Excerpt:
He
rose from his perch on the desk, straightening to his full height, and pressing
as much of it as he could against her body. She stiffened at first contact, but
as they stood and stared at each other, her body melted into his, softening and
warming with the heat they created by just being in the same room. He moved his
hand from her chin, skimming the soft skin of her jaw until he speared his
fingers into the silken titian strands of her hair. They were slippery and cool
against his skin as he burrowed in and palmed her head, tugging her forward.
His movements were fueled by need and less smooth than he normally used in the
seduction of women, but this was Cici in front of him with her full breasts
pressed against his chest and her lips parting on a sound
somewhere
between a whimper and a sigh.
“I
think…” She licked her lips, the wetness triggering a response in him that made
his knees buckle slightly. “I think you might be exaggerating this attraction
between us.”
“Oh
really?” He let his fangs descend, the tension in his body screaming for some
release—screaming for her blood. But he never engaged in blood play. It was too
intimate for him, a connection with another person that he had no interest in
making. Sex was fun. Sex was hot and dirty and very over once the sweat cooled on your skin. But Cici made him
want to sink fang and cock into her so deep they were one body. He wouldn’t
allow it, but the need was distractingly powerful.
“Happy.”
He murmured his nickname for her against the warm column of her neck, his fangs
grazing lightly as he blazed a trail of kisses up to her ear. She shivered, her
small hands clutching at his shirt and dragging him closer, her legs parting
slightly, skirt riding higher, to allow him to insert his thigh between hers
and wedge their bodies together. His dick, hard and aching, pressed against her
core as they humped slowly in an ancient rhythm that felt new with her. He
whispered in her ear. “You are a woman who has pretended to be other people for
your country. You have stolen, betrayed, and killed to protect others. You are
brave, smart, and proud.”
He
pulled back slightly to look into her eyes, the flash of blue resembling the
purest part of flame. “You’re not a coward or a liar.”
Deacon
kissed her then, his mouth coaxing the truth from her that her pride would not
let her admit. She opened to him immediately and he took what she offered. His
tongue swept inside her mouth, tangling with hers before he retreated to run a
fang along the tender skin on the inside of her lower lip. Cici gasped, her
hands traveling from his shirt to tangle in his hair, her tug not so gentle as
she dragged his mouth his mouth back to hers. This time she led the possession,
taking him with a rough need that contradicted her earlier words.
He
palmed her ass, the skirt riding up high enough for him to feel smooth skin and
give him the fantasy-inducing knowledge that she wore a thong. Cici rode his
thigh, the kiss becoming messier and more carnal with each passing second.
Deacon wanted to reach down, unzip his cargo pants, and free his heavy length
from its current place of strangling torture. It would take no time to push
aside her flimsy excuse for underwear and slide inside until she covered him
with her warmth.
Now
was not the time.
His
entire crew was just outside of her shitty excuse for a security door and he
would not be caught with his pants around his ankles by one of his men. He
pulled back reluctantly, breaking the physical connection, but unable to do
anything to sever the tether of emotion that tied them together.
Cici
stumbled backward on her high heels, catching herself on the small conference
table behind her. She looked dazed, aroused, and delicious.
“You.
Wet and willing. In my bed.” He licked his lips, tasting her as he willed his
fangs to recede. “Anything less than that and I will go mad. You get me?”
She
nodded. “Yes. I get you.”
“No
more lies about how we don’t have to do this, that we don’t want
to
do this.” He could hear Andy walking toward the office down the hallway, but
this needed to be said once and for all. “No lies between us as long as your
life is in danger. Agreed?”
“Agreed.”
Cici looked as if she’d just signed away her soul to the devil. He knew what
that felt like; he’d done just that two hundred and thirty-nine years ago.
