I gaze up at the man towering over me. “Did you just sniff me?”

He cups my cheek with his hand. “I’m drinking you in, Charlie, and I can’t get enough.”

My heart skips a beat. Delicious sensations from his touch race through my body like an electric current, and I moan softly as I sway toward him. “What are you doing to me?”

Ryan grins. “Mate attraction.” He trails his finger down my neck, and while his touch is light, it makes my insides quiver with the need for more. He leans down to whisper in my ear, “Don’t you like it?” It sends a new rush of pleasure through me.

I moan. “Yes.” My voice is shaky now. “If you’re going to kiss me again with almost no clothes on, I can’t be responsible for what happens.”

Ryan drags his finger lower down my chest, and my nipples harden, aching for him to keep going. “I’m good with rules. You’ll be okay.” One finger hooks onto the low neckline of my shirt, and he tugs it away from my body to glance inside. “That bra looks uncomfortably warm.”

“Meaning I should remove my bra?” I shake my head as I pull his hand away. “You’re dangerous.”

“I’m everything you need, Charlie. Take off your bra. Get comfortable for me.”

“What?”

“Take it off.”

I stiffen, because his tone sounded a lot like an order. Did he just… “I’m fine the way I am.”

He tugs me against his body by my waist, the thick length of his erection hard against my belly. “I’m not going to say it again.”

Unbelievable. “You’re damn right you’re not.” Ryan’s chest is rock-hard under my palm as I shove against him, but he doesn’t loosen his hold. While him being dominating could be sexy given the right setting, it’s making anger simmer in me at the moment. “I’m going to stay dressed, and you are going to let me go.”

Ryan lifts his arm up quickly and backs off. “They warned me you might fight our attraction.”

“Warned you?” My blood begins to boil, because refusing to take off my clothes for him is hardly me being difficult. “Because I won’t strip on command for a man I just met?”

“Do you or don’t you want to sleep with me?”

“I did. Until I found out what a jerk you are.”

Ryan sighs. “This is going to take some getting used to. Why are you denying your desires?”

“Keeping my bra on is hardly denying my desire.”

He steps toward me again. “Isn’t it though?” He gazes at my breasts. “Because I think having only the thin layer of your shirt between your nipples and my chest would feel really good for you. “

“I—” My nipples harden at the thought he’s put in my head. When he moves close enough that mere inches are between our bodies, I don’t move away.

“Do you want to touch me?” he asks.

I nod, even though I should tell him to back off.

He takes my hand and puts it on his bare chest. “I’d like to touch you too. There’s a lot we can do without breaking any rules.”

I nod again. My palm tingles, and I wonder if the line of what’s allowed is drawn just at actual intercourse.

“Take off your clothes,” he growls.

And the moment is ruined. I step back and cross my arms. “This ordering thing you do doesn’t sit well with me.”

Ryan opens his mouth to speak, but I hold up my hand. “Hear me out. One day, you telling me to get naked will probably be a turn-on, but right now, it makes me feel like I’m nothing but a woman you want to screw.”

The snarl Ryan lets out is one of frustration. “My god, you humans are complicated.”

“Did you just call me a human? As in… you aren’t one?”
