The relief that flooded me was stark. Hell, it wassharp. It should have pricked at my heart, but it couldn’t because that organ was too full of the feelings he inspired in me.
“We will?” I croaked.
He half sat up, tossed his tee overhead, then with one of his hands settling between my shoulder blades, he drew me into him. “We will. Now,areyou going to be my good girl, MaryCat?”
I sagged. “Yes.”
His mouth tipped up at the corners. That was the last thing I saw of it before it was on a direct collision course with mine.
I shuddered into the kiss, shivered and shook, especially as bare skin was finally brushing against bare skin.
“I want you, James,” I whispered.
Humming, he tongued my Cupid’s bow. “You’ve got me.”
The question was… for how long?

THING CALLED LOVE - ABOVE & BEYOND, RICHARD BEDFORD
The prissy princesswasn’t averse to a dirty biker defending her but she had a voice of her own—got it.
For all that MaryCat’s spitfire nature worked its wiles on me, her soft laughs and gentle smiles, her kind eyes and kinder words brought me to my knees.
Tenderness had never been something I’d sought out, mostly because I’d never been on the receiving end of it. My mom had loved me, but aside from a kiss on the cheek and a random hug, that was about it.
MaryCat was a toucher, and I was realizing that I liked being touched.
If anyone else had leaped on my back the way she had, I’d have dragged them off me, pinned them to the ground, and strangled the ever-living fuck out of them.
Prison had shaped me. You didn’t show someone your back, not without expecting to be stabbed in it.
Which meant the unthinkable was happening—I’d started letting my guard down around her.
It was too much, too soon, but hell if I could pull the brakes on her.
When she shivered against me as our torsos brushed, I lowered my mouth, dropping kisses to her chin, to the line of her jaw. I savored her soft scent a moment before I tugged on her earlobe and then suckled it.
The husky cry she let loose made me smile. Her innocent responses fired me up more than the crassest of clubwhore dirty talk ever could.
I ran my tongue over the curve of her ear then retreated to her throat where I sucked on the sensitive flesh, palpating it against my teeth, making sure there were more love bites there for her father and O’Donnelly to see.
It was a dangerous stunt to pull, but… I had faith.
In her.
There was no reason for her to know that I trusted no one apart from my brothers. And sometimes, I didn’t trust them either.
I licked along the sinews in her throat, moving to her collarbone.
While she trembled in my hold, I buried my face between her tits, careful because I knew my stubble would scratch her skin.
I brushed my mouth over her curves, enjoying the way she arched her back as if encouraging me to dive even deeper.
Finding her nipple, I sucked on the tip then bit on it, raking it until it was puckered and taut. Only then did I leave it and find the other.
