Not responding to my simple gesture, he turns around, closes the door, and starts for me.

My feet skid back as if my body has been warned.

The storm is coming.

The closer he gets, the more I heat and the wetter I become.

I hit the wall and suck in a shuddered breath.

His hand presses against the wall beside my head, stopping him from moving forward and crashing into my body.

Silence fills me. I note the bruise on his cheek.

Cole didn’t mention the job he was following up on was for their escort service. The thought of him rescuing a woman, helping her, and getting her to safety makes me want him even more. He’s a dark angel—a guardian dressed in the devil’s attire.

His hooded eyes lull me, yet at the same time, they excite me. He’s constantly messing with my emotions. I never know what to feel around him, but the one thing I do know is the only place I want to be is with him. In his capable hands and under his spell is where I thrive.

“Hi,” he says in a low, raspy panty-melting voice.

Eyes fixated on mine. He captures me. Traps me within his cryptic realm. A dark, mysterious, and intriguing place I’m forever drawn to. I want to open the door to his soul, see past the storm in his eyes and discover what lies beneath his well-protected thunder.

His eyebrow raises as he sets his other hand on the wall. So slow. So methodical. “Did you miss me?”

I lift my chin, not sure how to respond to him. “No.” I take a stance of defense.

A small grin hits his perfect lips—God, how I want them on me.

Anywhere.

Everywhere.

“Yes. You did,” he says with way too much confidence.

Heat shifts in my body, scurrying for release.

The fire needs somewhere to go.

“I missed you,” he says as the grin meets his shadowy eyes.

“Liar.” My defense fires back.

He laughs. “I did.” He glances at my mouth. “All I could think about was you.”

I watch him inspect my lips, and they forsake me, tingling for his touch.

I pause to lick the pending numbness from my lips. “And what were you thinking about?”

“How it’s time for me to show you” —his head lowers— “my power.” His mouth melts the tingle, igniting a new scorching flame.

Dammit! His power not only claims my lips but my entire being.

His tongue swoops in and conquers my will as well. I grab his broad shoulders to deepen the kiss. My legs wrap around his sturdy hips. I cling to his strong form, fighting the flames burning within.

“And you said you didn’t miss me,” he says between kisses while carrying me with no effort to the desk.

My ass hits the wood. His large hand covers my throat. He pushes me to lie flat on my back on the hard desk.

I relish in the power he has over me. Dark heated eyes brush over my body like the fire he’s generating inside. Dragging his hand down my throat, he stops at my shirt. He unbuttons the top button of my blouse.
