Asher had been with more than his share of women in his day, but hands down, none had ever rocked his world like Quinn Summers. And by the look on her face, he’d venture a guess that he wasn’t the only one feeling the effects. Had he honestly thought this woman cold?—a shrew?—compared her to a porcupine? Nothing could be further from the truth. She was the hottest, sweetest thing he’d ever had the pleasure of taking to his bed, and now that he had her there, he had no intention of letting her go.

Did this complicate things? Hell yes. Was it worth it? Fuck yeah. Would she agree? Shit, he hoped so. If she wasn’t sold yet, he had the whole night to convince her otherwise.

“You all right?” he asked, reaching up to tuck a strand of pale blonde hair behind her ear. He told her he’d be careful, gentle with her, but what had started as such certainly hadn’t ended that way. Shit, he hoped he didn’t hurt her. She was so damn tight, so tiny . . .

Quinn nodded but didn’t speak. He studied her a little bit longer while attempting to sort out the riot of emotions battering around inside his chest. The fullness in his heart was an uncomfortable pressure. This couldn’t be love—could it? He’d never had the experience before to know for sure, but his father seemed to think it was. The only thing he knew for sure was that he’d almost lost this woman tonight, and the thought of it terrified him. It made him want to wrap her up in his arms and never let go.

She broke his stare, looking a little uncertain—nervous? Maybe what she saw in him was scaring her as much as it did him. Fuck, he needed to get a handle on himself before he went and really freaked her out by telling her he was in love with her or some crazy shit like that. He might not know Quinn as well as he wanted to, but she wore those walls like a coat of armor. And he’d be willing to guess that there was a good reason for it.

That he was getting a glimpse of her now, unguarded, was a rare gift he wasn’t taking for granted. He could already sense her rallying the troops to re-erect those damn barriers. But before the hedging doubts could take root in her mind, he waged his own assault on her defenses and kissed her. The last thing he wanted was her regretting this, regretting him, but then wasn’t that just delaying the inevitable? If she truly knew him, would she really want him? Likely not . . . The only reason she was here at all was that she needed him.

When he tried to break their kiss, Quinn pulled him back to her. “Don’t leave . . .” she whispered between kisses. “Not yet.”

She thought he was leaving her? What kind of an asshole did she take
