but in all the good ways.
“Flirting?” I’m able to drawl it with a little style. Doesn’t hurt to have the silky skin of her inner arm beneath my smirking lips. “I guess that all depends.”
She pulls in a quivering breath. “On what?”
“On whether it’s working.”
Her laugh brings more music to the air. “I guess that depends on your ultimate intentions.”
A chuckle tumbles out of me. But it’s strangled halfway up my throat when the little minx revealsherobjective. Just before I dip low to show her my intentions with a lusty kiss, she’s backed up and lowered herself away. Gotten herself very cozy…in the sexiest pile of leaves I’ve ever seen.
Especially because the mound has gotten so thick due to being caught between some sizable rocks.
I watch, gulping hard and grinning harder, as Kara leans back to take advantage of the boulders’ unique positions. With her knees pressed against two of the stones, she rests her head against a third. Her hands reach above for purchase.
It’s a perfect halo, formed from my little demon’s own flesh and muscle. Best of all, it’s so close to the pretty fan of her skirt made by the splay of her legs. Does she think I need the fire of redemption or a cool breeze of relief? What about both?
I’ll take both.
“My intentions?” I drop to my knees in the leaves with her. “Does taking advantage of you right here and now count?”
Her seductive grin is dappled in golden sunlight. The sight is sheer perfection. I lean over, grabbing the curves of her knees to scoot her closer by another inch. Another. I don’t give her a chance to approve or veto the plan. I’m too busy plunging forward until my tongue is in her mouth, her thighs are in my hands, and my cock is straining at my zipper, aimed toward one goal alone.
CHAPTER SEVEN
KARA
Just when I think Maximus can’t take me to higher planes of pleasure, my body tightens its hold around his. Our sighs turn into moans, mixing with the whirl of the wind and the chatter of the leaves in a symphony I vow to remember until the end of my existence. No. Beyond that.
It’s perfect. A cavalcade of awareness. A torrent of emotions. A mesh of entanglement. These chains, I never want to be free of.
Ever…
Maximus rolls his hips with quiet but firm intent. I reply with a needy whimper.More, I beg him from deep inside. Or is thathimpleading fromme? Does it matter?
More…
“Ohfuck. Kara…”
It trails away as my hands emulate my desire, rising up. They seek and then find the broad purchase of his shoulders.
He leans down and sears every inch of my mouth with a decadent kiss. He’s giving but greedy. Honest but erotic. Soft and tender but thorough and deep. I give it all back in equal measure, moving a hand around his neck to keep him locked to me. Craving him here. Reveling in the untamed heat of him. The damp sweat beneath his hair. The slick exertion that helps me trace his muscles. But most of all, the pure force of his passion, tumbling into me. Reawakening me. Binding him to me like no other connection we’ve shared.
