A man stood in the opening. With no light from outside, no light from within, I could barely discern his outline from the ebony sky. But I could hear him breathing. I reached for my gun and he rushed me.

I’ d learned to fight as a kid, which meant I’ d learned to fight dirty. While rolling around in the dirt with little boys, a little girl quickly learns she’ d better get mean or she’ d get hurt.

I’ d refined my street skills at the academy, where we’ d learned hand-to-hand combat— the kind of fighting that usually went down in bars.

Except when I had to fight drunks, they were slower and stupider than me. My intruder was none of the above.

On my initial strike to the face, he grabbed my wrist, twisted me around. I kicked backward, going for his knee. He did a fancy sidestep, twirled me like a dancer, and kissed me on the mouth.

The first taste and I knew. Cadotte. Who else?

My racing pulse slowed as he deepened the kiss. Had he been here all along, waiting for me to return?

Or had he climbed up the building again and slid inside?

I yanked my lips away. “What in hell are you doing here?”

He didn’ t answer. I couldn’ t see his face. Unnerved, I struggled to get free. He only pulled me tighter against him, where I discovered he was very glad I was home.

Though my body shouted for me to take him to the ground and climb on top, my heart still pounded with an excess of adrenaline, and my emotions were too tangled for me to be anything but angry.

“Let me go.”

“No.” He nuzzled my neck, scraped his teeth along a throbbing vein, licked my collarbone—

I stiffened, remembering the dream. “Right now, Ca-dotte!”

His laugh rubbed his chest against mine. My shirt was still open, my bra a mere wisp of lace. I bit my lip to keep from moaning out loud at the friction. How could I be angry, aroused, and frightened all at the same time?

“Don’ t make me hurt you.”

“Why don’ t you go ahead and try?” he whispered.

Now how could I resist an offer like that?

Before he could think, I brought my knee up hard and fast. He twisted quicker than a cat, and all I hit was his thigh.

“Ah, ah, ah. If you did that, there’ d be no fun later.”

I shoved him away and he let me. For a tall, lanky geek with glasses, he had more muscle mass than I would have figured. But since I’ d seen him naked, I should have known better.

I tried a flat-handed shot to his chest. He blocked that and did some fancy Oriental jump-kick that I was barely able to deflect.

“What the hell was that? Kung fu?”

“Tai chi. It’ s very good for you.”

“I bet.”

He became less and less the geeky egghead with every passing moment.
