I’m so dazed from the adrenaline in my system that I crash right into someone. My phone and keys hit the floor with a jingle and a bang that sets my heart racing. I’m just about to apologize when I feel his powerful arms catch me.
Fabien.
I look up into his eyes, burning like hot coals. His face tentacles flow around his head like he’s underwater. Like the little mermaid, but a guy with tentacles.
It almost makes me giggle.
The suckers of his hands grab hold of me as his fingers wrap around my arms. It feels like a hundred tiny kisses spreading across my skin.
“Are you all right?” he asks. He actually looks a little worried.
No, I’m not. My boss just threatened to get me killed. Oh, and I’m an undercover cop.
I nod and smile, even as my gaze slides down to my phone. My unlocked phone that I just got done talking to Rasmussen on. Getting threatened, I mean. But the number would still be there, and if Fabien wanted to check it… well, it’d save Rasmussen the effort of ratting me out.
“I wasn’t going to fall,” I explain. “I just feel a little light headed.”
“Do you need to lay down?”
No, I don’t think that’s what I need at all.
I need to get my fingers around that phone and delete the number. But at the rate I’m going, Fabien will be carrying me to my room and bringing me chicken soup.
I need to distract him. And I know just the way.
I run my fingertips across the softness of his face. There’s a man, avery sexyman, underneath all those tentacles. His jawline is square and thick, and his lips are the fullest, most luscious lips I’ve ever kissed.
Is this what octopus lips look like?
No, dummy, octopuses probably don’t have lips…
I have to stand on tip-toes and even then, he’s a full foot taller than me. When I try to pull him down, his powerful body yields to me and he lifts me to him at the same time.
There’s a moment of confusion in his eyes that I relish.
Got yah!
He wasn’t expecting this. I’ve finally knocked the cocky Fabien off balance. It feels great, honestly. It makes me want to do more, to see how far I can push him before he cracks.
And we have all night…
