“You’re not going anywhere. ” He crossed his arms over the white shirt he wore and stared back at her implacably. “Admit it. ”
“Why are you harassing me? Go away, Alex. ” She turned back to the computer and shut it down. “I have paperwork to do. ”
She was lifted from the chair and tossed over his shoulder.
“What are you doing?” she screeched, bracing her hands above his butt and staring down. “Let me down. ”
His hand landed on her ass in a quick little slap that had her eyes widening.
“You’re done for the night,” he told her, striding to the door.
She heard him setting the alarm, then the lights flipped out and cold air was swirling beneath her skirt as he stepped outside.
“You’re crazy. ” She throttled the yell that the accusation should have been. “Certifiable. Dammit, Alex, I have work to do. ”
“Yes, you do,” he drawled, moving up the stairs. “You have a hell of a job ahead of you and it involves my hard dick. I’d rather take care of that in a bed if you don’t mind. ”
Arousal should not have slammed inside her. She shouldn’t have just let him cart her around like a sack of potatoes because his dick was hard and he wanted a bed to fuck in.
But she did. Because she wanted him. She loved him. Because she wanted as many memories as she could build before she had to force herself to let him go.
“Here we go. ” He set her on her feet at the door, then moved in front of her to unlock it and push it open.
It was silent as a tomb inside. He flipped the kitchen light on and moved inside, pulling her into the kitchen and closing the door before punching in the code for the security system.
Janey stayed in place as he pulled the handgun from the holster he wore behind his back and moved through the apartment.
He flipped lights on and off as he moved through each room, finally returning to the kitchen, his tall, broad body moving with a male grace and power that never failed to make her heart race.
“It’s clear?” she asked as he pushed the gun back into its holster.
“Clear. ” His gaze flickered over her. “Those short skirts are killing me, you know. Knowing what you’re wearing under them. Smoky stockings and a black garter belt. It makes me hard, Janey. ”
“Everything makes you hard. ” She pulled the gray silk blouse from the band of her skirt and began unbuttoning it slowly.
“Everything about you makes me hard,” he agreed, his expression beginning to tighten as he loosened the reins on his arousal.
“Just me?” She leaned against the wall, watching him closely, knowing she was pushing, and in pushing would most likely end up with a broken heart.
She couldn’t just let things ride, could she? No, she had to have more. She had to push for an emotion she knew he didn’t feel.
“Just you,” he surprised her with his answer. “I haven’t wanted another woman since you came home, Janey. ”
But was it enough?
She left her blouse unbuttoned as she moved her hand to the little clasp and zipper at the side of her skirt.
“Do you give me all of you?” she asked him softly, promising herself that she was not going to mention love.
His hands fisted at his side. “What do you want?”
“The one thing you want to give me the most,” she whispered.
“Do you know what that is, baby?” His voice roughened, lowered. “You don’t know what all of me can be. ”
Janey licked her lips as she let the skirt slide over her hips and pool at her feet. His gaze flared, became thunderous, his cheekbones darkening as arousal tautened his features, making them sharper, more savage.
“Maybe I need to know all of you, Alex. You take all of me. You come inside me without protection, knowing what could come of it. You want more from me than you should ever have the chance to demand. Maybe I want to see what I’m getting in the bargain. ”
