“I’ll take that as a yes.”
He could take it any way he wanted. She swallowed in an effort to ease her dry throat. Okay, jumping him like that really hadn’t been her plan. But she’d seen the heat in his eyes the minute he walked into her office.
She’d known what he wanted. She would have been an idiot not to know once he started sizing her up and then glancing over at the chair like he’d been trying to figure out if they’d fit.
After a second’s thought, Erin had realized she didn’t want to wait on seduction. And that she’d wanted to break some rules.
Sex in the office.
“Why?” he asked her and she could only stare back at him blankly.
Slow and soft—that’s what she told him, but it wasn’t what she’d wanted. Not really. She’d had slow and soft for too long. She’d wanted loud and wild. She hadn’t wanted to worry about the others outside or—or about anything but Jude.
She’d just wanted him. The truth was that she would have taken him any way she could get him. But, yes, she’d wondered if the sex would be different if she held her primal nature back. If it would be as good.
The answer was...um, oh yes.She felt freaking great. Sex with Jude wasn’t like being with other men. Never would be. Soft and slow—still wonderful. Wild and hard—amazing.
He was ruining her for everyone else. “Soft and slow with you,” she finally managed, “is one hell of a lot better than the sex I had with other?—”
“Don’t go there.”
She blinked at the banked fury in his voice.
“I don’t want to hear about other men, and I sure don’t want to hear about them when I’m stillinyou.” The edges of his teeth had sharpened and he was eyeing her neck with a little too much attention.
Erin scrambled back, rising off him in a rush and then managing to stand with shaky knees.
She clenched her thighs, aware of the sticky residue from their?—
Jude jerked his zipper back up. He straightened his clothes fast, then rose, coming right at her.
Her panties were in his left fist. How had they gotten there? Hmm...she’d really need those soon. She couldn’t go to court without them. “Jude...”
“I’ll take you any way I can get you, but I’ll be damned if I share you with anyone.”
Her eyes widened. “I wouldn’t?—”
His hand, the one without the panties, pressed against her chest. Right over her heart. “Talking about in here, sweetheart. When we’re together, there’s no room for anyone else.”
This moment was important. The air was thick. His hand was warm against her, and her heart galloped away with that touch. “No one else is there.” It was true.
She was in trouble.
He smiled at her, and she thought about jumping him again. “Good,” he rumbled and pressed a hot, fast kiss to her lips. “And, for the record, there had damn well better not be anyone else taking that sweet body.”
She didn’t want anyone else the way she wanted him. Never had.
“This insanity with the stalker is going to be ending soon,” he told her. “You won’t need a hunter anymore.”
She’d always need him. Not for protection or for his strength. She’d just...need him. Erin hadn’t needed anyone since her father died. No, she hadn’tletherself need anyone.
How had Jude gotten so close, so fast?
He saw past the surface. He saw things that others didn’t. Couldn’t.
He always looked at me as if he couldn’t wait to get me naked. Always looked at me like I was a woman.
Not a monster. Not the way Ben had looked at her hours before.
