“Sorry. The smell of that coffee brewing went right under my door into my head and woke me up. I had to come find it.” He stood in the doorway, shirtless. Spiky short hair bristled over the top of his perfectly shaped head. A grizzling of beard covered his angular jaw. His sweats rode low on his hips, showing a part of his lower abdomen, and it was slightly round, taut.

She looked away. “It’s almost ready.”

“Cups in that cupboard right above the coffeemaker there. I’ll be right back.”

From the cupboard, she took two hefty mugs, black with purple interior, and set one on the counter for Lex. The other she filled midstream from the pot, unable to wait.

She wanted him to be wearing a shirt when he came back.

He wasn’t.

And if he’d looked good to her in a photo, or dressed in a leather jacket last night, or standing outside the hospital, his head dotted with snow—well, it all paled by comparison. Shoulders, hard and round; chest scattered with exactly the right amount of dark hair, silkily and artfully spread between his dark nipples; that smooth belly.

She aimed for a disdainfully arched brow. “Go put some clothes on, Luthor. You’re half-naked.”

He touched his chest with his good palm. “Making you nervous?”

Snow light caught along one rib. Kim wanted to taste the round line with her tongue. “No,” she said.

“Liar,” he said with a smile in his voice.

Kim met his eyes. “It would just be a bad idea.”

His eyes, even sleepy, were electrically blue. “What would be?” He stepped closer, and Kim found her back against the counter. His gaze moved down her face, lingered at her mouth, moved lower. It felt as if he were touching her, and in reaction, her hips softened. She forced herself not to react, not to do anything but meet his eyes with a steely glance of her own.

“Having sex,” she said, and was pleased by how level she sounded.

“Maybe I was just thinking about kissing you,” he said.

“No, you weren’t. And anyway, that’s probably not a good idea, either.”

“Oh, well,” he murmured.

And did it anyway.

It was so smooth, so easy that Kim couldn’t even bristle. One minute he was standing in front of her, the next he bent fluidly and slanted his mouth over hers and kissed her. She winced a little, and he whispered, “Sorry,” then more gently kissed her. His whole body seemed to take part, coaxing her body into it. His mouth opened and invited her to come exploring. His hands moved slowly on her back, which she discovered was arched, pressing her bare lower belly into the bareness of his lower belly, and he noticed it, too, and moved, back and forth. A large, lazy snake of an erection rose and nudged into her thighs. Kim made a soft noise.

“Kissing is good, hmm?” he said, and bent his head lower, to kiss her neck. Lazy hot tongue coiling circles around her throat, lazy hand curling up her body, lazy nudging of his cock against her leg.
