His nostrils flared, his chest puffing out like a typical male being challenged.
But I was drawn to him like a fly to honey. Of course I knew what happened to every single fly who found themselves caught in the sticky mess.
And I was headed straight for the stickiest kind.
Only after a full five seconds of tension, incredible sexual tension that left me hot and wet all over did I take a step back, yanking the mat into my hand. I fought with the thick rubber as I tried to roll it, cursing under my breath. I couldn’t believe he’d gotten under my skin that far. I’d placed a wall around me that had been impenetrable.
Until him.
Ugh. I was furious with myself.
And to make it worse, he remained silent, staring at me with his baby blues, acting as if I’d just tossed his world upside down. Apollo lifted his head, his tail thumping, and the little whine he issued meant he was used to his Daddy Dog’s ugly behavior. It had been a long time since I’d been this enraged, my mind a foggy mess as I stormed toward the door, yanking my coat into my other hand, shoving it under my arm.
“You’re not going anywhere,” he growled.
I almost laughed. Now he wanted me to stay? I threw him a look over my shoulder, trying so hard not to think of him as anything but my patient. “Oh, yeah? Who’s going to stop me?” My, oh, my. He looked like a little slice of heaven.
Think of something else.
Whipped cream. Dark chocolate.
Wait a minute. All that did was push me into a fantasy realm. Oh, no.
Snake raked his hand through his hair, his chest heaving. The way he was staring at me was entirely different, the look in his eyes bordering possessive.
“I am, sweetheart.”
As soon as I placed my hand on the doorknob, he advanced like a predator, yanking me away and twirling me to face him. His forceful actions caused me to drop the roll, my jacket falling to the side, and my natural fighting instinct kicked in. I pummeled my fists against his chest, my pulse racing.
“What the hell are you doing?” I demanded. When he lowered his head, my brain was muddled by an intense rush of feelings.
“What does it look like I’m doing?”
“Trying to piss me off.”
“Try again, sweetheart.” He pulled me against his chest, grinding his hips back and forth, and I was instantly shaken, my stomach doing flipflops from the feel of his thick, hard cock pressing against it.
What is he doing?A wave of desire unlike anything I’d ever felt rushed into me, the sensations creating a need that defied the one thing I’d promised myself I’d never do.
Care too much about a patient again.
I wanted nothing more than to shove him away, but I didn’t seem to have the initiative, my body trembling in his hold. It felt so good to be in his strong arms, and for a few precious seconds, there was no doubt he was the kind of man who could protect me.
Then something snapped inside, and I came to my senses, using everything I could to break the powerful connection. After managing to take a step away, I slammed my fists against his chest. After that, I’d lost all sense of resolve, slapping him hard across the face.
All he did was grin, eager to continue our angry banter. Then he wiped his mouth with his arm. Why did he have to make a worn-out tee shirt look so sexy? I took several deep breaths, nervous as a kitty.
“You know, it occurred to me. You want to talk to me about discipline. I think you’re the one who needs a taste of the way I handle it since you’re one bad girl.”
“Are you out of your mind? I haven’t done anything wrong.”
“Oh, yeah? You come into my house, acting as if you’re the authority, spouting off shit about my record and my recent actions without asking me a single question. You just assumed you knew me well enough to have the right to disrupt my life, coming in like a freight train. Well, lady, you know nothing about me or what I went through.”
All he had to do was snap his hand around my wrist and I knew there was no getting away from the brawny man. Still, I wasn’t the kind of woman to give in that easily.
As he dragged me back into the room, I continued fighting with him. But I realized I was in trouble because a part of me was refusing to fight back. “Let me go.”
“That’s not going to happen.” His grin was positively evil and when he planted me in front of the couch, all the wicked thoughts I’d had before swarmed into the furthest reaches of my mind.
