Excerpt:
Ray grabs my wrists and pins them to the mat over my head, his body angled over me. My breath catches in my throat, and I steel myself for the memories, the black rush, the heart-pounding fear, but it doesnβt come. Instead, a red haze settles over my vision, and I press my lips together and buck my hips, throwing him slightly forward.
Bad plan. Now his groin is only inches away from my face. Heβs still wearing his jeans, which means that bulge isnβt a cup.
βRay…ββ¨His face softens. βI hurt you.ββ¨βYes, you hurt me. Keeping secrets hurts me. It makes me feel like you donβt respect me. And it makes me feel like I canβt trust you. So maybe you could return to your proper seat now. Tray table up.β
He shifts down, settling his weight over my hips, but he doesnβt release my hands. βI hurt you. Means you care.β
I swallow hard and meet his gaze. βYou hurting me means I was being stupid. Things were going where I didnβt want them to go. Now Iβve had a wake-up call. You have secrets you canβt share. You need to protect your secrets. I need to be with someone I can trust, and I need to stand on my own two feet. Itβs just not going to work between us.β
His gaze darkens, searing me to the core. βYou want to be done? Or are you scared and trying to push me away?β
The air shifts between us, electrifying, tightening my nipples and heating my blood. I am hyperaware of his thighs tucked against my hips, carrying most of his weight as he sits astride me in a dominant MMA position. My wrists, hot under his palms, press against the cool mat, restrained in a way I could never have imagined allowing them to be restrained. My chest rises and falls twice for every one of Rayβs breaths, and my core tightens. The innuendo isnβt lost on me. God, yes. I want to be done in the carnal sense of the word. But only by Ray. And I donβt really want to let him go.
βI donβt want to lose you.β
Rayβs hands tighten on my wrists, and he leans down and brushes a kiss over my lips. βI donβt want to lose you either, but I live in a dangerous world. Iβve got stuff in my life that would make your head spin. I need to protect you from that, and Iβll do what it takes to keep you safe, even if it means you hate me for it, because for the first time in my life, I want something more than doing my duty. I want a life and I want you in it. Iβve got one bad guy to catch and then Iβm free. And after Iβm done and after what went down this evening, youβll never have to worry about being safe again.β
Finally, he releases my hands but I donβt move. Heat sweeps through my belly. I feel both vulnerable and curiously safe lying beneath him. My gaze shifts from his intense gaze to his sensual lips, and my breasts swell, remembering the touch of his hands, the gentle press of his lips. He wants me. Not just today, but tomorrow and the tomorrow after that.
βYou make it sound like I donβt have a choice about being with you.β
βYou donβt.β He leans down and kisses me with a savage fierceness that takes my breath away.
