Chapter 12

JT paced the room, cursing Dan and worrying about him at the same time. Why did he leave her like that? Shoo her away like some inconvenience? Was he going after Mercado without her? Was this some poor attempt at chivalry?

She'd gone over every scenario she could, no matter how ridiculous it sounded. The one she kept coming back to, the one that made the most sense, didn't please her at all. He was at the Mercado compound, in the attempt to get the jump on him. Dan doesn't see that guard behind him. The guard shoots, and Dan goes down. The next time JT sees Dan, she's crying over his lifeless body.

Her imagination really did get the best of her at times. At least she prayed that was all the story could be. Her imagination. But Dan had been gone for hours. Where the hell could he be?

JT refused to wait another minute. "Okay, Weber. You've had your fun. If you aren't in my room in five minutes and tell me what the hell is going on, I'm heading down to the bar and finding Mercado's men on my own." She paused. As an afterthought, added, "and if you went after Mercado yourself, I'll hunt you down."

"And do what?"

She choked on her last words and spun around. Dan stood in the doorway adjoining the two rooms, taking up most of the frame with his own. Since when did a black shirt, equally black pants, and an arrogant smile ever look so good? Those damned incredibly blue eyes danced as he gave her a slow, lazy and admiring look. His strong jaw tensed and relaxed as he breathed in and out. The moment seemed to last for ever, and stole her breath in the process. He'd never looked more like an agent than at that moment.

And, God as her witness, she'd never wanted another man more than she wanted Dan Weber. Right here. Right now. Her desire pooled between her legs, settling into her core.

The corner of his mouth turned up into a grin as he looked at her.

"Dan," she whimpered, desperate for his touch.

He must have read her mind and took the few steps needed to close the gap between them. He pulled her into his arms and crushed his lips down on hers. As he held her closer and intensified his kiss, his tongue parted her lips, and she opened her mouth to welcome him home.

Holy cow did this man know how to kiss. She could taste alcohol on his tongue, which she didn't appreciate. How dare he go and have a drink when she was stuck up in the room wondering and waiting. But she could also taste him, his very essence. And dear God he tasted like... Like... a promise. She couldn't explain it, only that she knew this kiss was only the beginning to what he planned to offer her.

He conveyed such an unbridled hunger it almost frightened her. Almost. The warmth from the passion in their kiss spread through her body.
