Page 72 of Adam’s Obsession

“God, you’re beautiful,” he said on a breath.

She reached up to adjust his lapel—though it was perfect asit was. “You’re quite handsome yourself.” Their eyes met. They shared a smile.

With great effort, Adam tamed the demons clamoring withinhim. All he wanted was to take her in his arms and kiss her. But they hadsomething to discuss. Something important.

“Are you going to tell me what Jack has over you?” Thecuriosity was killing him.

Kat quirked a brow. “Are you sure you want to know?”

He stared at her in silence, just taking in her beauty,wrestling with the emotions swirling in his gut…and he grinned. A year ago,hell, a month ago, his jealousy would have torn him apart. There was justsomething about Katherine Hart that put him at ease, something that made himfeel safe with her.

Perhaps it was the enthusiasm with which she approachedtheir lovemaking or knowing she never, ever, looked at another man with lust inher eyes. Or perhaps it was her aura, so loving and warm and calm, or thatshe’d told him, straight-out, she didn’t see the point of marrying someone ifyou didn’t intend to be faithful. Whatever it was, he had no doubts about her.None at all.

“Absolutely, I want to know.”

“Well,” she said playfully. “It seems the company I work forhas a very advanced VoIP system.”

“Is that so?” His lips twitched as he recalled some of thefun he’d had with that program.

“Yes. And someone—who shall remain nameless—demanded I get ahold of a copy of that program.”

“I see.”

“So I went to Jack. I asked him for a copy and he gave me abeta of the new version.”

“And you promised him a dance.”

“I was rather desperate. I mean, I was getting carpal tunnelin one wrist.” Her smile warmed a cold place in his heart. “Can you everforgive me? If it’s any consolation, it was a miserable dance.”

Adam chuckled and pulled her into his arms. “There’s nothingto forgive. Although I did go a little primal when I saw his hands on yourass.” He slipped his hands down the satin of her dress and gently cupped thesame two slopes.

Kat murmured in pleasure and went up on her tiptoes tonibble on his neck. “You taste good.”

“You smell divine.” He leaned in to suck on her earlobe. Ashe grazed, he reveled in the feel of her against him. It didn’t take long forhis passion to rise. “God, I want you.”

She rubbed her hips against his, even as she whispered, “Nothere.”

His hunger sharpened. “No one’s watching.”

“Umm. I know. But Adam, we should talk.”

He frowned a little. “The last time we talked we got into afight.”

“I know. But I wanted to talk to you about that. I found asolution to our problem.”

“Really?” He smiled, stroking her back, moving hersurreptitiously out of the moonlight and into the shadow of the building. Heleaned closer and pressed against her. She gasped at the incontrovertible proofof his arousal. “So did I.” He bent his head to nuzzle her ear until sheshivered. “You go first.”

She hissed as his tongue danced into the bell of her ear. Heloved the way it felt when she arched against him. “Oh, Adam. Yes.”

“Hmm. I like your idea.”

She turned her head—so he couldn’t continue such delightfultorture—and fixed him with a scolding expression. “Behave.”

His palm skimmed down her thigh and back up, on theunderside of her dress.

“I am behaving,” he insisted. “Tell me your idea.”

“Are you listening or… Adam!” She shuddered as he dancedcloser to the damp heat of her center.
