His gaze meets mine, and our foreheads are nearly touching. We’re still cradling each other’s faces, and for the life of me, I can’t move away.

“You’re…you snuck into my life from the moment I saw you, doc.”

“Luke.”

It’s all I could manage, and then his lips are pressed against mine.

Chapter 20

Luke

I know I shouldn’t be doing this, kissing Clara like she belongs to me. But I don’t give a damn.

I’m sick of pretending this woman, this fucking incredible woman, isn’t sinking into the very core of my being.

She’s been all I can think about for days, and keeping her safe has been my number one priority since the moment I saw her threatened.

God, she’s not any of that. She’s not just a responsibility or a hookup. She’s something else, and I can’t truly bring myself to admit what, but…

I continue to not care.

I caress every inch of her mouth with my own, exploring her like I need to take note of the intimate details of what she feels like.

God, she tastes like heaven and sin, all at once.

Playfully nipping at her bottom lip, I pull back just enough to get a peek at her kiss-swollen lips, and she moans. The sound causes my dick to twitch in my jeans.

Damn, that’s the best sound in the fucking world.

“Luke, I?—”

When she starts to pull back, I wrap my arms around her slim waist, pulling her closer.

“Don’t you dare, darlin’. I need every bit of you right the fuck here.”

I glance up, taking in the combination of lust and apprehension in her eyes.

“But I promise to leave it there. Just you tonight. Let me make you feel good. Safe.”

That control of hers falters as I say the words, and I dive back into kissing her.

I mean every damn word.

If this has to be only about pleasuring her, preferably until she’s screaming my name, I am more than happy to oblige.

Clara’s tongue swirls with mine, and I lace my fingers through her hair as I rise up onto my knees.

Her hands come to my sides. For a second, there is a flash of discomfort, but I shrug it off.

Nothing can stop me from enjoying this, even a little pain.

Leaning her back onto the couch, I angle myself between Clara’s legs, and images of driving my cock deep inside her make my desperate shaft swell.

Not yet. She’ll run. Just about her. Just her…for now.

I’m kneeling above her now, and Clara is resting her weight on her elbows as we hold the kiss.

My mouth is needed other places, however.
