CHAPTER 9

Josie didn’t give him an opportunity to reply. She was afraid if she did he’d turn her away or get up and leave the room. And she not only needed to sleep in his bed, but she also needed his big and solid presence next to her.

She quickly walked around the king-size bed and slid in beneath the cotton sheets that held his heady scent.

“Okay?” she asked.

“Okay,” he replied after a moment of hesitation. His voice sounded deeper than usual.

“I’m sorry, but even after all the cleanup in there, the room just felt tainted. Maybe I’ll feel differently about it tomorrow night.”

“It’s okay, Josie. Just go to sleep.”

He hadn’t moved a muscle since she’d gotten into the bed and a thick tension wafted from him. She didn’t want to go to sleep.

What she wanted was his strong arms to surround her. What she needed was his mouth on hers, taking the taste of fear away. She was certain of what she wanted, and she wanted Tanner to make love to her.

Since the night of their kiss they had been dancing around each other with a thick cloud of sexual want between them. Oh, yes, she knew exactly what she wanted, what she needed from him right now.

She moved closer to him on the mattress and turned on her side to face him. He lay on his back, his facial features visible in the spill of moonlight through the window.

His eyes were closed too tightly and a tic pulsed in his jawline. His lips pressed together in a taut slash, letting her know that sleep was the last thing on his mind.

She reached out her hand and placed it on his warm, muscled chest. “Tanner,” she whispered. “I want you.”

He turned his head to look at her and unadulterated desire flowed from his eyes. “Oh, Josie... I—I want you, too.” The words sounded as if they were beaten out of the very depths of him.

“So, what are we going to do about it?” She moved her hand and felt the rapid beat of his heart beneath his warm skin.

“We shouldn’t do anything about it.” His glittering gaze held hers intently.

“But then we’d have regrets. Tanner.” She caressed her hand across the width of his chest. “I’ve had enough regrets in my life. I don’t want to live with any more.”

With a low-throttled groan he turned over on his side and took her into his arms. He rolled her over on her back and then his mouth was on hers.

Hot and hungry, his lips demanded a response and she gladly gave it. She opened her mouth and their tongues swirled together. His hands caressed up and down her back and the heat of his touch radiated through the thin material of her nightgown.

It was exactly what she’d wanted—to taste his unbridled desire for her, to allow her desire for him to explode into something bigger than a man in the woods and something better than an intruder in the suite.

He tasted of the promise of things she’d never had in her life before.
