“Yes, you can, and you do it well,” Snake said, shaking his head.

“What do you want? It’s obvious you don’t think you need my help, so why bother stopping by to tell me?”

His jaw clenched like I’d seen a few times before, ready to bite my head off but I was prepared for him this time. “I came to tell you that I’m too dangerous for you.”

“Dangerous?” I laughed, the ugly sound reflecting the bitterness and fear that had formed a dull ache in my stomach. After what I’d been through, his kind of danger was exciting. “You obviously don’t know me well enough. What if I not only like danger but crave it? What will you say then?”

Now he was befuddled. “Bullshit.”

“Try me.”

He shifted from foot to foot, his brow furrowing and without a doubt, he was indeed the sexiest man alive. “Fine. Then how about going out with me but I get to choose what we do.”

It wasn’t really a question but a statement. “Fine. Give it your best shot.” I agreed without thinking about it, but as soon as I did, the heat erupting in my core became an intense volcano, my panties instantly damp.

He narrowed his eyes, his baby blues piercing mine. Then he nodded. “You leave early today.”

“I’m already leaving early. I have a contractor coming to my house at two. You will not interfere with that.”

“Fine. Three o’clock I’ll be at your house. Wear jeans and don’t expect flowers or anything frothy.”

“Frothy?”

“You know what I mean.”

“You mean romantic,” I snarled. “I wouldn’t expect that from you at all, Corporal Garcia.”

His entire body was tense, his muscles strained against the tight confines of his clothing and all I could think about was ripping them off him.

Way to go. Another professional moment.

When he grabbed both sides of my face, pulling me toward him, I gasped and snapped my fingers around his wrist.

“And you will do everything I tell you to do.” His deep voice was sweet velveteen sliding down every inch of my body. The man could make me swoon like no other. The second he crushed his lips over mine, stars floated across my periphery of vision.

The man could kiss, his gruffness stimulating the deep part of my core. As he pulled me onto my toes, sweeping his tongue inside, all the walls I’d built seemed to crumble to my feet. He made me feel special and wanted, the passion we shared tumultuous but everything I needed. With every guttural sound, every ragged breath, I was pulled deeper into the sweet bliss he’d shown me.

He dominated my tongue just like he wanted to do my life. The horrible experience I’d gone through was fading quickly, replaced with sheer joy. I shouldn’t want him, but I wasn’t certain I could live without him.

When he finally broke the kiss, he dragged his tongue around my lips, his fingers digging into my skin. “You’re mine. All mine. And no one is ever going to hurt you.” Seconds later, a sly grin crossed his face and he swung me around, pitching me over the edge of my desk. When he brought his hand down on my bottom four times in rapid succession, I was momentarily stunned. Seconds later, my panties were damp, my pussy quivering for his rough touch.

As he cracked his hand from one side to the other, I closed my eyes, my nipples swollen and aching. I allowed myself to become lost in the moment, breathless with wonder as another round of excitement tore through me.

“What’s that for?” I breathed.

“For being hardheaded. For not telling me what was going on. And a reminder that you’re required to obey me.” There was a husky sound to his voice, throaty and seductive.

“Yes, sir.” The two words came easily. When he slipped his hand under my shirt, tweaking my nipple, the pain provided a strange sense of being.

As if I was always meant to belong to him.

When he backed away, I remained where I was for a few seconds before turning around, my face flushed. Swallowing, I couldn’t seem to put any words together. He had that kind of effect on me.

He tilted his head, his playful look disappearing. Then I could swear his entire body sagged as he remained unblinking. “And I do need your help. My leg aches all the time.”

I took a deep breath, trying to keep from squealing. I’d won a hard-fought round and I was damn proud of myself. “Then I hope you brought a change of clothes because we’re getting started right now.”

His glare was as commanding as before, but he nodded.
