Seraphina considered lying but didn’t. “No, it’s only sore.”
His nostrils flared. One hand reached up and pressed the exact area of her right shoulder. She winced and tried to shrug his touch off but he continued his check. “There’s no damage. Integrity held.”
She didn’t need him to inform her of that and glared. “Luckily.”
Anger returned to his face and he shook her. “Why?! Why did you come here? You had to know we’d catch you.”
She didn’t mention that the shot killing Niehl hadn’t come from her. Truth was, shehadfired. Only the other person shot first and Niehl jerking to the left as his head was blown off made Seraphina miss. Otherwise, he’d be dead by her hand.
At least the end result was the same.
“Are you going to say anything?” Rook snarled at her silence.
“He deserved to die!” she spat without breaking his stare. Let him think what he wanted.
His lips firmed in response, brown eyes darkening as he leaned closer. She tried to ignore the way her body softened in welcome.
“You took a dangerous risk. What if I’d killed you? One of my teammates?” Each question hit like a heated blast.
Curling her lip, she hiked her knee and tried to emasculate that part of him all men guarded. Rook blocked the move easily by pressed his weight into her. She nearly moaned in ecstasy. Biting back the betraying sound, she glared at the face glowering down at her. “Don’t pretend you care. It’s too late for that, Roarke. My bad, I should call you by your name, Rook.”
His brows slanted down, the frown on his face growing darker. He transferred the grip on her arms to raise them above her head and pinned her wrists to the wall with one hand. The other buried in her hair at the back of her neck and he yanked hard, jerking her head back. “I’m not the only one who lied that night.”
“Really?” she huffed in disbelief. Anger thickened her voice. “You’re comparing a quick fuck with a stranger to drugging a harmless sleeping woman?”
Her comment jolted him. Shame flashed over his features and the fingers in her hair loosened. Seraphina pushed down the regret at clearly hurting him. He’d hurt her. Worse.
He recovered and sneered. “Harmless? You’re wanted for questioning in the death of seven men.”
“Seven murderous drug dealers that no one will miss,” she rejoined.
A pause. Seraphina waited. Rook shook his head, the action causing a strand of disheveled strand of hair to fall across his brow. “You’re right but crime is handled by those authorized legally. What you did puts you in the category of a vigilante.”
She forced a casual shrug to her shoulders. “Sue me.”
Rook’s gaze dropped. With her hands overhead, her breasts were thrust prominently forward, her nipples hard nubs brushing against the inside of her protective nano suit with each breath she took.
Based on the heated expression Rook wore, he could imagine. He groaned as his head bent forward. Their foreheads glanced against one another as he angled his face and his mouth was on hers. She twisted her head to the side to avoid the kiss but he followed the motion, lips chasing hers.
Pressing their mouths together, he forced her lips apart in a passionate demand she couldn’t resist. Her mouth fell open on a defeated gasp and he took advantage. The slick glide of his tongue against hers made her shudder. She widened her stance and he moved forward, hips aligning between her thighs.
Because of the texture of her suit, she couldn’t feel the heavy weight of his erection but her memory was excellent and she worked her hips against him in frantic pumps.
Rook growled, the sound curling the hair at her nape even as it sent a thrill racing down her spine. She tugged at her hands but he clamped tighter with bruising force. Another moan broke free and her panties grew damp. Together their bodies rocked and pumped against one another.
Arousal grew in leaps and bounds until she was wet and panting. She wanted more, needed more but Rook pulled back. Holding her gaze, he used his free hand to stroke down the side of her armor covered torso. He paused at the protruding clasp at her left hip. His eyes dared her.
Shivering, she licked her lips and whispered, “Do it.”
He undid the hook and eased down the opening of her nano armor from hip to below her thighs. Cool air brushed against her legs and her damp folds. Moaning, she tossed her head from side to side. “Touch me.”
Rook stroked a lone finger through the middle of her sex, sending shards of blistering pleasure through her. She closed her eyes and pressed up on the tips of her toes in her boots.
It didn’t matter that she wanted to hate him. In this moment, she craved what he offered. His touch, his kiss, the sex he promised with the dark glint in his gaze.
Her arms were suddenly released. The click of a hook and rustle of fabric had her eyes opening. In a dazed state, she watched him pull his sleeves down and lower the top half of his jumpsuit to his waist. He wore no shirt beneath the uniform, his chest bare and hard.
“Say no now.”
