“I guess that means that we don’t have to have any further contact!” The smug smile on her face makes me want to paddle her little ass.

I stalk out the door and she backs away quickly, her smile slipping. “You think that this is the only thing we have going for us? That if I’ve got my papers I’m gonna leave you alone?”

She nods her head and her blond hair shifts, drawing my eye, making my fingers twitch. I wanna touch her, taste her. Devour her body and soul until all that she is is mine.

I grab her arm and pull her to me, smiling when her pretty blue eyes lift and widen. I know I look like a crazy man. Know that I should let her go. Let her pull away.

Hell, I should stay the hell away from her.

But I touched her, tasted her sweetness and now I crave it like my body craves air.

I lean over her and drag my nose up her throat, chuckling when she shivers and moves closer. “You think you don’t want me to touch you, don’t you, babydoll? You think that if I go away you won’t miss me. Won’t need me like you need water.”

Her mouth drops open and she groans, then reaches up with her free hand to cover her mouth. There’s lust and desire in her sky-blue eyes but there’s something else that makes me pull back and let her back away.

Fear. I’m not sure if it’s at me or herself but she’s afraid of something right now. It almost guts me that it might be me.

I clear my throat. “I’ll let you get away for now. But you might as well accept it. There’s something between us here.” I hold up the folder. “Something bigger than a piece of paper. And now that I tasted you and you touched me, practically crawled up my body like a fucking anaconda, there’s no way in hell I’m letting you get away from me.”

Her mouth drops open and she stares at me like I’ve lost my mind.

I chuckle. “Yeah, it’s shocking isn’t it, firecracker. Who knew that all that mouth would get me so fucking hot I can’t sleep?”

She shakes her head and backs away from me. “I don’t understand what’s going on here but I need to get home.”

I lean against my door and eye her disappearing figure with a smile. There’s just something about her that revs my engine.

“I’m coming for you, firecracker!” I call after her and laugh when she gets in her car and I see her glaring at me right before she backs out.

And for some reason, when I walk in the house, drop the papers on my console table by the front door and then drop into my bed, I fall asleep right away with the biggest smile on my face.

CHAPTER5

Rebel

Istagger into my office in the morning, exhausted. Dixie eyes me and then starts laughing.

“You look like a rough road, Reb.”

I groan and throw myself into my high-backed chair, leaning back and closing my eyes.

“I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Oooh. Those are the ones you really need to share!”

I crack an eyelid and stare at her. “What the hell are you talking about?”

“if it’s something you don’t want to talk about, then I definitely want to know what’s up. That’s always the good stuff!”

“Right.” I cross my arms and drop my head to the desk. “If you tell anyone this, I’ll deny it to my dying breath.”

I peek at her and she’s staring at me, her eyes round with surprise. “No fucking way.” She breathes.

“What?”

“Did you have naughty, dirty sexy times with the delicious Tony?”

I shoot back in my chair and stare at her. “Whoa! Why the hell would you say that?”
