Swinging around, Piper moved to the door that led to the sitting room of the suite and swung it open as her heart began pounding with enough force that she swore she could feel it in her throat.
And there he stood.
She crossed her arms beneath her breasts and leaned against the doorframe that connected the sitting room with the bedroom.
“What the hell are you doing here?” It was all she could do to fight back her amusement as well as the surge of sexual intensity sweeping through her.
He wasn’t wearing a shirt.
The broad, muscled expanse of his chest was bare. A light covering of dark blond curls feathered over the dark flesh and arrowed into the snug band of his jeans. And he was aroused.
Standing in the middle of her sitting room, bare chested and barefoot, he stared back at her with pure sensual intent burning in his dark, navy blue eyes.
“You’re dressed,” he accused her, his voice rough as he paced closer to her. “I thought you were naked and playing with toys. ”
“No, you didn’t. ” Piper could feel herself trembling from the force of the need racing through her. “That’s just an excuse, Jed. ”
“Yeah, it’s just an excuse,” he agreed as he stopped before her. “An excuse for this. ”
She hadn’t expected it to happen so fast—that his lips would be on hers, his fingers curving around the back of her neck, holding her in place as his lips took possession of hers.
She hadn’t expected she would weaken so fast. That her nails would dig instantly into his shoulders, that she would lean into him, against him, so eager for him that her body was quivering in excitement.
What the hell was this? What was he doing to her?
Then thought became impossible. Any possible chance of a denial evaporated as pleasure began to build with a fiery force.
Oh, hell, yes.
Desperate to get closer to him, she wrapped her arms around his neck as he lifted her against him, holding her close in his arms as he lifted her from her feet.
She was weightless.
Gravity couldn’t touch her, and neither could the reality of common sense.
“Whoa. Oh, hell, no!”
Piper found herself suddenly spun around, released, and pushed protectively behind Jed in a move so powerful she knew she’d never figure out how he managed it. But one minute she was in his arms kissing him for everything she was worth, and the next second she was pushing past him to confront her big brother.
The big lug.
He was staring at them as though he had never witnessed such a thing.
“Forget what a couple kissing looks like?” she snapped as he suddenly lost that surprised look and turned a glare on Jed instead.
Moving to Jed’s side rather than behind him, Piper crossed her arms over her breasts and stared back at Dawg furiously. “When are you going to learn to knock at the doors to our suites rather than barging in, Dawg Mackay?” she demanded. “I could have been naked or something. ”
“In the living area?” he demanded, outraged. “And I’ve never knocked, dammit. You have a bedroom for this crap anyway. ”
“It’s my suite,” she informed him. “I could be naked in either room if I want to be. And why should I have to do everything private in my bedroom? I had the door locked. I did not tell you to unlock it. Try knocking. ”
He didn’t even look at her. He was too busy glowering at Jed.
Neither man blinked.
“I was going to say good night,” he snarled, finally sparing a short glance her way before turning back to Jed with a killing look.
“Good night, then. ” She waited for him to leave.
